how in the world does that even make sense to you? yes, the Broncos are going to give up the better player, and trade down in the second round? you do know we had a better season than the Broncos and pick after them, right? if not, you may want to think of those things before coming up fantastical trade scenarios. why not swap them their second for our 4th?
Adding a talent like Marshal, with Edwards, and Cotch.. will make Sanchez look a few years better than he is. those kind of weapons are lethal for Sanchez. And even though many people believe it is all about the quarterback this is a team not a one man game.. Kevin Garnet one of the best players in basketball did a whole lot of nothing by himself and was great at it for years with the Timber wolves goes to the Celtics where everybody starts clicking and his team wins a championship. Can Marshal make Sanchez two years older, no but he can certainly make him look that way.
4:16 into Saturday and we already have the most asinine post of the day. Congratulations. Did you forget that the Celtics also acquired Ray Allen, another seasoned vet, and already had a well developed player in Paul Pierce to take the reins? Lastly, this isn't fucking basketball. There is a completely different team dynamic going on here. You cannot run an offense with two #1 WRs when your rookie QB is still trying to learn how to check down to his HBs and TEs. Marshall and Edwards are deep threats, not possession guys. If you want to run an offense like the Cardinals did for the past 3 seasons, then you need a QB with experience who won't take too many chances with the ball, not a sophomore QB. And don't even get me started on the terrible trade scenario you keep trying to bring up.
It's a QB driven league, like it or not. When Sanchez was decent or better the Jets, for the most part, won, when he sucked they didn't. 3 of the 4 teams in the championship games had franchise/HOF QB's. Marshall will not make Sanchez that much better. Sanchez getting used to NFL defenses, learning how to be a pro and having the game slow down is going to make himself better. That will be far more important than having a temperamental, primadonna talented wr. Does it mean it is impossible for a team with a shitty or mediocre QB to win a Superbowl? No it certainly doesn't preclude it. Really all it takes in that scenario is an all time great defense to win. You know a defense that doesn't allow a 100 yard runner all year and isn't easy to pass on. Those teams grow on trees right? In the last 20 years 3 teams without a franchise QB have won the Superbowl. Washington in 92', Ravens in 01' and Tampa in 03'. Basketball? WTF? Basketball has no correlation to football. Tell me what does the price of Pershing Cats in Italy have to do with the price of pussy in Siberia?
If getting Marshall means losing Edwards or Cotchery, it is not worth it. The guy is a scoundrel who cries when things don't go his way and smashes his arm through TVs. He really is a "Baby TO" on and off the field. Personally, I don't think it's worth risking team chemistry by bringing in this locker room slug.
This is by no means confrontational, but Marshall essentially was Kyle Orton's 2009 stats. He accounted for about 50% of his completions or something like that. He made KYLE "Hits the Checkdown" Orton into a top 15 QB. Adding Marshall could push Sanchez to a top 15 QB, which at this point is all we need to once again be dangerous in the playoffs.
Marshall, Cotch, Braylon, Keller, LT pushes Sanchez into a top 10, if not top 5 QB spot. Youre instantly talking having a top 3 #1 wr, the best #2 in the nfl, the best #3 in the nfl, a top 5 tight end, a hall of fame hb who can catch, ANDDD the best offensive line in football. I might even go as far as to label Clowney as one of the best #4 in the nfl. All theyd have to do is call plays from shotgun and were automatically gaining yards. If we could work it out for a 2nd, or something equivalent our offense would be almost as good as our defense.
nor is clowney and is 14 career receptions one of the top #4's in the NFL... Especially when he would be # 5 on our depth chart behind Brad Smith. Keller I think has the ability to be a top 5 TE in the NFL, the difference is his rookie season he had Favre throwing him the ball, last year a rookie QB who didn't look to his TE for whatever reason, and DK definately was in a sophmore slump. If he plays all season like he did in the playoffs he will become a superstar. Look for him to bounce back this year as we throw the ball a little more often and get him to solidify top 15 status this season, and only get better as he enters his prime.
I don't understand why you mentioned Clowney and Smith? Keller has a lot of potential, but to call him a top 5 TE is silly. If we had Edwards, Marshall and Cotchery he'd probably get a lot fewer looks too.
he mentioned the fact that Clowney was one of the best #4's in the league, I was just pointing out he was nuts. I agree with you on Keller completely, but he has to step up his game this year big time, year three is where they either make the grade and go on to become stars, or they break and end up being just a shade better than your average jag
I think Denver and McNutcase would salivate at Edwards and a 4th for Marshall. They are losing their biggest weapon and getting Edwards kinda fills that hole. As it stands now they are going to have ___,Gaffney, Royal, Stokely, Lloyd and McKinley. Throw Edwards in there and they still have a very strong receiving corps. Brandon is deadly in terms of YAC, something that our receivers are very average at. He turns dinky little 5 yards screens into 15 yard completions. At the same time he has great hands and will catch virtually everything, be it deep or short. This clip shows everything... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPINVd9zBko Yes Brandon is a headcase, but he's the most talented headcase in football, and the fact that he is available for so cheap during the PRIME OF HIS CAREER is insane.
Yeah idk why I mentioned Clowney up there. I definitely think he's got what it takes to be the best #4 possibly even a top #3 someday. He's got a few issues to work out and his speed could take him a long way
Clowney could be coached into being a very good WR, but its up to him. He frustrates me a little as he seems to have all the athletic tools, but not football tools, and I'm guessing thats the reason we saw little of him last year. Hes an athlete, not a football player , yet.
