    Unfortuantely, like Rivers people on this board really just dont understand why the situation is what it is. Brandon does not want to be here and when a player doesnt want to be somewhere they will do whatever it takes to create chaos and force one's hand to get escorted out. I have not seen a top tier player be put on the market without some kind of personal issue or bad behavior tied to it.

    i think most people would agree with that, but unfortunately brandon has proven even more convincingly that he's a knucklehead. . . if he'd proven that he was as reliable as he was talented, he'd already have his contract here and we wouldn't be in this position. . .
    “When we do find that guy, we’ve got to have the continuity on the offensive side to where we can train him and develop him and get him there. This is our fourth offense in probably three or four years. Quarterbacks need to be developed. You don’t find one ready-made. We got to have a solid system in place for when we do go after whatever guy it may be, a young guy or a trade or whatnot.”

    I disagree, dog. Dumervil deserves a new contract but got the same tender treatment. It's about money and the fact that all the owners lucked out because almost all their UFAs became RFAs and now they can get away with paying them peanuts for one more year.

    Frankly, if Dumervil and Marshall aren't signed or traded off to another team this offseason, I wouldn't be surprised to see BOTH of them hold out. Dumervil has been a "champion of the cause" thus far but he knows what his value is now. He, like Marshall, knows that someone else will pay him what he's worth even if the Broncos won't.
