Originally posted by flosstein View PostWhat I was saying was if someone was to package a deal for Orton on draft day, I could see us bundling that pick to move up in the early 2nd or low 1st with someone else. As long as we either draft strong DL/LB's and OL's I'm good with everything else. I just don't want to see a blown pick by going for Dez, no matter how good he is. Because if he's that good in 3-4 years we'll be in the same situation that we were in with our former top 3 WR. Why go through the drama again?
If Marshall didnt have a rap sheet we would be paying him that $4 year 47 million contract instead of miami. His production earned it. His off-field exploits didn't.
If Dez Bryant came to Denver and put up similar numbers that marshall did the first 4 years without any legal issues you wouldn't want us to offer him a contract extension?
I don't think the character concerns on Dez Bryant are legit enough to pass on him.

Brian Dawkins
Justin Bannan
Kyle Orton
Brady Quinn
Correll Buckhalter
Jamal Williams
Can we finally stop saying McDaniels only brings in former Patriots?

Originally posted by flosstein View PostWe didn't pony up the dough because of character issues. Big B is just not going to pony up best in class money anymore. If that were the case, our beloved OLB that has a proven 10 sack/yr average no matter where he lines up at would have a deal by now. So what I am saying is why go possibly go through that again? I don't care what his issues are, the point is he does have several character issues.
Is there going to be a lockout in 2011?
Will there be a CBA for 2011?
Mr. Bowlen is a business man.
He knows he can get by utilizing the rules set forth by the NFL to retain current players on his roster at discount rates. As it stands now, the Denver Broncos can RFA tender Elvis Dumervil this year and next year (roughly $6 million guaranteed), instead of investing $20 million guaranteed, and possibility of no NFL in 2011. NFL is a business and Mr. Bowlen wouldn't be where he is today, if he wasn't a prudent business man.
As for Elvis Dumervil, he is a Pass Rush Specialist. He couldn't stop the run to save his life. That is why he has no extension, yet. Now with a formidable and bigger DLine in front of him, it is time for Elvis Dumervil to put up or shut up vs. the run. No excuses. If he does, he may get his extension mid season.

I don't know. Someone who doesn't want to be a Bronco and quits on his team. Why do people gloss over that? Marshall wanted one thing: a ticket out of town. I don't know why people can't accept that, and I don't know why fans would want to keep him around if he doesn't want to be here. He's the next TO, always looking for that next check, never happy with where he is.

That means dumervil or champ should be spooked.
Marshall had character issues.
Champ & Doom have both been solid team players.
That pattern doesn't exist..."That's a crap question."

I think Doom won't demand to be the highest paid guy in the league. He is cut from the team-first mold and I wouldn't be surprised if he took a slightly smaller contract and stayed in Denver. Time will tell though. And now that he's playing behind more competent DEs, he has nowhere to hide and must improve his run stopping abilities. I personally think he will, but it remains to be seen.sigpic

Originally posted by flosstein View PostWhat does Doom have to prove? He averages over 10 sacks /yr. Name another DE/OLB that puts up those nmbers. So what he may be suspect on run defense. 65% of offensive plays are passes. And every run plY does not come straight to his containment area. That's why I stated get him a deal done now because if he has another 10+ sack year in 2011 he's goin to require that type of money. I'm not saying he gets that money now. I'm saying get him a deal sooner because an 800lb gorilla is much easier to deal with than a 1600lb gorilla.
If Doom was halfway decent vs the run then teams may 80% pass 20% run and he would get more sacks!
