This Weekend's Talk
Cutler and McDaniels at impasse..
Denver fans are probably asking, "how did it ever get to this?" Yes this has become the common slogan amongst Bronco fans and unfortunately there is no simple answer. From all accounts it becomes difficult to pinpoint where this started or who is at fault, but the simple fact to consider had Shanahan been here all along we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Mickey-D has to remember this is his first go, there will be growing pains and he may make mistakes. Maybe Jay could do a little growing up here, but it appears that the team needs to make amends, rebuild the trust, and get this ship heading back in the right direction.
It's not about swallowing pride or simply admitting you were wrong, it's realizing the big picture. Since free agency began, with the exception of this major blunder McDaniels seems to have been making strong moves and appears to be rebuilding a defense that should not have trouble improving from their 29th overall ranking in 2008.

The offense was ranked 2nd overall a year ago and the kid with the Elway-like arm was a big part. He's considered one of the best up and coming talents and he's already putting up the numbers. You have to like your chances with Cutler, so why wouldn't you do what is needed to put this thing back together?
All signs are pointing to these two, Cutler and Mickey not being able to reconcile, so Bronco fans will just have to wait and see where this goes. Would Pat Bowlen actually let his new head coach trade away his 2006 first round (11th overall) draft selection? Hey, the Packers traded Favre, so I guess anything is possible.
THIS WEEK'S "KNUCKLEHEADS."
That's turruble...
So what else can you say about these guys?
In case someone failed to mention this, but if you get caught with Cocaine and you are given a second chance you had better walk a straight line, keep your nose clean (literally), and not mess-up. It appears the Jaguar's former wide receiver (just released) Matt Jones missed that memo. I know it was innocent enough, playing golf and having a few drinks, but come on buddy you're on probation. You can't afford to not take this serious and now look at where you are at. Knucklehead.

I can't say this enough. You were just hired as the head coach of one of the leagues most storied franchises, like a kid being given the keys to his dad's Porsche, you decide you want to fiddle around with the engine. The car runs like a kitten, maybe it (your offense) could use some new tires, but why not just focus on a new paint job (the defense) that is well overdue? But NO, you have to poke around under the hood, now the engine is making a funny noise and rather than admitting you messed it up, here we are with the franchise in turmoil and no one willing to budge. Nice going Josh (Mickey-D) McDaniels. Big Knucklehead.

Let's not forget...
Now this didn't happen last week, but it did happen recently and I did not want to forget to give credit where credit is due. The Bronco's 4th year receiver has managed to get himself into deep water once again. Last season Brandon Marshall averted severe punishment and only had to serve a one game suspension, but with a caveat. He could not mess up again. Another guy that just didn't get the memo or didn't read it. Marshall was arrested for the 4th time in the last two years and word is he faces the possibility of an eight game suspension. Another knucklehead.
