    or he could be at home actually watching the saints game?

    he was probablly like "WTF you gonna throw me under the bus King?"

    Well this means to me there is no way Tebow gets traded now. Elway knows how important the trust of the fans is, it was an important theme of his press conference. He risks a ton of credibility now if he entertains anything other than complete overpayment for Tebow.

    He doesn't lose credibility, he would be measured by the emotions of the fans early on, but the true tell-tale sign of how he'd be seen would be a two or three years down the road. Like McDaniels, some fans supported the trade of Cutler and others did not, two years later it looks like a bad trade, since he's leading his team into the playoffs and has literally carried a weak offensive unit all season.

    So I would say that is what we would see, if that even happened. I wouldn't be surprised if McDaniels tried to trade for Tebow, whether he landed in Minnesota or Miami, even if he took the job in Oakland, Tennesee or Carolina, those who're looking at him all have a need, with the top prospect out of the draft, Tebow who had relatively good numbers to the others drafted last year could be a hot commodity. The issue is, is Denver sold on him being the future, that franchise-esque quarterback that can lead this team...or is he too much of a project or a risk to bet the house on?

    Screw McD and what ever team he lands on.
    Let 'em trade for Orton...

    Tebow is a Denver Bronco until we find out what he's got under the hood for reals.

    The days of trading off our talent... those days are OVER.

    That was the McD way.

    Good riddance.

    mini-hoodie can **** off, he's not getting tebow. . . .


    “When we do find that guy, we’ve got to have the continuity on the offensive side to where we can train him and develop him and get him there. This is our fourth offense in probably three or four years. Quarterbacks need to be developed. You don’t find one ready-made. We got to have a solid system in place for when we do go after whatever guy it may be, a young guy or a trade or whatnot.”

    As I said, a fan being led by emotions...

    I want to agree with you Painter, but I also know that football is a business, even at the collegiate level it remains a business at it's very base structure.

    This is a true story...but I had a friend name Scott who was an offensive tackle, he had that infectious attitude, a drive and determination that was beyond measure and made you want to be better then you were. Coming out of college the scouts said he was a mid round talent and would probably never be a starter in the NFL. I told him not to listen to them, that he could prove them wrong, he was drafted a little earlier then expected, now because of certain issues I've changed the name of the character and I will not say the name of the team that drafted him because I haven't asked for permission to tell the story.

    Anyways, the coaches loved him, especially his offensive line coach, but no matter what he did, he never improved what he needed to and they ended up starting him one season and he looked solid but raw, the next season he still showed no signs of improvement and continued to be solid but far from a good tackle and not from a lack of trying. Eventually the team had to cut ties with him and he went from team to team as a backup for about two years, but was out of the league in less then seven seasons. Point is that sometimes a team has to make a judgement call even if they don't want to make it, even if they love that kid, because that is the business.

    Is that what we are seeing? No, but we have to remember that this is a business and that a team will do what it sees as the best thing for the organization, McDaniels did not do what was best for it, but what he felt was best for himself. There is a difference, but I always tell people that no matter how much you like a player that plays the game, that you have to remember Daniel Ruettiger or Rudy, and most know his name now because of the movie...but, that is just how it is sometimes, even if it seems unfair, unpractical even, that's football.

    Unlike another person in the Broncos' recent past you never

    1) admit you are trying to trade your starting quarterback before you actually do...and

    2) leave any doubt in a player's mind that he's "your guy" until you are ready to get rid of him.

    Whether Elway is lying through his keyboard or being completely honest, this is the right thing to do. That's the difference between a 50-year-old brain and a 30-year-old brain.
