Well I'm glad to say MHR Poll of the Week is back, and hopefully we can continue to do our best to keep the pulse on Bronco Country. Normally in this section we would review the previous week's poll, but since it's been a while, so we'll just take a look down memory lane and see how Mile High Report did in a few of it's predictions.Now I didn't include all the final data, just a few that stuck out in retrospect.

The 2011 season has wrapped up for the Denver Broncos and we will soon be gearing up for the events leading up to the NFL Scouting Combine set for the end of February and eventually the 2012 NFL Draft near the end of April. Still, we haven't had complete closure here on Mile High Report. In the coming weeks, we will take a look at each position in review and looking forward. Meanwhile, I am proposing a series of Bronco player awards as voted upon by the members here at MHR. We can begin with the Broncos 2011 Comeback Player Of The Year.

The Denver Broncos are 6-5 and on the cusp of the NFL Playoffs.  The defense has played out of its mind, and Von Miller could break the rookie sack record (14.5) held by Jevon Kearse.  Brian Dawkins looks 5 years younger, and the defensive line that was supposed to be a weakness is getting it done when it matters most.

Oh yea, and Tim Tebow is now 5-1 as the starting quarterback for the Broncos this season.  He gets all the pub - much like every quarterback in the NFL.  Too much credit and too much blame.  We are halfway through the 11-game audition for Tebow that started back after the Broncos fell to 1-4.  At that time, we all felt the next 11 games would be a good indicator of what the Broncos should do in the 2012 NFL Draft.  It was my assertion that Tebow would need to play the Broncos out of a Top-5 pick in order to be given a shot after the season.

Boy, has he done that.  So, as a mid-term, I ask you, Broncos Country, if the season ended today, has Tim Tebow shown you enough to be given the off-season to prepare 100% as the starting quarterback of the Denver Broncos?  In order to avoid a comment battle, I am closing the comments on the poll.  Let the results stand on their own.

So last Saturday we had MHR Poll of the Week: Mid-Season Awards, and we got great results. This week we are going to announce the winners and post a few of the comments from each awards and then we will get onto this weeks poll. I got my Tux on and I'm ready to read the winner!

Skip Bayless said that Tim Tebow can lead the Broncos to the playoffs, this season. As I watched ESPN's First Take, I figured that Skip would be on board with Tebow - he always is - but I didn't quite expect him to take it that far.

Now, far be it from me to say that Tim Tebow "can't" or the Denver Broncos "can't". . But in the words of Jim Mora, "PLAYOFFS? PLAYOFFS? WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PLAYOFFS?"

The Broncos are currently 1 game out of first place in the AFC West. That's partially due to the fact that Tim Tebow is 2-1 as a starter and partially because the rest of the division is, for lack of a better word, bad. But do we really think that the Denver Broncos are playoff worthy? Just last week, there were a vast majority of people wondering if Tebow could play the position, at all.  Even on Sunday morning, people on twitter were discussing possible scenarios that would put Brady Quinn into the mix.

It's Monday and everything is different. According to Mr. Bayless, we have playoff aspirations. Personally, I think that 6 wins would be a successful record for this team. I'm all about optimism and aspirations, but I'm more interested in facts and reality, as well. I don't believe that we'll make the playoffs in 2011, but I'd be happy to eat crow. So, what do you think, Broncos fans?

Can they? Sure, they "can"... but "will they"? Will the Denver Broncos make the playoffs? Explain your answer in the comment section.

The final, and possibly most important, awards, of the group, Most Valuable Player. Like I said last time, I can't list the whole roster so I will just list the names of some players who have done particularly well this season, as well as some statistics to make sure it's not just on name value. Please try and remain unbiased in your votes, like I said for all the others.

Here's the links to all the polls so if you haven't voted, go back and make your voice heard.

We are onto the 3rd award of the day, Least Valuable Player Award. Now obviously I can't list the whole roster so I will just list the names of some players who have done particularly bad this season, as well as some statistics to make sure it's not just on name value. Also if you feel someone was left out, just vote other and let me know in the comments section.

Here's the links to all the polls so if you haven't voted, go back and make your voice heard.

So now we are onto the 2nd Mid-Seasons Awards article, this one is the exact opposite of the last, we are looking for your vote on which squad has been the worst this season. Like last time I will list each squad and a few of their statistics to add a bit more perspective to each choice. Good luck everyone, and feel free to make your voice heard even louder in the comments section since a few comments from each poll will be added to next weeks Poll of the Week.
