Earth to Marshall: Huh?

If Marshall had never had an off field incident I would have a whole lot more sympathy for his demand to be paid now. He has produced on the field, no doubt, but he never has given me the feeling that he is a good long term investment. Will he do something stupid that get’s him suspended for a full year? I hope there are a lot of safeguards built in to protect the Broncos.

Bad time to ask for a raise…Coming off hip surgery, Ex girlfriend about to appear on tv to discuss why your an ass, Suspension looming with a severe case of the droppsies last year. If i were him i would take the 2.2 and quietly rehab, get a long distance relationship and work on catching the ball…I actually love marshall’s passion and intensity and he is a perfect compliment to royal. Few things excite me more than our young and talented receiver tandem. Marshall is a nice big target for simms/orton to throw to and i am planning on seeing him in orange and blue for awhile…but i think he needs a strong showing this next season if he wants andre johnson type money…I could see him getting top notch cash if he stops the “off the field” nonsense and has another strong season.

This is just the press being the press. I’m almost positive that I read in there that his Agent said he didn’t ask for a new contract. At this point in the offseason we just need see where it goes.

Kyle. I go with you. I’ll wear the 15 and you the 6 and we can get Budweiser to sponsor it and turn it into a sappy NFL Superbowl commercial. We could even hire JMD to give us a push. That would be storybook.

BMarsh isnt going anywhere, he’ll come in and shut up and play … he won’t go to Chicago …. him and Cutler aren’t the best of friends like everyone thinks so IMO, if they were he wouldnt have burned Cutler on NFLN during his interview with Rich Eisen.

Maybe McDumbass will trade him away to detroit for their first round pick next year, knowing that they will be in the top five again. Than hey, maybe we can draft a kicker with that pick. You know McDumbass would have to at least think about it….after all, he is an idiot.

Broncos better pay him now cause if he has another 100+ catch season we won’t be able to low-ball him. I think 6 year 36$ million with 18$ million guaranteed and clauses that force him to pay back his bonuses if he gets in trouble is a more than acceptable contract for someone that can have 100+ catches per season. We have to sign him regardless of the fact that we have depth at receiver because we can’t let our talent leave our team and strengthen another team. And he won’t go to Chicago because he already gave his parting shot to Jay by saying stats don’t mean shit if you can’t win a freakin important game.

i wouldnt pay him a fucking thing until he shows he can go a year without beating up a woman.

Wow a lot of animosity for Marshall. I actually like the way he is going about this. He has not made any demands or ultimatums, he just wants to get the conversation going. This is actually quite common to resign a star player in the last year of their deal.

Of course I am not saying that the front office should not factor in past behavior problems or injury concerns, but lets not jump all over Marshall for looking out for his career. The guy is a great Bronco and all of us should hope we can reach a good long term deal with him that works for everyone.

he needs to quit watching WWE, maybe then he will stop trying to wrestle his chick.

yeah that has to be it T-money. it was just rough sex. lol.

yeah i hear you Ian. im frankly sick of the guy and all his antics. players get the opportunity to make millions just by simply playing a game, yet have to beat women, kill dogs and do drugs ETC ETC ETC……. they just have it so awful that they have to resort to beating women and murdering animals. and what pisses me off evenmore, is when they are caught, they blame it all on where they grew up and their surrounding environment and so on and so on. its ridiculous.

i dont get why he should get suspended if he hasnt done anything illigal? if he dosnt get convicted, why should he get suspended?

but these sort of things seem to happen all over the world when sports are involved, happend in the swedish hockey team during a tournament in sweden some years ago when 3 players(Kristian Huselius was one of them) had sex with a girl in a hotelroom, they where not guilty infront of the judge, but still got suspended from playing hockey in the national hockey team for 3-4 years each, which is crazy in my opinion.

if BM is not guilty infront of the judge, how can we then think he should get suspended, if he hasnt done anything that is illigal.

and if you dont agree with me, you have to think your justice system isnt working.

kerry randy moss set the single season touchdown record in mcdaniels system and went well over 1000 yards and almost 100 catches with brady and wes welker went over 100 catches and 1000 yards in both seasons… and randy with cassell put up another 1000 yard season with over 10 touchdowns… marshall is one of the best wide receivers so idon’t think the systems gonna hurt him that much and even before u start going off about kyle orton n simms i know u hate them both alot of marshalls yards were off YAC not the big giant deep ball so he still can be very effective with a not as strong armed QB

Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

This American government sucks ass.

I was speaking more on the actually justice system not the NFL…

I just watched the OTL report and they had Brandon on in a live interview and he sat there with “facts” and was reading off of them which completely countered everything that was stated in the piece. If anybody has gone through the court system before or been around it, you’ll understand that police reports are based on the opinion of the officer. He also said that he stands by his statement “I respect woman and I never laid a hand on RW”. He has police officers that are testifying on his behalf. I saw this as nothing more that a dramatized piece done on the behalf of RW. It seemed like the entire thing was just intent on pointing the finger at Brandon. Personally I wasn’t convinced.

Only a judge can decide, and like i was saying. You’re (supposed to be) innocent until proven guilty.

roshon
“Just because you innocent in a court room doesn’t mean they didn’t do it”
but it thosent mean they are guilty either, and having a one man jury in the nfl, that judges players just thosent seem fair.
Would u accept being suspended without pay from your jobb, just becouse your boss saw a police report with your name on it? that didnt even hold up in court? and if that would be the case, you could probobly sue him(this is america isnt it?) right?

I just sent these comments, ( a little more subdued), to ESPN.com . . . they probably will dismiss them . . . but at least I let them know how I feel about their daytime drama crap.

