thanks X, here are some interesting quotes from the link as well:
Quote:
(on DT Amobi Okoye making progress) “He’s grown up. He’s a much more mature kid. He’s an effort player, down in and down out, right now which is something I wouldn’t say he was last year so that’s something he has corrected. But he’s got a lot more maturity about him as we move forward. He’s a better player.”
(on the progress of the rookies) “It’s amazing. You look at (Antwaun) Molden. You look at (Xavier) Adibi. The young tackle, Duane (Brown). The progress they have made, they’ve made it because they’ve gotten reps. It’s almost like their first training camp before they’ve ever been to one in a lot of ways. We had some great work with them mentally. I would say those kids are – I don’t want to say any further ahead than some of the ones we have had in the past, but they are every bit as close to them. Hopefully, they’ll help our team like our young guys have had in the past.”

if molden, adibi, and brown come in and contribute like our "young guys from the past" that would be one amazing lift to the team. and if amobi is making the type of progress he keeps getting hyped up to making our d'line is going to be fierce!
kravix-who else has kubiak given this much of a chance to? personally i don't see anything wrong with a little loyalty ESPECIALLY from a head coach. i think it gives our team a little more in the identity department than most other teams. loyalty can be overdone obviously, but i think we are safe with kubiak.
on spencer specifically i think kubiak may still see what was so overwhelmingly awesome or else it would be over already. that or kubiak feels bad for ruining what was about to be a dominate career so he's giving him a year or two more of pay as a "i'm sorry the best runningback i could get a hold of was ron dayne and he tomahawked your leg" kind of under the table deal. EDIT: i still think big spence is done but there are all types of careers in the NFL that don't include being on the field.
