I say why not, depending on the price.

Breck Bronc · 02-04-2006, 05:37 PM

I'd love to see what Edge could do in our system and not the soft system the Colts employ.

That said, Edge is looking at possibly his one big chance to cash in as a free agent and I don't think we are in a spot where we need to pay huge dollars for a running back. I expect to see James in Arizona.

Then what would become of JJ Arrington? Services no longer required in Arizona? How would he do with a very good O-Line?

Arrington would be a fine backup for Edge. He didn't exactly look like an every down back last season.

backup qb · 02-04-2006, 06:55 PM

Is Edge really 27? I thought he was 30-age when rb's start declining. Hmmm, he probably runs the stretch play as well as anyone in the game. That said, we won't be able to afford him.

~Crash~ · 02-04-2006, 07:00 PM

3yards and a cloud of dust....nope dont want him

ludo21 · 02-04-2006, 07:02 PM

That's just a stupid post.

12th man · 02-04-2006, 08:02 PM

If we could afford him I would take him anyday over ricky williams. but I don't think we have the $

DrFate · 02-04-2006, 08:19 PM

Too much money

WAY too much money

i had him on my fantasy team for about 3 weeks this year so i followed him thru the year. he scored a few times, but to me hes a below average back who they say has work ethic problems. i donnno if its just arizona or what, but i think he could still be a servicable 3rd down back in this league becuase of his age.

as for edge, if hes cheap i say y not.... that being said theres no way we afford him.

When you compare stats. You can't tell the two apart. At least yards and carries stats. James however has a great stat for a NFL running back. First Downs. When he's healthy, had the ACL back in 01, he is/was the Colts first down getter.

Now both had long runs of 30 something. Not homerun hits. James a 4.2 avg and RW was around 4.4. James had 13 scores. While RW had 6. But RW was sharing carries and coming back from the vacation of 2004.

I feel both could fit in well in the Broncos system. Both have a solid grasp of catching passes. I'd have to say that RW has more pop in his legs.

Dollars wise? Let's face it Ricky has a bad deal. He needs cash. If given a laden incentive deal the guy would run until his tongue was hanging.

Edge has been consitent over his career. He may not come cheap.

I still feel that Ahman Green and Jamal Lewis are wild cards out there in free agency.

If Green can come back from the ACL, which is a two year deal mostly, he could be a bargain price. Just we want/need a impact runner this year 06, not 07.

watermock · 02-04-2006, 11:50 PM

We rushed combined for over 2k. Who wouldn't like Edge, but he's a high miler, he might be 27 but will probably be 28 season start and has been worked like a mule all the way back to Miami... and will probably get around 12 million SB...we have cap problems...it's going to be hard enough to keep our existing team.

We we are really that far over the cap Pryce is history....RB is the least of our problems. We need a speed rusher, a veteran WR and some future line help. DW getting a groin tear really hurt us. Big Ben just tore Foxy to pieces and DW probably shouldn't of been out there with that reinjured groin.

Trying not to sound like a Chef fan, but we had a pretty good year...it's just too bad our 9/11 happened on AFC Hunt Trophy day. To have it all fall into our laps and then lay an egg...but Pitt is a fine team...they lost 3 in a row when Big Ben had knee issues.

It's just so hard to get home field in a Championship game....some players, many players will never play in one, yet alone a SB...at any rate....Edge will cost to much. Bell should have a little more upside and Dayne will be more comfortable...Cobbs is here and so is my son, Sapp...we can get a RB we like cheap that has low miles. I'm tellin' ya, Edge has 120,000 miles on those legs...he never really recovered his explosiveness after the ACL either.

IMO, he is now a VERY GOOD, but not GREAT back. He had to change his running style after the ACL. Let's just get a kid with fresh legs on the cheap in the draft.

I still can't believe they caught MoC with a small bottle of Grey Goose on the field...talk about a ticket out of town. I still say it was worth the risk, but it was obviously a mistake...It's just that when you watch that freshman tape of his, you salivated, but he had obvious substance abuse issues and conditioning problems. i.e. Lazy Fatass

watermock · 02-04-2006, 11:57 PM

He may not come cheap? Why do you think Indy is showing him the door? Anyone can see he's not the back he was before the ACL.

Some clown like Snyder will cough up money from god knows where...I think resigning Warren is a bigger issue.

Great point Mock.

OrangeShadow · 02-05-2006, 05:55 AM

we dont have cap issues,any figures you see are bloated because of deals that will void or players being cut/restrucured.
that being said hed still cost to much

elsid13 · 02-05-2006, 07:19 AM

What people forgot if we bring in RB it going to take some time from to learn the offense and offense line. What happen when he struggles?

you're right. before the injury he was a homerun threat. now he's more patient, consistent, and powerful. he's just as good, but in a different way

It's bad enough to talk about TO and Ricky, but if Jamal Lewis ever put on the Orange & Blue, I swear to God, I'd burn every piece of Bronco gear in my house.
