Jeb isn't fast but he makes the key plays and performance is more important than potential just ask (Ryan Leaf and Kurt Warner)! Anyways Scheffler needs about a year to catch up!

I can think of 2 passes in the Oakland game that hit him in the hands that he dropped. Hopefully he isn't this years Darius Watts and will come out of it because he has huge potential. He already blocks better than Putzier used to and is faster, now all he has to do is start hanging onto the ball when it comes to him, if it is in reach. Jake needs to be a little more precise on his passes too, but the line is more at fault for not giving him time than Jake is himself. He is having to just throw the ball away to beat the rush way too often. Sheffler probably just needs time to adjust.

IN years past the TE has been a main part of the O, part of the trifecta, yet in their rookie years NONE have performed. Not even Sharpe. Are we expecting to much from him? Was he over hyped like every TE that has hit the since since Sharpe was a pup. NOT to sure about how much we will see out of this kid this year, so far thrown to 13 times TWO catches, 15 YARDS.

Shanny is clearly holding back. He is holding back more and longer because the D is letting him. Jake and Javon have connected, Tatum is stronger and confident, Rod is so rested he is barely in game shape(kidding). San Francisco could score more points than the Broncos have on some good Shanny scripts. I expect a good script after halftime in Cleveland and some Jake tune up passes. Jake will throw less than 10 picks this year. Indy has no D and no Eddgerin, Pitt. won one for the Bus and is running on 2 flats. S.D.'s 1st year Q.B. will hand Broncos D a few big plays. Seattle will be frozen and slow, and Cincy can't even spell defense. Shanny won't have to target any teams impact player until the playoffs unless he wants to. This D wants to intimidate more than 97's D wanted to win one for John. Time to win one for Pat. 7 receptions to Bronco tight ends in 5 games, using variations of the screen pass to get 3 or 4 yards on 3rd down. Shanny is clearly holding back.

Jeb and House were key last year in making some important 1st downs / TDs to keep drives going. Don't see that yet this year.

There have three different occasions where Tony was running wide open down the middle of the field and Plummer missed him. That said, the fact that he is still getting on the field must mean he is able to block well.... Hopefully he can get off a bit this weekend, because it would be nice to have the tight end back in the offensive attack against the Colts and Steelers...

The only two games Jake threw more than 30 passes was against Kansas City and New England in which he threw 173 and 256 respectively. Those were the only games in which Shanahan felt the urgency to throw the ball since the St. Louis meltdown. Many people complain about how the Broncos offense is horrible and they don't know whats up but Shanahan hasn't really thrown out any new plays since last year. My guess is that next week the same thing will happen against the browns and plummer wont hit 20 passes then when we hit Indianapolis Denver will whip out an actual offense attack against them You shouldn’t worry about sheffler to much we just haven’t passed much.
