The truth behind the numbers

Indeed, it took me a good time. I think Tebow is the only player ever to play well the Zone Reads at this level of the game, and althought not the only one, a great one for us to explore the bootlegs. I don’t know why our front-office still not calling those plays, but I hope they are already practicing it. And I posted a few min ago on their blog. I just don’t like to talk to our division rivals, but the other fans are great guys to talk.

But MSM don’t think about it. Tebow sucks, that’s all. Bah!

Another great point indeed. We could never will with Orton running those plays, but with Tebow we can even if we complete only 2 passes! And the Chiefs are not a bad team, so the win is even better…

Just like pass #8, a little overthrown would have made them perfect passes for Deckers but he needs to go up and fight for the ball. I watch a lot of Saints and Drew Brees throws a lot of high passes and Collson usually comes down with it. Same with Phyllis Rivers, those huge receivers make it easy for him to just get the ball to a general vicinity. When TT, DT and Deckers get not only on the same page but on the same word and letter, this offense will be unstoppable.

One the pass 1, the defender was very close to Decker. He got no separation, so the best place to throw was beetwen the #8 and the #7 really, but it was a very difficult to catch. So I liked the pass and I don’t call this a drop (I admit that during the game I thought it was). For me it was the quality of the play by the defender that turned the play as in incomplete pass.

On the 3rd you are right, he had to stop and turn back to try this catch. It was a bad decision imo, and not well executed.

If Royal’s arm hadn’t been discreetly held he would have been able to get under it for a great catch.

yeah, he had beaten him badly

Se we need to throw to our WRs strenghs. And, for me, Tebow did it!

Thank you for them and I agree with you! I would NEVER trade Tebow for 10 Mark Sanchez… never!

Agreed! The good news is that this team is playing to win… I’m pleased with this.

He represents a big threat to any opposite team, because of his legs. So if he can put 55% passes on the money, we add the ground yards to it, and we’ll have a great team playing a great football and having winning seasons every year.

And let’s hope Tebow can throw “innacurately” like this every game.

I’d love to see Merril Hoge’s face when we reach a Super Bowl in a couple years….

I think for you it’s not easy to be a Bronco so far either, right? But we can say we are proud to bleed orange & blue. It’s priceless!

That’s simple, bfree… LOL

And I agree with you. Tebow just doesn’t need to be a precision QB. His legs are a big threat, and he can capitalize it’s use on almost every play. If he can throw this way for all his life, he will have perhapes the worst numbers by a long-term starting QB ever, and still the Broncos be a winning team with him on the huddle!

The Triple Options and Zone Reads maximize his strenghts, and I must take my hat off to Fox to have the courage to do the best for the team. However, he has a good % of god throws while he is set to. Ok, you don’t think it’s enough to call him accurate, but I really do. For me he passes much better than Cassel this game, for example.

Btw, glad you are back to MHR.

It’s got to be nerves early in the game

Thank you for this add here

And it wouldn’t have been a surprise if that play had been flagged. But, it was a very discrete one.. we also can’t blame the judge for don’t flagging it.

And yes! I don’t get how this can be a drop (talking about the 1st pass)… why not give the defender the credit he deserves?! And he does deserve it. Not a bad throw, not a drop, just a good play by the defender. I still agree that the chemistry beetwen Tebow and our WRs tend to increase week-by-week, so I don’t think we need to land ProBowlers here… as it wouldn’t help either.

The better part this season is to look for improvement. Even if it was a little one, we need to get better each game, and it’s happening. That’s why I’m another happy fan!

I saw the same thing you saw on the first pass to Decker. But after looking at the picture, I thought… “why would a WR leap for an under thrown ball?” So I looked back at the replay and it seemed like Decker kind of half stepped a little to prepare for the leap. So I don’t know that it was the throw or the adjustment or whatever, but I’d say the pass was accurate… meaning average for a throw that deep and in that area of the field.

And with this 6-8 or 7-8 I’m sure Tebow would had the perfect QBR. What a difference!

I was just expecting to see when Rivers and Palmer would throw their must-do interceptions… But they are great, Tebow sucks! That’s all.

But the announcers on TV can’t question the wisdom of Palmer and Rivers for throwing those passes. Both Palmer and Rivers have been anointed as “good” QBs so they must be making good decisions.

And btw, it could be an interesting job to see all those crappy plays. Yesterday I can just count 1, the throw to Rosario. I’m sure we’ll confirm that this number (at least the ratio) is getting better every week.

Fist of all, thank you for the thoughts, si_ice…

Now let me say that your point about the 3rd pass is strong enough for me to not disagree about. I just see on a differente way.

I only disagree about the 1st pass. The pass could be better? Sure! But was it inaccurate? Absolutely not, imo. It was catcheable and for it was on a good spot to be catched. It wasn’t on the better play, but Erick could have battled for the catch, and it could had been a great one. Indeed, Erik did it, but the coverage was very good. So it wasn’t a poor pass and it wasn’t a drop… i’m fine giving the credits to the defender by defending the play very well.

But MSM doesn’t care if the passes were deep, or catchable. Tebow sucks, that’s all. LOL

And I had the same impressions during the game. Before the end of it, I was already thinking to separate this images to prove me right or wrong for myself. And I was not wrong, the balls were decent at least, but the one to Rosario.

If he has this kind of deep throw, the intermediate passes tend to be even better. However Tebow is a weird guy, he just doesn’t work like the rest of the world. The crappy throw to Rosario, for example, was the easiest (not considering the shovel pass) or at least the 2nd easiest and meh!

I just disagree about your views about the Jets. Thei have a solid D with perhaps the best secondary of the NFL. They create a lot of pressure rushing the passer and they make some turnovers this way. They struggle to stop the ground attacks. They load the box with the SS often to help when they face a run-heavy or run-first team. So I think this our sunday stairway to heaven. Rush them on the offense, and rush them on the defense to force Sanchez to throw the football.

For the compliment and for the thoughts added above.

And if we think for a while, they have no time for that. They need to watch a lot the Jets tapes and they must invest much more time gameplaning to their plays than reviewing ours (althought of course it also happens). But I’m sure they’re always reading MHR… if they just print my screenshots and make their own thoughts about it, it’s great for the team, for Timmy, for the WRs and I’m glad to help.

And btw, thank you boiler.

Last season starts: 1-2
This season starts: 3-1

Yes, that’s why he really need to do: improve. And even Mr. Moron Hoge can’t deny the kid is doing his job and getting better week-by-week.

And I actually think Royal wouldn’t because we can notice 1 LB coming, with another MLB finally releasing his block (JD on a great 2nd level) and the RCB also releasing the block of our WR (maybe DT, I don’t know now). And he had “only” 1 guy free to block (probably Larsen) right in front of Royal, with a small room to run. As he is not a RB, I thought he wouldn’t earn much yards, but it’s valid to think he would. The sad is that we’ll never know.

And, if Timmy had this kind of consciousness and perception, we have to enjoy this “crappy” play twice. One for reading this so fast (and he is very criticized because of his decisions by the MSM) and the other for realize that only an underthrow could be catched on that play. However, the pass is crappy even for an underthrow to a catch into the dirt, imo.

Carter is a moron, that’s a fact for me. He was a great player, but nothing else. And I’d include Dilfer in this list, who makes a lot of comments unproved about Tebow and forgets that he wasn’t a great QB but had the benefict of what I think was the best defense in history.

Btw, do you have the link about Fox commenting that throw to Rosario?
