loaf Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 With Cutler stepping into the starting QB gig, does this bump up the value of Kircus for the next few games...? Who has been the practicing WR with Cutler? Ya know how when a new QB takes over, a new WR sees increased action and that's usually the WR that's been practicing with him. Thoughts?

wiegie Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Thoughts? My thought is that David Kircus comes from one of west Michigan's Top-10 institutions of higher learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 when Brandon Marshall takes over.....maybe next year? maybe Smith will retire....but, Marshall and Walker could be a nasty duo with the talent Walker has and the reps that Marshall has....and then Kircus could be sort of like a stokley/Curtis type..

CD6405 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Realistically....how often is Kircus going to be on the field to be useful? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I don't have much to add, but I know Kircus was a sleeper pick in a lot of dynasty drafts a few years back. I picked him in one league, but he never amounted to anything in Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Kircus & Scheffler were favorite targets of Cutler in preseason - and Cutler has enough arm to reach Kircus on deep routes and Scheffler on deep out patterns. It'll be interesting to watch the pecking order develop with the receivers in DEN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azazello1313 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 My thought is that David Kircus comes from one of west Michigan's Top-10 institutions of higher learning. there's 10? cutler has a lot of rapport with brandon marshall as well, coming in together as rooks and everything. and marshall is more likely to see balls thrown his way than kircus at this point, IMO. but heck with those guys #3, #4 guys anyway, i'm just wondering if cutler makes rod smith a startable fantasy WR again.

rajncajn Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 there's 10? High school is considered "higher education" in Michigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furd Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Three things come to mind in assessing Kircus' value: 1) Rookie QB 2) #3 WR 3) Kircus ain't that good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiegie Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 3) Kircus ain't that good Your opinion of him is biased because he played for the Lions and nobody who plays for the Lions is ever any good (Barry Sanders excluded). Kircus does have the NCAA all-division record for touchdowns in a single-season (and he also has the #2 ranking on that list as well). You can't get those records by being bad.

broncosn05 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Kircus is a joke but Scheffler has the potential to come on strong this year and be an elite starting TE next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco Billy Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Three things come to mind in assessing Kircus' value: 1) Rookie QB 2) #3 WR 3) Kircus ain't that good Something that also comes to mind when assessing Kircus' potential: Shanahan took a lanky white WR who had been a complete bust with 2 other teams and turned him into a WR who progressively got better until he turned in 3 consecutive 1000+ yd seasons: Ed McCaffrey. During preseason (I know, I know, it's only preseason) Cutler definitely established some very strong mojo with Kircus. There is something to be said for a WR when a QB, especially a young QB, finds a WR that he trusts. I'm not saying Kircus is going to start turning in 100 yd games. I do think he has the potential & ability to be a factor in the DEN O as long as Cutler is the QB. The same goes for Scheffler, if he is activated. Scheffler is also Cutler's roomie on the road, for some additional useless info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he is playing against my Hawks D, who has been awful of late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuke'em ttg Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 i have a David Kircus Rookie autograph card........$15 bucks or best offer....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 Kircus, Marshall, whoever. I was just wondering who you think might be the one to garner the looks from Cutler. Point being is that it's hardly ever the current #1 or #2... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuke'em ttg Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 i don't think Kircus is so bad.......seems like he's always goin balls out everytime he gets the ball, and i think the practice team theory is valid....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CD6405 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Come on though, Ed McCaffrey had some black in him. Kircus does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 (edited) Come on though, Ed McCaffrey had some black in him. Kircus does not. Who knew Michael Irvin posted here... Edit: And from what I saw, Kircus is more of a deep threat, whereas guys like Easy Ed, Stokley and Curtis are more slot-type, quick slant pattern WRs.
