    We won some games when Kordell's numbers weren't much better.

    As far as I'm concerned - they're VERY good - because they're our next opponent. No TRAP games from here on out!

    Thanks for bringing this up. Now I can't help but recall when we completely dominated the Texans a few years ago and ended up losing off of a couple pick-6's and other random garbage.

    The whole Tebow thing is funny. I don't know how far he can go in this league but the guy manages to win. I actually want to see him succeed just to stick it to the "experts". It's almost as if they are offended that this non traditional style QB has the gaul to try and play in the NFL. First it was Tebow will never be drafted in the first round, Tebow will never start, Denver can't win with Tebow starting. Now the latest I have heard is Tebow can't win a SB, lol, way to cover your asses guys, probably pretty safe with that one, lots of QB can't win the SB. Dolts.

    It seems to me like a sick joke by Elway and the Broncos, either let the guy throw and ply the QB position like he should, or just friggin cut the guy.

    It just seems like the Bronco's have no interest in his development.

    50% of his completions were for touchdowns, that always helps.

    I just think it is funny, that this guy just wins and the media just loves to rip him. Ben used to find a way to win also earlier in his career and he is really developing into a good thrower. Tebow is young and will make plenty of mistakes, but when he keeps winning that should be the point. The media will never allow him to develop. I am most assuming that he will, but I still think he deserves to be left alone. His best receiver was traded the week before he got the starting job and he has won 3/4. Who does he really have to throw the ball to to make plays?

    Passing is not the only way to win even in todays NFL......It may be the easiest if you don't make mistakes.......But the game of Football is still designed to reward Teams who protect the Football and play good D........

    Is why I say a Team such as the Steelers should not get beat.....We have the ability to run the ball and do it well,,,we also have a great QB with a Great WR Core......On the other side of the ball we still have 1 of the best D'S in the NFL......We just need a better attack plan IMO......We seem to be to predictable and to quick to abandon the run.......

    As I have stated I have no problem passing the ball I just wished we would do it from running sets.......If BA would only build his playbook around a 2 RB set I think we would have an advantage against every Team we face........

    If I was the OC my main goals would be to become a great screen team,,,pass as much to the RB'S as any Team in the NFL,,design at least 10 PA plays where Miller is the primary target for each game,,,,keep Ben clean,,,,Make Ben the best PA QB in the NFL...

    IMO if we did everything else would work so much better......Our WR'S would have a lot more single coverage and the big plays would be there on a regular basis........It's called spreading the field and making the D defend every blade of grass......IMO no Team could do that vs. the talent we have......I still believe we give to much away with our personnel packages and our plays are to precictable because of that.....

    Because the opposing defense can't stop the run.

    It kills me that most NFL teams nowadays like to go with an empty backfield 4 WR set on 3rd and short.

    My main goal as a play caller in that situation would be to create the element of uncertainty.

    We don't use playaction nearly enough anymore.

    Or you could say Elway and the Broncos have finally decided to go all-in on the guy and in the short term build their offensive game plan around what he does best and keep working to improve his passing defficeincies for the long term. Will it work ? I don't know but it's been a pretty effective strategy for the last two weeks. The Broncos organization pretty much have their hands tied here. With Teebow being such a fan fav there's no way they're going to cut him until he plays and fails miserably and if they use a more traditional offense that depends more heavily on the pass then the organization is going to be accused of not giving him a fair shot by not taking advantage of the skills he does have. I see the Teebow decision as a no win situation for the Broncos organization right now. That said they've won their last two games with the guy so I guess things could be worse for them.

    I have always been a little ambivalent on the whole Tebow thing .But one thing I think that is being overlooked is that the Broncos traded their best wide receiver (Brandon Lloyd)to the Rams a couple weeks ago for a 5th round draft pick.He led the league in receiving yards last year and they just dump him for a low draft pick.They definitely are not giving him the best chance for success.

    His best WR is Demarious Thomas. Seriously, that kid could be a stud, he was drafted higher than Dez Bryant for a reason, but Tim Tebow has no idea how to use him or get him the ball. Tebow may very well win games against weaker teams, but he won't be able to beat the good teams, at least not consistently. What happens when they are down by 21 at half time, is he still going to do nothing but run? Does he really expect to make up 21 points by running and not throwing?

    A QB needs to be able to throw the ball when the time comes, and Tebow can't and I doubt he ever will be able to. His mechanics are beyond terrible.

    Tebow will be replaced as the starting QB in Denver once they get a better option. I think Brady Quinn is a better option, but that's just me

    They played KC. Who in my opinion besides their record is one of the worst teams in the league. Indy would be better if they weren't playing or sucking for Luck.

    Look, whatever you believe about Tebow, one has got to give the guy credit.

    Now, how dumb or stupied are the Chief's after the Broncos lost BOTH their main RB's and STILL lost. I mean, seriously folks.

    I actually like Tebow. Winners win. Will he be the next Brady or Manning? Doubt it, but it does not take Brady or Manning to win the SB. Besides, footall is a business and the real issue is getting a paycheck. There are thousands of players that have come through the league and not been HOF calibur yet they still managed to make a pretty good living.

    Everyone wants Tebow to be the next Brady, but those guys do not come around all the time. He could end up being just an average QB yet be successful. He is young and needs work, but he is a hard worker and someone that will not cause trouble or get into trouble. His teammates also seem to like the guy so who is anyone to throw stones?

    I hope he does well. As an earlier poster said, I hope he does well just to rub it in the face of the hacks at ESPN and the NFL network.

    Speaking of Tebow, Tosh.0 had a hilarious bit on him and Tebowing. I'm not going to imbed it because even though it aired in prime time, those EASILY offended, should just. not. click.

    You were warned.
