A Team effort.

The Broncos are on a 4-1 stretch, and alot of credit has been given to Tim Tebow, he deserves alot of it, but alot of people and "Experts" are forgetting, to win the NFL it takes a total team effort.

Since Tebow has been the starter, the entire team has stepped up, time to give credit to some players who deserve some credit where credit is due

Lance Ball:

The last 2 weeks, our best running back outside of Tebow has been Lance Ball. McGahee has been dinged up, Moreno is out, next man up is Lance Bowling Ball Ball. He's a straight ahead down hill runner, doesnt dance around, just goes straight and lowers his shoulder. Had a great game against KC, 30 some carries for 96 yards, last thursday he didnt have the best game running, but made some nice catches out of the back-field

Spencer Larsen:

Every strong running game needs a good lead blockers, well guys we have that it spence. He has a high motor and will hit whatever he can, he's even been making plays in the passing game and even taking the rock on occasion. He's also one of if not the best special teams player we have.

Offensive Line

wow have these guys stepped up. beginning of the year we all wanted to replace them, despite a few holding calls(Mr. Clady) i dont think we have given up a sack the last 2-3 games. Our running game is averaging 200+ yards total. Starting to look like the Denver Broncos i remember, strong running game and great OL play.

Ryan McBean, Brodrick Bunkley, Marcus Thomas

what was thought to be an area of weakness has turned into an area of strength. Bunkley has been impressive all year. Marcus Thomas is finally starting to turn into the player we all thought he could be, and Ryan McBean, where did you come from? All 3 of these guys are on 1 year contracts, i hope EFX decides to bring back the trio. We all want to draft a young stud DT, but they take time to develop, add him into a rotation with these 3 and we could have a dominant DL for years

Chris Harris

The undrafted rookie is making a huge impression. Despite a few rookie mistakes on special teams he has been all over making tackle and breaking up passes. Looks like EFX has found another diamond in the rough to go along with Cassius Vaughn

I agree!

Although I have to say that I’ve seen “Lost in all the hubbub about Tebow…” statements quite often recently, followed by talk of other Broncos. I don’t really think Tebow is as much a distraction as everyone claims. I do kind of admire it when people talk about the other players without even mentioning Tebow in the first place.

I wish I knew more about what’s going on with Carter, Dawkins, Bruton, and Moore. I think Bruton has played much better than expected given his limited playing time.

It’ll be interesting to see who loses out in the secondary next season. We’ve got nine good guys now and nine is usually the limit. On top of that, we have Squid on injured reserve, and whoever else we might draft. Maybe Goody and Dawkins both hit the road, but maybe not.

I think Dawkins retires after the year. Carter and Moore seem to be the future back there.

Bruton sticks as a special teamer, goody probably goes too. We either sign or draft another corner and let Harris and Vaughn battle

don't forget Syd'Quan my good man!!!

I figure he was poised to have a great 2nd year campaign!!!

"If you went to the Fair with this guy and you played that game where you have to throw the ball through the hole..... HE may never get it through the hole, but he's still gonna be walking away with all the stuffed animals" Prime on Tebow!!!
