What could have been...

How would he have proven he could run in any other system if all he has played in is the Denver system?
Also, you may not have realized, but Bell was #1 in rushing yards in the AFC before this week started, after this week, he's 3rd.

Champ just wanted consistancy in coaching staff (which we have), and too much money. Yes, I'd still like to have Champ around. We could use him right now...but for that money he's not worth it and Denver will figure it out.

That being said, I there needs to be caps on player salaries. Someone like Champ can't possibly stay with the team that drafted him. Salary cap implications keep that from occuring. Or maybe have a draft benefit to the cap. Like we could pay him 10 mil (for instance) and it only count 5 mil to to the cap as a salary cap benefit for drafting him.

Ps- I do like that Jones-Drew kid (jac) from UCLA. He kind of reminds me of Barry Sanders. When was he drafted?

2nd round. 59th pick or something.
