Only thing I like to know with all this is why did they only let tebow pass on obvious passing downs so the defense could pin there ears back and rush. The first half a 5 year old could tell when pass or run. third quarter was same but not quite as bad. You cant have a young QB and only let him pass when everyone knows its coming.

Here is something I wanted to include in my 2:36 post but it got too long. Trent Dilfer said what stops players from being the best they can be is bad fundamentals. Trent was a hard working player who was beloved by his teammates and of course won a championship with the Ravens, but he is not an HOF quarterback. If I was in his position I wouldn’t want to believe that there is someone who could come in with more mechanics problems than I did and outwork me to become far better than I ever was. Dilfer is the spokesperson for a lot of analysts in that way. Merill Hoge couldn’t overcome his issues to even become a memorable running back in the league. They don’t want to believe someone can do something they couldn’t do. And that is perfectly understandable.
But watch this link about Michael Jordan playing minor league baseball. He completely changed his mechanics and accomplished things mid season that takes players who have played the game all their lives 3 or 4 years to do. When you hear everyone talk about his work ethic and how he did it tell me you haven’t heard people say the exact same things about Tebow. The unfair fact is not every pro has true greatness in them and guys like Jordan and Tebow have the desire and ability to work harder than most others could or probably even should.

What if we fired McCoy and brought in Urban Meyer as our offensive coordinator? Not gonna happen? Oh well haha.

A win is a win guys. 55min of horrible football happened. Deal with it. The point is that we played our best when it mattered and we escaped with a win. Can we do that every week? Of course not. But we can only get better. Let’s just enjoy what Tebow brings to the table. Because next year he might pick up his plate full of 4th quarter heroics and hope and sit with another Team. We just won in a very improbable way. Let’s celebrate. Because we haven’t been winning a whole lot lately.

And also, Urban Meyer didn’t quit college coaching because he wanted to step up to the big leagues. He wants to spend time with his family and watch HIS kids play sports and support them. Urban talking to Tebow and to the Dolphins owner on the day that his 2008 Gators were being honored is pretty far from “eerie” imo.

I agree I think we would have givin them a tumble either way they are paper good.Hill did do good last year but I doubt hes gotten much reps as of late .Not to beat a dead horse (pun intended)Orton like Hill was good last year to . I think if our D plays like it has and Tim gets off to an EARLY good start this could get interesting. Not sure those big guys on Detroit’s line can keep their Air in the MILE HI city chasing Tim for 4 quarters.

Ok well I have got a few things. First, Bay split up people into neat categories based on how they feel about Tebow. There is a category that got left out. It’s the die hard Broncos fans who see something special in Tebow and believe that he might prove to be the guy who can lead our BELOVED BRONCOS to greatness. I am one of them. I won’t give any bold proclamations on when or how or truly even if it will happen for sure. But I will implore the Broncos organization to give Tim a fair shot.
Do I get categorized with all the cooks predicting a world championship this year with little to no articulation? Am I swept into some group of “blind” Tebow believers who’s belief is going to somehow set the Broncos back a decade?
I really don’t think so. I think I bring a lot of things to the table that bring legitimate insight onto the situation and there are others like me who believe for the right reasons and our opinions get dismissed along with the pure tebowmaniacs. I am a Broncomaniac who believes Tim can be that guy that we can hang our hat on and help lead the Broncos to sustained pride once again.
I am not an avid watcher of college football so when we drafted him I knew very little about him. I was stationed in Florida for most of my time in the Navy so I saw a few games he played him. I saw the 2006 BCS championship when he played behind Chris Leak. I saw the 2008 Championship he won. I was aware he was a Heisman trophy winner. That was about it. Honestly I listened to all the skeptics and initially that was the attitude I had toward him – very skeptical.
The I watched the outside the lines special about him. How he could outlift everyone on the Nease high school football team. How he lead them to their first state championship. I watched how heavily recruited he was by nearly every D-1 college (not just the ones that used the spread offense) and the comparisons every recruiter made between him and Steve Young. Then I watched his speech dubbed “The Promise” and witnessed how he made good on that promise for the 2008 Gators. I looked at his passing numbers, and his records he set in the SEC and for the NCAA. He threw 2 less touchdowns than Peyton Manning in his college career AND broke Herschel Walkers rushing record with 57 more. I was a believer. Nothing I have seen him do in the NFL, preseason or regular season has swayed that belief.
In his first NFL start he breaks the franchise record for longest run. It just so happens our franchise had one of the greatest mobile quarterbacks of all time. His second NFL start he leads the team to his first fourth quarter comeback. He plays San Diego to within 5 points and makes the came come down to the last play. He comes out in second half this year and brings it down to 5 points and has us one throw away from winning AGAIN! And in his fourth start in the NFL the man leads the team to do the unprecedented. Never has a team over come a deficit of 15+ with less than three minutes since the AFL and NFL merged in 1970.
I fully realize he played the worst game of his short NFL career up until about the last five minutes of the game. To me that makes the comeback even more impressive, and if anything he has the team believing in each other and believing they can win. We are a different team now and no one can deny that. I never saw Champ and Dawk on the sidelines telling Orton “We’re gonna get you the ball back. We believe in you. Believe in us.”
All he has to do is improve as a passer in the NFL and be more consistent. Something that gets taken for granted that the top college prospects can do but for some reason Tim can’t. Why can’t he?

A rookie was blocking his blindside so I aint mad … Franklin tried … and I believe he was going against wake.

wildhorses, I think Stafford will be out … both a knee and ankle injury … even if he plays he wont be 100 percent … they are getting an MRI or somethign later this week which means I doubt he will be practicing this week. That might help us but if u saw last year … shaun hill and stanton did pretty good in his stead. I don’t believe the Lions are all that … clearly better than us … but they aint all that IMO.

Man so close yet so far on the score prediction.

It’s a little shocking to me all this drama going off on the boards. I mean we won. Nothing else matters, and everything else will be answered by time.

What’s the point? We won, but bloggers are dragging out more drama than I have seen after our worst losses.

TRB agreed mostly…. the thing you left off some of not all but some Tim was getting drilled as he threw some of those arrant passes. most QB’s wouldn’t have even been as close falling backwards but hes a strong guy.FULLY AGREE timing is the key and your only get that with reps.and will only get better .As a whole ill give Tim a c- and the line a D+in pass pro B- in run formations. Anyone here yet how bad Stafford got hurt seems like they aren’t saying much .But if hes not in our chances of an upset get exponentially better!
