The Dude's Mail Sack: A Cage Match Between Jarvis Moss and Marcus Nash!

Mile High Report blogger TJ "The Dude" Johnson posts The Dude's Mail Sack on Thursdays, in which he takes your questions about the state of the Denver Broncos. Got a burning question? Drop it into the The Dude's "Sack" or visit the homepage of Mile High Report.

 

 

 

 

 

TJ, I know I said last week that I thought Kyle Orton's neckbeard was sexy, but that's until we signed Brady Quinn. He's absolutely dreamy.  Have you seen his pecks?  His biceps?  Everyone wants to know, is he going to start in 2010?

--Charlie, Colorado Springs, Colorado

Charlie:  You 26-year-old aerobics instructors are so fickle.  You're lucky I only receive a few questions a week.  But, I do love me a good story, so absolutely.  If you think there is a reason for everything, then you've got to believe in Quinn. The guy grew up living and dying with the Browns.  He's well versed in the history of "The Drive" and "The Fumble." He knows that when it's all said and done, the Broncos will always beat the Browns. Always.  It's destiny.  Browns fans know this.  Broncos fans know this.  So we should accept fate.   In fact, when Quinn was introduced to the media earlier in the week, the first thing he said he remembered about the Broncos growing up were "the comebacks."

This is just another chapter in the Broncos-Browns saga.  The kid that was shunned by the team he grew up cheering for will now play for the team that he grew up cheering against.   The Quinn story can now come full circle. It's almost biblical.  

Then, there are all the strange coincidences.  Quinn has 5 letters in his last name.  So did Elway.  Bizarre.  You can't say the same about Griese, Plummer, Cutler and Horton (the 'h' is silent).   Also, if you multiply Quinn's number in college (10) by 3, you get 30.  If you multiply Orton's number in Denver (8) by 3, you get 24.  And what do you get if you subtract 24 from 30?  That's right, number 7.  Weird. 

Or McDaniels simply got a good back-up quarterback for the price of a 6th-rounder and a fullback who he had no plans to utilize.  You decide.

In truth, although Josh McDaniels denied reports last year that he had actually targeted Quinn before he traded for Orton, there were multiple sources that indicated otherwise. Apparently, that fire was still burning one year later.  We also know that McDaniels considers Charlie Weis, Quinn's college coach and the guy who taught McDaniels how to call plays, a "great friend and mentor."  So if you don't think the topic of Brady Quinn has ever come up in their conversations, you are kidding yourself.  And here is what Weis had to say about Quinn:

I don't think this guy has to go to a program and be groomed for a year. If there was ever a quarterback who was ready to go for the last two years it's him. He's got hammered in the last two years by me so he can take it by anybody. If there is a guy who would be ready to go after walking in that door, he fits the description."

Quinn says he didn't come to Denver to be a back-up quarterback.  I'm taking him at his word.  

 

Teeeeee Jaaaay, I know you are an insider and you are holding back. Give up the goods. Do you think John Elway is just keeping his mouth shut about the whole Denver quarterback situation because he is being a good soldier? Or have you spoken with him and does he tell you super secret things that he really thinks about Josh McDaniels?

--Nick, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Nick: You're correct. I have been holding out on you. Elway has potentially called me and it's my possible understanding that he might, on occasion, have an opinion on the QB situation. Or, there might be another reason. He has a life and isn't rushing to find a camera so the world will know his opinion about Josh McDaniels.

In those private conversation that I have with Elway (so private, in fact, they are inside my head), he tells me that he wasn't a fan of Brian Griese's play. Nor that of his own when he threw 3 interceptions in a game. So this could or could not mean that he is a fan of Kyle Orton. I'm not sure about his leanings towards Brady Quinn, although I'm sure he thinks Quinn is good-looking. We all do.

By the way, I think it's time we erect a statue outside of Invesco field of Elway. Every single team that I have ever seen does this. I don't care if Flyod Little is the reason the Broncos didn't leave Denver. I like bronzes. They are good for the economy. Michael Jordan has one.  And it pisses me off that Dan Marino has one and Elway doesn't.   In fact, let's put up two bronzes of Elway just to show Miami we mean business.  I really like bronzes.

