Anyone that thinks JC won't help the Broncos just hasn't watched much football.

What would you say if I told you I 100% agree with you? I believe you totally misread my angle, sir.
When did everyone become so gosh dang serious in this joint? Damn, tough crowd!

Sorry - but after reading through the other threads, I assumed (meaning is acknowledged, right?) you were bashing on him.

He was (is?) a longtime Broncos' fan though. Maybe he coughed up that fumble on purpose?
:yo:

Negative, love the Charles signing - even as a Booker homer (Ute fan). Just recognizing Charles for his previous contributions and making an admittedly lame joke.

Exactly! I mean that play may have been structured into the guaranteed portion of his contract - I will assume it is until proven otherwise. God bless you, Jamaal!

Apologies Mr. weazel, I forgot how much there is to talk about on here during the long and exciting offseason! Please find your way to one of the other 4 mildly active threads in the Broncos section. Sorry to waste your time.

That was hilarious. :laugh: I don't think that #21 for the Broncos who keeps missing Charles in this video is Aqib Talib! And whoever #20 was, he's not on the roster any more! He blew a few tackles too. So did #57.
The take away that I have from watching that video is "this dude really is patient. He sets up his blocks perfectly, then explodes through the hole and then turns on the jets and is just gone." Defenders trying to take an angle on him in the open field have very little chance once he breaks loose.
He doesn't have to carry the ball 20 times a game to be a beast for the Broncos. A few screen passes, a toss play when he sneaks out into the open. Just having him on the field is going to put the fear into the hearts of DCs we play.
They are going to have to account for him. Plus, what this video does not show:
1. Guy just straight up JACKS LBs coming on a blitz. He doesn't act like a speed bump like most RBs. He attacks blitzers and plants them hard. He's a complete back.
2. I remember having the FEAR everytime we would play KC that he would just go wild and destroy the game. And it would often happen, as you can see from this video, plenty of the highlights are against Denver - back when they had the Blue uniforms.
Can he still do that? Yes, but less often. They can't make him the work-horse RB, his knees won't hold up to a season of pounding like that. But, a situational RB, a 3rd down terror? A guy who can catch passes over the middle, can create mismatches? Oh, yes.
4. He's actually better than almost anybody the Broncos could have drafted. Compared to a raw rookie who needs to learn how to play in the NFL? Child please! Jamaal was master of Andy Reid's system, which is quite complicated. He won't have any trouble picking up the offense. And he'll be ready to go week 1. No learning curve. I'd say his impact will be greater this year than any RB in the draft outside of Leonard Fournette, or Christian McCaffrey.
Blocker, to help in protection schemes? Check.
3rd down specialist who will create mismatches with LBs in space? Check.
Intimidating Runner who will draw defenders into the box to defend the run, allowing the underneath routes to open? Check.
I can understand why KC felt they paid him too much the last 2 seasons for his production. The Broncos felt the same way about Ryan Clady.
But, Clady played LT at 320 lbs. Jamaal is 5'11", 197. It's a LOT easier for your knees to hold up when you are light and don't play every down.
The Broncos will use him in situations and let CJ start. If they do that wisely, there's a great chance he will last the season, and be a HUGE contributor. He's a better all-purpose weapon than anybody the Broncos could have possibly drafted outside of Christian McCaffrey - and they could never have gotten him since he went at #8.
I think this is proof positive that NFL GMs are a herd of frightened geese. Why didn't anybody sign this guy 2 months ago? They are afraid of looking bad in taking a chance on a guy who has had serious knee injuries the last 2 seasons.
But, you have a medical staff to evaluate these things, no? Broncos staff checked out his knee, pronounced him good to go.
And from his statements the dude is on a mission. He wants to punish the Chiefs for dumping him. And he will.

So, Wave...if Charles gives us 1k all purpose yards would you be happy? What type of stats (roughly) does he have to put up for it to be a good signing?

1K all-purpose yards would be great. We are basically paying him nothing and he really doesn't project to get even the bulk of the carries. So yeah, I think that would be a major success. Even like 800 total yards I could live with. I don't think we will be able to overwork him with his injury concerns.

I think he might have two or three huge games where matchups allow him to just abuse defenses. I like the signing in the sense that he gives us speed, and we can, IMO, rely on him for a few games with a large amount or touches.

We really need CJ to actually be healthy for a change too. That will allow us much more flexibility in how we use Charles. My fear is that by like week 6 Charles will be forced into being our workhorse guy and burn out.

If CJA goes down we can still do the Booker and JC thing. I feel like the roster is built to absorb some RB injuries!

Yeah, he was. But I think he will get better. I also think if he doesn't, with an improved line, he will still be able to be around 4.0 YPC. IDK. Maybe I'm too hype. I'm about to go full blown hype.

Oh, you poor *******! :laugh: My advice to you is to make sure that you get an internship or law clerk position with some law firm by no later than your second year. The damn law schools are still churning out lawyers and some of them never make it. Figure out what area of law you want to practice. Make sure that it doesn't require being hired by a big firm unless you are going to be top 10%.
I did a judicial clerkship at the Court of Appeals after school, but I doubt it really helped my career. One of the most successful members of my class was a dude who was in the bottom 10%. We all thought he was a dummy, and he flunked the bar the first time, but he had an inside track to a local immigration law firm and he did quite a bit better than many students who were brighter and had better grades than him. Being successful in a retail law practice depends on your marketing skills more than your legal skills, sorry to say.

No, I just don't have the time that I used to so most of my time spent on here is simply skimming through threads and lurking. As I said, I love you all. :salute:
