I wonder if you google an athletes name and insert can into if it auto corrects or just sends you here.
 
Emanuel Canders took the Broncos deal after accepting the Chiefs offer.

Haha.
 
Took the Chefs deal, shopped it to the Bucs, blew off the Niners, ans then signed with the Broncos.

At least 3 bridges burned.

Meh we will see. Pats front 7 is still weak, their receiving corps still lacks a #1 receiver, they lost their best Rb n their best offensive weapon is coming off a devastating injury and what used to be their biggest strength, their depth, is a big weakness because of mediocre drafts in recent yearzThey aren't on the same level as the Broncos n I could see a number of AFC teams having as much success.

The Broncos, on the other hand, are stacked but they better win soon Cruz they arent built to enjoy long term success

Yet... NE will still go out there and win the East, win 12 games and see the Broncos in the AFC Title game. Every year the Pats are supposedly gonna fall off, sure.

And losing Blount isn't a very big deal seeing as the still have Ridley and Vereen. Not to mention they have 2 rookies who showed flashes of being very good WRs. They're only gonna improve, especially Aaron Dobson.
 
Panthers need Jordan Matthews and Kelvin Benjamin.

Never said they wouldnt be good but they arent going to steamroll teams. They didnt last year and still have almost all the same flaws they did last year. The only time they really looked elite last year was with Gronk n he will miss even more games this year. Plus unlike the Colts or Bengals they arent a young team of improving young stars. Also Dobson is going to be god but he will never be a star. if anything the Broncs have further widened the gap between them pats

Now Giants officially have signed former Seahawks CB Walter Thurmond to a one-year, $3.5M deal.

I wanted the niners to grab him but oh well. Seahawks are losing their "dynasty" piece by piece. They still have the most important people though
 
so some guy was trying to tell a chiefs fan that no one really things Elway is better than Montana and trying to explain the signings denver is doing right now (some chiefs fan said it was foolishi and they're cheating like they did in 97 and 98) then some guy posted this

butthurt fan said:
Are you kidding? Those stupid Donkeys fans post everywhere around the web about how Elway was the best QB ever & they continually try to undermine Montana's achievements saying stupid things like "Montana was a system QB" and "SF would have won 7 or 8 SB's during the 80's". Talk about self-delusion. First off, Montana made the West-Coast system, not the other way around, and Montana didn't play in a West Coast offense in high school or college and yet, exhibited the same clutch touch in high school and college that he did in the NFL. All QB's play in a 'system' of some sort. Secondly, the 49ers would not have won any SB's if Elway was their QB in '80's, as Elway was absolutely horrific in the SB's that the Donks lost to the Giants, Redskins, and Niners, whereas Montana owned the SB when he played in it.

Here's something else to consider. Remember the Chiefs last playoff win in '93 against Houston in the Astrodome with Montana as the starting QB? Here's a logical question which I can provide a legit answer to. Does anybody really believe that if Elway were QBing the Chiefs in that game instead of Montana that the Chiefs would have won that game? ANSWER: No freaking way -- Elway always struggled playing in the Astrodome and I can't recall him and the Donks ever winning down there, whereas Montana's teams NEVER lost to Texas-based teams with Joe as the starting QB in college and in the NFL, EVER. And it's good thing for Dallas that they didn't have to face Montana and the Chiefs in the SB after the '93 season, as they most likely would have suffered the same fate as the Oilers.

Donkeys fans try to undermine Montana's acievements out of pure JEALOUSY because they know in their hearts and minds that he outperformed Elway in every facet of the game through their careers and was clearly the better QB all the way around the horn. They're still puked out about the beating they got Montana and the Niners in SB 24.

For many of us Chiefs fans, our all-time favorite QB is Len Dawson, but we can't pretend that Dawson was a better QB than Joe Montana, the way Donkeys fans do with Turd Elway. If you had a choice of those 3 QB's in their prime & could take one of them to put on your football team, you would have to go with Montana hands down. Honestly, I really don't believe I could give a real big edge to Elway over Dawson as a QB. Sure, Elway had a better arm and was a better athlete than Dawson, but that doesn't make him a better QB than Dawson or a better passer.

dawson > Elway?

I'm really surprised there doesn't seem to be a market for Henry Melton. He was a franchise tagged DT last season. Yes, he missed the season due to injury, but do his capabilities all go away? He's still young. Everyone should want to get him on the cheap.

how bad was his injury?

ACL towards the beginning of the year. Those aren't a death sentence like they used to be.

It seems Dallas is going to get him on the cheap, which will no doubt be a good move for them. They need pass-rushers for cheap. I'm just surprised the market wasn't that heavy for him, considering he can't command big bucks.

All these signs for the Broncos aren't as great as people think IMO.... IF Talib and Ware stay healthy, they can be, but Talib has never played 16 games in a season in his career and Ware looked shot last year. Also Ward is no different from any other safety they've been trotting out there. He can't cover.

Love the Sanders sign though. The Pats only improved on defense and they unleashed that kid Jamie Collins at the end of last year. Getting Mayo back healthy as well. Plus there is still the draft. Ebron or Safarian-Jenkins wouldn't surprise me. Louis Nix III to replace Wilfork maybe too. They're gonna be tough to contend with. Those CBs and gonna make the front 7 look better.

That is the exact problem. He wants big money. And hes known to be a lazy guy. Even though the reports on him are hes lost about 20 pounds of garbage weight and looks very good. I hope he comes back to Chicago though. But I doubt it, very much.

The Broncos already were better than the Pats and Miller and Clady returning from injury will make a way bigger impact than Mayo returning. Also Ward is way better than what they had before. Plus whether Talib plays 16 games or n0
 
it always amazes me teams can afford this much in salary. Tickets don't cost that much... There must be crazy markup on merchandise and TV deals have to pay a lot.

They were 1-1 against each other last year. The Pats signed 2 big time corners to shut Peyton's game down. Revis will take DMT completely away and Browner will bump and run people to death. Underselling Mayo is pretty dumb as well. He is a huge part of their defense.
