I am man enough to admit when I'm wrong.  I have never accepted being wrong so graciously as I am right now.

 I am a fan.  Sometimes my fervor for things runs higher than it should, but it comes from passion.  As I watched Mike Shanahan be dismissed of his duties in Denver and the subsequent hiring of Josh McDaniel I was shocked like all Bronco fans.  Then, when the trade for Matt Cassell imploded and Cutler split town, I was angry and confused.

I started taking shots at Bowlen for his lack of guidance.  I couldn't believe he was giving such leway to an inexperienced young punk.  I was vomitous when they brought in Kyle Orton.  Was the Neck Beard really going to be taking snaps for my team?  GAG.

Preseason started with a polarized Brandon Marshall.  Another cog in the wheel for me.  The preseason games looked like a precursor for what lay ahead as Denver looked out of sorts and Orton looked like...well....Orton.

I predicted a 6-10 season and one season stint for McDaniel.  Now, I sit here with an undefeated team, a growing fondness for Orton and giving Josh attaboys.  I was wrong.  It's never been so sweet.  Just goes to show you that sometimes when you don't relax and give a team the benefit of the doubt, the joke can be on you.

Whether Denver makes a significant run or not, I'm sold on McD.  Sorry I ever doubted you, Pat.
