About Rob »

I'm a 21 year old French and Spanish student all the way from Sheffield, England.

Seeing as the NFL is poorly covered over here, my following of the Denver Broncos had a somewhat random start. My flatmates and I got Madden '06, we all created players, I created a running back who was drafted in the 5th round by the Broncos (sound familiar) and I've followed them ever since. Hey, we've all got to start somewhere. We knew that whoever drafted us would be our NFL team - my flatmates got drafted by the Lions, Rams and Raiders. I think I won that one.

My other interests apart from the Broncos and the NFL include football (yes, soccer), cricket, badminton and it's fair to say that if you enjoy any kind of sport and talking irrelevance, you and I shall get along just fine.

Rob,

I have been quiet on B/R for sometime now, you know, dealing with post-football season depression.
Anyway, I am getting back to it and have come up with a great idea for a series. You do not understand how much I would appreciate you helping out.

-David

p.s. thanks for adding me as a favorite writer!

They'll probably lose Brandon Marshall for up to eight games. Will they lose Cutler as well?

Can the Broncos really afford to trade Jay Cutler? Is McDaniels willing to go "all in" pre-flop, risking it all just to make Cutler stop whining? What should the Broncos do? I spent a lot of time on this, and I'd love your feedback!

After what was easily the most exciting NFL season I have ever seen, almost every single NFL team has learned something new about its quarterback, whether it be finally finding their franchise quarterback, losing their starter to injury, or watching the starter lose his job. Here is the ultimate rankings--the 32 best active quarterbacks in the National Football League.