Next time I talk to Elway, I'll ask him his opinion of Jordan (and bronzes) and get back to you.


Lebowski, you're my boy. Should we sign Terrell Owens? The guy is really cut, he's got a winning smile, and they rejected him for the latest season of Dancing With the Stars. He might be a good insurance policy in case Eddie Royal regresses again, and if nothing else, it would be cool to have T.O. and Baby T.O on the same team.

--T. E. Owens, Buffalo, New York

T E: Interesting proposal, but what happens if Baby TO and TO both throw temper tantrums in practice? Our punters and kickers will probably have to head down to Dick's Sports to buy some footballs.  Also, if you haven't heard, Josh McDaniels is just trying to win a bleeping game here.  A 36-year-old wide receiver isn't in the cards.  

 

Dude, bigger draft bust?  Marcus Nash or Jarvis Moss?

--William Frank Middlebrooks, Toronto, Canada

 

William: That's a teeth-gnashing question.   Do you go with the guy Shanahan drafting at the end of the first round who had 4 career receptions or the guy he picked at 17 who has 3.5 career sacks?  Can I call it a wash?  From a monetary standpoint, even adjusted for present values, the Moss deal cost the Broncos more money.  But if I must choose, when it doubt, go with the guy that would win in a cage match.  Moss could take Nash, I'm quite sure, so I'd say Nash was the bigger bust.  Seriously, though, Moss is still playing and there's a chance, although small, he could still produce.  

How about Maurice Clarett? Using a 3rd round pick on a guy who never even saw the field might be even worse, although in Shanahan's defense, he did get Clarett to sign a terrible, incentive-laden contract.  

 

Dude, I like your style.  How about a limerick in honor of the departed Peyton Hillis?

--Samuel E., Los Angeles, California

Sam:  I couldn't have thought of a better idea myself.   For whatever reason, Hillis wasn't in the plans for Josh McDaniels.  I think he'll have a good chance to succeed in the west coast system they are installing in Cleveland. Alright, Peyton HIllis, this one's for you:

Peyton HIllis, we salute you

Orton Vs. Quinn

I recently fanposted why I thought Orton was a better QB than Quinn. What, in your opinion, is the one thing that stands out to you about Quinn that makes him the QB of the future?

My computer beat me at checkers, but I sure beat it at kickboxing.

by CaliBronco408 on Mar 17, 2010 10:32 PM MDT reply actions  

I'll bite

I think Quinn might have more ability or willingness to make something out of nothing.

by tunesmith on Mar 17, 2010 10:35 PM MDT up reply actions  

I think

Orton was held back by his first year in the system with his new supporting cast. Once McD feels 100% comfortable with Orton, Orton will be allowed to make plays on his own and maybe even start changing the play at the line of scrimmage. Quinn won’t be able to do that right off the bat.

My computer beat me at checkers, but I sure beat it at kickboxing.

by CaliBronco408 on Mar 17, 2010 10:41 PM MDT up reply actions  

the willingness to make something out of nothing

is what often leads to the obsession with making something out of nothing, which leads to forcing the ball, which leads to interceptions.

I don’t know if Kyle is too conservative, or if Quinn is too much of a risk-taker. I know it was nice to not worry about picks at the worst possible moment in every game. Sure Orton had some poorly timed picks – what QB doesn’t? But it wasn’t a regular drive-killer like we had become accustomed to with Cutler. After watching the 2009 season, I am more comfortable with Orton, who will take a sack over lobbing up a free-for-all duck on the off chance a Bronco will make the play. It looks great when a Bronco does make the play, but it breaks my heart when teh opposition turns it into a play. Kyle doesn’t give the other team many of those chances.

What about...

What’s easier, for someone good at improvisation to learn discipline, or someone good at discipline to learn improvisation? I tend to think the former, but maybe it’s a coin toss.

by tunesmith on Mar 18, 2010 3:24 AM MDT up reply actions  

This is an interesting twist on the question, although a broader topic.