I don’t know about all this, I’m more than convinced BM did something, but in the same respect I think these two chickenheads have alot to do with this, more than they are willing to admit of course. Two reports of proposed settlements to shut up, one for $500k and $100k, came from the women I think? I guess regardless of the beating these two took they have a figure in their heads where its worth more to them to make some cash over prosecuting a possible abuser? Yeah, I think there’s a lot of BS involved but BM definitely has his issues to deal with.

New contract, yeah, he should get one, but loaded with performance (off field/on-field) escalators. How about a base of $4.5mill per year with $250k jumps for ProBowl, 85 catches, 1,200 yds, 10 TD, and if he completes that entire line, an extra $500k. Arrests of any kind nullify the $500k bonus, and two of the escalators automatically regardless of the final stats. Is that possible? Would the Players Union have an issue with those stipulations? I’m sure they would, but let’s be honest, those numbers aren’t going to come as easily as they used to with the new QB/system. He really has to have an amazing year performing mostly after the catch to hit those numbers (which is where he always excelled at anyway), not even mentioning that I seriously doubt 85 catches is going to happen this year. If he falls into the range of 70-80 catches, 1,000 yds, 6-8 td’s we’ll have to be happy as we don’t have #6 throwing to #15 (regardless of double coverage or not) anymore. We’re going to run the ball, and spread it around in the air. I figure Royal will have similar stats to this line. Really, no one can complain if this is the case and Moreno puts up 1,000+ on the ground and another 350-500 in receiving. Let’s not forget Scheffler getting a few thrown his way and Gafney and Stokely, not nearly enough balls to go around for guys to hit performance escalators. A balanced attack? Who could ever of thought.

Kerry,

Yeah that was my point to Nisse. Just because your not convicted doesn’t mean you didn’t do it and correct he wasn’t found innocent only not guilty. I’m not going to feel sorry for B-Marsh if he is/gets suspended in the future even though he was never convicted. It would be one thing if this was a one-time thing but seven times? The NFL has a code of conduct that many orgnaization have, some stricter than others. I know some jobs that have no smoking policy’s. They catch you with nicotine in your system your gone. Is it illegal to smoke cigarettes? Close but not yet. Working for some employers should be considered a privledge and not a right, hopefully B-Marsh will learn that soon.

Oh yeah Kerry, OJ did murder those people. Karma’s a bitch, don’t fuck with it…

Kerry,

I agree with you that NT or any part of the DL is a more dire position for this team but this team isn’t winning anytime soon. I’m not sure if there’s a NT/DT worth it out there. Those that are, surely won’t be traded ala Pat Williams. Besides I’m hoping maybe one of these FA’s workout or get a NT next year like Jay Ratliff, some late pick who has an ax to grind. As for Boldin, though I do think he’s a better receiver, he’ll be 29, which isn’t old but means he probably only has 5 good season left. Doesn’t leave much time if this team takes 2-3 years to rebuild. I haven’t given up on Marshall just yet, I don’t see him as a TO problem but he does have a bulleye on his back. The media is going to scrutinize every single thing, on and off the field. If there was a trade, I’d trade D-Will. Though I would like to see how he does in the same system that Patrick Willis has exceled, I’m just not sure if this is going to be a system he can excell, maybe I don’t know. He’s what I think the greatest needs are:

1. QB(A QB might not take you to the Super Bowl but they defintely can prevent you from going)(Wish list at this time, Bradford, Snead, McCoy, or Clausen.)
2. NT/DT(Defnitely need a monstor in the middle, this doesn’t necasarily have to be a high draft pick in my opinion, ala Jay Ratliff or Mike Wright)
3. MLB(Almost have this number two because, i think it’s the most important position on defense, but we have decent LB’s now, just not the Al Wilson type.
4. DE/OLB(We need a pass rusher, someone in the Peppers, Strahan, Suggs mold. Maybe Ayers is this guy, but having a second like the Strahan/Umenyiora combo will save this team.)

Safety was a close 5th, but I’ll see how the rookies work with Dawkins. If there bums I like Eric Barry and Taylor Mayes even though your not an USC fan.

I know it’s way to early to talk about next year, but hey it’s the offseason.

Next Year pick up a stud MLB in the 1st rd, one of the QB’s in the second. If there’s a player that McD feels doesn’t fit his system but has talent(DJ) trade him for a pass rusher. And feel the DL out with FA’s, 3rd-7th rounds.

Just my wish list.

Sorry for the rant, slow day at work

i agree with that list. i like Colt McCoy next year to be a Bronco. next year (unless he is re-signed before) Vince Wilfork will be a free agent from New England. he could be had. but i also like Brandon Spikes. the MLB out of Florida. if he came out this year he would have gone top ten easily. but those guys you mentioned, Mays and Berry, will be gone before we pick because we dont have our natural pick. and Chicago may win alot of games this year so we may miss on guys like Eric Berry, Brandon Spikes, Gerald McCoy, Terrence Cody. we could realistically get Colt McCoy though.

yeah this year was a pretty weak draft in terms of overall talent at any position. i hate the fact we traded the 1st round pick for Smith. i mean i really hate it. this guy is gonna be a nickel CB at best. if he was Nnamdi Asomugha or Champ Bailey type talent then id be all for it. but he isnt. i dont care what anyone says. we could have had DJ Moore out of Vandy in the 3rd or 4th round to be our nickel CB or used Jack Williams in that spot. i mean when you really think about it, how much time is Smith really gonna see on the field? i dont believe he will be a starter anytime within the next 2 years. getting Colt McCoy and Brandon Spikes next year would have been huge. key words being “would have been” perhaps McDaniels is waiting for the next offseason to get Matt Cassel. the Chiefs have put off a contract extension. probably to wait and see if he is actually good without McDaniels system. which i dont think so.
