Happy Halloween

The Broncos are a disgrace right now! And it's all because of the stupid decisions Josh McDaniels and Brian Xanders! The Raiders who were 2-4 came in here last week and beat us 59-14 at home. It wasn't like Montana and Rice were on that team, or any other future hall of famers for that matter! The Raiders beat us with their backup QB in our house twice in a row under McDaniels' watch! (Jamarcus Russell last year Jason Campbell this year). McDaniels is 0-4 vs the AFC West at home up to this point. On top of that, the Broncos lost to a 1-5 San Francisco 49er team which now makes the Broncos 2-6 on the season. We all knew the Broncos would have their struggles rebuilding but this is not rebuilding. This is total destruction from within the organization by Josh McDaniels and Brian Xanders.
McDaniels has completely dismantled this team since he's been here. He traded Jay Cutler, Brandon Marshall, Tony Scheffler, and he traded Peyton Hillis for a backup QB who will never see the field (Brady Quinn) all because he didnt like Hillis. Hillis is lighting it up in Cleveland right now. Top 5 running back in the NFL (believe me, I have him on my fantasy roster). Where does Denver rank in the NFL in rush yardage? 32nd! That's right, we are last in the NFL in rush yardage. Not only did he let Hillis go but he also let Ryan Torain walk, who coincidentally is a stud in Washington! Lets also give Tyler Polumbus an honorable mention. Another "Shanahan-guy" who McDaniels didn't like, he let walk, and now is flourishing elsewhere (Seattle). With all of the pass-protection problems Denver is having and a 32nd ranked rush offense, having Polumbus on our team probably wouldn't hurt. McDaniels has proven he doesn't know anything about how to draft. He traded all of our draft picks for Tim Tebow (non-starter), he drafted Alfonso Smith (gone), Robert Ayers (still has a lot to prove), Knowsho Moreno (always hurt and tired, has yet to have a 100 yard game), Demaryius Thomas (un-proven WR who cannot stay healthy). McDaniels has drafted the likes of Richard Quinn, Eric Decker, Seth Olsen, Darcel McBath, Tom Brandstater, who have rode the bench up or have been traded or cut by now. Drafts can either make or break teams and 2-6 says it all! McDaniels is 10-14 as the head coach of the Denver Broncos and since starting the season 6-0 in 2009 we are 4-14 under his watch.
Was McDaniels sent by New England to destroy the Broncos? Maybe. Prior to McDaniels' arrival the Denver Broncos had a record of 125-78 from 1997-2008 (including postseason), while New England had a record of 143-66 (including postseason) in that time span. Denver was the biggest threat to New England in all years under Shanahan, including 2005, when Denver sent New England home in the playoffs for the 1st time in the Brady/Belichick era. Once Shanahan was fired, was it possible Belichick made a plan to send McDaniels to Denver to infiltrate and dismantle the Broncos for years to come? Why did we trade our 2011 4th round pick to New England for washed up Laurence Maroney? Why did we trade our 2010 5th round pick to New England for the damaged goods of Le Kevin Smith? Why did we cut one of the best long-snappers in the NFL in Mike Leach, just to sign Lonnie Paxton from New England? Not to mention former Patriot, Jabar Gaffney, who signed signed a four-year, $10 million contract with Denver. Gaffney is a decent receiver, but $10 million dollar-decent? Or how about the fact Denver traded their 7th round pick in the 2010 draft for Russ Hochstein? If McDaniels drafted right, or knew how to coach he wouldn't need all of these New England rejects! The only New England Patriot I would want to suit up for the Denver Broncos is Tom Brady, which is not happening. So everyone else who New England dumps, comes to Denver, which raises suspicion. New England is getting rid of their damaged goods AND stacking draft picks for their future while Denver gets rid of their future by trading for New England's washed up players! Oh yeah, let's not forget how McDaniels waived our up and coming young safety Josh Barrett and sure enough 24 hours later, yours truly picks him up.
It's obvious McDaniels is the wrong coach for the Denver Broncos. He's done his damage to our team. The only way Denver can get better is to fire McDaniels at the conclusion of the season and hire a proven, winning coach head coach; not a coordinator. Two coaches come to mind: Bill Cowher who has a head coaching record of 149-90-1, including 6 AFC Championship appearances, 2 Super Bowl appearances, and 1 Super Bowl Championship. The chances of him coming to Denver are slim, seeing as he lives in North Carolina, and the Carolina Panthers will soon be looking for a head coach themselves. Jon Gruden is other head coach Denver should consider. Gruden has an overall record of 100-85, including 1 Super Bowl Championship vs the Oakland Raiders. Gruden hates the Raiders and he likes Tim Tebow. Seems like a good fit. One thing I pledge not to do. I am not one of those fans cheering for the Broncos to lose so that McDaniels gets fired. Hopefully things get turned around! It just looks ugly right now!
