I was mad at Brandon Marshall until??? - The Orange Mane

Peoples Champ · 10-14-2008, 07:51 AM

I watched this. I was mad at him on Sunday for dropping a few passes and fumbling, but then I watched this. We are spoiled to have him. He makes so many plays that we expect him to do anything. The man is Human. I forgive him for his fumble and dropped pass on a late 3rd down conversion.

Watch this, he is best WR in leage IMO.

The best WR in the league needs to catch that 3rd down conversion when his team needs it desperately. Also needs to tuck the ball occassionally.

I do love him though, and I'll forgive him next week if he stops putting the ball on the ground.

tsiguy96 · 10-14-2008, 09:04 AM

i just bought his jersey, my only bronco jersey, because he is our only offensive gamechanger. fumbles are easy to fix, and i have no doubt he will.

Name one wide receiver that doesn't drop a pass, or fumble occasionally. (3 fumbles in 5 games IS too much though)

If you can find one (and you won't), ask yourself if you would rather have him instead of Marshall.

Br0nc0Buster · 10-14-2008, 09:10 AM

Marshall is great, I would not trade him for any other receiver at the moment.

With that said, he still can improve.

He needs to hang on to that ball better.

Him and Cutler need to go to a "ball security" seminar or something

Peoples Champ · 10-14-2008, 09:15 AM

he isnt perfect. I am sure he will work on it. Its safe to say it has been brought to his attention.

He's leading the league in first downs among receivers.

Don Flamenco · 10-14-2008, 11:00 AM

I was mad at hom until he didn't fumble he ball in the redzone

Smiling Assassin27 · 10-14-2008, 11:04 AM

Anyone got any stats on how many drops he has this year? It seems like he has more than a few. He will eventually learn what Rice, Tim Brown, Harrison, etc, had to learn--that there is a time to fight for extra yards or a bigger YAC and there is a time to lay down/stay down. He hasn't grasped that yet.

Los Broncos · 10-14-2008, 11:20 AM

We are lucky to have him, agreed.

Just don't run around with the pill not tucked in, thank you.

Peoples Champ · 10-14-2008, 11:28 AM

Call me old school, but I love the "fight for every inch" style. I love his drive

I don't know about him - by himself, but as a team, we are near the top in dropped passes. (per graphic during broadcast of game...to lazy to verify myself!)

Hold The Ball With Two Hands And Dont Run Backwards Please, You Dont Have Barry Sanders Speed...

Popps · 10-14-2008, 12:08 PM

Marshall is the perfect example of how in life, things aren't black and white. (Given, that's not popular on message boards but it's true.)

He's a great player with freaky talent who will occasionally make a silly play, mostly due to trying to make things happen. He's also young and has some growing to do.

His production is fantastic. The fumbling stuff needs to end, but I'm confident it will over time.

The kid needs to keep his nose clean, act like an adult and keep focusing on getting better. He can easily be the best WR in the league... easily. It's all up to him.

BroncoMan4ever · 10-14-2008, 12:19 PM

i love the way the guy plays and once the ball is in his hands i am always on the edge of my seat loving every second of him running and breaking tackles.
my only problem with that is, is that he runs with the ball in one hand just swinging away from his body where anyone can knock it away from him.

I know the team loves what he does once after he catches the ball, but don't you think they would try to tell him to tuck the damn ball between his pads and arm for some ball security

Florida_Bronco · 10-14-2008, 12:31 PM

He'll grow out of his fumbling/drops problem just like Rod Smith did.

It's not about whether he ever drops the ball. It is about whether he comes up with a very catchable ball on an absolutely crucial play. That's the kind of play that separates a very talented player with good stats from a great player. I think right now he is not quite to the great player level. Not saying he won't get there eventually.

mr007 · 10-14-2008, 12:35 PM

All I can say is amazing. The guy has sooo much potential and he just never gives up. +1 to him continuing to mature and stay out of trouble. I have never seen a WR make some of those plays, just ridiculous.

Crushaholic · 10-14-2008, 12:36 PM

What a coincidence. I was mad at Cutler for locking on Marshall on virtually every passing down, even when he was double covered. As for Marshall, drops happen.

chaz · 10-14-2008, 12:38 PM

I know these are PR jobs by the Broncos, but it doesn't take away from the work he is doing. I'm really happy for him and glad he's moving in the right direction.

and obviously his on the field talent speaks for itself. he's freakishly blessed and he works hard.

DB-Freak · 10-14-2008, 12:44 PM

He just loves the YAC.

CEH · 10-14-2008, 01:07 PM

He'll learn when to tuck it away and when to fight for yards but without is 20 yard YAC on our final TD drive I don't we sniff the end zone. Right now I want Brandon to be Brandon. There's a time for learning and a time for playing and right now I'd rather Brandon be Brandon than worry or think about fumbles.

He's about twice his size so I'm not surprised.
