The Tebow, The Champ ... and funny Brandon
I'm really looking forward to this Sunday. Especially watching two of my favorite players, Champ Bailey and Brandon Marshall. Before I get into that, however, I should touch on the subject everyone else will be concentrating on....Tim Tebow.
Having given up three or four picks to get Tebow I am excited to finally see what he's got...with a full playbook... and on an extended stage. I'll be curious what the so-called experts say when they see the heart of a player overcome all their conceived 'so-called' short-comings.
I’ve now seen Tebow in three and a half games. You can subtract the first game against Oakland as Denver’s coaches decided not to put any pass plays in the game plan. It was pathetic, but even with the lousy game plan Tebow excited us with a 30 or so yard TD run.
You can also subtract one quarter, 3rd quarter last game, because Tebow was thrown into what looked like a hopeless game with a first team that he had not practiced with….at all. Even with the bad 3rd quarter he almost connected on a long TD pass to Decker on a broken play where most NFL QB’s would have been sacked.
That leaves us with two and a quarter games that we’ve actually seen what Tebow can do. One of them he played well but lost…mostly because of a terible defense. The other game he won with an exciting 4th quarter comeback. That leaves us with last games quarter in which he again sparked the entire team and stadium, proved he could move the team down the field, and came just short of another exciting 4th comeback.
If you ask me, Tebow is reminding me more of Elway than this QB the so-called experts say can’t be a success.
Personally I think that many of the ‘so-called’ experts are nothing more than a flock of talking birds simply repeating what they’ve heard around the house. Parots! Nothing more!
I think the nay-sayers will be surprised. I like Tebow and could care less about his long release. Teams playing Tebow have to worry about a heck of lot more about what Tebow can do than what his release is doing.
I wish Tebow the best of everything...I really do.
The Tebow thing will be fun , but the 'other' story, just as fun to watch will be 'Brandon vs. Champ.' It will be fun to see if the tutor, Champ, who taught Brandon many good moves, has a counter to what he shared. When Brandon was new with us he often spoke of what he was learning from Champ. Not only going against him in camp, but Champ also gave him some tips on how to make separation. I spent about an hour trying to find an interview I watched, where Brandon was talking about Champ and Rod Smith, but could not find it. I wish I could, Rod and Champ had a lot to do with Brandon maturing. Champ on the field, Rod in life.
As you know, Champ is one of the best tackling corners in the league. We watched him hold Vincent Jackson (similar in size to Brandon) to just three catches, no TDs, and few yards after the catch. The experts tell us that Jackson is one of the NFL's best. It will be interesting to see Marshall's numbers at the end of the game. I am happy as heck that Brandon did not end up in San Diego, very happy! With a real QB like Rivers, Brandon's numbers could be scary, and make it interesting to see if Brandon can better Vincent's numbers.
This will be a fun contest for both Champ and Brandon. I'm not sure what the exact numbers are but Champ must be giving up at least 30 to 35 pounds to Brandon and I imagine 2 to 3 inches...maybe even 4. I'm also sure that, even if he's lost a step, Champ is faster than Brandon. Brandon has proved to be a quick learner (on the field anyway) yet Champ is the wiley veteran. One of these days I'm going to figure out how to put a poll at the end of my post...I would like to ask you who you think will win the battle before it happens.
In case of few of you are very young or new Bronco fans here is a link to a very fun, and my favorite, YouTube of Brandon in his early years with the Broncos.

Anyway, for me, there will be three great shows within the game this Sunday.
#3 The Tebow Story begins
#2 Champ vs. Brandon
#1 I have a feeling that someone will become a star
I'm not sure who...I'm really not. It could be an Eric, a Demaryious, or even a Knowshone. I'm not sure why I have this feeling....but something fun is about to happen this weekend...and a star (or maybe some stars) will be born.
Note: This is not a La La Land poat so you can be angry at me if you want to.
OK, I 've done my do diligence and figured out how to put a poll out. I hope I am not too late to get a response.

There should be several story lines to follow...
I’ve been thinking of the debut of Demaryius Thomas and how he’ll route run and if Tebow can catch up with him? DT is better at catching the ball over his shoulder than BMarsh and it should be interesting.
I've been thinking...
…that if Demaryius had been had been the target of last game’s third quarter scramble/bomb (instead of Decker) it would have been a touchdown. I’m not downgrading Decker….just stating a fact.
Should be a fun weekend bfree!!
Good to see you by the way! Its nice too see a friend after a long while away…

I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. I've never really been sick in my life and this hit like a ton of bricks...
I spent 19 days in the hospital after the surgery wound became infected and the doctor had to rip it open to heal from the inside out. It will take me time to get my strength back, but, believe me, never take anything for granted, do the teasting at the appropiate time, because colorectal cancer is the silent killer. There is no pain associated with the tumor involved and only a test to prove whether ther is one or not…In my case, I waited too long to get tested.
Take care of yourself my friend
My prayers are with you.

I know it is unlikely, and this is joking,
but did you happen to get Tebow to come by and visit while you were an inpatient?
All good wishes for you, friend, and my prayers are also with you an your family.
I'm sorry to hear that, bfree.
Good luck, Bill. You’ve got my prayers.

Tebow didn't seem to have any trouble throwing deep
to Percy Harvin at Florida, and I would say he’s a step or three faster than DT. I think Tebow will be just fine with the long ball.

Yes in fact, that's one of the better throws Ive seen him make

I dont necessarily miss him....
I was a huge fan when he was here, but he was just becoming too much at the end. I think McD had control issues, but if you get held out of games you are not much of a deep threat. Even though I was upset that he was actually gone, it had to be done. I have moved on, looking forward to D. Thomas being a more “stable” weapon. Really hope Marshall gets better with his illness. He can get better with receptions after this sunday.
Enjoyed this post! I think BMarsh will be ready for our Broncos since he looked
rather pathetic against the Jets. It seemed to me Revis got under his skin. I’m hoping Champ will do the same though his MO is a bit different from Revis (I think)!
TT — I’m just excited to see how the game plays out and I keep thinking about past stars like T.Bradshaw, JMontana, S.Young have all said nothing but positives for Tim! Our very own JElway also is in that catagory, but he’s been walking that coach/player/manager line avoiding any boat-rocking, IMHO. Can’t wait for this game to kick off cuz I’ll take our “new” #15 vs the “old” #15 any day!!
God’s peace and blessings to you, bfree2bronc! Though we don’t know each other personally, my prayers are with you!
Lastly……..GO BRONCOS!!
He di have 6 catches for 109 yards....
….I hope a couple of our receivers are as pathetic tomorrow…
