Whenever I see the words Denver Broncos tagged in a Jamie Dukes post, I know two things. One, nothing can be positive about it. Two, it's lacking conventional wisdom and filled with assumptions that honestly make no sense. Case in point:

Jamie Dukes earlier today wrote an article on moves he liked and didn't like in the off-season. His disclaimer on his twitter page was I DON'T HATE YOUR TEAM!!!!! Mature Jamie... Very mature. Now it doesn't take a genius to know that it wouldn't be positive. I dared to click the link to article and braced myself for the worst. 

"Denver Broncos – In moving past the Jay Cutler situation, I’ve been interested in the possible departure of Denver’s second-best player, WR Brandon Marshall. According to reports, Marshall has been demoted on the depth chart. Injured Pro Bowl starters generally don’t get moved down the depth chart, and this seems like another petty attempt to demoralize the lone remaining natural offensive leader. By definition, natural leaders are vocal players whose game is so strong other players follow them. This latest attempt to get under the skin of Marshall surpasses another incident earlier this year. Josh McDaniels revealed to Marshall that before he would give him a new contract, he needed to get to know Marshall — which I think is totally reasonable. Marshall replied the best way to do that would be to talk man to man. Marshall intimated that given his body of work, he still felt a new contract was in order. An agitated McDaniels responded that he was having trouble getting past Marshall’s “rap sheet.” While I confess the comment was clever, the Broncos need Marshall. Like him or not, Marshall has that natural leadership dynamic — on and off the field — that players gravitate to." - Dukes

Natural Leadership??? WTH??? 

It's needless to say that Dukes maed a foolish comment that he did backtrack on later in the day on his Twitter page. He said that natural leaders are not vocal and by saying that natural leaders are usually vocal, he really meant they weren't. Wait... wah??? 

That's the point.

He then began to list off vocal leaders versus natural leaders. Vocal leaders according to him are traditional leaders like: "Manning, Lewis, Brady, McNabb, Brees, Rivers, etc..." I'm not going to spend my time arguing with him over Rivers so I am going to move on...

He then expressed what natural leaders were: "Patrick Willis, Eli Manning, Jay Cutler, Randy Moss, T.O, etc..." Apparently these leaders lead by their play. 

So now are you ready for the correction? A NATURAL LEADER IS A LEADER WHO DON'T NEED TO LEARN HOW TO LEAD!!! THEY KNOW HOW TO NATURALLY!!! Or at least that is my take on it. 

So going out and calling Brandon Marshall, who by the way is on trial this Thursday, a leader is misinformed and stupid. Also, isn't it funny that Dukes ignored that McD said the only reason that Marshall was low on the depth chart is because of that trial itself? Oy...

Thanks for listening to my rant lol. I don't think I'm the only one who feels this way.
