My response to you was simply offering evidence that Jakes performance was defensible as it was more Dan Neil that killed his team than Jake, and what lingering doubts there were were completely eradicated by the DOnkeys piss poor defensive showing.

And yes without a doubt this is a sour grapes situation!

1. Jake has plenty of practice playing in games were he is down by 21-3. He should know how to react. A good QB comes back, and doesn't bury his team even further in the ground.

2. HYPOCRITE. For 17 weeks there were at least 3 post per week about how well Jake is doing or how we should have kept him. Let the anti-Jake guys have their day.

3. Yes,yes. If anyone is insulted about the "Choke on it" remark I apologize. I meant no harm or not to antagonize. Meant to be a little elbow in the ribs kind of thing.

Peace

All good by me, though I still contend that Jake needed to put a TD on the board everytime he touched the ball to stay with the Colts. Impossible, unless your playing against a D like the Broncos trotted out onto the field.

You can have your day. But I am one of the few Jake supporters who is glad that he is no longer in AZ. SO don't have it on my account, cool?

I wasnt offended, I just thought it was misguided. Peace, indeed.

For me it just reaffirms what I thought about Jake, he's not a franchise QB and at the salary he got here, and what he'll cost Denver in year 3, he's a mistake. This year and next he's cheap and a bargain for Denver, but in year 3 the option comes due and the salary jumps, unless they redo the deal then, you're paying a LOT of money for a guy who has shown he's not a guy who can win without things around him being in place.

Doesn't mean he's a bad player, just that when you have a cap if you overpay your QB it makes it harder to get those pieces in place around him. Assuming McCaffrey retires this year, Sharpe may too, they almost HAVE to give Portis a large raise, they're not going to be in a position to make huge upgrades on their OL and replace Sharpe. So at some point they're either going to have to rework Jake's deal so year 3 and on are more cap friendly, or the expectation of what Jake HAS to do for them will increase significantly.

That said, the real issue I see with Denver's offense next year is Lelie, he simply HAS to become a more consistent player, he's tall, fast, can make big plays, but he's got to hold onto the ball and he's got to be able to get open more consistently. There were moments like Cleveland where he was a difference maker but they really need him to take a big step up next year and provide a more consistent deep threat WR.

I still would love to see the Cards make a run at Al Wilson in FA but I doubt he's going to be a priority with our needs at DL and CB.

I bet Jenkins can become Jakes #1 guy there!!! I would laugh my behind off!!!!

You guys make me laugh, you want to blame Plummer for all of the losses when he was with the Cards and now blame him for the loss in Indy. Plummer didn't lose that game for the Broncos it was a total team effort. The rat was out coached by Dungy and Manning was near perfect.

Going into this playoff game Manning was being questioned for not being able to win in the playoffs and one game got that monkey off of his back.

Give Plummer his due, he had a good season with the Donks and could have done the same here if he had a running game.

Has Shanahan won a playoff game since Elway retired?

I don't blame him for the loss yesterday but the point is he faced a defense apparently daring him to throw the ball downfield, and he got 180 yards against it and only 10 points. No he didn't play defense but he threw for about 100 yards LESS than he did 2-3 weeks ago when they played.

I agree with others the decision to bench so many guys against Green Bay may have come back to haunt them.
