Hillis and Scheffler were 2 of their four best players? As for Cutler and Marshall: Good riddance.
Name a better current running back on the team now? Hillis was busting it up when got the chance. Moreno was touched by a fly and fell over (I am still optimistic Moreno can be better though).
Name a better pass-catching tight end on the team. No offense to Graham (who I think is underutilized in terms of reception opportunities), but Scheffler was a better pass catching tight end.
Good riddance to possibly the best wide receiver in the league? It is going to be very hard to replace his production. Short shelf life in football. He deserved the money. I would rather pay a player big money when I know he is good.
Jury may still be out on Cutler, but at least we knew he probably had not reached his ceiling. Orton is as average as they come and has little or no chance to get much better.

I liked Hillis -- he played hard. But he wasn't a starting caliber RB in this league....how has he done since leaving Denver?
Scheffler was a diva, couldn't block for SH*T and was a slightly above average receiving TE. Not much of a loss.
I agree that losing Marshall was stupid -- dude could ball even though he was a diva.

Yawn.. someone still bitching about the Cutler trade? Seriously?
Quitler has proved his worth (or lack thereof).

I'm not saying Hillis and Scheffler were the best in the league. And I agree Hillis was not an every down back. We sure could have used his bruising style at times though last year. I am just saying I don't think we have necessarily brought anybody in that has been better at those positions.
Don't get me wrong. I, like most Bronco fans, loved Hillis. I'm not sure what happened between him and McD other than him fumbling the kickoff return in the first or second week. It seems that after that Hillis was done. But then, we do not see what goes on in practice, either.
Marshall is one misstep away from being out of the league for a very long time. One DUI. One time smacking his wife. That is all it'll take and he's done. Pretty big risk if you ask me.

Well so far I think he's been through about a week of training camp in Cleveland, so it might be just a bit early to judge him there..... :lol:

Hillis was in Denver last year. This season hasn't started, so what could he have done since he left? Blown up in spring drills? Career-4.9 yards per carry (awesome for an nfl back), could catch the ball, and is tough. Broncos could sure use him now.

glad they got ride of those incredibly talented quitter diva's and replaced them with lendale, that is HUGE character upgrade.
no no nonon ononononnooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude. Understand one thing. The last adjective you should ever use on old DBT is "bitter." Or is that a verb? Noun? I suck at grammar.

beware the habu
Makes sense. The broncs are thin at DT.
You are absolutely correct. Did Hillis have more baggage than Lendale? It's hard to believe sometimes that McDaniels was making good decisions for the team or simply acting like Napoleon and making sure know one would dare question his leadership.