I think it’s easier to learn discipline. (not that I personally have much, as I’m posting @ work)
Discipline can be made through training and routine.
Quality improvisation = creativity + fast information processing. These are things than can be developed, but not made.

Cali, I'm not saying he is better.

But I do speculate that this is the trade McDaniels wanted all along. Before the Orton deal.

Abide, the dude does. Know you not, but comfort in that I take.

by TJ Johnson on Mar 17, 2010 10:41 PM MDT up reply actions  

So then,

why would McD waste his time training Orton last year if his plan all along was to replace him anyways? If Quinn was decidedly the QB of the future at this point last year, wouldn’t it have been worth a 3rd or 4th round pick then to have him up to speed and in Orton’s shoes right now?

My computer beat me at checkers, but I sure beat it at kickboxing.

by CaliBronco408 on Mar 17, 2010 10:46 PM MDT up reply actions  

the package of players/picks CHI put together was too much to resist

I think this is more ideal. Orton is fairly vested in the system, which well help build upon last year, while Quinn can step in if need be. Quinn also gets a better deal too as last year he would’ve thrown right into the fire. After the mess in CLE, having some time to get into this system first has to have an advantage for him mentally. There are few QB that can jump right into starting QB from college and that’s without taking into consideration whether the QB also has a supporting cast of talent to help with that transition. Quinn now has the advantage of getting settled in before taking a run at the starting job. That is if Orton doesn’t falter badly or get injured severely.

I'm glad we had this talk. -- TJ Johnson

by BroncoInExile on Mar 18, 2010 6:06 AM MDT up reply actions  

AND

Quinn might not have been available if it was up to Mangini. He’s got experience with Weis too, so maybe he felt Quinn had a lot of potential too. Maybe it was only when Holmgren came in and started cleaning house that Quinn became available at all, or at least for a reasonable price.

It's that abstract stats math.

He was just getting rid of decimals for you. 30.46 – 23.57 = 6.89 which rounds to 7. I think we can all agree that 30.46 rounds down to 30 and 23.57 rounds up to 24. The math checks out.

TJ is just a stats guy and sometimes his ways go far beyond our understanding. Next time, maybe he’ll show us his math, step by step.

I don’t understand how George Foster or Willie Middlebrooks can be left out of the biggest BUST convo.

My vote would be Foster. We drafted that clown about three rounds earlier than any other team would have. He’d also win the cage match vs the other Busts.

Look at the letter-writer on that one. One of them is in the conversation.

Foster at least started for 2 (2-1/2? I forget) years and helped us land an overpriced and undisciplined cornerback from a terrible team. That’s actually a funny category to be in: The guy who’s bad, but lands you somebody else bad in a trade. Just weird all around.

Watts??? Yikes. We over drafted that bozo by five rounds.

Same with Pierce and Tovassi…

I think Luke was round 5 or 6 so not really a bust, just a wasted pick. We threw away A LOT of picks in the early 2000s.

In my opinion.

Tovassi!

That one still stings….

I picked Clarett because he's probably packin'...

This is great stuff TJ! I have always secretly (or maybe not so much) been a fan of Terrell Owens. He’s had his run-in’s with McNabb, Garcia, and the Cowboys, but I don’t think it’s as bad as everyone makes it out to be. From what a lot of other players have said/testified, Owens just wants to win a MF game too, he just likes to look pretty while doing so. I would add him at a cheap price as a form of insurance, but like you said, it may not be in the cards.

Also find the Jarvis Moss situation interesting. It seems as though this team is giving him every chance and beyond to produce. I like to think he’d be cut by now if we weren’t giving him one last training camp to prove his worth. After all, DE/OLB is one of our thinnest positions right now, especially with Darrell Reid’s situation in question. Elvis Dumervil could be a holdout, and Robert Ayers is unproven.

Could this be Jarvis’ year? Who knows…

Wow...people really get worked up over basic math around here....

This sack had quite a few wrinkles in it and you could have shaved a bit off your responses, but overall it wasn’t as hairy as last weeks sack. Good job man!

There ya go.

The more time he spends on the bench, the more time that you could socialize with him if you get front row seats behind the Broncos bench. Now, there’s a plan, MHRsGirl.
