Thread: Broncos pull a reverse.... done with TEBOW???

I wish the FO would be upfront and quit talking out of both sides of their mouth.......very wishywashy.

Next your going to tell me he wears Isotoner gloves.

Just to cut him?


I dont think so.


At a minimum, you would want to trade him, and the team thats the most likely to be interested is again the Miami dolphins.


Tebow would set Florida on fire with excitement, and perhaps we could garner a great pick for him. If he goes down there and lights it up, and Denver loses, the Broncos fans are gonna burn Invesco down.


In the end, if you dont believe in Tebow, then trade him now and get the controversy out of Denver.


But if youre not sure, and youre going to let him ride the pine, then you got whats coming in the media doo doo storm the Broncos fans are going to bring with every single loss.

Every time we dont convert in the redzone or a third down, youre going to hear TEBOW! TEBOW!


And of course we'll have lots of great coverage on NFL Network.

Yep.

And Tebow is the only QB under contract after this season. Orton and Quinn could both be gone. Orton is almost surely gone and Quinn may or may not be, but if he impresses in Preseason who is to say a team like Miami won't make a play for him as well?

So if you trade Tebow in the offseason might it be that the Broncos could have 3 new QBs next year? I would estatic if Elway somehow landed Luck, but would a guy like that start right away?

Would Tebow be the projected starter NEXT year if we drafted a rookie? What if Tebow lights it up next year as our starter and we have a stud rookie behind him on the bench?

What if Orton gets hurt this year during the season (which happens every year) and Tebow plays lights out and Denver is sitting there in reach of Luck....

So many ways to go with this. About the only thing we can reasonably agree on is that Orton is most likely gone next year.

They're just trying to raise the profile of the organization. Media savvy.

Tebow chants and cheering every time Orton gets sacked = nightly conversation on ESPN = maybe Bowlen can rub a couple nickels together and pony up for a DT next year.

Just bidness. *laughs*

I still believe we should have moved Orton and given Tebow the reins if Orton's not in our long-term future. I don't see how Orton's the future - he's gonna be moderately expensive to re-sign and polarizing besides. This is a QB driven town. Blame Elway, but we do not identify with our defense or our running game. There are some towns in which a QB could be average and have a long career.

This is not one of those towns.

Your QB has to be able to win games all by himself. Tebow can do that, Orton can't. That doesn't make Tebow the future either, but it makes him electric to those that lived for Elway's 2 minute comebacks. Tebow's a sandlot footballer too. 58 minutes of average and 2 minutes of "Screw the playbook, go win me a game" will play well here.

58 minutes of average and 2 minutes of screwing up will make people chant for the backup.

But if Orton's gonna be here, and he's gonna start, then obviously they believe either Tim isn't ready, or he'll never be ready and thus isn't The Man. That makes Orton a stopgap (one that I don't understand, since you want to be bad to get the QB of the future, not have a one year mediocre season and THEN suck after you get the 4th best QB prospect instead of the 1st or 2nd). If Orton's the future, then he's got a long uphill slog ahead of him, and I wish him luck.

Until I see Orton confirmed as the starter for the season, though, I'm still skeptical that he's even the stopgap bridge to Tebow or our 2012 1st rounder. If Tebow brings it in game situations, and they can move Orton, they will IMO.

It works better for our future that way, whether Tebow pans out or not.

When has Lombardi been right about anything?

This all reminds me of a comment I heard from a GM the other day: "Fans make
great fans, but they make lousy GMs."

I dunno, I think I could do at least AS GOOD as Josh McDaniels and Brian Xanders did over the past 2 years as acting GMs of the Denver Broncos. I promise we'd have more than 4 wins.

So GM's call you daily?

How come then did Orton NOT get 9 years 290 million from a GM this year?

How hard is that for some fans to see?

You can't "rah rah" you're way to a win in the NFL.

Why is it that you insist on being rude in all of your posts. You can make your point without being a condescending ass.

How hard is it for you to see that we spent a 1st round draft pick on the guy, we won't get near that in return for the guy and he has the intangibles to get us through this year when there is no way we're competing for shit, and get a high qb next year.

I can't rah rah us to a win, but you sure can't get through a post without being an ass ass.

somebody post again about how "EFX" has this big, awesome plan all worked out. . . .

That is really what this is all about. The worst thing that happened to Tebow was Josh was fired.

Hi! I am Matt Millen, and i would like to tell you about some very interesting new markets opening up in the ..............
