Im so sick of reaching on talent in the draft and FA.


I actually trust this org to do the right thing for the future, and not for present.

Agreed on both points. Von Miller looks to be a star. No other way of putting it. Franklin is a road grader and if he can be a pass blocker could be special. Moore shows real potential and I loved his fine. Carter the jury is out on but could be Dawkins replacement. Orange Julius has skills. If he can block the sky is the limit. That doesn't cover the rest of the draft but it looks like we hit on some winners by taking the best player available.

I think this front ofice has shown savy beyond their years. Like I have said before, I'm willing to ride with these guys for a while.

I am immensely excited for our D. You know, no matter the W total this year, this team is improved and I will actually enjoy watching them again. Not that I missed a game when I wasn't enjoying watching, I watched them all, but the last couple years I dreaded Sunday morning.

Haven't missed a game since DirecTV went on the air for the last five games of 1994 (I was a Marine flight instructor at NAS Meridian, MS). I too dreaded last season and I am really excited for this one. Don't expect a boatload of wins, but I expect to be competitive.

Yep. If plays the way has been during the regular season it wouldn't surprise me if he ends up being DROY.

I totally see this happening.

If I were Von Miller (and thank God that I am not) I would have held my cards closer to the chest and then bust out like in week 7 or something

Well, if he is good that means he will be traded at some point.....oh wait, that guy is gone. We are golden.

Listen to you guys. Like a bunch of schoolgirls. The season hasn't even begun

Hard to get sacks when the QBs don't have to pass.

Just sayin.

Don't hate... Everyone is just happy there is a reason to be excited again. Hadn't happened in a few years.

Would be exciting.....if he gets 10+ sacks this year I will buy a jersey. I am a picky jersey buyer, cause I hate to buy a jersey of someone and then see them traded. Hence I own jerseys of former broncos who had careers in denver.

If I were Miller I would tear it up the first four games or so and then go into a real slump for the next 8, then tear it up again for the rest of the season.

That way I would get ROY and Comeback Player of the Year too. Booya.

me too. thinking on getting a dumerville jersey though. Von Miller is a valid consideration if he keeps it up (and I am sure he will barring injury)
