Sending Them Off the Right Way

very well said

I think this type of discussion needs to be periodically repeated. Rec’d

there are those who enjoy being inflammatory and have no intention of justifying comments. By all means we should promote constructive criticism, underlining the word constructive. However, I personally would like an “Ignore button” for those deemed as unwilling/unable to post in functional and constructive way. One particular irritant for me is two or more of these types holding what amounts to be a telephone conversation (dominating a significant string of posts) to the point of excluding others from their conversation. It’s like hearing an overly loud and boorish person talking about their personal lives on a cell phone. Sigh, I guess this the way of the world nowadays.

It is important to note that this poster highly values this site and its efforts to monitor and encourage quality participation. My thanks for your efforts Kentucky, yours and all other responsible for producing and excellent site!

But I don’t think Simms will ever be successful in the nfl. I say that because of his post traumatic stress injuries he has now…I don’t believe he will ever get that hit out of the back of his head. Great post and I agree with you 100%, but when it comes to other teams especially teams in our division, I say stick a fork in them and make sure they are done!

He wasn’t a very good quarterback for us, last season. However, I didn’t (and I won’t) say “Good riddance”, “Simms is a piece of trash” or anything of the sort because, as a human being, he deserves respect and thanks for the time he spent with the Denver Broncos.

I would also like to add that (if any of you are like me), there is no way that I could perform half as well as Simms did. I think I would have personally wet myself if I were thrown into a NFL game staring down 300+ lb. linemen whose job was to specifically hit me as hard as they could. No Thanks!

As for Hillis, I hate to see him go, but he wasn’t a fit for the new regime and I’m happy to see that he’ll get a chance in a system that fits him better.

I appreciate your trying to make our small corner of the world a better place.

I’m just thrilled Simms was cut.

Same way I was thrilled when we cut Webster and Manuel last offseason.

My satisfaction comes from knowing Denver is better without these players. What Simms does from here is up to him.

Chris, may I suggest the broadcast booth to replace your Bronco hating father.

The post that was deleted was a post by a very passionate fan. He stood on his courage of convictions, and stated what he believed. He was merely letting people know that being upset with the Broncos Organization and disagreeing with them did not mean you were not a Broncos fan. He had been to every game since ,85, I think. he spoke from his heart, and that I respect forever.

  His historical knowledge was awesome, and the administration of this site chose to squelch it as opposed to let a fan speak his mind. Who knows, maybe more of us would have admitted that we felt just like him. Things get Censored out of fear, and it seems that if you don’t drink the kool-ade, your opinion is offensive. If only we all had the courage of convictions to speak from the heart like he did, this world would be a better place.

  No chance for a “spirited” conversation about football, as the admin squashed it. Do you realize what might have been learned from a man who has been to that many games personally? the TV does not show everything going on on the field. His insight could change alot of opinions. But, we will never know, because certain opinions are not allowed (we know, we know). Oh, well.

  I am sure I will get roasted for this post, but I am willing to stand in the heat, and stand for what I believe to be right. I did not agree with everything he said, but was very interested in the debate that never followed due to squelching.

  Oh, well…..Go Broncos.

and I will digress…it just seems to me that what happened was exactly what he was talking about. Isn’t that ironic?

yes the last few years denver has not play up to our beflif the last 4 years but that does not mean we can attck them personlilly because they try very very hard to win for them and us i did some reherseh denver has not had worse than a 5-11 season since 1990 so the media can hate us as much as they want they hate us becuse of a small market denver will be ok we are in my opinton between a 6-10 and 10-6 team we have smart peopie running our team so dont panic let our rivls make fun of us as long as we have to go against CIA scott lol old al a heratless AJ will be ok

Great Post. 100% agree.

I share your sentiments and laud you for speaking up. I haven’t been to the DP website for a long time because of the “crazies” there. It goes far beyond shrillness.

Rec’d.

He’s a player I was sad to see go. While it has been pointed out here that his coverage skills were less than hoped thus putting DJ into coverage more often than would have been preferred, I thought he was a heck of a football player and would have liked to have seen him stay. I have read that he was a positive influence in the locker room as well, and of course we never saw him in the headlines or police blotters.

Xs and Os – As SIL he came out on passing downs, presumably to allow a nickle back cover the TE, and presumably to allow the SOL to rush the passer when bringing heat from the strong side, but wouldn’t the SS normally be responsible for the TE, or the SOL if the WOL is rushing?

I remember one his sacks against Cincy’s Carson Palmer where Doom was coming from the strong side and Andra came right up the gut between center and right guard – his blitz timing was impeccable.

Reportedly he’s signed with the Bills – they’re getting a darn good football player.

 Kentuckybronco, your post was excellent.

Great sentiments, as usual, KB.

I’ve been a Broncos fan my entire life. Born and raised in the greatest city in the world! As a child I remember going to games with my Grandparents. They had tickets in “The South Stands” and I always remember the exhilaration of being a part of the chaos.

There was so much passion there! Big burly dudes with bigger tattoos and bright orange shirts; screaming for the opponent’s blood! But amongst the fierceness, there was always a respect. A respect for the people around you — a respect for the other Broncos’ Fans! Respect for the team. People didn’t boo a QB in the preseason. Sure, there were Raiders fans that were dumb enough to show up and talk trash and Broncos fans that defended their home with insightful jabs and witty retorts. But at the end of the game, the fans would pat the losers on back and tell them, “Good game. Maybe next time.” And snicker…

Maybe I was wearing orange colored glasses. Maybe it was just a different time. But I like to think that Broncos’ Fans are still classy. I’d like to think that Denver still knows how to get loud, without getting hateful. That we now how to get mad, without getting small.

I see MHR as a place to cultivate that spirit. A place to grow respect while we each learn more about the game, our team, and each other.

To all the men that fought for us on the field last year and beyond. Thank you. And thanks for the great post kentuckybronco.
