Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

Depth, depth, depth. Having a healthy Vickerson in the rotation is only going to make our DL that much stronger over the course of the season. Even if Vick loses his starting job, he is an asset on the line and I am glad to see him cleared.

A bring your lunch pale to work guy. Does every thing asked of him, and has an edge. Although he has had some bone headed plays, guys like Vick contribute mightly to a team.
What's the difference between ignorance and apathy?
I don't know and I don't care
Big Vick will be a good backup but Denver should stay with the talented youth of Williams and Knighton who may have been a top 5 DT combo at the end of the year last year. They played like the Williams wall!
Vick is the type of player we needed in the Superbowl. I don't agree with his stomping on a guys leg or injuring anyone but he doesn't back down in a fight and players get fired up when they see one of there own not backing down. I think TJ Ward and Vick give us two guys on the defense that will intimidate offenses and were going to need it against the NFC West. The fact that Williams and Jackson contribute so much on the d-line rotation now Vick will be able to stay fresh in games and the season and he can dominate in spot duty and keep Pot Roast fresh as well.

I think Vick will be the contributor this year. I can't see him getting a starting spot.
Vickerson is a load with a mean streak. He turned out to be a much better 1/2/3 tech than 4/5 tech. Having him back in a D-Line rotation will help a lot. :2cents:

He helped change everything. From where the team was to where it's gotten was in no small part due to the attitude of players like Big Vick
Go back and watch again
No Elway turned the team around. Vickerson is a average player who will provide great depth but in no way did he change everything. For starters he only played 5 games, 4 starts, in Elways first year before he got hurt for the season. He wasn't exactly blowing away teams last year either, I believe he was ranked close to last by PFF in NT rankings. There's a reason the defense started to get better and knighton started to get better once Williams was the starter. I like Vick and think he will be beneficial coming off the bench if he can keep his temper down.
Big Vick has to come in and show up this offseason. I honestly believe he is fighting for a roster spot. 2 out of the last 3 years he finished the year on IR, hes in the last year of his contract, he's 31 years old and has hit his ceiling. If both Unrien and Austin come in and outperform Vick he could be cut in favor of the 2 younger, cheaper and higher potential players. This is a huge camp for Vick, he needs to come in, play tough and keep and his temper off or he could be gone.
