Ecstatic! Don’t get me wrong, Javon is an incredible talent, but he is a “me-first” player, and those guys are cancer in the locker room. Walker couldn’t handle the fact that Brandon Marshall was becoming Jay Cutler’s favorite target.

On a sidenote, to be fair to Javon, I think a parting from Denver was best for all parties after the death of Darrent Williams. I cannot imagine what that would be like, to have a teammate shot and die in your arms, and I don’t think Javon has ever recovered to this day. From that standpoint I hope Javon finds the peace he is looking for.

From a football standpoint, he now plays for the perfect team when it comes to selfish players who want the money, Oakland.

The fact that Al Davis actually paid this waste of a uniform $55 million dollars only sweatens the fact.

I certainly am!!! If I know Mike Shanahan, he is too! One thing that helps the Broncos is this situation is the fact that they played so well in Kansas City last season. The Broncos, and their fans, know very well that Arrowhead has not been kind to the Orange and Blue, even during Elway’s career.

I expect the Chiefs to play very well this weekend and the Broncos need to be ready. Each week is a new learning experience for Jay Cutler, and this week it is a road game that the Broncos are expected to win. Cutler hasn’t been expected to win many games in his football career, coming from Vanderbilt. It’s new, and certainly not as easy as playing the role of the underdog. If the Broncos take the Chiefs lightly it could be very costly, so I think Denver will come prepared to play.

I may be in the minority in thinking this but the New Orleans game definately exposed flaws in our defense and offense, so I think the team will be focused since Kansas City is a division game, we know that regardless of records, the Chiefs will come to play, and it is important to get a road win in division to put space between us and San Diego.

This sounds cocky, but I think he will. As long as he stays healthy and all that jazz. Marshall is Cutler’s favorite target and Marshall is big enough and talented enough to get open. The two are building a similar chemistry to what we saw from Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison. Cutler knows exactly where Marshall is at all times. The two left alot of yards on the field yesterday, between poor passes and a key drop.

I saw Marshall live during Training Camp when the Broncos were kind enough to let me on the field. No one can stop him, including Champ Bailey. He’s listed at 6-4, but he looks and plays much bigger. He’s a freak.

The funny thing is, Marshall, when asked before the season about his goals for the season he said 140 catches. That would put him 3 short, but I think I know what he was getting at.

For those reasons, I think Marshall, in 15 total games, will break the reception record.

Chiefs related question are on a thread at MHR…

Marshall shouldn’t miss any more time for any of that acts that are in the past. Even the latest story that popped up late last week was an old story from 6 months ago and one that the NFL was already aware of. Unlike Pac-Man or Tank Johnson or Chris Henry, Marshall crimes have more to do with poor judgment in his personal life than an infatuation with weapons or strip clubs. Marshall is a good guy, and with a strong supporting cast around him, starting with Rod Smith, Mike Shanahan and even Jay Cutler, I think Marshall’s transgressions are a thing of the past.

Can you at least back your statement up with a fact or an example? I think you belong on ESPN’s forum.

Chiefs wear red, Royals wera blue, Kings play in Sacromento, and you have no hockey team too.

You’re the one that wants to give John Elway your HIV.

Probably because we don’t think camoflauge should be worn to formal occasions

Well…you seem like the kind of guy that makes people feel pretty good about themselves!

I went to college in Colorado, where I obtained my masters in political science. I’m an associate editor over at MHR.

Colorado is a great blend of right and left. Water rights are a major issue, since much of the agricultural needs of surrounding states depend on Colorado’s water supply from mountain water. Colorado has a high military population, with everything from Ft. Carson to the Air Force Academy to NORAD being in place (as well as many military retirees). The state has interests ranging from environmental activists on one side, to hunters and ranchers on the other. Colorado also has several major colleges and universities to complicate the political landscape. Colorado Springs plays host to several major activist Chrisitan groups, including (most notably) Focus on the Family.

Colorado is really divided down the middle in terms of political outlook. Most political scientists seem to see Colorado as the battleground state for the ’08 national election.

As far as being smug goes, it comes with the 3-0 territory. It would be cool if you had the class that the other KC fans at this site show. I have a lot of respect for KC and the KC fans, but I guess every fanbase has a few losers.

QB’s named Elvis and Bono, any other rock stars you plan on putting behind center, I think Prince and Madona are free.

Yesterday you said on a different thread that you wished the Chiefs would “trade for Plummer”…and all you’re Chiefs friends called you an idiot because you don’t have to “trade” for someone who is retired? Me too…THAT was awesome!

Its time to trade for Plummer.

Why would we need to trade for a guy who’s retired?

have you seen my baseball?

You and Guru and others of SB Nation have made it fun for us amateurs (new to this blogging thing) a lot of fun.

Keep up the fun work. I’ll bow out as this is a time for your team to point questions at GURU.

No chance in hell. Cutler is our next Elway and will be the face of the franchise for the next decade.

As far as the D is concerned, the scheme is new, the D-Coordinator is new, at least 6 of the starters are new or playing in new positions, and the emphasis has been real heavy on the offense of late. The run defense is vastly improved over last year, in that it exists. However, the pass rush is still missing and it is letting good QBs rack up the yards. Against mediocre offenses, the defense should look OK, but against good offenses it will get burned big time. I think as the year goes on and the players and coach gel together, the defense will improve, but it needs an infusion of talent to become good. Nobody expects much from the defense until at least next year after a defense focused draft.

That the Broncos were horrible against the run last season so they are really selling out to stop it this year. So far, so good. I think Shanahan will deal with some inadequacies in pass defense right now if it means getting more possessions for his offense.

IMO-

Right now I would say Ryan Clady. He dosn’t get the attention Eddie Royal gets. After all wide recievers are glory boys, while O-linemen never get the credit they deserve. He hasn’t allowd a sack this year while he has played the likes of Mario Williams, Demarcus Ware, Anthony Burgess and the San Diego D.

To answer your second question I would have to say Dre Bly. He does not know how to tackle, and probably couldn’t cover my 2 year old. Next years draft will be focused on a Mike linebacker and our secondary guaranteed. Koutovides and Webster are not cutting it for Bronco Nation. Thats just my humble opinion.

Denver_Native is right on the money with Clady. If he played in NY or any of the other big markets you wouldn’t hear the end of it. Think Joe Thomas last year. Clady has been awesome thins season and gotten little, if any, national attention.

The interesting part about your second question is how many people I could have answered with a few months ago. Jason Elam, John Lynch are just a couple names I think of when talking about over-rated. Both were great players once, but not anymore, not in Denver at least. Of Course, neither is a Bronco anymore, so Bly is a nice selection as well.

1) Agree with Clady and I would throw Harris in there as well

2) Over-rated, I think Moss although I would agree with Bly

Coaches and quarterbacks get way too much credit when a team wins, too much blame for the losses. Shanahan is no different. That said, Shanahan the coach is brilliant. What he did last year with a team that was no better talent wise than the Chiefs, or Raiders, was amazing. The Broncos could have easily fell to 4-12 or 5-11 but they didn’t. Being a displaced Broncos fan, I think I have a greater appreciation for Shanahan than alot of fans in Denver proper, but 2008 has seen his stock rise again, as both a coach and a personnel guy.

Shanahan will be in Denver as long as HE wants to be.
