Thread: Pro Football Weekly on Ryan Clady.......

From PFW's 09 Preview, where they rank Ryan Clady the 2nd best Offensive Tackle and 33rd best player overall:

"Ryan Clady/ Broncos.....................4.00....uu ("uu" means "Player has huge upside")
--Clady had a remarkable rookie season, allowing only a half-sack in 2008 - an amazing accomplishment for any 16 game starter, much less a first-year player who did not enter college as an offensive tackle. The athletic, long-armed Clady has an ideal skill set for a 21st century Left Tackle and has huge upside to develop further. Has a serious chance to become the best tackle in the game. Very impressive"

There is no link that I know of, it's from a magazine that's on your news stands now. They ranked Michael Roos 1st, in case you are wondering.......

Thanks, Link.

Michael Roos deserves the distinction.

But one can certainly mention Clady in the same breath . . .

yeah its funny michale roos does deserve credit he is nasty, but at the same time he didnt face as many elite pass rushers as clady did last year, and he certainly didnt have the rookie year clady had.....my guess is at the end of this year Clady will be considered the best in the game, especially since he will face much more elite pass rushers this year, lets just hope orton is good at checking down, because he doesnt have cutlers mobility, so he will have to use checkdows whenever he can......to supplant the mobility cutler gave this offense......

it can be done though...

If there is one thing Orton can do, it's check down, Knowshon Moreno should put a receiving performance clause in his contract.

Btw, before ya'll get carried away patting PFW on the back, they predict a three-way 5-11 tie between Oak, KC and Denver with Den bringing up the rear in the AFCWest.

Sweet dreams.......

So you think we will be much more than 5 wins unless we either get really lucky or are awarded a win during the BYE week that sounds about right.

However 5-11 sounds overly optomistic for KC and OAK. While KC has alot of talent they also are getting a total transformation and OaK still has aldavis.

He may be the best offensive lineman that no one talks about.

And now, Pete Prisco is getting into the act.

He says Clady is the best. So far, so good.

But then he rates Jake Long #2 above Michael Roos.

Typical Prisco.

I like Orton. A lot. I've made that obvious, of course. But at this point I don't
really have an issue with his ranking because he is coming out of a truly putrid
offensive system (an offensive offense?) and has not had the opportunity
really to show what he can do.

I will be a lot more concerned if he isn't considered much higher after this next
season because that might mean Seattle will be using our pick in the top 10.

i just cant wait to see Orton thrive in DEN. Were due for some good vibes, and i think Orton will bring us them.
10-6. with "homer" whipcream on top!

I just don't want anymore huge blowouts to SD

Keep the faith, this offense could be very productive and control the clock too. A ball hoggin O with a little improvement on the D could add a few wins.

PFW ranks Kyle Orton 24th.
Champ Bailey is 2nd, 41st overall.
Brandon Marshall 7th.
Eddie Royal 25th.
Ryan Harris 22nd.
Tony Scheffler 22nd.
DJ Williams 20th.
Brian Dawkins 9th.

They ranked PK's, P's and KR/PR's, but amazingly enough they do now take the time to rank LongSnappers, I'm gonna just go ahead and assume that they'd rank Lonie Paxton 1st with a Blue Chip grade.

And ya'll thought the media had nothing good to say about the Broncos, 24th is a freaking gift, Orton's probably celebrating with a bottle of Jack right now.......

Ryan Harris 22nd at his position is utterly laughable. I think a requirement in making this list be that you actually watch NFL games.
