BMarsh on NFLN from Super Bowl: "I would love to be a Denver Bronco"

[montrose]

Highlights:

* Gaffney filled in great against KC, didn't miss me at all.

* Team lost down the stretch and that brought frusturation. Thinks the entire organization including himself should've handled things differently but that's all in the past now.

* Last time Coach called was to congratulate on the Pro Bowl. It was nice to hear his voice.

* Tough to leave the team that drafted you, it is a business though.

* Would love to be a Denver Bronco moving forward.

* CBA effects he and many other players drafted in the '06 class, it's the business side of things.

I heard when Sapp forced him to say it. You could tell he was full of **** when it was said.

Here in the circle,
The circle of life!

Still, might help his trade value so this is good.

Is he bipolar or what?

A litte contradictory here!

Getting close I think. The kid's ****ing crazy. I can't understand people suggesting that just paying him millions upon millions will fix this problem.

After listening to his interviews and McDs, I don't even think they know WTF is going to happen. I think that's why everybody's playing both sides of the fence because of how this could turn out.

[mr007]

Honestly we should just keep him. Sign him to a Roddy White type of deal and let's keep building, we don't need to lose one of our best players on offense.

Jeez, If he says the right things he's a two faced liar ........ If he says what he feels he's a selfish team hater.

Dude is in a can't win situation.

Won't fix the problem, but if you want highly productive and talented wide recievers on your team, you generally have to deal with head cases. Having a team full of Rudy's who win championships usually only happens in the movies.

How did he force him? The ever-popular "pulling out of toenails"? Bamboo shoots under his fingernails?

Or was it the terrifying "asking of a direct question" technique so popular with terrorists and reporters the world over?

Brandon Marshall open to playing for Broncos next season

FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. — Call Brandon Marshall a talented receiver.
Call the Broncos' star receiver a magnet for drama and controversy.
And now call him contrite.
"Learning from last year and last offseason, I approached things unprofessional," Marshall said today at the Super Bowl XLIV media center. "This offseason I'm just going to go with the flow and just go in whatever direction the Broncos want to go."
After not granting interviews during the Pro Bowl events last week, Marshall broke his silence today so he could promote the NFL 2009 Season in Review DVD that comes out June 1. Marshall's record-setting, 21-catch game against the Indianapolis Colts, who are here preparing to play the New Orleans Saints in Super Bowl XLIV, is featured prominently on the DVD.

Marshall was an unhappy Bronco last year when he protested his contract situation by holding out from a mandatory minicamp in June and acting up during a preseason practice in August. He put his issues behind him to make 101 catches through 15 games, but he found more trouble in the season's final week.
When he tweaked his hamstring in a Wednesday practice, and showed up 20 minutes late for treatment on Friday morning, Marshall was deactivated from the final game against Kansas City.
Is Marshall now having second thoughts about wanting leaving the Broncos?
"I don't know if I would call it, second thoughts," Marshall said. "Last year I handled things totally wrong. I just looked at the business side of things and took things too personally. This year I'm going to remove myself from the situation and let the Broncos decide the direction we're going to go in as an organization."

I know, god forbid something positive happens to this organization while McD is here...

And the 2001 New England Patriots.

Oh, and the 2002 Tampa Bay Buccaneers biggest offensive star was Brad Johnson.

The 2000 Baltimore Ravens? Jamaal Lewis.

Most teams who won a title thanks to great defense didn't have an elite WR. A lot of them have lacked elite QBs too.

Lot of different ways to a championship. Terrell Owens makes it seem like giving huge money to unreliable yet highly talented stars isn't a great way to achieve that goal though.

I'd prefer Marshall to stay, but the ball is in his court. He needs to take an extension that protects the Broncos from his propensity for bad choices. If he'd do that this would all be resolved quickly.

[montrose]

The interesting thing here is, what are the negatives of paying Marshall? I assume you could say the risk of another suspension, a possible lack of motivation and/or showing the league you can get what you want from Denver if you're good enough.

For me, I've always been of the feeling that McDaniels was not hired here for his offensive genius, or to work with any certain player. He was brought here to bring a culture of team-first opposed to me-first and after batting Marshall on-and-off for a year because of these exact principles - to reward him with a big contract might counteract that. It's going to be very interesting.

The camera loves this kid. He's going to have a bright career in broadcasting after he's done playing ball.

If we are counting on not needed to deal with talented head cases on offense by getting defenses as great as the 2000 Ravens and 2002 Bucs, or the spectacular defensive gameplans of the 2001 Pats, I am not going to hold my breath on how long before our next superbowl. Especially when you compare our front seven with thiers. Besides, they seem to have just traded the talented headcases from offense to defense (except the 2001 Pats maybe, who have the talented headcase as a HC). I could buy it if we had an unstoppable offensive line and rb combo, or supertalented qb, but I don't feel close there either.
As far as TO, he had to go, but after getting rid of him the 49ers and Eagles haven't done as well as they did with him.
