Tony Scheffler to sign tender, seek trade

bye, bye Tony, we only want players, who LOVE being a Denver Bronco and want to play here, so bye you can leave too.

BYE

If they don't want to be here, get rid of them. It's a team game.

Hey maybe after we get rid of all our play-makers, we could go Semi-Pro!

Kerry, that TE has the same effect in 2009 as your post – unproductive.

Ask anyone outside of Denver who Tony Scheffler is and they'll say who? And not because he is underutilized but because he hasn't done anything special since becoming a Bronco. He is, at best, an above average receiving TE. Way overrated by our fan base.

But let's go ahead and beat up the coach for getting rid of guys who don't want to play here………

Yeah right and get our ass handed to us. Maybe we can go to Europe and play

Ok if this was an isolated situation you would have a point. But when a coach comes into an organization and single handedly pisses off and dismantles your entire top rated offense …. it is time to point the finger at the coach

I couldn't agree more… oc did you read above “has lead ALL tightends since 2006. And now I guess the way you rate talent is by if fans around the league know who they are??? Please that was just not thought through before you said it.

And yes I blame McImmature also, he is a bigger let down than was Ashley Lelie or Jarvis Green (yes just tossing out names)… But its still the point.

I knew McImmature would puss out on demanding a number 1, I could have at least gave a nod if he had stuck to what he said but the little Napoleon cant even do that… We'll trade Tony for someones #7 pick 3 years from now…

McD makes me ill. I am a born and bred Bronco fan but McD is a Virus to this establishment. When he fails this season and is fired (crossing fingers) what will be left is a tattered and an “all pro” deficient team. It will be such a challenge to court A list coaches like Bill Cower to bring this team back to an elite status in the NFL

“When he fails this season and is fired (crossing fingers)”

lol a born and bred Bronco who is hoping they suck so the coach will get fired. Well done sir, well done!

“why do people feel the need to find something to bitch about all the time to make themselves feel better about their lives.”

There ya go again… Seems the only one that might feel better is you! Oh wait, that right, you just did what you said I was doing. You put some one else down to make your own life seem worth while…lmao.

I love it when people like you prove me right…

And stats are always meaningless or even opinions for that matter when they are not what you use to prove your point… But all should beckon to those that agree with everything and should never have an opinion, right???

***** AND cejskyy… You could possibly be hung my the McImmature freaks around here for that statement and as a red blooded breathing Broncos fan you are NOT allowed to express that opinion…LMAO

See I don't really see it that way… I never want them to fail. Heck I was hoping last year that I was wrong about things and at 6-0 I was warming up some crow around a couple of my buddies, and I for sure wanted to eat it, BAD! But we all know how that turned out and I had to give up my plate.

Once again, I hope I'm wrong about McImmature and I hope he can grow up and handle things better. I clearly think he can coach football and with the right guys (which I'm sure he is seeking) I bet his O can do some damage, which surprised me about him going to Orton. But if he were gone I wouldn't feel any loss at all. Mood does that make me a bad fan cuz I don't like coach? I should at a min have to go to bed with out desert huh? lol To much man :-)…

The Chargers are all going outside and kissing the feet of the football gods. Seeing as we just gave them the division indefinitely.

You're supposed to draft talent and let them become good right? and use them for the team right? Then why the hell is everybody excited to give up to experienced player for draft picks. The draft is a crap chute anyway you look at it.

I've never been so unexcited for this organization.

The guy is as good as a Redskin me thinks…

Here's my wishlist:

1st round, pick 11: Rolando McClain

Trade a second and a third for the 20-25th pick in the first round to get Maurkice (sp?) Pouncey.

Remaining second round pick: Best WR available or Toby Gerhart

I can't imagine why Shanahan would want him when he has Cooley and I can't imagine Scheffler wanting to play for Shanahan when he complains about his production since he wasn't productive under Mike either. Maybe I'm completely wrong on that, I guess time will tell. I can't see that conversation even taking place though, let alone happening.

I don't know if its because you guys live in the Colorado area or what but we are the talk of the league. Every team that has us on there schedules think we are a good team to pound on. The way i see MCD knows something non of us knows. Can he honestly tell us why he got rid of the Franchise QB, WR, and future TE and RB. Wow this team has a complete face lift from 2 seasons ago. Don't know how that defense is going to look when you take away a perfect DC in Nolan. Don't know how the Offense is going to look with no proven QB,RB,WR's,TE, and no Center. But hey McD has to know what he is doing. If it were up to me i'd get rid of the guy mid way thru the season if our record isn't good. Pat Bowlen better have John Gruden on speed dail.

I feel like I am reading the Denver Post comments. You guys are depressing.

