My thoughts from a recovered "Broncos are going down the wrong path" guy....

First, I've said it earlier and I'll say it again.  I couldn't have been more wrong about McD, and I couldn't be happier for being so wrong.  More after the jump:

I think it is an absolutely terrible idea to trade Marshall and here is why:  We just let Cutler cry his way out of Denver just  a couple of short months ago.  I have read MSM articles on how Curtler has created the blueprint on how to get out of Denver.  Blueprint?  Really?  He simply said I want to be traded and didn't return Bronco executive phone calls.  Although for very different reasons (money), Marshall follows this "blueprint" and says he wants out of Denver.  I know he isn't (so far) cutting off communication with management.  A lot of posters are saying to BM, "fine, if you don't want to be here then go somewhere else".  Um, that is a bad way to look at this, in my opinion.  I am not going to debate his off field issues or his abilities on the field.  What is important is that he must stay.  He must stay because it cannot be this easy to get out of Denver.  I am sure there were times in every players mind when they wanted out of Denver, including Elway and everybody else.....well except Rod Smith.  They may have only wanted out for a month or so before they got over it, but they probably wanted out.  If we keep saying that if you don't want to play for the Broncos then we will make sure we accomodate you, then this will never end.  I don't care if we like BM or not.  I don't care if we sit him the whole year.  Just don't trade him!

OK.  So we spend most of our free agent signings on running backs and defensive backs.  I was assuming that McD didn't like any of the front 7 free agents that were available.  It seemed odd that we didn't find anybody that would be considered an upgrade.  It seemed the consensus here was that we would focus on the front 7 in the draft.  The draft comes along and we focus on running backs and defensive backs again.  I have never heard of such a strategy.  I am a bit skeptical of this.... can anybody help justify the strategy?
