What to make of this?!!!


Brady Quinn.... Hmm... One good thing you can say about the trade is that Denver didn't have to give up much for a "potential" solid quarterback. Quinn should be able to flourish in McDaniels' system based on all the check downs that the offense calls for. Quinn is a high percentage, 15 yard passer that boded well in Weis' system (simular to McDaniels) at Notre Dame. I can't say I think Quinn will start the year because Orton didn't fare too bad last year, but I think Kyle will be on a constant choke chain with McDaniels holding the leash tightly.

To conclude and emphasize again: All we had to give up was a fullback and two lowly draft picks. Nice pickup McD.

Quarterback, Inside linebacker, or...... CJ Spiller/Knowshon Moreno combo?


Yahoo Sports is picking the Broncos to take inside linebacker Rolando McClain at the 12th spot; Pat Bowlen wants a QB, and it looks like the Broncos could go after Colt McCoy at the 12 spot. But.... Everyone knows that CJ Spiller is a game breaking RB that could be very versitile in McDaniels' short passing/check down system. The thought of Moreno and Spiller as Denver's 1-2 punch in the backfield is just downright SEXY. No offense to Buckhalter, but his mileage is getting up there; and I don't think we need a linebacker with a first round pick. I'm liking the sexiness of Moreno/Spiller.
