Denver Broncos News: Game Day Horse Tracks - 1/8/12

Not saying Quinn should be that competition, and you’re probably right that signing a veteran QB to press as a starter would not make much sense, but Broncos will definitely need to bring in another QB next year anyway, might as well make it a good young QB who is starter capable. The more the merrier, and whoever the best man is who wins, whether Tebow or another, the Broncos will be better off. Personally, I still like the idea of Matt Flynn, who is still quite young, but his style is rather different from Tebow so it may be hard for them to co-exist.

Anyway, no matter what they’ll bring in another QB whether FA or draft. It’s up to Tebow to respond and mature so it doesn’t matter.

Don’t listen to the talking-heads for they only know enough football to write about it. What the Broncos need in the offseason is a BIG time power back to get this train a rolling and a pair of CBs that can take on the taller receivers in the league. Add in a LDE pass rushing specialist and a DT here and OT there and BAM! Offseason will feel alot better. I read an article where Tebow a second year QB has a pair of 2nd year receivers with the 2nd youngest OLine. That tells a huge story of where the Broncos should be and are at the moment. Give this group some time together and let the unit come together gel into the offense we expect it to be…Today’s game has very little effect with the direction the Broncos are going.

If anybody thinks they’ll all of a sudden open up the passing game I’ve got some beach-front property in Iowa for them. The Broncos will come out and try to establish the run just like they’ve done in the past and with some success it will open up the passing opportunities. Coming out passing like Drew Brees and it will lead to disaster, mark my words.

I miss having Seattle in our division. In 1983, how far did the Seahawks make it after beating Elway?

I see nothing beneficial about starting a QB who last saw NFL action that mattered in 1923 (wasn’t particularly good at it, either) and is a completely different style of QB than the starter.

But I like this idea. Especially if Tim is in there as a fullback (har har) or a receiver.

I’ve come a long way on Tebow, but I have my doubts about his abilities as a passer. Don’t think it is a mechanical thing so much as a mental thing. Which is to say Tebow will be fine next year. But right now, for the sake of beating a good Steelers D, Denver ought to do anything it takes to win.

In-game QB changes always seem beneficial to the offense. Quinn prepared to play the Steelers all week, but the Steelers didn’t prepare to play Quinn. No one’s seen him play in anything meaningful since 2009. Clearly, they’re two completely different quarterbacks. It’s hard to prepare at a high level for both.

I know a lot of Broncos fans are pretty serious about the Tebow, but surely they can do the math and understand that as promising as he is, he’s been struggling here at the end of the season.

I was all for playing Orton to start the season, but when he foundered, I supported to the change to Tebow. Why would people get upset about a similar move?

I said the same thing last night after Detroit scored their first touchdown. Whether it’s from 50 or 80, Brees is going to score on you. The only way you can beat him is by not giving him the ball.

I say “realist”.

I’m a huge Broncos fan. I grew up here and will never give up on them. But it isn’t being defeatist just to recognize that getting into the playoffs at all after the McD disaster and new coach and midseason QB change is a pretty amazing accomplishment.

Kudos to Fox and Tebow and Bailey and Dawkins — gonna miss you today, brother! — for getting Denver this far.

I’m sure Mile High will be packed with them, relatively speaking. There are at least two in my family. (They married in).
