Why did he not keep it in house with Scheffler the same way he did with Hillis and Marshall initially?
    Honestly? I think he wanted Marshall to explode by putting him on the practice squad as a Safety and gunner. Intentionally trying to embarrass him bfore his teammates. As if he was pushing to make a point, and to get a reaction.

    Fair enough.

    Do I think he is doing everything wrong? No. Do I like all of his moves? No (especially the Nolan move (another conflict by the way)).

    Do I want the guy to succeed? Of course! It would be a F-ton of crow to eat but I am not too proud to do it. Shoot you can film it and put it on youtube.

    Guess he did IF that was what he was looking to do.

    Just maybe he was trying to get his attention. Kind a like setting in the corner on a stool with a dunce hat on.

    I'm a guy.

    And I wasn't wrong. They worked just fine together in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008. They never fueded for a "large part" of any season. What you claimed to be true was inaccurate. You even said yourself you thought it was 6 weeks. I knew it was 3.

    Even using your train of thought that coaches and players only interact for 16 weeks out of every season, thats only 19% - hardly a "large part". The fact that Brady worked well with McDaniels for 3+ years after and still speaks highly of him should tell you all you need to know about how serious that "fued" was.

    Besides, it was 5 years ago. It didn't detract from the Patriots breaking several NFL records with McDaniels calling plays and it will hardly detract from the way the 2010 Broncos play. If McDaniels fails in Denver rest assured the 2005 season will have ZERO (or a "large part" as you would put it) impact on his performance here.

    No other rookie running back ran for more yards than Moreno. No spin is going to change it.

    Of course it is I suppose Alfred Williams, Neil Smith, Mike Klis and others are wrong. They have all discussed the same shortcomings of Ayers.
    Mike Klis usually is wrong. He's a sportswriter, and a poor one at that. I have no idea what Smith and Alfred Williams said about Ayers.

    Hold the phone. Aren't you the one saying we spectators in the peanut gallery dont know the play calls, the assignments, etc...? Now all of a sudden you know everything about a play?
    So now being able to see who collapsed the pocket is the same as knowing play calls and assignments?

    Right.

    Based on what?
    Besides my own analysis? Well we could go with the fact that at almost 40 years old people keep signing the guy to play football for them and as recently as a couple years ago was still a serviceable #2.

    Where was he at the Philly and KC games last year?
    You must have missed that interception he had in the Kansas City game. Came with a 30 or 40 yard return IIRC and damn near scored a touchdown.

    Downright DENIAL at its best! Alphonso Smurf is a 1st rounder for all intents and purposes. We gave up a first to draft him. The cost was a first. He and the coach better hope he performs like a first.
    So you accuse me of denial and then admit that he wasn't a first round pick.

    You just keep getting better and better at this debate thing.

    Well when the coach in his post draft media explains that Quinn is a monster blocker and will see "significant" playing time even as a rookie, I think it is only fair we hold him to it. He set the expectations.
    I don't recall him saying that about Quinn, but I'll take your word for it. In that case, shit happens and things don't always work out like you plan. Welcome to the NFL.

    I was looking at the bigger picture before anybody else. I pointed out Moreno's woes when this team was 5-0. I was FLAMED to holy hell for it. I pointed out when this team was 6-2 they would be lucky to make the playoffs. I could see the seeds of destruction.
    Have no idea. I wasn't here then.

    This team has lost 8-10 and that trend will easily continue into next season.
    Oh that's a fact?

    http://www.usatoday.com/sports/footb...timeline_N.htm

    Again you have PISS POOR FACTS!

    Damn you make owning you too easy!


    I see I'm going to have to draw this one out in crayon for you. Courtesy of your own link...

    • Feb. 26: Cutler's name surfaces in trade talks that could have resulted in former Patriots QB Matt Cassel being dealt to Denver. Cassel is dealt to the Kansas City Chiefs two days later.

    • Feb. 28: Matt Cassel is traded, Jay Cutler goes public.

    • April 2: The Broncos deal Cutler and a fifth-round pick to Chicago for two first-round draft picks, a third-rounder and QB Kyle Orton.

    Now unless you're going to tell me that April comes before February, my post is factually correct and it's YOU that needs to fact check...again.

    PS: Another J McDaniels lie is in there. See the note for March 3rd: "We are not trading Jay Cutler-period."
    Easy to discredit. Pat Bowlen himself admitted that he made the decision to trade Cutler. See the video below.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvBMp1pi8TY

    Oh, and if you want to see a bold faced lie, try this.

    • March 16:The Broncos acknowledge that Cutler asked the team to trade him.

    • March 31: The Broncos announce they will try to trade Cutler after Cook told the team he no longer wants to play in Denver.

