Custom Authentic Jerseys

With their #12 pick in the 2009 NFL draft, the Denver Broncos elect to draft Knowshon Moreno, regarded as the top RB in the nation.  It was a stunning move because most critics expected Denver to address their needs on defense.  In addition, because of the Jay Cutler trade, the Broncos still remain without a solid QB to run their offense.  It’s hard to know why the Broncos elected to draft Moreno, though in terms of skill at RB, Moreno was second to none in the draft.  Some speculate that Denver went after Moreno to prevent another team from drafting him, which is a more than odd justification.  Others speculate that the Broncos drafted Moreno first because without a starting QB, a solid RB will be able to make progress down the field even if the QB can’t throw the ball.  It’s unclear what Denver had in mind, but fans will watch their 2009 season with great interest.

Despite selecting Moreno first, Denver made some solid picks later in the first round and in the second round of the draft.  The Broncos nabbed Robert Ayers, Alphonso Smith, and Darcel McBath who will make some solid additions to the Broncos defense.  But most fans seem to be more excited about seeing Moreno on Broncos jerseys in the coming months.

Jay Cutler may have came across wrong in appearing to want to have input in recent decisions made by Broncos’ administration and as a quarterback, a barely above average quarterback at that, it just would not be his place.

Many reports of recent incidents place the numbers at the forefront of this argument against Cutler’s actions stating that his stats as a starter for the Denver Broncos speak for themselves. These past three years he as achieved a record of 17-20 with 54 TDs with 37 interceptions leaving him with a passer rating of just 87.1.

Cutler, who turns 26 next month still has much to learn and being humble is something that very well could benefit this hopeful prodigy. But Cutler may be misrepresented in these recent occurrences by media.

Former NFL quarterback turned CBS analyst, Rich Gannon recently added his thoughts on Cutler, “He’s one of the top 10 quarterbacks in the league. Is he a top five guy? Probably not.”

It started with Cutler’s disagrement in firing once head coach of the Broncos Mike Shanahan. This can certainly create some unease. Cutler was then reportedly told that the entire offensive staff would stay intact, yet Jeremy Bates was later released as well.

Broncos head coach, Josh McDaniels, later stated, “I don’t recall having that conversation with Jay.”

After the Lions, Jets and Browns all fire their head coaches most probably assumed that the blunt of the finger pointing had completed and apparently came as a shock for some teammates.

“I don’t think any of us saw this coming,” linebacker  Spencer Larsen explained.

But after years of relieved coordinators – Greg Robinson, Ray Rhodes, Larry Coyer and Jim Bates – the finger eventually was going to get pointed at the decision maker of the team. Shanahan makes all the personnel decisions and ever since the Elway and combination of Terrell Davis things haven’t been the same for this Denver team.

But where does this leave the Denver Broncos? This case is probably much like an other franchises, whom usually refer to this decision as a rebuilding stage for the team. Only reaffirmed by owner Pat Bowlen had these words to reflect his decision, “After giving this careful consideration, I have concluded that a change in our football operations is in the best interests of the Denver Broncos.”

It is rare to find something that truly brings back the passion and love you once had for a sport. For Jake Plummer former NFL quarterback for the Denver Broncos shocked fans when he retired in 2007. A decision that he made due to the constant diet of anti-inflammatories and aching back and knee injuries he sustained during his role as a superstar quarterback.

Now Jake finds solice in playing and promoting his long lost love for handball, a niche sport passed down to him by his father. His competative nature still comes out as he stives to improve his game, but now his determination is to improve is solely for personal aspiration.
