I heard that negotiations had broken down......

Good for him. I'm sure he'll do fine. He's got a great young QB that looks like he'll fit McFired's system.
He needs to mature a lot more before he's given as much authority as we gave him. I don't think anyone has said that he doesn't have a good offensive mind, just not a good personell guy yet.
Glad he's done in Denver though.

As an OC Josh will be fine. Good move for the Rams.

from the article on nfl.com
"In McDaniels' first season with the Broncos, Kyle Orton set career highs for passes, completions, passing yards, touchdown passes and passer rating while tying his career low for interceptions. Orton's 3,802 passing yards were the sixth-highest for a season in Broncos history.

The Broncos were seventh in the NFL in passing yards and 13th in total offense this past season."
if they keep him focused on what he needs to be focused on.....he could put the rams back in contention,bradford will have a good chance to become elite.
look what he did with orton in short order

Bradford is going to put up monster numbers.

Hopefully Josh wont prevent them from getting points. But with Bradford i think he will shine.

Bradford and Jackson, they will score some points.

You would think, but watching what happened here. Plus, Jackson tends to get hurt as well so we shall see. The good news is they have a much better QB than Cassell or Orton and a group of players who have chemistry together.

Yea I think it's a really good hire. He isn't in charge of player personnel so he can't really ruin anything there. He might be a pompous ass but if the players believe that he can make them better they are going to listen and buy into him.

So how long till Josh tries to convince management to trade Bradford for Orton?


Sorry, I couldnt resist.

Josh has already met with Sam and said ""He's our quarterback. We can't predict the future. He's our quarterback, we want him to be our quarterback, we made that very clear to him and we hope he feels the same way,"

I think we've hear that before. Haven't we??

Not bad! I've always like St. Louis as a second team, unless they play us.
I wish Josh success!

good luck Josh. And thank you for your time here.