First of all, our new regime is doing their best to fix a defense that had 3 decent players when they took over. 3! That's pathetic! If Shanny would have made better decisions surrounding the D and put more time and effort on that side of the ball he would still be with us.

Second, they are looking for team first players. How can you argue with that concept? I am assuming some if not most of you have played team sports and can understand the importance of that concept. I for one will give it a chance because I love rooting for good guys like Champ Bailey, Brian Dawkins and Doom. They have that mentality and it makes them great players and teammates and elevates those around them. I want more of those types of guys on O.

Lastly, of the 3 players bounced from the '06 draft – Cutler, Marshall, and Scheff – Only Marshall has proven to be a supreme talent. I am a huge fan of his and will continue to be but do you really want to make him the highest paid WR in the league? I think that would be a very bad decision so getting anything for him, certainly 2 #2's, before he walks in free agency next year, is rather intelligent business decision.

Give these guys another year before thinking the sky is falling. Our offense with Shanny, Cutler, Marsh and Scheff was never better than a 16th in the league so whoever thinks we had the 2 or 3 offense is looking at the wrong stat. I expect marked improvement this year on both sides of the ball, so unless that doesn't happen these guys are making moves that I can support even if I don't like all of them.

“I know looking from the outside it's hard to understand what's going on, especially when you lose players the caliber we've lost in the past couple of years, but it is the ultimate team sport,” Graham said. “Not one player is going to win the Super Bowl for us.”
Thats from our TE. But heres what I got out of it, as a translation:
Winning a SuperBowl is hard enough, and were never going to get there when we keep trading away all of our damn talent. A locker room of Kyle Ortons are not going to get us anywhere. You can have a locker room of the best attitudes in the world, but at the end of the day, talent wins games. But here in Denver, we dont believe in individual talent. We believe in the system. We believe in the Patriots way.
Hey everyone, lets break out our video recorders and go tape every teams practices that are on our schedule. I bet thats McD's next big plan.

There is a psychological term for everything you have just said and it's called “Emotional Cognition Transference” or ECT. You are upset because you don't understand why what you perceive to be great players are being traded and to help yourself justify that rationale you create a world in which the other Bronco players you like and respect, think and feel the same way you do.

You will hold on so tightly to this irrational way of thinking to justify the “fear” which you have created about the Broncos unraveling at the seems that even if Dawkins and Bailey came out and said they didn't want Marshall on the team and support every move McD has made, you would proudly proclaim they were just trying to be team leaders and didn't mean a word of it.

I took what Graham said to mean that he 100% buys into what is happening and that people on the outside really don't know, they just assume.

I chose to live in and create a positive world rather than a world of doom and fear though so naturally I will see what he said completely different from someone who choses to create a world of fear and chaos.

Defence slid badly at the latter end of the year and I suppose that was McDaniels fault?

Give me a break!

anyone else fed up of the bickering and arguing?

This has been inevitable since he mouthed off about the Cutler fiasco. Why is everyone getting their panties in a bunch?

I tell you what though, with the way McD operates, if he doesn't succeed here, he won't get another chance anywhere else.

I give more credit to McDaniels and Xanders for bringing in talent than I do Nolan for game management. I was not a fan of Nolan's (until we were 3-0 and then I was on the bandwagon with everyone else) because I just don't see a guy that's been that successful over all in his career. I think he got that job bc he had the same agent as McD and McD and McD had no better options. While Nolan has had some successful seasons, I'm not sure he is the main reason. Anyway, we will see if we get better or not. If we don't, clearly Nolan was the catalyst, when we do – that will speak for itself.

Not sure where Champ and Dawk are on these matters. You are guessing as much as I would be if I said they wanted Marshall gone. They are supposedly a couple of the guys that went to McD and complained about his allegiance to the team week 17. And Cutler? I'm over him and sure they are as well. Good luck in Chicago…….

Scheffler was overrated from the start, primarily because Cutler always threw to him. He has been under used since then because he has never been in sync with Orton or McDaniels. No big loss and no big value.

We have so many needs this year, we can't do it all through the draft even with four picks in the top 80. Look closely at the team roster. We had better use our 1st round pick for a center, or our entire offense will collapse from the middle. Offensive Linemen are not glamorous, but in our case, essential.

Yes, I know! We need a wide out also. But with two picks in the second, we should make due. We will have to get used to the idea; we won't be as strong at receiver this year without Marshall. Case closed.

Here is another “fact”…this is year two of a four year rebuild. There is no way to get it done much sooner. There aren't enough “senior citizen” free agents, nor draft choices to get it done any faster. The question is, and remains: “Do we have the right man at the helm to get it done, even in that length of time?” As a fan, my hope is YES. As a realist, I have my doubts.

What say you, Kyle?
