Eli from San Diego to New York, Luck from Miami/Indy to Denver?
-Elway was his hero
-Stanford ties
-Solid Line
-Won't have to sit behind anyone and could play right away
-Defense has holes but not far away.
A guy can dream can't he?
Tim Tebow Biggest Loser
Love or hate the guy guy you can't deny he is one hell-of-a human being, and very easy to root for. Here's to the Broncos and our future leader. :)
Moore takes flack from nobody!
Im a fan of Lloyd but an even bigger fan of Moore, I have to give it to the rookie, probowls and years spent i nthe NFL mean nothing to him, lovin' me some Moore lately.
Invesco to be changed to Sports Authority Field at Mile High
Im kind of feeling the Broncos new home being called Authority Field at Mile High! Better than Invesco.
Von Miller signs
Nice to see, now get in there and soak it up kid!
Broncos pursuing Jenkins
Hope we get him, especially with B.M'bane looking more like he's going somewhere else.
Nene opting out. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
After sticking with him through his cancer and several knee problems he has decided to go Melo on us. Not a lot of teams would have stuck with him this long but the Nuggets did. Bye Nene, thanks for the extra 10 million dollars on our salary.
The Front Is The Most Important
As an avid sports fan, i can honestly say,that i cannot find a better site for sports.

Saftey Position
B-Dawk is not gettting any younger.

Adnrew Luck Staying in school
Can't Find it yet but ESPN has just reported Andrew luck will be staying in school.
All aboard the Tim Tebow train!
Elway, Coaches, and Tebow
With McDaniels gone who is the next coach to take this team back to glory.
I'm pleading with the Broncos Brass to hire a General Manager first and foremost.
Follow me after the jump to see which coaches makes most sense to me and why.
Can someone help me?
Ok lets face it people outside of people on MHR who do you know that really knows their Bronco football.
My family like so many others are avid Bronco fans but if they miss a game its not the end of the world, but if I/we miss a game, that is NOT OK.
Now with that all being said i'm looking for people or a great hangout place to talk Broncos.
Text buds,IMing, bars, chat sites. I understand MHR offers a lot and it has become my daily/hourly site i check.
I'm just looking to talk Broncos 24/7, maybe I'm just selfish but my family can't hang. Can anyone help?

We talkin bout' pass rush?
Over the last season we've been lucky to have be witness to Doom vicious swim moves and long sticky hands getting to the quarterback to rack up a marvelous season full of sacks.
We all know he's out till November next season.
Now, as a life long Broncos fan I of course see them going 16-0 every year, but being realistic i don't think anyone thinks we can replace as many sacks as Elvis produced last year. All this being said, i think we have a great opportunity with the guys in house. Jump with me and lets learn who they are, what they can offer, and maybe some things they can work on.

Bout time
I finally got the text from NFL Mobile Live that the Broncos have interst in Kevin Mawae, bout time someone confirms this and we jump on the guy. Great upgrade from Weigman! Bigger which is what McX want on this line this year. I would love to have THAT kinda leadership on the line. New England way, pick up old probowlers who have a couple good years left and than draft youngsters at that position to train under the Pro. Hope we sign the man.
Where do we look now?
Call me optimistic but i think we're set on quarterback for the next 5 or so years. Orton will get his year. As will Quinn. As will Brandstater if Quinn doesn't pan out and there is even a rumor the Broncos are working out Tony Pike.
D-Line is set for the next couple years.
Wideouts (Other than BM) Are a diamond dozen
Running backs are a lil more special but still can be found in FA or draft. Knowshon has tons of upside.
O-Line can be found ANYWHERE!
So who are the biggets names out there that the Broncos are looking at now?
I'm looking to see if anyone has heard anything on Rotoworld or ANYTHING that points us Bronco fans in the same direction as to what McD is looking at these days.
I want Eric Berry, will he be there? Probably not
I want McClain, will he be there, Probably!
I want Dan Williams, will he be there, i don't know?
I want Mawae, can we get him, probably!
I want some LB help, anyone worth looking at in FA?
Can we get a legitimate Runningback to coach Moreno up? Westbrook?
Anyone???
Ok now what?
As a man I, WE do not like to admit when we're wrong or we don't know whats going on but now...WTF is happening???
What i DO know:
We now have two starting caliber quarterbacks who both know the New England system.
Last year we took a running back as our first pick because he was Quote "best player available"
Biggest need is the O-Line
What i DO NOT know:
Who we are going to draft.