    • April 1: Cutler tells Fox Sports that he didn't want the rift to get this far. "I didn't want to get traded," Cutler said.

    The Boston Globe has no connections to the Broncos? They are connected to Denver East Patriots.
    And they've never been terribly accurate themselves. Like most Boston media they are pretty much shut out of the Patriots organization.

    This team is entirely different than when Schefter was the beat writer.
    True, but there are still plenty of holdovers in the organization, including Bowlen, Xanders and Ellis, all of which seem to hold Schefter in high regard.

    By the way, how can it be the Denver Post has never been credible when it comes to the Broncos but they employed Schefter? LOL. You have some goofy assed logic.
    Schefter hasn't been with the Post for 5-6 years now, and besides, he's just one piece of that puzzle. Not a hard concept a grasp.

    Do us a favor and provide one link to Schefter or King stating the three team scenario was bull crap!
    Pay attention. I posted in the same damn post you quoted. Here it is again, since you missed it the first time.

    While New England and Kansas City were agreeing to Saturday’s trade of Cassel to the Chiefs for the draft’s 34th overall pick, there were more teams in the mix. Detroit, Tampa and Denver were involved in trade talks of their own also tied to Cassel, according to sources in the respective NFL cities.

    Tampa approached Denver to try to make a three-way trade that would have sent Cassel to the Broncos and quarterback Jay Cutler to the Buccaneers. The Broncos entertained the notion and pondered it but ultimately decided against it.


    Also, the Lions approached the Broncos about a trade for Cutler, trying to dangle Cassel as bait. Once again, Denver debated the deal and opted against it apparently. What made it a moot point was that while all Tampa, Detroit and Denver engaged in trade talks with New England, the Patriots went ahead and dealt Cassel to the Chiefs.
    http://blogs.nfl.com/2009/02/28/cutl...oit-tampa-bay/

    Funny you haven't used them or cited them.
    Once again, you ignore the facts I posted right under the part you quoted. At this point I can't tell if you're just being a PITA and doing it on purpose, but let's knock it off. Again, since you missed it the first time.

    Hillis’s SIGMA test results raise several concerns. The approach he took to learning and preparation in college produced a personal belief that he was not able to consistently execute his responsibilities in games. There are strong indications that he needs to take more personal responsibility for learning what he needs to know. His coaches should make him execute, again and again, his responsibilities in game-like time constraints. During the off-season, pre-season, and practice, he will sometimes give less than his best effort and will let up when he sees an opportunity to do so. As a result, Hillis has not always been able to meet the challenges placed in front of him by his coaches. There were times when Hillis thought he came up short of meeting his own and his coaches’ expectations. He will be concerned about the kind of system he may be placed in and whether he can be successful and meet everyone’s requirements and demands. Hillis will tend to worry that he is not as prepared as he should be going into games. This self-doubt does not speak well for his chances of advancing and mastering his position requirements at the next level. Hillis is usually content to rely heavily on his natural abilities to get by and believes that his past coaches have had little impact on his performance. He thinks that he knows best and is less likely to listen to coaches’ advice and instructions and instead will try to play the game his own way. When things are not going well for him, Hillis will be openly critical and question his coaches and his teammates.
    Right because people who are around the team on a daily basis from training camp on speculate. Try journalism 101 and get back to me.
    Have you seen some of the people who report on training camp? People like Bill Williamson sit under a damn tent all day, out of the view of the the practice field and then write stories about it that night. Do I even need to mention Josina Anderson. If you don't believe there is alot of speculation going on in the sports media world, I don't know what to tell you. There is a reason that guys like Schefter and King are so well sought after.

    There was play after play of Moreno not knowing which defender was his responsibility.
    It wasn't "play after play". It happened, but nothing out of the norm for a rookie.

    Check your quote. You called Hillis a world class douche. Stay classy, bro.
    So now you're going to tell me who I was talking about?

    Here is the original quote on the matter.

    Again, distortions. Hillis was given every chance to produce. He played himself out of a job. Scheffler started more games than he ever had in his career and caught a whopping 9 less passes than in 2009. He was sent packing mainly for being a world class douche, and to a lesser extent, a poor blocker.
    Except we had players go down and he was called on at times as the primary guy despite Hillis being a better option.
    Umm, no. Lamont Jordan carried the ball 7 times in week 2 (Cleveland) and 6 times in week 3. Moreno and Buckhalter were both healthy in those games and LaMont was only brought in late in the game when victory was secure. From week 10 until week 14 he never touched the ball and then had 5 carries in the loss to the Raiders. At no time was he the primary guy.

