About 4:35 in this highlight video:

And by Wes Welker you mean Brandon Stokely.

Welker was still a pat.

To be fair they all look the same.

I loved 2011. It was magic. Pure and simple. Tebow to Thomas. Unfortunately, the clock struck midnight on Cinderella.

2012

All teams lost in the playoffs but it was clear Denver was building up a path to success. The NFL was officially on notice.

I would go with 2012 because of how poorly we started off and how strongly we finished.

They just sat back and flooded the short zone, and when he tried to run, come up and make the tackle. They beat him up and cracked his ribs so badly that if by some miracle the Broncos had been able to move on to the Championship game he couldn't have played at all.

Going 8-8 was a gift and wonderful.

Everyone knew he wouldn’t be back. If you hated that season it says more about you than Timmy.

Belicheat held 2 clinics on how to deal with Tebow. I was (and still am) amazed that we still won games after the first clinic.

It’s almost like he could probably plug in any QB at this point.

2005 was my favorite. Champ Bailey was in the middle of one of the great defensive stretches ever.

Champ Bailey shut down one side of the field for three years. It and Von Miller’s 2014-16 are the two best individual defensive performances, IMO, in Broncos history. The rest of the defense was decent, but Bailey was amazing.

2005 and 2006. Amazing seasons. I feel he was the best most complete player to man that position. What an athlete. I still wear my Bailey jersey on game day.
