and rec’d MHR. Thanks John

With the lack of effort and imagination that Kiz showed in that column, he’s proved that he’s fully qualified for a government job. USAjobs.gov, buddy!

Kizla quoted Shanahan saying the new coach would be “crazy” to overhaul the offense. -Not surprising, since that was just conventional wisdom. But that’s also why he was fired, for letting his wisdom become too conventional.

And once again both the Gazette and a comment in the DP regurgitated that McWannabehoodie dismantled the #2 offense… The #2 offense until they got into the Red Zone, at which point they became a number two offense.

What a tard.

Maybe not next year, but I firmly believe that the face of this franchise over the next decade will be Knowshon Moreno. If he can stay healthy, he’s got both the talent and the personality to become a superstar.

An RB as the face of a franchise for a decade? Highly unlikely. Too much injury risk. And besides, how many RBs are the face of a Super Bowl winning franchise? I’d have to go back to Emmitt Smith to think of a time that happened (those teams had a boat load of stars).

A QB, coach, or great defense is always the face of the franchise. At lease any franchise worth a sh**.

Knowshon would be a smashing success as a Bronco if he gave us six years with a few Pro Bowls. The problem I’ve always had with drafting RBs in round 1 stems from the fact that every year teams find RB studs all over the draft (TD, Forte, Slanton, Sproles, Westbrook, Jacobs, Gore, Portis, Jones-Drew, W Parker, M Turner). You don’t see nearly this many star QBs, LTs, Safties, CBs) taken in the later rounds.

I think Kizla is right. This team at the moment has no defined identity. We all have proven this to some extent by offering up various identies from the coach to the defensive secondary. It seems that even for us fans, the Broncos are the proverbial Elephant and the 6 Blind Men. We are looking at the same team and seeing different identities depending on our own point of view.

A team with an identity doesn’t have that issue. A team with an identity tells the viewer exactly who it is. The best identities even get catchy nicknames.

However, an identity is not bestowed; it is earned. We have a team that has a huge turnover, changed coaches and strategies, and we have never played a game with this new team. Ever. Until our team shows up and plays, we don’t have an identity. Sure, as many have said, we have potential, but potential does not pay the bills.

Where I disagree with Kizla is that at this stage, given the observations above, that at this point in time, to expect this team to have a face is ludicrous. We don’t have an identity and at this point, we shouldn’t. He wrote an article that overstates the obvious. Must be a slow news week.

that the Broncos defense is “porous”? The Colorado Springs Gazette writer is likely basing his opinion on last year’s defense. With all the new faces, and old faces at new positions, even the coaches said they didn’t know what they have. So how does anyone else know?
