Personnel Busts?

For those of you Shanahaters out there that swear to yourselves that Shanahan can't make roster moves worth anything, let's take a look back in time:

Let's keep in mind that this same coach that is also in charge of personnel brought in DJ Williams, Jay Cutler, Elvis Dumervil, Darrent Williams (RIP), Dominique Foxworth, Selvin Young, Andre Hall, Brandon Marshall, Tony Scheffler, the list goes on and on.  This team wouldn't even have a chance if it weren't for Shanahan.  Granted we haven't been winning games, but we're planning for the future.  The Broncos sucked under Elway his first few years.  What was the deal breaker that gave the Broncos a championship?  Terrell Davis.  Who picked Terrell Davis?  Mike Shanahan.  Give this young team the time to grow and we'll be just fine.  It's a double edged sword, you bring in great personnel and it's all Sundquist, but Shanahan had to approve EVERYTHING, which means Shanny made those moves. 

Oh, Broncos

After everything that's happend the last two years with our beloved Broncos, we could almost have a great new formula for a new reality television show.  There's more drama on this team than in any thespian society.  That being said, some things have been taken too far, and the facts need to be cleared up.

 1.  Brandon Marshall.  Two words: grow up.  Cutler said it, and I'm proud of him that he did.  This is the most important year for Jay as a quarterback.  It's time he steps up and takes responsibility for this team, and he did just that when he called out his number one target after a freak, immature accident tore apart his arm.  I know things happen, but come on you're how old?  Let's go Brandon we need you buddy!

The Real Problem with Denver's Offense

Here's a thought for all of you Shanahater's out there. 

 We lost offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak to the Texans after our AFC Championship loss in 2005.  During the time Kubiak was coordinator, our offense flourished, and as soon as he was gone, it dissipated.  The real problem with our offense is not Shanahan, but the loss of Kubiak.  Yes, Shanahan is a great coach responsible for not only the 49er's success but the Broncos success as well.  However, it does take a well rounded coaching staff to call the plays that need to be made in order to win games.

A Change Will Do You Good (Broncos)!

So another poor season, another wave of Shanahan bashing.  I'm sure these are the same people that praised him when he delivered two Super Bowl trophies.

 Ahhh my first blog here at Fan Nation.  I finally found an outlet for my football addiction.

 First off, let me start by saying that the Broncos are obviously two years into the rebuilding process, and I must say, i'm very excited.  The emergence of the next quarterback/reciever combo in Cutler and Marshall is something to get very excited about, and something we really haven't seen since the Elway days.  As usual, our running backs shine and I'll bet money on Henry having an explosive season this year.  Our team just keeps getting younger which means success will come sooner than later.
