Free agency have started with the NFL and with the Bronco's losing their legendary QB on Monday to retirement and then lose the back up QB yesterday to free agency.. There is a huge upheaval about that.. But when you look at it from another perspective you get where he is coming from.. First, he never got the playing time he likely thought he should have gotten.. In games that were decided he could have come in and played a little.. He got to start 7 games this year and won some but in the games he lost the offense was stagnant, and that is his job to get the ball moved.. Well after Manning played in the second half of the Chargers game and getting the win that put the Broncos in the playoffs as the first seat they got a home bye the first weekend.. Now Brock is, in my opinion, a fairly decent backup QB, but maybe not a starter, and everyone thought we were set at QB for the next year.. Except for one thing, he wanted to be paid better than the brain trust wanted to pay him.. I agree with the brain trust, seven mediocre starts didn't deserve a huge pay day.. They wanted him to settle for $45 million over three seasons, and he thought he deserved more.. Guess again.. I heard radio sports guys say they thought he should stay in Denver for three seasons and prove himself worthy of that big pay day.. I felt the same way.. But then look at it from his perspective.. He helped the team win the title this year albeit in a backup roll that was less than stellar, he was just alright, better than nothing and thankfully they didn't have to ride his performance into the playoffs.. He likely didn't want to follow the legendary QB, knowing as he does that he doesn't have the skill set that Manning does or ever will.. Manning could read defenses and their intent and was very rarely wrong.. He did get sacked but most of those were on the offensive line not getting their blocks.. Brock can read defenses but can't read their intent... It is easy to confuse him.. They will be happy with him in Houston in the preseason this season because no one plays their defense during the preseason.. Then opening day will hit and he will be lost.. I predict Houston will limp into the playoffs this coming season with a very well paid backup QB..
My "old" Facebook page, As I have said in a previous entry, I have control over it again, and was going to keep it mostly because of my niece page but.. I have decided to delete it.. Mostly because there could be a lot of confusion about having two FB pages.. I have little reservation about this being a bad move.. It's just time.. I mean I thought I lost the page anyway and thought Tuesday I would for shits and giggles give it a look see to see if it could be revived.. The problem is I was sure it was gone and when I got it back in my control I was going to delete it.. So I did a new password that I wasn't even paying attention to what it was, but I thought the browser I was on committed it to memory.. It didn't so I had to get another new password yesterday and that was pretty much going to be the day I was going to shut it down.. But because of a previous commitment I could only write on my timeline that i would shut it down today.. Which won't happen because I'm gonna be playing in the yard today.. Tomorrow it will be shut down and my new Facebook will have a few things done to it to identify it as the new my FB.. One glaring new thing will be my real name.. the other is it will be deleted as well... Only joking.. i think.. But sure. That is what will be there.. My real name.. But the main picture will also be changed.. I did an entry here yesterday showing how I did the picture that I used.. I have some dozen or so versions of that picture, you know my motto, if one is good a dozen is better.. So there will be quite a few on there over the next while.. Until I come up with another idea..
