Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 3099916, member: 8988"] It has always been the broncos way to build a core and recruit for deficiencies. The Titans, unfortunately, recruit stars and try and fit up-and-coming players around them. By doing this they sometimes alienate good young players and leave them floundering in the lower grade or out of position, whilst the stars seem to have little serious competition as there is supposed "need" to get the most out of their "investment". I think it is an unhealthy way to run a team, based on a CEO's effort to quickly turn around a club's financial predicament. I guess the thought is the fans will come and see the "stars". What they really want to see is their guys giving it occasionally to the big boys down the road. Every time the Titans or Cowboys knocked off my Broncos, fans would pop out of the woodwork from everywhere to tell me so. You need to build a club's success on more than that, but a regional rivalry is a good place to start. Think of what it did to revive league in this state with the origin concept. It doesn't mean they have to win every time but if they can at least compete and show grit, they would find themselves a few new fans if only for the anti-broncos sentiment out there. Maybe thats what tallis is trying do with his occassional outbursts? Could he be putting some "skin in the game" that way? [/QUOTE]
