Would you pay for MHR?

With all of the hubbub and banter about the decline of print media, and the apparent rise of the premium site for broncos news, comment, and opinion, i wonder something.

via api.ning.com

Would I pay to get what I receive from MHR?

When I think about the depth of analysis, the range of views, the access to opinion, what i have on MHR is unparalled to almost any other information source on any topic, let alone football or Denver Broncos football.

One thing that jumps out to me that pushes MHR over the top is the depth and quality of interaction- some newspaper sites have a "comments" section, which many of you know becomes little more than an elementary school playground too closely resembling a night around an oakland raider fan's dinner table.

So would I pay, if necessary, for this content? and what if, by paying for content, we could fund a few press passes, maybe travel fees, for some of our writers/photographers to ask the burning questions smoldering throughout MHR of the coaches and players. It was great to read the first hand accounts from training camp- imagine that on a weekly basis during the regular season!

I was lucky enough to go to watch Denver play san fran, and it was a great time. the fans in SF are classy, candlestick aint bad, and it was a good way to kick off the mcdaniels era to see the boys live.

i had great seats so was able to get some good moments. enjoy.

Granted,

1. Orton was very disappointing, and looked unsure and unsettled all night. Simms looked far more confident all night.

2. secondary was playing a little soft, and didnt cause any turnovers.

3. ayers got burnt a few times in coverage.

still,

1. our o-line was solid, d line was stout, Chris baker was a force,

2. royal and hillis did not disappoint.

3. Kenny Mac is slippery, and the phonz has a great burst. special teams looks good.

4. larsen is ready to play.

finally, doom with the sack...

Leadership...

So i thought i would create a fan post, it is my first so bear with me.

According to Merc's write Mark Purdy, our Sharks captain must go.

the article waxes somewhat eloquently about presidents and other things, but the meat is here:

He has to be traded, even if he has a no-trade clause. Why would Marleau even want to come back? This was his fifth season as team captain and either his teammates are not following his quiet leadership or else the leadership is non-existent. There are no other possibilities.

harsh, and it pains me to say it, but i somewhat agree. i do not agree that he has to be traded per se, In fact, he is probably too valuable as a franchise kind of guy, loved by the community, all class, and notches some clutch goals. I just do not think the evidence is there for the guy to remain captain of this team. (see Captain brendan Morrow)

so who then?

some have suggested boyle, but i dont like the idea of a defenseman being captain. i want a guy who can muck it up in front of the opponents net and not lose the zone faceoff.

my vote, in the morrow like role, would be our own Ryan Clowe.

chime in.