Who the best player available is going to be at 11.
I hate to say/ask this but...
But can someone PLEASE tell me who we are going to Draft?!
Dez Bryant-Too many problems and not proven, might as well keep B-Marsh if we're thinkin Receiver
Dan Williams-JWilliams, Bannan, Baker, Smith, thats alot of compitition for a 1st Rounder
Rolando McClain-Found out he has Crohns Disease, which causes him to take plays off
Pouncey/Iupati- Do we really take an O-Lineman this early? Ryan Clady was the exception.
Anyone???
Brady Quinn vs Kyle Orton
Ok so i think by now we all know that Brady Quinn is now a Denver Bronco.
I have a couple thouhts on the guy and what he means to our beloved Broncos.
Brady Quinn Pro:
He knows the system, Mangini/Weis. The guy is used to competing for a starting job. He is mobile. He's accurate. And he's smart.He's sat on the bench for a long time studying the playbook. Never had great receivers or a line to work with so thats an upside.
Brady Quinn Con:
He has never had a winning season. He may not have the strongest arm but neither does Orton.
Kyle Orton Good:
He's under the same system for his 2nd year he's a team player, great leadership. Good game manager. Tall. winning record as a pro.
Kyle Orton Bad:
8-8 as a Bronco game manager ( yes i know i said it above)
All in all i honestly believe other than Cassel Brady was the only other guy to give Orton a run for his money as a starter.
8-8 season (good and bad)
Going Forward
Great to be here everyone, i'm new to the site, I've always read it but this is the first and hopefully not the last. I, like everyone on this site bleed orange and blue and was here when they we winning back to back and will be here if they are 0-16.
I wanted to give a couple opinions and points of view and see how you feel about them and see what you say.
OFFENSE
Quarterback:
Orton will (like it or not) be our quarterback for the next year and a half. He IS accurate and is a great leader and team player. Mike Shanny used to say that it takes a full 3 years for a quarterback to get into his prime in a system. I am not a Orton lover nor am i a Orton hater. He did relativelywell in what some would say is the hardest system in the league to learn. I'm interested to see him in his second year. He's not going to win us a game but he's not going to lose us a game.
Tom Brandstater: I honestly believe in the guy. McD has said they have high hopes for him. Since this is the Denver Patriots, (draft a tall smart Quarterback late and sit em' for years. I expect Tom to sit another year and slowly work and compete for either a solid 2nd stringer or possibly a starter.
3rd string: Simms needs to go. I believe we will look at a tall smart quarterback in the draft. I would love to snatch up McCoy. He's not tall but extremely smart and accurate.
Draft:
Running Back:
Knowshon: Showed glimpses of special talent last year, he moves like LT but does not have the smarts YET. He was backing up Buck, and this year i see the 2 switching roles. Knowshon will have around 800 yards this coming season.
Buck: Showed he can be a huge yards gainer when it counts. But I didn't see him be as consistant as we would've liked down the stretch of the season.
Arrington: I see him as a guy who can get in the end zone. But when he's not in the red zone i gotta believe the touches will go to Buck and Knowshon.
Hillis: Finally our favorite Bronco, i really think McD sees what he has in him and is why he let Jordan go. I see Hillis staying here and not going to Washington like i keep hearing.
Larson: I see him moving to JUST a Linebacker.
Draft: I like LeGarett Blount, he would've been a 1st rounder had he not blind sided a guy.
Offensive Line:
Clady is here and set for the nect 8 years.
Harris is tiny bit undersized for McD's new running system, so i look for him to add 15 or so lbs.
I see the rest of the tackles as a huge need. Hadnot would've been nice.
Hochstien i believe will be a starter.
Olsen as well.
I don't trust Polumbus
Draft: Lupati or Pouncey (1st or 2nd Round) as well as depth in the later rounds.
Receivers:
Marshall: 2nd best Wide Out in the league after Andre Johnson. I DO NOT see Seattle giving up their 6th pick for Brandon, and the Broncos will not except the 14th. So Brandon will be back next year.
Royal: I expect him to take Stokely's touches in the slot, I don't expect him to be returning punts and or kickoffs as much as last year. New Wes Welker anyone?
Gaffney: Kinda reminds me of that one guy that used to be here #80, i forget his name...Ha ha Just like Rod, he's smart with great hands and a great work ethic.
