Is hype and turmoil banned in April? I must have this team confused for another that just signed the biggest FA of all time.

C'mon. Don't play dumb. We had the worst season in franchise history in 2010. We had a 'lucky' season and got to the playoffs where we supposedly had no business being last year. Now we are superbowl contenders. What hype? Seriously?

We traded away the most popular athlete in the world after a winning season. What turmoil? Really?

I know liking Tebow on this board is a bit unpopular, but I think it's been fairly solidly established that he was well liked by the majority of the Broncos fanbase. You don't put your second string QB on the cover of your periodicals in order to sell season tickets, after all.

I'll quickly become a believer and say 'what turmoil?' too, as soon as I see us winning and Manning staying healthy. I'm cautiously optimistic, but hardly as confident as a lot of others around here.

As for the sentiment of this thread, **** yeah Champ deserves it. I don't care what it takes, the dude needs a ring.

Replacing the worst passer in the league with one of the best passers on the planet is not turmoil, it's common sense. There isn't a single coach, scout or FO exec in the NFL that would think otherwise. Josh McDaniels started Ortom over Tebow, you don't think he'd jump at the chance at signing Manning after the way Tebow has played as a starter? Every team in the hunt for Manning had far better QB's than the Broncos, I wonder why you didn't hear about their fans whining about what it meant to their QB's. The Broncos just signed a garbage backup QB that can hit routes that Tebow still can't and yet one of the bigger discussions on this forum is drafting his replacement. Turmoil? Way to be, there, drama queen.

And if the Broncos got to within 2 games of the SB with absolute garbage for a passing game it's not hyperbole to say this team should be considered SB contenders, especially in the AFC.

This does not require your believing to be reality.

Btw, I like how 2010 is only Orton's fault when it suits the Tebow fringe.......
