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.

So, you are saying that he went to prison for doing absolutely nothing?
Burress shot himself with an unregistered gun. After going to court and getting released on jail a further search of his home turned up numerous other unlicenced firearms.
The guy clearly has a problem with guns and a history of domestic abuse he had a restraining order against him - not to mention the civil cases against him.
No team should touch him and he should not be allowed in the NFL - same goes for Vick. Every day that he is a member of a football team is a slap in the fact to the NFL.
I disagree with you. IMO he has served his sentence for his crime. Now he is out and any employer, even a team in the NFL, can hire him if they so choose. Who are you or I to cast such harsh judgments on people. He served time for his crime. Hopefully, he has learned his lesson well. I detested what Vick did and have the same assessment for him.
If they had skated out of doing any time for their crimes, I may have a different opinion. I am not disrespecting your opinion, just disagreeing with it.
I am not sold on the Broncos recieving core just yet. Brandon Lloyd one good year, teams will game plan him better next year. Adding Plaxico is something we should explore.
I don't think it is needed at all. Brit Davis, Mathew Willis, Eron Riley are all good developmental depth receivers. I haven't ever watched Riley play in terms of watch his offense operate but his size and speed are interesting. Willis and Davis have shown in the preseason they have a tone of potential and I honestly I would give all 3 roster spots over Plax. Along with the veterans of Gaffney and Lloyd and Eddie Royal we have a nice core. Also Decker IMO will start and light it up. He in limited snaps has looked really, really good.
Starters to start the season:
Lloyd, Decker and Gaffney
Willis, Davis as backups until Eddie Royal and DT come off of the PUP list.

Vick always had "potential", but he couldn't win a game by himself because he had a horrible completion % and last year was his first solid year, whereas Plaxico helped lead the Giants to the SB win and his crime was close to a victimless crime, where Vick's was much worse

Yet Tank Johnson had nothing happen to him with even more firearms (some being illegal to own at the time). He is an idiotic headcase that served his time he was lucky he only shot himself because he was just as likely to shoot someone else. Personally I think presents a distraction that might be dangerous for the team. I cant say he doesnt have a chance to reform yet how many reformed criminals have a shot at millions
For those that say he didnt do anything wrong bringing a loaded weapon illegally into the club and pulled the trigger effectively endangering everyone in his proximity. What if you were there and the gun slipped at a different angle and shot a loved one of yours can you say he didnt do anything. He was lucky yet he what he did was extremely dangerous and idiotic. Heck it could have all been avoided if he holstered it, but then he may not have been able to get it into the club.
Vick was nasty? He couldn't complete a pass if his life depended on it. He was on a show called "Pros vs. Joes", and he got his ass kicked. Ten years ago, I would have paid anything to have him replace #87
Vick had success in Atlanta. While he wasn't the passer he is now, he always had that gamebreaking ability,
When I say 'nastiness', I'm talking about him having one of if not the strongest arm in the NFL, 4.3 speed, and the quickest delivery in the history of the NFL, he was and still is to this day the best QB prospect in the history of the NFL. He kind of put it together last year, and look what happened. Complete animal of an athlete,
Plaxico has never had any of that. Which is why I said it's going to be a lot harder on him then Vick, not to mention. Like I said, he's older then Vick,
Plaxico is an idiot, that said he is worth a shot, but chances are the demand will be high. I have a feeling he will not be at the same level he was to be a primary receiver yet a #2 or even #3 is definitely there. Sadly the price may not be right and we are not competitive enough to allure him. So like most top level FA's chances are we wont see him here.
