I Forgive You, Brandon Marshall (For Now!)

I have been very critical of both Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall. I have said that Denver doesn’t need Brandon Marshall (especially if he is going to be a distraction and not get on board with the new look Broncos). I never said that Denver couldn’t use him though.

I think Broncos fans were blown away by the emotional ending to Sunday’s game, considering that many thanks were owed to Brandon Marshall, a young man who has seemed more like a cancer this season than one of the league’s top receivers. Brandon jumped up and caught a well-thrown pass from Kyle Orton that only Brandon could get to on the right sideline and the brilliance that he has shown in games past returned.
Marshall dodged defenders, started moving toward the center of the field, cut back toward the right at the perfect moment, and ran the rest of the way into the end zone. This was Marshall’s first touchdown reception of the season.
By all appearances, the situation seems to be improving with the relationship between Brandon Marshall and Josh McDaniels. Brandon Marshall came and gave the first-year coach a big hug during McDaniels’ post game press conference. Maybe winning solves everything. Maybe.
I cannot predict what will happen with Brandon Marshall for the remainder of the season. He may be growing up. He may not. I don’t know. But, for now, I like what I see, and I welcome back the Brandon Marshall we saw on Sunday with open arms. I still hold to my belief that the Broncos don’t need that other guy.
