Well, that's one way to keep him from running for a buck fifty on them.

Well considering he wasn't a part of the offense this year, I'd say he wouldn't offer up much.

And just what do you think we have changed, so much, in this years offense? Same coach and same coordinators. I'm interested in your answer.

That is exactly it. Shanny has been using pretty much the same scheme year in and year out. Dick4Meals should allready have a good idea on what is gonna be run. Q won't have anything new to add to it. But even if he did, I'm sure it is something the crybaby allready knows about.

About the only thing I see that Shanny will be doing differently, will be the multiple TE sets. I'm sure Shanny has some new stuff up his sleave.

Every team faces these questions when they cut players. But yeah Denver has an entrenched enough offense that its no big deal. The variations and change ups are important week to week. In the end, player execution matters the most.

Q doesn't really talk anyway, he might mumble out a few words but that won't be any help. They can have his fumbles too.

He would be a tremendous pickup for KC. His problem in Denver is that he had no ability to break tackles at or behind the line. So he was dropped for a loss or no gain way too often and had no ability to get an extra 2-3 years thru his own efforts. That was mostly an O Line problem. So last year, with our personnel, Droughns was a better runner.

KC has many problems; but it has a great O Line. I could put up serious yards behind that O Line. Q will be a scary runner in KC.

In other freaking news....

The NFL front office continues to suck off the colts and then begs for more. What an absolute joke.

If you can't run in Denver you're not going to be a superstar somewhere else.
I really don't see how Q would be given any touches there unless Holmes or Johnson was injured.

He would be third or fourth on their depth chart playing mostly special teams. But he would do wonders against KC in practice.

I would love to see us tackling him for a loss for a change, he may even cough it up a few times. Plus he has some ST experience so when The KNEE-FACTOR gets his knee cap wore out from kneeling on KO returns VERMIN-EEL can put Q back there.

I went to the SD game at D last year & never saw a worse running performance than that day, I knew he was done after getting less than 40 off a decent, not great, D. I love the power running game & glad Q is as Hawk says "HE GONE" (go White Sox!)

This is kind of funny. In my ESPN 2K5 game I traded Q to the Chiefs for Boerigter.

Not interested. We already have the best 1\2 RB punch in the game.

I was worried this would happen. We'll see if Saunders and Vermeil figure they can utilize Q's open-field ability.

Q reminds me of Dante Hall as a rookie. A midget RB with lots of speed.

As of right now, we don't have a 3rd RB. Might be an interesting signing if it happens.

LJ is going to get time and carries...he has been amazing in the preseason and was impressive last year as well. He is too good not to get time.

It makes no sense to bury Diaper Boy on the bench. He's shown he can play and he's making 1st round money, so benching him would be silly.

At worst he can be given enough reps to showcase him for a trade if he decides that he's not happy playing 2nd fiddle to Priest. Not sure what you'd get for him since the market for RB's looks to be pretty poor (unless you're trading with Washington ).

He is not being buried on the bench.
