Don't worry Maxipad, Raider's season is over in Sept. and then you can watch the Lakers in October.

You are correct about Darrent Williams... and Incorrect about Moss... the broken leg saved him the embarrassment of picking pine outta his ass!

He'll see some playing time this year, too. They all will. Kuper in particular will be competing for a starting position (and you had him labelled as a bust).

Kuper got his ass handed to him last season and will get more of the same this season. Clady, Kuper, Meyers & Moss all busts!

Matter of fact the only reason ya'll donk fans jumped on kupers bandwagon is because his father posts on OM... before that everyone was bitching and moaning about his play!

Kuper was a virtual rookie forced into the starting lineup due to injuries to two starters. He got some valuable experience and will be better this year for that experience. Clady hasn't even suited up yet, so it's way too early to judge him. Myers is a Texan, and Moss, while he probably won't be starting, will be in the rotation.

Kuper was a virtual rookie and played like one. It takes a while for a lineman to develop into his full potential. But then, you knew that.

Doesn't matter... you donkey fans did the same thing to Gallery and any other pick we had that didn't work in the first year. The truth is Al Davis has been more successful than the rat faced donkey or sundquist or whom ever!

Yes, it does matter, Max. Anyway, there's no comparison because Gallery was taken #2 overall in the draft and expectations are much higher for a #2 overall than they are for a guy taken 161st.

That crap doesn't play here Blue... the fugger played... stunk it up and he's a typical shannabust pick. No matter what round... Kuper made the final 53! It's one thing if a player gets cut before the final 53 its another when you make the team and then stink it up! the had several drafts where all of the players selected flat out sucked! He drafted him because he thought he had potential to make the team better... He got put into the lineup and he stinks. It's another shannabust pick!

Furthermore, Max... Gallery is your best O-lineman, imho. He draws a lot of yellow flags and therefore hasn't lived up to his hype, but I'd like you to show me where "I" dissed him after he'd been in the league only 2 seasons. Not other Broncos fans; I'm not responsible for anyone's posts but my own.

Kuper is developing nicely, I think... and will eventually start for some NFL franchise, whether that's the Broncos or some other team. For that matter, can you call George Foster or Tatum Bell a "bust" if they start for Detoilet? We got a good return for players who would have struggled to make our roster.

Was Andrew Walter a "bust"? Taken in the 3rd round at #69 overall and billed as your QBOTF, to say he's a disappointment is an understatement. How about Marques Tuiasosopo? He was taken in the 2nd round; #59 overall... same story but different reason (injuries). Perhaps Fabien Washington (round 1; #23)? He certainly has not lived up to expectations.....

Hell yeah you can call them busts. Tatum Bell was in a ZBS and couldn't get a grand for the donkeys... he's a bust! You didn't see me call Mike Anderson a bust did you! Yeah, kuper is developing into a nice bust. He couldn't tell you which way was up if he was flat on his back... and he was on it a lot!

Fabian Washington is on the same level as Dre Bly... Tui is a bust... Walter Has not played enough games to be judged... However, when judging QB's there is a different criteria. Ole backfoot has played and started more games than Tui and Walter and he's not out of the Bust range yet!

I don't think I dissed Gallery... other than to note that he draws the flag a lot.

Mike Anderson was a solid RB in our offensive scheme. And I think the jury's still out on Kuper. I wouldn't trade you Bly straight across the board for Washington. Tui is a bust due to injury. Walter was incapable of winning the starting job over the likes of Culpepper and McCown, which makes him a certified bust.

According to my List over 80% of CEB's picks are busts!
