McDaniels was the reason we traded Sheffler as well as Peyton Hillis who, before getting injuries repeatedly had two great seasons in Cleveland. Even made the cover of madden.
McDaniels still did a lot of good things for us. Drafted Demaryius Thomas over Dez Bryant. Lol
So yeah. DT is the longest tenured Bronco by a significant margin actually.

Orton wasn't a bad QB (he was a perfectly good career backup) nor was he a bad guy. But that was kind of the problem. Had he been a bad QB or a headcase he wouldn't have hung around for so long. I just couldn't stand watching him play. And it's pretty clear his teammates couldn't either, because their quality of play reflected a widespread malaise on both sides of the ball that extended well past the departure of McDoofus. It took a guy who is currently trying his hand at minor-league baseball to re-energize the team because they had gotten so languid under Orton.
So, yes, McDoofus sucked ridiculously bad, but Orton played an inherently unwatchable game no matter who the coach was.

I actually saw the Rockies today, good game. PERFECT weather in Denver today. Good god I love fall around these parts.
I still hate that Cutler trade. I know he's not the greatest and we probably wouldn't have ended up with manning but I was so pissed then and still don't like it.

He got beat out by two quarterbacks with exactly 1 game of NFL experience between them. What does that tell you?
I don't think Sanchez was much worse than Seimian if at all. Siemian is young enough where he can still improve and Sanchez is what he is at this point. Lynch didn't beat out Sanchez, there is just no point in having two mediocre qbs ahead of him.
He had his moments like His refusal to work with Tebow, scuttling the trade to Miami and forcing his way out of Dallas

Seriously though, with the way coaches get recycled in the league, isn't it kinda shocking nobody has hired mcdaniels at this point?

I think it's something of a combo between two things:
A) No team wants to give him the type of control he had in Denver (and who knows if he would want it...for instance, Chip Kelly says he didn't/doesn't want it in SF after having it his last year in PHI).
B) Maybe he is happy in NE and doesn't want to leave.

I'd like CSU's chances a lot if they were to go to 14 teams... 12, I'm not so sure.
I'm going to guess that the league wants to expand its footprint, so I tend to doubt any of the other Texas schools will get in. Baylor, TCU, Texas, and Tech are probably enough.
I feel like Cincinnati has a good shot. Maybe a Florida school.

I guess Vikings fans are talking Vick, so Sanchez would probably be one of the less traumatizing options.
It has little to do with expanding their footprints, it's all about what market you can bring to us. This is why CSU probably has little chance of making the Big 12.
Houston is almost a shoo-in because that is a huge market that the big 12 would love to get their hands on, that leaves 1 spot available. SMU makes a lot of sense with them being in Dallas, plus they'd have natural rivals with TCU and Baylor, South Florida makes some sense as they'd bring the Tampa market, Cinny makes sense, even Temple makes sense as they are located in Philly.
As for CSU, they just don't have a ton to offer, cant really say they'd bring the Denver market as CU seems to dominate that market (I'd say at least a 70/30 split in favor of CU, if not more), Northern Colorado markets are fairly small, they'd don't bring a winning tradition in really in sport, their facilities are getting better with the addition of the new football stadium, but overall they are pretty bad, especially in comparison to other Big 12 schools. CSU is just kind a mid level program that has the occasional good years in sports, but more often than not they are just kinda average.
I'd love to see either Air Force or CSU make it to the Big 12 as it would be nice to have a 2nd program in a power 5 conference, but at this point in time I just don't really see it as a realistic possibility unless they are looking for major expansion.
It would be a fitting demise for the Pats making the same mistake other teams did thinking Belichick's ability takes seed in his assistants.

The Broncos have only 2 players 30 or over on the entire preseason roster - Ware and Talib (who is 30).
The Avalanche have 7 players 30 or over. Which team is rebuilding again?
In fairness it was mainly 3rd string defense, but it was hideous.
Really Dixon only had one awful punt which is unacceptable. The commentators can ***** about the laces being the wrong way on McManus's missed FG, but to me that falls more on the kicker than the holder, not every hold is going to be 100% perfect you still got to make your kicks if the ball gets placed. But on the plus side after the one awful kick he had 4 decent punts that averaged 43 yards a kick which is what Colquitt averaged last season, and also had a nice punt that ended in a fair catch on the 9 yard line. So hopefully he can just continue to get better, he was probably a bit nervous tonight after getting the job handed to him after not really winning it. That's a lot of pressure to perform, I mean it's not his fault that Elway and Colquitt couldn't come to an acceptable deal so I'm rooting for him to do well.
Paxton in my opinion was fine, once again not his fault that the offensive line couldn't block a high schooler. Even Alfred Williams made a comment about how pathetic the o-line was. Every time Paxton got some time to throw he made a decent throw. When there was a d-lineman in his grill a half second after hiking the ball he struggled, just like anyone would. You have to give the QB a reasonable amount of time to run the play, which the o-line just couldn't do. The interception was 100% on the offensive line. Due to the crappy blocking we were forced to start running quick plays to get the ball out quickly, the Cardinals caught on to that, and just started jumping all the short routes, and got the interception. There are for sure things Paxton can work on, but overall it wasn't a half bad game, and you can see the talent the guy has.
One thing Pax has over the most recent QB fans secretly wondered if it would be worth slapping ice skates on: he can evade the rush and leg out a play.
Lynch's preseason is so Madden. try and sneak as many meaningless reps in as you can to hike his rating.
