The nursery rhyme goes something like this:

Jack be nimble
Jack be Quick
Jack jumped over a candlestick

I live in Denver, Colorado and I am a huge Denver Broncos fan.  The great thing about a Blog is that you can write about whatever you want to write about, and this morning I have had enough of Josh McDaniels (or however it is spelled – honestly I don’t care).

Josh isn’t nimble
Josh isn’t quick
But Josh sure does know how to use a stick

A wise man once said, in order to get people to follow you, you either need a carrot or a stick.  It is obvious that the only thing in Josh McDaniels arsonal is the stick, and I have not seen any good results from the way he uses it.  When this guy came to town he traded a Pro Bowl quarterback for some draft choices.  One of his draft choices was used for a Safety that we have not seen all season.  The other draft pick was used on Knowshaun Moreno, who has done a decent job, but still isn’t as good as our fourth string fullback Peyton Hillis.  Unfortunately for Hillis, he was drafted by Shanahan, which is why he will never see the playing field.

Josh Mc Daniels is supposed to be an offensive genius, but the only reason the Broncos have had any success this season is because of our defense.  You know the part of the team that Josh has nothing to do with.  Our defensive success is totally because of our new defensive coordinator.  Our 2008 offense that was second in total yards last year – is now the anemic weak spot of the entire team.

So let’s give Josh his first year grades:

Draft Choices (the reason Shanahan was let go) “D”
Two of his draft choices were relevant this year Robert Ayers and Knowshawn Moreno.  Ayers was a solid draft pick, and Knowshawn will be good, but still not as good as what we had.

Offensive Improvement – “F”
We went from second overall to a weak sputtering dink and dunk style that is boring and ugly.

Special Teams – “B”
There was a big improvement, but have still looked bad at times

Defense - “A”
Not Josh McDaniels doing – credit the defense to Mike Nolan, the defensive coordinator

Now back to the stick.  Last week Brandon Marshal sustained a ham string injury and was not practicing.  This is the same guy that was pressured to play last year with a torn hip muscle and was basically, lied too, by the Broncos medical staff.  This guy has also single handily carried the Broncos offense all seaon long.  And, now Josh McDaniels wants to go on televison and question the guys toughness.  Wow Josh! How insightful you are.  Let’s take all of your frustrations and attack our best offensive player, because your frustrated.  Very Leader like of you.

I am so tired of the Drama!  Everytime this guy wants to throw a tantrum he attacks one of his players in the media and the drama begins.  Personally, I think his media attacks have much more to do with making Brandon Marshal look bad.  Marshal will be getting a new contract at the end of this season with “some team” (not the Broncos) and I think Josh Mc Doom is trying to destroy his credibility.  Now that I have had an entire season with this guy at the helm I am even less impressed than I was after he let our pro-bowl quarterback go.

Call him what you want:
Josh Mc Kid
Josh Mc Doom
Josh Mc Whatever

One thing is for sure – each and every day he is becoming more and more Mc Small.  Bring back Shani!  I have had enough of this cartoon.
