    it seems to me that he misses the easy catches and cathces the slants in tight coverage....the TD he dropped tonight is BS and not acceptable at all, he needs to make those....Sanchez should've only have 1 incomplete pass....Edwards and Keller both dropped passes that hit them in the numbers

    That drop was epic...

    I'm wary on paying him. But the tender is perfectly cool with me.

    i agree

    i agree, he is talented, and what i noticed is that he has big hands, and usually catches high passes in which he uses his vertical leaping ability to go up and catch with his hands. hes not that good with catching under handed, like i noticed moss does most of the time. so sanchez needs to place the ball up high with a zip for him, then i believe his production will improve. he also needs t improve his timing in order to catch the ball at it high point. a few times this year he has mistimed his jumps.

    He's just got so much damn potential, you hate to even consider giving up on him. There's no reason for any of these drops, but they keep coming. We know it's all mental, he's got to fix his mindset. Lots of guys can't make the one-handed acrobatic catches he can, so it's bizarre to think that he can't be depended on to make the two-handed ones with some acceptably high percentage.

    He gets another year to get it right. I'm hopeful that he will, but only time will tell.

    I think you absoultely resign him as long as it's not an exorbitant amount of money. He's not a top 5 receiver but he's definitely top 15...and maybe even top 10. I know the drops kill but he brings so much to the table with helping the running game, he's a big target for Sanchez and he's young.

    Why would you let someone like that go if the money is reasonable?

    I'd rather have him then Brandon Marshall.

    If I see another 45 TD pass ruined because Braylon Edwards can't catch a football I'll go fucking insane. Let him walk, and sign a WR in FA.

    Ryan has done wonders coaching players up. Before giving up on him I'd like to see him go through a training camp. A tender that gives us a first and a third wouldn't be too shabby either. That would in effect mean we rented him for a bunch of games and traded a 5th for a 1st.

    No way anyone offers us a 1st and 3rd for him.

    I agree, but that way we can keep for another year without busting the bank to see if he shapes up after a year with Ryan. And if some team is crazy enough to give us the high tender, well then we've made out.

    Why would they? We didn't even offer Cleveland a 1st and a 3rd for him.

    I have a hard time believing his drops are fixable this late in his career. It just seems like he was born with bad hand-eye coordination. But unless he demands top money I want him to stay.

    Broncos FO officials will be running over each other to be the first ones to throw Tanny out of the room.

    We definitely resign him. Despite the drops the offense is stronger with him. I bet he makes up for that drop next game. Just have Cotch show him how it's done!

    Here here. Even tonight's outrageous drop opened things up downfield for the rest of the game. He's been better than I expected - attitude considered. I'll put up with a drop here and there. I like him. He's got size, speed blocks aggressively, loves it here, keep him!

    He's got a big playoff play in him yet this year.

    Definitely this. I just can't see making a judgment on him after joining the team mid-season. If he could get chemistry w/ Sanchez the potential would be huge.

    Of course it will probably come down to the $ in the end :sad:
