Dennis in NC Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 He's one of the few players still unsigned. He believes the Rams are insulting him in contract negotiations. I don't know which is funnier-the Rams wasting a 3rd rounder on him or his threats of going back into next year's draft because the Rams are offering him "4th round money" 421171[/snapback] Wow, that's a scream. I remember the baggage Incognito had leading up to the draft. And then to have the genius Mike Martz pick him up in the 3rd. What a friggin' waste. And now he's insulted by the contract offer...

John Adams Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 What exactly is your point? This is a football message board. Do you expect every poster to be another Bill Polian? 421246[/snapback] You're so cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jokeman Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 the number of 3rd round picks denver had is irrelevant. they used a 3rd round pick on this guy, and it was a stupid decision. 421245[/snapback] It's not irrelevant in the fact is they had more then usual and could afford to gamble on a player that might of turned into a big time performer ie high risk/high reward and because they had multiple picks in that round that they weren't foolish to use the final pick of day 1 on him.

They wasted a high pick on a guy that didn't make the first cut. The Broncos blew this one big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John in VA Beach Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Shanahan said to Phil Simms that he has taken Clarrett aside at least 10 times and told him to shape up and that Clarrett has no concept of true hard work and preparation in camp. Shanahan also said he (Clarrett) does not get along with the other players. A lot of people in the media blasted shanahan for picking the guy in the third, (he probably could have had him in the 6th). What I think is funny about this is that now the same media outlets are hoping that Clarrett gets cut to proove they were right in the first place and the broncos were wrong. I've heard a couple of sources say that Shanahan by cutting clarrett will have a great opportunity to proove that he is a great coach without an ego problem if he cuts Clarrett and is able to admit he was wrong to pick him. What a bunch of nonsense. How does cutting a dud make you a great coach, its really just common sense for shanahan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Shanny - amazing how his star seems to have fallen once Elway retired, no? Lot easier to pick up that "genius" label with a Hall of Fame QB running the offense....

Buckeye Eric Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Nice waste of a 3rd round pick. Still might make it down the line, but a 3rd rounder was definitely a reach for him. 421144[/snapback] Maurice's string of "good" decisions continues. He signed with the Broncos without any signing bonus. As a result, he only gets the per diem and traning camp pay for 4 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
