All the drama and disfunction

in Oakland, Denver and KC this year is just icing on the seasonal cake. Ah, Brandon Marshall, good luck to you my friend.

I predict Brandon Marshall as a Redskin next season

unless my math is wrong, Brandon will be a RFA if there is no new CBA

It will be interesting to see what the Broncos do with him

Wow, that Pro Football Focus Squad was pretty crap…

Serious WTFs…
Maurice Jones-Drew over Chris Johnson
Andre Johnson not starting
Antonio Gates not starting.. and Marcedes Lewis rated higher then him?!
No love for Marcus McNeil, Haloti Ngata, Shaun Philips, Quentin Jammer or Nate Kaeding

Mercedes over Gates

Dallas Clark IND Great receiver; blocking still an issue
Marcedes Lewis JAC Just beaten out by Heap; a better blocker but not the reciever Todd is
Antonio Gates SD Will be in most teams as he’s an outstanding receiver but ours can’t live with blocking this poor

Mercedes Lewis and his 32 receptions for 518 yards and 2 TD over AG because he’s a better blocker? After you already admitted your #2 TE sucks at blocking? Gates has 600, or more than twice as many, yards as either Heap or Lewis WTF!?

600 more*

my thoughts exactly

Mercedes Lewis has been in the league what 4 years?.. Lewis is having his best year this year with around 500 yards receiving, Gates has been at or just below 1000 yards receiving 5 times.. it shows consistency. If his choice is based solely on blocking then Mercedes Lewis must be ONE HELL of a blocker… this is like putting Fred Davis into the pro-bowl this year (people talk about him being a very good blocker as well). In conclusion, even if Gates isn’t the greatest blocker, im not sure how this Lewis over Gates argument is even possible.

Gates is a terrible blocker.
