The way that McDaniels formulated his deactivation in the Broncos press conference, makes you think the two of them are back to square one.

Given how he might have helped them reach the playoffs, there's a very strong possibility he might not be there next season.

I think he's a very solid receiver, but I'm afraid he is making the most out of his nickname "Baby-TO", so I would rather not have us pick him up.

This is what ESPN Insider had to say dated Jan 1st, 10:21AM

UPDATE: Word came out Friday afternoon that Denver Broncos head coach Josh McDaniel benched Brandon Marshall for Sunday's key game versus the Kansas City Chiefs, but not because of his sore hamstring.

"Our word for the week has been accountability, McDaniel said. "And we're looking to put the 45 guys on the field on Sunday that want to play together, want to help us try to win and qualify for the playoffs ... And anybody that showed any indifference to that, we'll play without them."

UPDATE: ESPN.com's Adam Schefter learned from a Broncos team source friday that Marshall will be available for Sunday's regular season finale, despite a sore hamstring that kept him out of practice Thursday.

Denver still has a slight chance to make the playoffs with a win over Kansas City and a lot of help -- a lot of help.

The CBS affiliate in Denver reported Wednesday that Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall sustained an injury to his hamstring during the early portion of practice, and limped from the field afterwards.

Referring to my above post, my how things change from day to day.

Found this on ESPN Home page just now:

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Just when they finally patched things up, Brandon Marshall and Josh McDaniels are back to square one, and another reconciliation appears farfetched.

McDaniels announced Friday he's benching Marshall, his Pro Bowl wide receiver, for the team's pivotal season finale against Kansas City on Sunday.

"Our word for the week has been accountability. And we're looking to put the 45 guys on the field on Sunday that want to play together, want to help us try to win and qualify for the playoffs," McDaniels said. " ... And anybody that showed any indifference to that, we'll play without them."

Marshall suggested he couldn't have played anyway after pulling his right hamstring at practice this week.

In an extraordinary half-hour at Dove Valley, McDaniels insinuated on the podium that Marshall was exaggerating the extent of his injury and was unaccountable to the team. The Pro Bowl receiver responded from his locker by noting McDaniels never played in the NFL and hinting he might be getting called out by his coach because the Broncos' season is unraveling.

Since a sizzling 6-0 start, the Broncos have gone 2-7.

      So you think that the play is solely Bryce's fault and that all 31 other QBs turn that play into a passing TD in spite of an incorrect route from WR1, immediate blindside pressure, a lazy route on the opposite side, and WR2 not on the same page as the QB? That's a lot of oversimplification just to be able to blame one player.

      Is Tepper going to clean the house again after this season?

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      The thing with cleaning house… who the hell wants to actually work for Tepper?! What good coach with options would take that gig? There are literally 31  better teams to work for…. This is the WORST place for a coach to work… and it’s not even close. Auto-firing staff after 1-2 years will only make things worse.  If candidates know they are going to be auto-fired when being dumped in to an impossible situation, then why even apply? Tepp has to show candidates that he’s calmed the f down. The best thing is for him to not make any major franchise decisions for a while.  Just imagine where we would be right now with Wilks, Darnold, Foreman, Luvu, Moore,  the king’s ransom they were offered for Burns and the picks they traded away for Young… tell me with a straight face that blowing all of that up was the right move compared to where we are today. Wilks and Darnold were bridges to a better place.  My point being, EVERY major franchise decision from Tepp has been a disaster. He blows everything up, even if it shows signs of potential. He has refused to hire a ‘my way or no way’ type coach with proven NFL success.  I promise you he doesn’t have a friend in the entire building.  besides changing out Evero who has been given years to make it work, this is the best case scenario for the foreseeable future until the next draft. I don’t think Canales is the right coach for the job, but tying him to Young isn’t fair. He deserves at least another season with his own guy that he chooses.

      Yeah, he did. But what absolutely killed any chance of success is that our QB panicked and sailed the ball through the endzone uncatchable. That's why the focus is on that. Why do we need to do all these mental gymnastics to keep trying to come up with excuses to cover for the worst starting QB in the NFL over the past three years? What else do we kneed to see from him to admit he ain't ir? You don't trade up to #1 overall to draft a QB that needs everything to go perfectly to succeed. You're doing that because you think you're drafting a guy who can carry an offense.
