imgonnawin Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Sure their is a lot of distraction and tension surrounding Marshall. But when it comes down to actually playing the game, assuming he takes the field, what do people expect from him. He's a low risk/high reward player now that he is dropping in the rankings with all of his shenanigans but McD had encouraging words before the start of the game about getting Marshall back and playing for the start of the season. It's obvious this team doesn't move the ball very well without him so far this preseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 assuming he takes the field A lot of people are not making that assumption. McD had encouraging words before the start of the game about getting Marshall back and playing for the start of the season. McGruber says a lot of stuff. I tend not to believe much at all.

cdrudge Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 He's a low risk/high reward player now that he is dropping in the rankings...New coach, new quarterback, new system. I wouldn't say low risk, high reward. I would say moderately high risk, mediocre reward. Even once he gets back, it's not like he's going to have great chemistry with Orton (or Simms). I personally scratch him off my draft sheet before the draft even begins just on his prima donna attitude about his contract, let alone all his team issues and suspension.

LayLow Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I don't see him being worth much at all...as he needs nearly 200 balls thrown his way to make an impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samson Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Greatly talented head cases can vanish for a year or two. Brandon Marshall's showing all those signs. What positive factors (that are still in place) would lead you to want this guy on your team? Nearly everything about his situation is worse this year and mostly dramatically worse. Stay away from this turd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay away from this turd. I may be in this boat alone, but I am expecting a solid season from marshall as he knows that if he does not put up DECENT, not great numbers, he will miss that long term lucrative deal. I am expecting over 1,000 yards and 8 TDs. Also, Denver is going to be awful this year so you know he will get a ton of these yards in garbage time when defenses give up yards in front of them.

Skilly Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I would be very surprised if Marshall ever sees the playing field this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Muto Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) I would be very surprised if Marshall ever sees the playing field this year. I will take that bet. He will play this year. Edited August 31, 2009 by Henry Muto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheikYerbuti Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Just had a draft. I needed a wr. was torn b/t marshall and Royal. went with marshall. crossing my fingers. Wow. I'da taken Royal in a snap. Hope your gamble works out. . .I took Marshall as my WR3 in the 7th round of my local, and took plenty of backup in case he doesn't pan out.

I just figure sometimes you have to gamble to try to win. we'll see how it works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given his history of poor selfish self-destructive decisions, I'm not putting even odd of him coming back to the team with an attitude that earns him a lot of playing time. As a Denver fan I hope I'm wrong... but who cares, we're gonna lose this year anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Irish Doggy Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I would be very surprised if Marshall ever sees the playing field this year. +1/2 In Denver anyway. Can't wait for the week 1 inactive list out of Denver and the ensuing media circus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I think Marshall is going to continue to do everything and anything he can to get traded. That's not good news for BM owners - and I do own him in a dynasty league. I think his production this year comes down to how far McHoody is willing to roll up his sleeves & duke it out to get his own way. Given how badly he has been publicly roasted in the Cutler fiasco, I'd guess that he's not willing to take another black eye on this one. The risk on Marshall is starting to become astronomical this year. In a staring contest between two dumbasses, only the FFers are going to lose.
