[Rod Smith]

Now that we can begin talking about 2008, I want to be the first to BEG the future Ring of Famer, HOF contender and all-around Bronco-for-life captian Rod Smith to stay in the Orange and Blue in 2008.

I understand that his WR days are likely over, but that doesn’t mean he can’t become a member of Denver’s coaching staff and continue the work he started this year with our young recievers. I would suggest that Rod Smith’s sideline coaching this year is a major reason our young recievers have had the surprising success this year despite their roster positions when the season started. And I, for one, would like his knowledge of the game and his unwaivering passion for all things Broncos to stay with us in 2008 and beyond.

Santa, if you’re listening, all I want for Christmas is to know that Rod Smith will be with us in 2008 whatever his role…

    I read Peter King last year in a mailbag get asked “Which current players do you think would make great future coaches?” He answered with the names you would expect like Peyton Manning, along with a few others.

    Then, almost as an afterthought, but he said it in a tone as if to say “without question”, Rod Smith of the Denver Broncos. He went on to say that Rod had a very deep understanding of the game and was one of the smartest football players he had ever talked to.

    I would absolutely love it if Rod pulled a Kubiak and stayed with the Broncos for the next 10 or more years.

    Absolutely! Rod would serve as an excellent coach not only with skills but passion, work ethic and Bronco pride. Shanny, you have an easy choice to make. Keep Rod.

    Broncos for life.
