most frustrating Bronco to watch play?

100 post rule.

George Foster sucked monkey balls. Make that elephant balls. I gave him the nickname "Swinging Door" and wish he would have taken in and ran with it. What a waste of a high pick by Shanny. Since Cutler has been more of a douche since his debut as a Bronco, I wonder how much he would rip into that slob now...and I would completely support Cutler doing so.

He's still a decent back and can make plays at times (see the 4th quarter drive he kept alive by making a defender miss).

SMFH. Save me the Lance Ball and Ronnie Hillman talk.

What good would that do?

I have yet to see evidence of this. He's soft, slow, unwilling to run downhill, and fumbles at inopportune times. I say you DO release him and call it addition by subtraction. Ball can do all KM can do (and does it regularly), so KM is really boobies on a bull--useless. He's just a guy. KM does everything but does nothing well. Those kinds of backs are a dime a dozen in the NFL, but they aren't difference makers. Hillman is a project, to be sure, but Ball is the second best back on this team, and that's rather sad. Oh, to have inked Mike Bush.

Let me guess...you're a fan of Lance Ball?

good call on Ashley, but i think part of what made him frustrating to watch was the fact that Plummer didn't have the arm strength to get the ball to him. he would have dropped it anyway. probably.

Griese. Directly responsible for ending the effective career of 50% of Denver Bronco NFL and Super Bowl MVPs.

The only evidence you need to see is that an NFL coaching staff is giving Moreno more snaps than ball.

Again, you don't get rid of a guy just because he underperforms relative to draft status.

I'm not saying Moreno is all world...he's definitely frustrating to watch at times. And I know it's popular to be bold for the sake of pointing out a particular disappointment with a player. But I can't take anyone who would rather have Ball over Moreno seriously. Sorry. We'll have to agree to disagree.

What are you talking about?

You're the one who condescendingly brought up the 100 post rule.

And now you want to retort with a passive aggressive comment because you don't agree with me?

You don't have to clear anything with anyone. But I think it's rather clear that the poll is intended to invoke the "Moreno sucks herpity derpity (breaths through mouth" hivemind.

I agree with you on Moreno (plus I don't want the $22 I spent last year on his jersey to go to waste ), but you have to come with a better argument than an appeal to authority. Fox and all other coaches are not infallible. They started Orton over Tebow last year...

[tsiguy96]

orton atleast had good games and good plays. has moreno ever shown that?

you're the one (with a membership just days old) who dismissed the poll as irrational and worthy of only "derp" responses.

it's a legit poll. you can't read my mind, so don't try (i have my tinfoil hat on right now). this poll was made because Knowshon reminded me of other Broncos who were equally frustrating to watch play. it's not a bash Knowshon poll. if you disagree with the options, then there is a choice called "other". enlighten me on who i omitted. instead, you chose to attack the poll's validity. that's why i brought up the 100 post rule, which CLEARLY applies to your contributions to this thread.

I thought a 100 post rule applied to starting threads. Not posting in them. Otherwise, how are you supposed to get to 100 posts?

Anywho. I chose Kyle Orton. Clearly more frustrating to watch than Moreno.

Despite claims of "dancing" and this and that...Moreno's career YPC is about on par for a running back.

"100 post rule" is a joke. it's mentioned when a newbie posts something easily dismissed as not worth arguing about, because it's a newbie who hasn't yet reached 100 posts. get it?

Dan Reeves has got to be the HC. for years, it was 3 quarters of "run the ball", "run the ball", "run the ball", "punt", then turn Elway loose in the 4th quarter.

http://articles.nydailynews.com/1997...giants-broncos

don't get me wrong, i respect what Reeves accomplished (along with Elway), but there's a reason Elway had so many 4th quarter comebacks and it wasn't because our opponents were better than use for 3 quarters.

While I agree with you that he was overly conservative and stodgy in his play calling, Reeves has got to be one of, if not the, most under-appreciated coach in the NFL.

Reeve's problem was similar to Shanny's problem in that he couldn't draft to save his life. Like Shanny, he had too much responsibilities and power and that leads to poor drafting. He wasn't in Shanny's league regarding x's & o's, but he could prepare a clearly talent voided team as well as anyone.

I think he had a good game against KC a few years ago.

He had a pair of TDs in the 59-14 game against the Raiders.

[KipCorrington25]

They all sucked but I picked Knowshow just because he's on the team now, who cares about the ones that are gone.

Not sure how you could have been frustrated by a QB that led us to 10-6 (playoffs), 10-6 (playoffs), 13-3 (AFCCG appearance), and 7-4 before being benched for a pouty malcontent douche, but then again you thought he was a roadblock and blamed him for team's failures.

Knowshon had a bad game...but then again who didn't besides McGahee and Bailey, and maybe one other?
