and after looking at campbell stats for another season and comparing him to other qbs around the leauge we need to lock him up and shore up our O-line.

Elway and Plummer were both worse then campbell before shanahan coached them and both ended up playing well for shanahan. (it took elway 10 years to to have his first decent season). I know shanahan didnt like campbell coming out of college but you dont pay a guy 7 million a year to rebuild a team. Snyder is paying him the big bucks to be a motivator and to get underperformer to overperform. IMO i believe shanahan will draft an OT and sign O-line free agents that fit his scheme. Right now we have big powerful guys up front (from gibbs power running scheme) shanahan would want smaller more athletic guys up front and there is only so much you can do in free agency and with samules likely to retire i believe OT is inveitable and if you keep campbell you are going to have to cut portis so second round will probably be a RB unless shanahan can find a gem in the 4th or if colt slips to the second i highly doubt we are going to have a rookie QB next year. i duno thats just my 2 cents

Excuse me, but is that John Elway you are referring to as having 10 bad years before hehad a decent season? Or did the Broncos have a QB named Marvin Elway that I missed?


Mike Shanahan did not "make" John Elway a good QB. Mike Shanahan is one hell of a good offensive coach, but attributing John Elway's success wholly to Shanahan is outrageous.


I seriously doubt that Jason Campbell himself believes that he is currently better than John Elway was until Mike Shanahan arrived in Denver.
