Having trouble getting myself fired up for Bronco's football this year though. Not really sure why.

They weren't expected to be good. There are still a lot of doubters out there not on their bandwagon even after they have had some very quality wins. Amazingly, they are still under the radar to an extent.

Only Indy might be better than Denver in the AFC at this point. Still a long season to go though.

I disagree.....the way Broncos offense is now ran is a lot like the Patriots offense for obvious reasons. Short pass, short pass, short pass, deep bomb. Orton will underthrow those deep passes while Cutler could rocket it there. I think Cutler could have learned this offense pretty well and done just as well if not better than Orton.

Because Denver isn't a Super Bowl caliber team. Maybe it's the altitude that helps the team put up great numbers, but past experience and the roster should tell you that the Broncos won't do much in the playoffs. But with a lack of great teams this year, you never know.

I think Denver would be 4-2 at best with Cutler....

Just my opinion of course, but Cutler loves to give the ball away.

Cutler had a huge attitude issue in Denver, he didn't want to be there, hence he would not have been successful.

He didn't want to be here after they attempted to trade him away. Wins make everything disappear. Look at what happened with Marshall.

Yup. Both of them are guys with cannon arms that got told they could be great quarterbacks on arm strenght alone. nevermind that arm strength is just part of the equation

Couldn't have said it beter...Campbell can't walk and think at the same time.

Thats why he took Heyward-Bey over Crabtree....he can run faster to catch those deep balls.

I was being sarcastic about it. Another piss poor al Davis decision.

Campbell also is supposed to be able to run well for a QB. Open-field and short yardage, I guess, though I don't remember him being used for sneaks and such. I'm ticked off enough that part of me wishes he'd get clocked and knocked out for a while, but his big body seems to insulate him well from hits.
