I’m all for Jake the Snake coming back. As long as all he does is hold snaps for our new longsnapper.

I think we’d have the best longsnapper/holder combo in the league.

Grace and style? The guy failed his way out of a job after showing again and again that he’s a loser under pressure. Instead of showing that he has his stuff, he went home to play handball and take pot shots at Superbowl winners and young quarterbacks who won the job that he lost.

Jake Plummer is a loser.

I guess this is a ground breaking blog about coach McD lying to a reporter and it proves that we will be horrible this year. I wouldnt expect any player to come foward but a quote would be nice or if he specified when these players made the comments. Its jamie dukes job to come up with these “time wasters” until the season starts. He gives no facts but does make a riveting point about how we need to trust our children. I have no doubt that jamie dukes thinks the broncos will be bad this year but he has no idea if they actually will be. This is jamie dukes opinion and thats it. Maybe he could give a stat of coaches season records after they have lied to a reporter…that would be a ridiculous stat for a ridiculous blog.

Bronconm:

um no players are gonna step forward and publicly announce their distrust for MCDaniels. and because Dukes is saying about the Broncos doesnt mean he is hating on them.

maybe he is saying these because, well you know, maybe because this is actually a bad team?? think that might be the reason? no no, that couldnt POSSIBLY be the reason right? he HAS to be hating on the Broncos just because right? PFFFFTTTT

Haha…that blog by jamie dukes is hilarious. This is not an article and holds no merit. He titles it “Players, media have trust issues with McDaniels” yet he gives no specific players, facts, and gives no quotes. That blog is a joke and should be labeled “satire”. Wow! An NFL coach might have lied to the media…Thats unheard of!!! When i hear Jamie Dukes talk i literally feel dumber. My favorite part is the 2nd to last paragraph when he talks about trust, government, marriage and children. This is off season fluff with NO point. Jamie Dukes has been hating on the broncos this entire off season. Pre season where are you?

anthony33 you forgot the most important common trait with Orton and Plummer….
NeckBeard!!!

I can envision Orton doing a lot of the same “game management” type things that Plummer did.
Hey we all know where he ended up,(AFC Championship game) we could do worse.
Oh i forgot, we have done worse.
Bring on Orton, McD, Nolan, and the new systems, and let’s get this horrid off season behind us, I’m Ready for some Broncos football!!!

What a bitter guy.

I like watching Jake play, but he couldn’t run anything in the offense outside of a bootleg and he blew off off-season work. I also saw him when he was in AZ at training camp. Total d-bag to a bunch a kids who showed up to get autographs. I’m kind of surprised at the love Plummer (flppin’ the bird at fans) gets from the fan base, Shanny made the right call in benching Plummer, he was down right awful that year. Once PIttsburgh showed that if a D took away his bootleg plays and make him throw from the pocket he was a below average QB.

I’m not an Orton fan, but Orton has more class than Plummer, shows up for off season work and so far hasn’t p***’d off the locals.

Stay classy in Idaho, Jake.

Nothing against Jake, he was a competitor. However, Shanny did the exact right thing benching him for Cutler, I probably would have done it earlier. Jake was really handicapping the offense with his inability to throw from the pocket. With a great running game and a good d, Jake was a serviceable Qb,(as opposed to one who can carry a team) the same description applies to Orton, I see why Jake likes him so much. We had some O line and running problems in Jake’s last year and the D was shaky as well, we will see what we have with McD, Knowshon, and Nolan and that will likely determine Orton’s success.

Things Plummer and Orton have in common:

-Above average talent, not great talent
-Solid leadership skills
-Earned complete respect from their teammates
-Humble
