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.

Brodie Croyle has all the intangibles and showed flashes in 2007.
Here is what I found on him before he was drafted in 2006:
Croyle has all the physical skills to be an NFL quarterback. He’s tall, he’s athletic, and he has a strong arm. He is capable of making every throw on the football field, and when he’s on, he can carry a team on his back. He has the mobility in the pocket to elude the rush and escape to find more time to throw. Perhaps most important, Croyle has the intangibles to be successful at the next level. He has a great work ethic, is tough, and knows how to rally his troops.
The two main issues with Croyle and how he projects at the next level are his lack of bulk and his injury history. At the next level, the two will go hand and hand. He has a very thin frame, and may not be able to withstand the beating an NFL quarterback takes. In his four years at Bama, Croyle has had surgery on his left shoulder and right knee. On the field, the main thing Croyle has to do is learn to take what the defense gives him more often. He has had a tendency during his career to force throws, though he has improved a lot over the course of his career.
Croyle could have a bright future at the next level. He has always had the talent, and finally came on as a senior, putting Alabama football back on the map. He continued his success this season with a solid showing at the Senior Bowl in January, and has solidified his grade on Day One. He has an outside chance at landing in the second round.
That will be the worst trade in NFL history. An injury-prone backup (Croyle) and a 2nd round pick that faces the possibility of being a bust for our star receiver Brandon Marshall, who is only going to get better.
Scratch that, the worst trade in NFL history already happened, involving Jay Cutler.
Maybe they would trade Cassel. Apparently he isn't doing well in the Chiefs new offense and might lose the starting job.
Didn't Cassell just sign a big huge contract? Wouldn't that cause problems trading him?
Anyway, I would be shocked to see two teams in the same division make a big trade involving Marshall. But the time has come where even the stubborn and ignorant must accept that Marshall needs to go.
