People can use statistics to prove anything, 87% of all people know that.
Thanks NYC...
Ehats McDaniels doing? Our rookies SUCK….man I am over this team!…….I will take our rookies all day, every day……no mention of ANY Broncos rookies by Whyche and Marvez…..I had to laugh.
Thanks agin for tracks!
Those that cant coach, compete!
Failing to plan is planning to fail.
All I want is 53 Rod Smiths. Is that asking too much????

While I always appreciate the Broncos news
I was actually MORE excited to read the brief bit about “Walking with Dinosaurs.” I might need to visit Denver for that!!!

Shouldn't it be
“Running From Dinosaurs”?

Thanks, NYC
That Dolphins/Estefan article and the Rooney article have some . I completely agree that every aspect of American life should represent American population and diversity. However, diversity FOR THE SAKE OF DIVERSITY is discrimination in itself. I wish these reports would announce the names of these individuals as PEOPLE, not as members of certain races. Rooney rule? I wish it were common sense to interview the best prospects, regardless of race. Mandating a certain number of minorities puts qualification second to race, and that is wrong.
You know, we are in the midst of the off-season doldrums, so I thought I’d throw out something controversial (as if there hasn’t been enough excitement since December).

if our d-line is our biggest concern...
…I’ll be happy going into the season.
To me, OLB play is the biggest question mark going into the season. Bowen seems to think these guys will surprise. I think if we can find guys at that position who can cover, we have a chance to be a very good defense — one that plays big and mean, and is versatile enough (and heavy enough) to switch to a 5-2 or a 4-3 on the fly.
D-Line or Backs?
How many of you think last year’s defensive problems were the D-Line or were they the D-Backs? I am of the opinion that it was coaching and play calling (e.g. putting a safety in the box) coupled with horrible play from our safeties and Nate Webster. I also noted a steep drop in effectiveness after Champ went down.
Brees
I liked Brees’ measured and rational comment regarding Orton. I always appreciate that kind of response of some screaming MSM idiot trying to sell me OxiClean or (fill in the product) for $19.99 (but WAIT, if you ….)

Interesting story on Fox
http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/9735334/7-Points:-Ravens-need-a-receiver-now
It was interesting..
But it left out some facts. It is a good example of the Broncos paying a lot of money for players that did not live up to their contracts. And that habit is still going to cost them this year as well.
But I don’t see Bly playing to a level that will cause us to wish we had not let him go.
Agreed....the fact we had to take that hit makes you realize how much McD valued him as a player.

This is a stretch....
Marvez is picking O and D rookies of the year already. Talk about bias
“Pre-camp rookie take: The frontrunners for NFL Offensive and Defensive Rookies of the Year are Arizona running back Chris Wells and Miami cornerback Vontae Davis.”
I guess he has a cystal ball into the future, we’re not even in training camp yet for crying out loud.
