I don’t see Jax trading for Tebow and using him as QB since they drafted Gabbert…
We trade him for MDJ.
I’d loved to have seen the look on my cousin’s face when the Faders lost the game and the AFC West title,at least we won the AFC West title!
Even if we lose to Pitt,at least we went from worst to first in the division!
All 4 teams had a chance to win the division 2 weeks ago.
LMAO @ brian, hahahaha.
MJD..I think you meant MJD.
Maurice Jones-Drew, you had to make me spell it out, LOL.
Would love it, but remember that Tebow’s stock might be at an all time low right now…. Doubt Jax would do that.. The idea is to sell high and buy low.. A lot of football has to with getting the most value out of players, whether it be on the field on via compensation.. A lot of this goes back to having a GM that goes for the jugular…
3rd overall in the score prediction contest, haaaa, life is good….
Rumor is Jacksonville is still looking to draft a QB in the 1st round,so I guess they’ve already given up on Gabbert,I knew he wasn’t as good as they said he was,he had like 16 tds and 9 ints his senior year.That is pathetic #s for a 1st round draft choice!
I will say this though, I think Fox is starting to become more and more like McD. He’s becoming predictable and he isn’t straying away from his so called “stall ball” style. He needs to adapt and change some things up, which I know is hard when you have a QB that can’t pass the ball well. Again, curls, quick slants, and screens something to get the ball out of Tebow’s hands quickly. Teams aren’t even considering that we might pass it on 3rd down. We’re the definition of being one dimensional.
Maybe we can trade him back to McD for Bradford?
Problem is Tebow doesn’t get the ball out of his hands quickly, EVER, LOL.
Yeah, a quick slant turns into a drag route LOL!
Except in fumbles, haha.
Alot of teams are looking for a QB, and with Barkley not coming out, the top tier guys will be at a premium..
I must admit, it is kind of ironic that the colts have the #1 overall pick, right when Elway is pulling the strings for Denver…
Well that means gabBert doesn’t get the 35 game try out either.
Yeah, the Luck to Denver thing is not dead, the Colts still have Manning and are hurting at so many positions they could very well be enticed to trade with Denver for a handful of picks.
I’m thinking…….
This is all Lindsey Vonns fault!!!!!!!!!
Just think about it. Tim was all Juiced up for six weeks all culminating in the sightings of Vonn hanging around with the Tebows….hummm?
Next thing you know Lindsy isn’t around and then Tim looks like he is in a trance on the sideline…..
Did Lindsy break Tims…ahem,,, concentration?
Does anybody remember Romo’s distraction when he had Jessica Simpson and then Carrie Underwood up in the stands??
Wow,,,,, Jessica and Carrie, both in their prime! That Romo is one lucky dude!!!!!!
35 game try out, that’s something of the past, Jaworski is an old man like me, he said that, things aren’t like that in the NFL anymore, instant gratifications society now, players and coaches are extremely lucky if they are given a full two years to prove themselves.
From what I know about Luck is that his father has a lot of say in the decision.. Another thing I know is Stanford is an elite University, and guys from places like that tend to stay together, and have a strong bond.. I can see Luck’s dad saying he wants his son to go to a place where he knows they have his best interests in mind…..
It’s Jessie James’ fault for Decker, now it’s Lindsey Vonn’s fault for Tebow. Sex and football don’t mix, LOL.
I do believe we may very well end up with luck. Elway will make sure of it. He hangs out at Stanford games an awful lot
Last thing about Luck… It wasn’t like the Colts wanted to trade Elway, he forced it.. Luck, not the Colts, really holds the cards..
Ha! See, I knew it wasn’t Christmas! LOL!!!!!!!
I have nothing agaisnt faith of any kind, Christian faith or any other, but the way Tebow was completely ignoring the field on the sidelines praying out loud on his knee before his last drive came out as an embarrassment and a joke to me, I don’t care what anyone will say about all that, totally out of place and out of sort for that situation on a football field. Wait for the end of the game to do that, don’t ask the Lord for football wins, he doesn’t care!
Last I heard this morning the point spread for this weeks game has us down by only 8 points. I find that really hard to believe.
new blog.
And the Tebow fans will say, he wasn’t praying for a football win, blah blah blah, whatever.
Sorry OC, I just went back to the Christmas thing, LMAO!
I lied, one more.. Lol. It also might take a monumental move like bringing in Andrew Luck in order for our fan base to accept moving on w/o Tebow..
Elway graduated from Stanford with a degree in economics – time to put that degree to work and go get one your own! Lol
LMBO!!!
I’m glad we can agree and disagree and go back and fourth on things and never lose our friendship…..
Bronc On Bro!!
