oh, sure, this playoff business is hunky dory and everything

but it is getting in the way of timmy's offseason workouts. seriously. when is this kid ever gonna get a chance to, you know, learn how to play quarterback? oh well. if we gotta do it then we gotta do it. but once all this fooling around is over it's straight to bed, then up early with merril hoge and company so the young fella can larn his-self sum football. btw -- did you see the espn article on tim currently leading playoff qbs in qbr? i know, meaningless statistic, but still, it is funny.

go broncos.

this does trouble me.

tebow won’t learn to play QB like this. and worse, the longer this playoff deal drags out, the less talented QB we’ll be getting in the draft. we’ll never make the playoffs if this continues.

One of the better posts of the season.

Tim Tebow is Denver's 2012 starting QB. I'm not even kind of sorry that offends some of you (including you Elway).

sequence is everything.

socks, then shoes. five step drop, then championships. anything else is just wrong. wrong, i say, wrong. any objections? Shh! Let me tell you a little story about a man named Shh! Shh! Even before you start. That was a preemptive Shh. Just know I have a whole bag of Shh with your name on it.

But you missed a step

In between five step drops and championships, you forgot, “Earn the Merrill Hoge seal of approval.” It IS the most crucial step in the process.

you're right!

you know why? my mechanics suck. i forgot to get monsignor merrill’s seal of approval because it took too long to develop the post, and i got sacked before i could hit ‘send.’ my keyboard stroking is too slow, my wrist position too low, big windup, bad follow through. and fuggedabout capitalizing. i suck. i am not ready to be an nfl fan. i am an embarrassment. i am the worst fan in the league. ever. give up on me, man, and trade this year’s fan-draft for a sure thing, a fan that can be built around. sigh.

one week earlier this year on its projections for eddie royal: “don’t expect much, as he has the worst QB in NFL history throwing to him.” yup, so bad he’s in the divisional playoff game after slaughtering the steelers. i guess the second-worst QB in history went to the super bowl then. what an amazing league.

Have you seen his throwing motion?

I know he has shown that he can just about scrape by as an NFL qb (if you can call it that), but he will never make the pro bowl or be a HOF qb, and even if he does he will be the ugliest/worst qb to do so.. in the world.. evar!!!

It’s embarassing to think the Broncos can win with Tebow. Yeah we beat the AFC powerhouse Steelers, but the Patriots are so much better guys! We had better just call it a season.

Lest you forgot my son

Tim Tebow needs to blow it up, start all over and learn to throw the football right-handed because this whole lefty thing just isn’t working out for him…

Well, I know I won't join the Tebow wagon until . . .

He has perfect form and never throws a wobbly ball . . .
He beats a team that has no significant players injured . . .
He beats a team that has never, ever lost a game . . .
He has both a perfect QB Rating and QBR Rating with 100% passing completion . . .
He wins by being the only offensive or defensive player on his team . . .

Then, maybe, I’ll give him a break

I just want to see the Broncos score LOTS of points, beat the SNOT out of the opponent, and walk away with a humble "God Bless". How about you?

1. perfect form, no wobblies
2. beats a completely uninjured team that has never, ever lost a game.
3. perfect qbr, 100% completions
4. is the only offensive or defensive player on the team
AND
5. plays all special teams positions, acts as the line judge, the umpire, the head referee and the lead usher for section TT.
6. personally greets the ambassador from japan in his own language with lilies and a haiku
7. knows your favorite song just by looking at you
8. sneezes with his eyes open
9. knits tea cozies for everyone that lives within a block of colfax
10. is the first man to field his own kick eleven yards deep in the endzone, returns it on himself to the one inch line at which point he strips himself of his own ball and runs it back, thereby scoring both a touchdown and a touchback simultaneously on a 211 yard return.
THEN AND ONLY THEN
will he be an nfl qb.

more that fifteen years, tops. Think of all those years wasted. Just like that other damn screw-up we once had at QB, can’t remember his name (started with an L, I think), and sure he was entertaining a times, but did you ever see his throwing motion? And all that running around he did? Why are my beloved Broncos cursed so?

now that is funny

funny because i was fairly certain tebow would bomb. not so much because i had no confidence in tt ~~- i really had no idea if he could succeed in the nfl, but i wanted him to have a chance~~- but more because i thought efx would never adapt to his skills, he’d never get a legitimate shot. and, of course, i am a supernaturally gifted football prognosticator. whatever i think; bet the opposite.

fox seemed on board early, too.

i wonder how, exactly, decision making is done at dove valley. is it nfl culture to let coaches coach? would it be exceptional for the front office to dictate overall strategy, i.e. stay conventional, don’t waste time on the option. if elway pitched a fit, arguing this was not his vision of the championship football team he was constructing, would fox and mccoy not have adapted the offense? could john have stopped this thing if he’d wanted? is elway leading, or getting dragged along in timmy’s wake?

my opinion; john has unprecedented power. i bet he could have stopped it. he chose not to, he let mccoy (and fox) make of tt what they could, and timmy has slowly won him over.

this must be a humbling experience for john. he’s basically letting his own star quarterback prove him wrong, although not in so many words. and good for john. it’s hard to learn to play quarterback. it’s even harder to learn to let someone else play quarterback, their way.

my only beef with elway this year

has been his media ubiquity. it’s just not good for a president/GM type to go around wearing his emotions and whims on his sleeve all season long. he’s brought a lot of strife on himself and the team by what he’s said or not said, and unnecessarily so. it’s all very jerry jones. no other GM would’ve come out and declared Tebow the team’s long term QB at this point, but then, no other GM would be around to answer the question in the first place.

Elway isn’t the GM though.

he’s not the GM but i always get tired of typing president or whatever the crap his title is. sure, i’m lazy. i often slack over to just typing GM because it’s easier and mostly because i believe he’s the real GM behind the curtain. can you imagine xanders overriding elway? “no, we’re drafting this guy despite what you say, john.” hah! funny. nah. elway’s the de facto of personnel.

just curious

i kinda thought elways role was to do damage control after josh and the video-taping, no? would this not require a more public presence than your typical ‘executive vice president of football operations’ read gm and heir apparent. it would have been weird if he had not been available. now that confidence is up and we, the fan-base, are calming down, he should be able to back off. i didn’t see this as attention seeking purely for itself. no?

i think you’re right about everything there. i don’t see it as self-seeking, and i do think it was okay, though not necessary, to be more fan friendly. but a GM/president type really needs to hold personnel issues to himself and keep them within the building. he didn’t do the team any favors at all by announcing that tebow needs to throw better, that he’s not necessarily the QB of the future, or even sometimes that tebow seemed to be picking things up. all those things may be true, but to air everything out that comes to the top of your head in public is the job of skip bayless & co., not of a guy who’s trying to legitimately run a pro team. bad form. my opinion though.

Second Time around

This is a good chance to see how he can counter when a defense sees his unique skill set a second time. So far we have only one team that has seen him twice. That was the Chiefs and we managed 3 points. Hope this isn’t a sign of things to come. Pats D is not as good as Chiefs so I’d like to think we will fare better.