    By the way, that developmental player's name is JJ Arrington
    I'm well aware, but thanks anyway.

    “When we do find that guy, we’ve got to have the continuity on the offensive side to where we can train him and develop him and get him there. This is our fourth offense in probably three or four years. Quarterbacks need to be developed. You don’t find one ready-made. We got to have a solid system in place for when we do go after whatever guy it may be, a young guy or a trade or whatnot.”

    You pretend as though no matter what McDaniels does that appears to be ridiculously bad for the team we simply "cannot know" unless we are psychic, what the future holds. When I go to youtube and see a guy climbing a tree with a watermelon in one hand and a butcher knife in the other I do not need to utilize otherworldly powers to deduce something horrible, yet incredibly funny, is going to happen to the guys crotch. Application of logic and knowledge of past events can be extrapolated forward to predict what's going to happen fairly well. Some moves and events can't give a clear idea of what's going to happen, raping a young, talented offense is assuredly not an equivocal act. Going into the very beginning of last year our offensive line was being touted by all experts as being great moving towards historic because they had only been together for two years and had tremendous talent all across the board. Replace a quick acting and quick footed quarterback with a dimwit that has lead feet and takes a dive faster than Michael Phelps after he hears a starters pistol and change from very effective zone blocking to whatever the hell it is McDaniels does and you suuddenly have a crap offensive line.

    I also don't need to be surprised that we are Not getting good value out of great players. McDaniels has the recipe down pretty good, denigrate your players during press conferences and explain how expendable they are, try to trade them, act surprised you don't get much in return or, as is the case on this board, pretend the player isn't very good and use the low trade value as an example.

    Gaffney, McDaniels Lackey/ass kisser, is going to be the starter this year and make all of our "big-plays" when he wouldn't have been able to be third string receiver on our team year before last... and shouldn't have been able to crack above that last year either. If you think teams crowded within 15 yards of the line of scrimmage last year because they didn't fear the deep threat (Entirely playcalling) wait until you see what happens without Scheffler and Marshall, holy crap opposing defenses are going to be able to use their goal line formation and still be in position to tackle receivers. Just the way McDaniels had it planned I assume. Sorry, I hate the guy, I hate everything he stands for, I hate that he is a liar and in charge of the team that usually brings me joy, I hate that he got rid of players I rooted for, I hate that Darth Vader is now the guy I have to pull for or else I'm not a good fan.

    I'm having a hard time drawing an equivalent between the season and a tree-climber's crotch.

    And McDaniels is Darth Vader?

    Oh well, enjoyed the word play, if nothing else . . .

Can you maybe leave the rest of us in peace for a couple of years while this guy does his thing? Im asking nicely.

    I'm trying to say that stupid actions usually result in stupid consequences. Watermelon and butcher knife are equivalent to cutting your entire offense and other crazy moves. And McDaniels really isn't Darth Vader because Darth Vader gave in to the dark side whereas I believe McDaniels generates the dark side so I guess the more appropriate equivalent would be the Emperor. Or maybe Belichick is the Emperor... I don't know. All I know for certain is Quentin Griffin is Yoda.

    The fact is you offered a one word reply of wrong in response to my post that McDaniels had a conflict with Brady. All the other superfluous details don't matter. The attempted point was McDaniels didn't have any of these conflicts prior to Denver. I only needed one conflict to prove that wrong and that is precisely what I provided.

    Brady has class. I highly doubt he would add fuel to the fire after the fact.

    Aside from the fact that CONFLICT seems to be the one major characteristic of McDaniels tenure here and there was a prior incident that could be pointed to, albeit after the fact, as the "writing on the wall."

    This "conflict" issue is pure fabrication, a figment of a wild imagination, a crock
    of feces. Cutler never had a personal problem with McDaniels. He became
    upset over the possibility he would be traded . . . an ego problem of Cutler's.

    Marshall went out of his way, from Miami, to categorically state that he had
    no personal problems with McDaniels.

    Nolan had no personal problem with McDaniels. It was very clearly emphasized
    that their differences were philosophical. They both claimed they parted
    amicably, and there is no reason to doubt that whatsoever.

    In his presser, McDaniels recounted some of the superstars he has dealt with,
    including the volatile Randy Moss, Welker, Brady, Champ, Dawkins, etc.,etc.
    without a hitch.

    Those who claim he has had personality problems seem the same people who
    have excoriated him over everything from his play-calling, drafting, and
    personnel decisions to the way he smacks his lips and which direction he looks
    in his interviews and pressers.

    Gets old . . .

    I think Klis is an excellent beat writer and very rarely speculates on anything that he can't back up. I guess I'd be interested in seeing a couple examples of him being flat out wrong.
