:laughing2 No s**t. He didn't even want to play through an injury when the playoffs were on the line. Of course I guess that's not as bad as going to a basketball game on a bad ankle. :laughing-
If I remember correctly he was hurt to the point where he didn't want to hurt the team. Marshall lines up and plays just about every week and rarely gets hurt At least he doesn't flop around on the field week after week like a fish out of water cause he's tired and out of shape.

Do you have any proof that Shanahan wanted to cut him? All I'm saying is Marshall does things that 90% of the NFL wr's can't do. Calling him "above average" is just ridiculous. I've seen the guy play and just by watching him he's a stud. Runs like a RB after the catch, has good hands and he has the ability to take over games, he's physical...he's everything our offense needs. Your argument comparing Marshall to Edwards is just silly. We'll just agree to disagree.
No one has "proof" because it did not happen. But conflicts between Shanny and Marshall were widely reported over the course of months.

We don't know if Marshall was faking it or not. He hurt his hamstring. IMO he should've done everything he could've to be out there. But you've also got to realize that Denver is low balling the guy and paying him peanuts. Imagine going to your job everyday and you're the best guy on your job yet most of the other employees there are making more than you. It would piss you off too. Right? Now some of it he's bought on himself but IMO he deserves a new deal.

That has actually happened. I gave my 2 week notice and continued to do my job to the best of my ability and even offered my services part-time until I got on my feet with my own business. If I sign a contract, I plan on fulfilling it to the best of my ability until the contract is up. I wouldn't make an ass out of myself and disrupt practice like a child. BM has also been suspended by the league which has nothing to do with his contract. It's hard to be a baller and contribute to your team when you're not allowed to play because of illegal activity off the field. I don't even like Portis's diva BS, I sure don't want Marshall's.

Just saying it's odd that you support Marshall when you've been super critical of a bunch of other guys in the past. You have to admit he's one of the bigger drama queens in the league.

i support his ability on the field. what i don't like is the way the guy acts. he's got a lot fo growing up to do but i think he is worth the risk.