Lloyd: I love tall receivers with great hands, especially when they climb the ladder to get the ball against Corners. Hopefully we get to see more of him, especially since we just signed him to an extension.
McKinley: I think i spelled it wrong which goes to show how much he contributed, maybe he can take over the kick returns.
Draft: Late rounds will be spent here.
Tight Ends:
Daniel Graham: has the best job security on the team. Solid player and catcher and great blocker. Ties to New England, Denver, and CU haha.
Tony Scheffer: Sadly doesn't fit the system, a lil too small I think Chicago and or Washington looks at him for a 3rd or 4th rounder.
Quinn: Ehhthe guy hasn't shown me too much but will get more time with the loss of Scheffler
DEFENSE
Defensive Line
Nose Tackles:
Jamal Williams: is this year's Brian Dawkins, some leadership, team player, hard worker, something to prove, it also doesn't hurt that the man has 3 All Pro Years. If anything he helps our Linebackers get into the backfield. I don't see him loosing a step. I loved this pick up in free agency.
Justin Bannan: Is a small step down from Jamal but with the two of them rotating in and out it should keep both big boys fresh for the 2nd half of the season.
Ronald Fields: Lost a little bit of his standings when Nolan left but a solid back up and interesting to see if they rotate him in and off the line.
Chris Baker: I like him and i see him jumping in when Fields wears out his welcome.
Draft: No need to look at this position until maybe the 3rd round.
Defensive Ends:
Vonnie Holliday: I loved what he brought to the team last year. He came through when we needed someone to get chased out of the pocket and or we needed a fumble/sack. Big play maker. Very under-rated, i DO believe he will look at other teams now that we have Green.
Doom: Not much to say here. See last years film. I just hope we give him the contract he deserves.
Jarvis Green: A good compliment to Doom. I just hope he can be consistant.
McBean: See Chris Baker
Smith: See McBean
Linebackers:
DJ Williams: I can't wait to see him in the same spot twice in the same year under the same system. It hasn't happened yet, and we already know what he can do. Very excited out him.
Haggan: I'de be happy if he stayed on special teams, wasn't too impressed.
Reid: See Haggan.
Woodyard: Fast, always seems to be where the ball is. And he will get Davis' spot.
Ayers: He really needs to step it up. We need to pay Elvis so he can couch em' up. Ayers has all the potential to be a poor man's Doom.
Draft: I hear that McClain has Crohns Disease so maybe we can get him later? Also i would love to pick up Spikes from Florida in the 2nd.
Cornerbacks:
Champ: Hall of famer, wish we would've kept Jack Williams, he reminded me alot of Champ. If there is one person to teach Alphonso Smith the ropes its champ.
Goodman: A HUGE step up from Dre "im always getting burned" Bly. Nice Compliment to Champ
Fanso Smith: The first game against the Bengals he held his own against Henry. Ty Law took his minutes, so i see him gettin a bigger role next year.
Carter: A late addition, but a nice one.
Draft: A Corner in the 4th
Safeties:
Dawkins: We haven't had this much talent since Atwater, yes that means Lynch too. Lynch was Smart but not as fast. Alot of peoples favorite player, and for a great reason, just hope he can pass ithe smarts and nastiness on to the youngsters.
Hill: A great compliment to Dawkins, the less we here about the Safeties the better, BUT when we did hear about them he was definately in the conversation. Quiet but a great leader.
McBath: I see him taking the steering wheel after Dawkins. I like this kid.
Bruton: A solid backup but a huge playmaker on special teams. I like him.
Fox: Excited to see him McBath and Bruton duke it out for the back up.
Draft: Not a need
SPECIAL TEAMS
Prater: Solid last year i expected worse. Hope he can build on last years success.
Colquitt/Trapasso: ANYTHING is better that Berger. He was awful.
All in all i believe we have a solid DL, LBs, and DBs. Running back need to be more consistant. It will be interesting to see a new running style in Denver. The Offensive line is a concern of mine. We're supposedly wanting to add around 100 lbs to the line so that should be interesting. Marshall im pretty sure he stays, if not maybe pick up Golden Tate. I do not see us picking up Dez Bryant because he is a poor mans Marshall, on and off the field. Why trade away a proven player for a player not proven with the same off the field issues.
All in all i see us going 9-7 at best. Maybe good enough for a wild-card. God i hope I'm wrong about that.
Hope you liked my views if not let me know how i can improve. Thanks!
