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.

I pretty much agree, except for one thing: we have our #2 receiver in Royal. He may line up in the slot for the majority of plays but he's still the #2. Oh, and that list of players would be about perfect.
In McDaniels offense, being the #2 is basically being the slot. Look at Welker, he's been the slot the past 2 years and flourished. Now, undoubtedly we will put Royal on the outside and hope to drop a couple bombs downfield, but more than likely, Royal, with his great route-running and quickness will be a ball-catching machine underneath and using his elusiveness similar to Welker. Our offense (in terms of personnel) actually compares very similarly to the makeup of the Patriots.
Many posters are complaining that we are filling our offensive needs in the FA. Well DUH! If we didn't fill the two gaps on offense, then how on earth are we to fill the defensive needs in the Draft? Did you expect us not to address them at all and just go into the season hurting at RB and WR depth again?
The fact we are leaning so heavily on offense early means we won't have to use hardly any picks on the offensive side of the ball come draft time. I'd much rather us draft defensive then sign a bunch of high priced overrated FA's. :go:
could you imagine the face of opposing defenses when they see Marshall (6'4), Clayton (6'4), Royal lined up in the Welker/slot role, and Tony Scheffler

I think that's mostly the Moreno fanboy club doing that. It's become obvious with the signings of two RB's (along with them supposedly offering Ward), that Denver is not going to draft their mancrush, and they obviously do not like it.

I do not mind either, but I prefer Gaffney because of his familiarity with McD's system.
