Thanks NYC.

Seems more and more of the Cutler articles are starting to show his faults versus praising him as the second coming of Christ with claims of him making the WR, RB, Offense, Defense and Waterboy much improved!

Thank Nyc

Yeah Matt, I think that they ran out of mulch to recycle. They’re just trying to find a new groove for an old record.

Man, just once I'd love to see an OTL expose

on Bob Nell’s personal skeletons. Sanctimonious slob.

Scheffler: A Shining Example

of how to handle adversity with class. I’m glad he’s still with us.

I am Surprised

I wasn’t expecting this from Scheffler and was certainly one of those suggesting his trade. His personal statements and reactions have really impressed me however, this is certainly a guy whose attitude I want on my team. I can understand why if he acts like this with the coach that they wouldn’t have traded him.

Tis better not to throw it to the deep receiver but the open receiver.

Wish Cutler would have had this attitude.

I know, I know. Bygones, people. Bygones.

I do Like

how Scheffler provides a good foil for those who look at the scenario with Cutler and think it was the organizations fault.

IMHO, it was mishandled from both sides,

but Cutler could have stopped it. McDaniels tried, and couldn’t stop it without Cutler being on board.

But what do I know. I wasn’t there. I only know what the media has allowed me to know, and a lot of hot air from speculators.

John Clayton

He’s back!

The Broncos have had a chaotic offseason, but a lot of their fans remain optimistic. John Clayton thinks Denver’s devotees should curb their enthusiasm.

Wow, now it is too much to be optimistic. So who goes to the top of the list? Clayton or Schein?

scheffler, cutler and false trade rumors

scheffler was supposed to be available for a 7th rounder on draft day (msm), and McDaniels supposedly wanted to straight up trade with Cutler for Cassell, which Belicik nixed for a 2nd rounder (msm), the msm is basically saying that not only McDaniels is an idiot but so was Belicik and every GM in the league, (for not making the trades) does any one catch my drift? You can’t have it both ways…genius/idiot! I’ve never heard McD say that he would trade Cutler for Cassell straight up, or scheff for a 7th rounder on draft day, yet this is his MSM reputation, what gives?

"atta baby, nice play!"

i hope orton gives him the same treatment in the preseason game, cutler cannot play when he gets angry, Rivers already proved how to turn him into a 6 year old.

That quote from Rivers isn't what I saw when I was watching the game.

He might have said that when the cameras weren’t on him, so he is full of it on that one. Then again I don’t expect him to tell a writer exactly what he said. That is as far as I will go on that topic because Jay isn’t here anymore so I don’t give a ( expetive inserted here ) about what goes on between those two.
