So how much trouble is Denver in?

[Guest Salacious Crumb]

Wow that was a name from the past this weekend wasn't it? So do you think Denver can win with it's 3rd string QB or are they in trouble for the next couple of weeks? I mean Kannell was never that great when he played for the Giants.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Danny Kannell, huh? Even though he's probably not, I'm thinking he's a mediocre token old QB for some reason. I vaguely remember him playing for the Giants, but nothing else sparks a memory.

[Guest Choken One]

Why not just pick Up Drew Henson who likely is similar to Plummer's style anyways or hell Akili Smith can hand the ball to portis rather effectively

[Guest Salacious Crumb]

Why not pick up Elvis Grbac?

 

I barely remember Kannell too, but I came across his name on Whatifsports.com and saw the name this weekend.

[Guest Choken One]

Grbac retired...

[Guest Salacious Crumb]

I'm sure for the right price he'd consider coming back for a few weeks.

1. Denver would have to trade for him. The trade dealine has already passed. Henson would probably come at a somewhat steep price as well, and probably one that is far too great to pay when you just need a fill-in QB until Plummer comes back in a few weeks (unless he's out for the year....did I miss something?).

 

2. Henson hasn't played football for nearly three years now. Not only is he probably not in "football shape," but he's rusty as well. You couldn't throw him out there with just a week's prep time. That'd be insane.

 

 

I don't believe Kent Graham is currently on anyone's roster. He's better than Danny freakin' Kanell, and would make a decent fill-in until Plummer gets back.

I would just grab Neil O'Donnell. He played decent backing up McNair and as long as the offense is centered around the QB turning around and stuffing the ball in #26's chest they'll survive.

O'Donnell works. I had forgotten that the Titans let him go.

Jeff George is floating around..

 

Anyways, the Ravens are gonna beat the Broncos this week. The Ravens OWN the Broncos (remembers last year, and the 2000 playoffs)..

[Guest Choken One]

yeah but George is cocky and would ask for 14 mil for his two week start...

 

 

But O Donnell would be a good starter period much less a suitable back up.

[Guest El Satanico]

The coaching staff likes Kannel, so they are comfortable with him playing. It's not like they are putting the game on his shoulders, Portis is still the main offensive weapon.

 

The only thing Kannel needs to do is manage the game. Kannel's job isn't to win the game, it's to not lose the game.

 

I believe Kannel has worked with Denver for a few years now. As we have seen in the NFL over the last few years, If Kannel knows the system he'll be fine.

And the Broncos can run the ball, so depending on the opponent's defense Kannell can just play not to lose instead of playing to win...

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

What ever happened to Trent Dilfer?

[Guest FrigidSoul]

What ever happened to Trent Dilfer?

he's the back-up in Seattle

 

Am I the only one who wants to see the 3rd string QB injured? They can just keep doing direct snaps to Portis for the rest of the day

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

I forgot about that. Blew my mind when he split w/ the Ravens after the superbowl victory..I mean, he was such a perfect fit for that system.

[Guest Salacious Crumb]

They'll have the practice squad QB backing Kannell up.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Neil O'Donnell is a shitty choke artist. He'd be one of the last people in the history of football that I'd want as my QB.

[Guest Salacious Crumb]

The Broncos signed Jarious Jackson to back-up Kannell.

If Kanell got hurt, then Rod Smith would QB. At least they got Jarius Jackson as Kanell's backup now.

And it gets worse....

 

DENVER -- Danny Kanell missed Friday's practice with the flu, leaving the Denver Broncos  with one healthy quarterback for Sunday's game at Baltimore.

 

Newly re-signed quarterback Jarious Jackson took all the snaps Friday, and he said he was coming down with a cold. Kanell, who was vomiting and experiencing other symptoms of the flu, was given intravenous fluids.

 

Damn. Danver can't seem to catch a break.

[Guest El Satanico]

Denver sure does have bad luck with QBs this year.

 

I'd be surprised if Kanell doesn't play, unless he has a major case of the flu or if it caused him to miss important "can't miss" practices.

Fools! All of you fools! The Broncos should try and coax Ryan Leaf out of retirement!

[Kahran Ramsus 0]

Not only that but it looks like Jackson is coming down with flu symptoms himself now.

 

Watch out people. Rod Smith might be starting at QB for the Broncos this week.

[Kahran Ramsus 0]

In other news Rob Johnson has been released by Washington. Maybe Denver could pick him up.

The Denver running backs better not forget their work boots this Sunday...
