Wish those trade rumors with the Raven's would stop :)
Goodman for McGahee….I wouldn’t make that trade unless Moreno was out for the year. :)
Thanks for the tracks, and it’s GAME DAY!

Without question.
McGahee’s a shadow of his former self. Goodman is solid!

Well
McGahee had 12 TD’s last year, That’s a pretty tall shadow. I think the 2010 Broncos could benefit from that many rushing TD’s.

Guess I've just never been a fan of him.
Yeah, 12 rushing TD’s, but how much of that is attributed to their outstanding O-line, instead? Maybe I’m being ticky tacky. But Goodman has way more value than McG.

Thanks, John.
