just wanted everybody to know how well Peyton Hillis is doing

so far he has over 1000 yards on the ground and through the air and over 10 TD's

Obviously we can now see that teams have not been giving white Halfback's a chance. Denver traded him for freakin Brady Quinn. If these teams would just see what they had with white HB's, but instead, they prefer to not 'upset the masses' by having a white guy as HB.

Denver doesn't deserve such a talented white HB as Peyton Hillis

Peyton Hillis is white? F*! And I've been playing him on my fantasy team. Now I'll have to trade him... or not.

bump!

Hillis is a beast. Im sure along the way he's had people doubt his ability as a RB or question could he compete at this level simply because he's white. It must be a thrill to prove people's stupid stereotypes and paranoid beliefs wrong. I think more whites would succeed at RB if more coaches would believe in them and stop pressuring them to be QBs when they dont want to, just to keep some myth at that position alive. Think of how many QBs in this league could've been beast at FB or RB, but their coaches stick them at QB because of some racist stereotype.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
