Skilly Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Denver contemplating bringing in Rice I like this idea. The only part of it I have a problem with is where they talk about more 4 receiver sets. What, you're going to give Plummer MORE chances to throw int's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAUgrad Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Not a bad idea except that Rice is phenominally slow and can't get open any more. Other than that I think it's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomicCEO Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 This is still in the works... local news was reporting it this morning. I like it. Can he still get up to a moderate speed, make a cut, catch a ball, and fall down? I smell a third down catch for a first and 10. Like Easy Ed without the vicious hit and fear for his life...

Egret Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Is Rice changing to defensive back and playing for another team? He might get more TDs from Plummer that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncosn05 Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 I hope you guys already knew this but the reason Rice wants Denver is that Shanahan was the Offensive Coordinator for the 49s during that dynasty. But either way it goes Rice will always be a 49er in my mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duchess Jack Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Rod deserves 80. Great story. I agree on the comment that he would make a great third down back. As for the folk saying that he should retire - they should worry about their own careers and let Rice worry about his. So long as someone is willing to sign him and he is enjoying himself - why shouldn't he keep playing. There are far worse people in the league with jobs.

Azazello1313 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 #80 in orange and blue belongs to rod smith, period. i don't think that will even be an issue. i like this because it actually really fills a need for the broncos. i think jerry's good for 30 catches and 5 TDs this year.

So long as someone is willing to sign him and he is enjoying himself - why shouldn't he keep playing. There are far worse people in the league with jobs. 822164[/snapback] This is true, but as for me, I would rather remember the greatest WR in history in his prime, setting records and winning championships, instead of watching an aging superstar struggle to make the team and play as a 4th WR. #80 in orange and blue belongs to rod smith, period. i don't think that will even be an issue. i like this because it actually really fills a need for the broncos. i think jerry's good for 30 catches and 5 TDs this year. 822191[/snapback] According to ESPN, Rice will be trying to earn a spot as the 4th WR, behind Smith, Lelie, and Watts. They are not going to impede the progress of the 2 young wideouts, Lelie and Watts, just because he is Jerry Rice. Per the EPSN story: Over the 10 seasons in which Shanahan has been head coach, the No. 4 wide receivers in Denver have averaged just 6.6 catches. The third wide receiver spot, a longtime problem area for the Broncos, has averaged only 19.2 catches in that stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broncosn05 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 he should play as long as he wants to. 822819[/snapback] 1 more year is the contract he has received and his agent released also that he has no plans for returning next season. But really he is just trying to expand the numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
