Thread: Champ Bailey embraces increased expectations following Broncos’ signing of Peyton Manning

Although Champ is always politically correct, I found this article interesting.

Champ Bailey has warned his Denver Broncos teammates not to waste the “golden opportunity” they have been presented with thanks to the arrival of Peyton Manning.

The 11-time Pro Bowl cornerback believes Manning’s introduction gives the Broncos a genuine chance at challenging for a Super Bowl title, but only if the squad lives up to its potential and starts to adopt a tougher mentality.

You can just see the hunger in Champ's attitude now.

So excited about this team. Elway has done a fantastic job, and I hope... We can make a push in the playoffs. Champ deserves it.

The simple fact that Champ is still playing at a Pro Bowl level is a testament to him as a "Pro's Pro".
He deserves a ring more than any other player in the NFL. And DEN needs to get him one, dammit.

If he can last like Darrell Green that would be epic.

Champ has always been a classy guy. Love his attitude. Even though Cllinton Portis had some GREAT years for the Redskins, I still wish we never traded Champ to the Broncos.

Champ deserves a ring that's for sure. I can in-vision Bowlen holding up the SB Trophy and yelling--"THIS ONES FOR CHAMP!!!!

If he can play the next 6 years he will be wealthy beyond his dreams. He could retire as the most highest paid CB. Has anyone seen the contract--salary he has received over his long career.

Champs stands to make $128.0 million from 1999-2015 over a 17 year career! Not bad Champ...not bad.

I was sad when we traded Portis. He could have pushed over the edge in our Plummer years and got us further then the AFCCG. Too bad we couldnt have just traded away our 1st rounders for two years and had both.

But I love me some Champ Bailey. One of the most classy dudes that has ever wore orange and blue but is also an outstanding CB. Hopefully we get him that ring soon because it is more than deserved. This ones for Champ!!!

I'll believe the hype when I see it. The turmoil and investment better be worth it. We better not be a early playoff loser for a few years only to go back to 2008.

anyone who questions the dude's competitiveness simply doesn't understand champ. . . this has nothing to do with him taking the company line, and everything to do with him being a real leader-- he's sick of wasting his sweat and guts on loser teams, you can see it killing him every year. . . he was so stoked just to get a shot last year, this time he knows what the stakes are. . . he's just putting it out there for everybody-- time to be a pro and earn your money, we're not ****ing around in denver any more. . . ownership and the front office are all in, it's time for every athlete to match that. . . win or lose, champ doesn't want to be the only one leaving his guts out there this time around. . .

Indeed.

So now Champ's blessing is NOT the kiss of death?

He is probably the one guy I would love to see get a ring out of everybody. He's been loyal to the Broncos and is a pro's pro.
