Denver Broncos News: Horse Tracks - 12/13/10

It’s hard enough to read any Broncos news these days, let alone all of it.

Missed the tracks the last few days even if it is all bad news.

Are of more interest to me now than Broncos news… :(

Some interesting / funny ones:
1) Video of metrodome caving in! That was incredible… why the eff is its roof made of that cloth-like material in the first place?
2) The Jet’s coach tripping the Miami gunner… hilarious… if you’re not that gunner or a Dolphin player/fan.
3) I really dislike DeSean Jackson… anyone catch yet another stupid endzone antic of his last night? Though… I can’t say I wouldn’t mind having his production over Royal’s at this point in his career… :(
4) How about Troy Polamalu’s crazy INT and super man into the endzone in the Pitt/Cincy game? Amazing… absolutely amazing…

I wish I had something to say……………..

I don’t really care if he doesn’t get snaps in practice… you are going to tell me that Tebow couldn’t complete better than 50% with three int’s?

How about that Orton is now below 60% for the season? Or that he has led us to a 3-10 record? He has 5 games of under an 80 qb rating. He has 6 games at or under 60% completion. He also tripped over himself trying to go to the guy who intercepted him.

The game was close yesterday for a long time and he couldn’t get the offense going.

You HAVE to make some type of change.

I think pretty much everyone wants to see Tebow at this point, whether they think he’s better than Orton or not. So why wouldn’t they play him?

-The team listened to the mob with the McDaniels’ firing and resolved not to do so again, even if the mob is making sense..

-Tebow sucks AND they plan to trade him. They don’t want potential suitors to see how he reacts in real game situations. Think Sarah Palin quitting as governor of Alaska to avoid a track record in her presidential campaign.

-They’re hoping Orton will recover from his funk and boost his trade value.

-They’re afraid that Tebow will win, costing the Broncos valuable draft position.

-Tarded

-They’re desperate for a win and legitimately think that Orton gives the team a better chance (see above).

for everything

The more he plays the closer to the 2nd overall pick we get.

I wouldn’t shed any tears if he never took another snap as a QB for Denver again.

I’d love to see Tebow next week, but at this point I’d even settle for Quinn!

Tebow:
at halftime, i talked with my dad, who fortunately for him was at the niners/seachickens game, and he asked if it was tebow time. at that point orton had like a 20 passer rating and had thrown like 100 incomplete passes and 14 interceptions (it seemed) so i told him it seemed unfathomable that tebow would not come in. and orton played on.
orton possibly injured? orton played on.
as i digested it, 2 possiblities stick with me:
1. Studes doesnt want to be perceived as doing what Josh McD did, immediately changing the status quo upon arrival, by benching orton (and thereby altering the gameplan, probably significantly) without even a full week on the job.
2. upper brass wants tebow’s first game to be at home, in front of denver fans, not in glendale arizona, (or in oakland state penitentiary next week…) and told studes as much.
orton was absolutely miserable, both in his actual play, and his demeanor. as much as i hated the pouting cutler, the defeated moping orton is maybe worse. no professional athlete should look like that. especially a team captain and starting QB.

Silver linings:
was decker not great on kickoffs? displayed incredible vision, confidence, and a ton of speed. i just hope he doesnt get injured : /
Moreno continues to spit in the eyes of the naysayers who said he was a first round bust, running more and more like a guy who can run big. he is hitting the lanes with urgency, and makes multiple guys miss on most plays. best player by far on offense.
not much is being said about the defense, which is too bad, but they played a really great game, given the hadn they were dealt. grated, it was against a rookie qb, but when did arizona start inside their own 20? umm, never? wink has his unit playing admirably in the midst of a real s***storm, and i believe he deserves to stay on for it.

not a lot of good news out there right now for us bronco fans, lets just hope we escape the season without our stadium collapsing or something.

Go Broncos.

6-10 until we aint?

Here’s a peek at what we would be getting based on current rookie starters in the NFL:

Sam Bradford – QB rating: 79.1
Jimmy Clausen – QB rating: 55.0

While I see Orton’s gameplay being affected by constantly looking over his shoulder and it’s probably time for a change, don’t expect TT to looking any better than the two guys above. The last few games could actually be detrimental to Tebow’s development. If he’s not ready and plays poorly it could signal a red flag to the organization and they may pursue an end to his time here. He represents one of the many decisions by the past regime which failed to bear fruit.

Would be for Tebow to never take a snap as a Bronco. Woody Paige said that Tebow had a meeting with Ellis to discuss his future. Why is it even in question? He was a first round draft pick and the best college football player of all time. Does that mean he will be a superstar, no. But it sure as hell earns him a shot to try in my book.

What a slap in the face to Bronco fans if Tebow never plays a snap. Thanks for buying the jerseys and finally getting excited about the franchise again, but we are going another direction.

Tim Tebow Threat Level Raised to Orange

The fan base is becoming so unbearable. First the fans run McD out of town (mistake), now let’s kick Orton out of town. Wish I had a computer next to me so I could tell everyone how wrong they are…

Actually it was Joe Ellis and Pat Bowlen that ran McD out of town and obviously the fan base doesn’t have any imput on whether Kyle Orton plays or not, otherwise he wouldn’t have played past the 2nd qtr yesterday.

Well it has been nice knowing everyone. Time to go bury myself alive. Goodbye, cruel world.

Early in the season, I became fearful that McD has assembled one of the very worst coaching staff’s in the NFL. Yesterday, my fears were confirmed. Studsville let these guys all do their own thing and we saw the results. What a debacle.

It made me cringe to hear the word continuity used so frequently the last month. Please, no more continuity. Please blow this staff to smithereens. No more Priefer, no more McCoy. I would be fine if we fired every one of our 2010 coaches (maybe keep the WR guy and that is it). We can do so much better just about all of these half wits.

I’m pretty sure Robert Ayers would be the 7th or 8th best player on most average NFL defenses. His inability to rush the passer and/or take down the QB is depressing. Both the Cardinals long runs yesterday were right at him. Ayers is regressing again.

I for one, will continue to root for all Broncos!!! It isn’t that tough of a concept.

Funny how a couple bad games from Orton, and all kinds of under-the-bus-throwing occurs. Granted, he definitely made a couple/few idiotic decisions in this particular game, but I for one, am not one to forget the beautiful efforts he has given Us in the past. Quit acting like Elway never had idiotic moments, or that when he did, they were excusable because of this or that. OYE!!! Every QB has and will continue to have said moments.

And I’m not sorry if that’s hard to comprehend. Orton has made some awesome freakin’ plays for Us, and in the games where he has, Our defense lost the game for Us. If you want to forget those beautimous efforts, more power to ya. Sure, it wasn’t entirely the defense’s fault in ANY of those games. But neither was it entirely Orton’s fault in any of them either. Anyway, I’m going to get back to the seemingly foreign concept of rooting for Our team! Go Broncos!!!! All of ’em!!! GO BRONCOS!!!!
