Long time Bronco fan. Grew up in NJ, surrounded by G-men and Jets. How did I become a Broncos fan? I don't know. My parents have always told me they don't remember me rooting for any other team and they don't know how I started liking them. I can tell you this though, I was a fan before we won the Super Bowls so even though I was very young at that age I could appreciate it.
Also a HUGE fan of the draft, which explains why I'm always on MTD. Its just a fascinating process and can give any fan a reason of optimism for the upcoming season.

2 Round Mock Draft
by DBroncs1414 on Apr 6, 2012 4:07 PM EDT
on Mocking The Draft
1. Indianapolis Colts: Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford
2. Washington Redskins: Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor
3. Minnesota Vikings: Matt Kalil, OT, USC
Madden Cover: Tebow vs. Miller
So this is interesting, each team has 2 representatives for the Madden cover voting process. This is a tough one for me. Miller was great this year, but Tebow's Tebow. I pose to you MHR, who would you rather see on the Madden cover: Tebow or Miller?

I know, it's been a while, you al have missed me. I've been on this site multiple times a day but I've been way too busy to mock or comment as frequently as I used to. Finally Spring Break started so I decided to do a mock.
1st Mock in What Seems Like Forever

Hey boys, how have you all been? I know you guys have been clawing out your eyes because you haven't heard from me in a while. The reason for my absence was that I've been in Ireland. Beautiful country but I'm glad to be back to give you this mock:

Todd Haley Predicts Broncos to Beat Patriots
Don't have a link because he literally just said it a second ago on this show called "Audibles." I was very surprised and Keyshawn Johnson (who picked the Pats) said something along the lines of: you know best, you played them both this year.
While obviously this doesn't increase our chances of winning, it's interesting to hear the perspective of a guy who was an active NFL HC a week ago. Hopefully Haley's right!
DBroncs Keys to the Pats Game

on Mile High Report
I'm usually not a major contributor here, and I don't really enjoy doing fanposts often. But as a roommate of 5 Patriots fans, I would just like to share my thoughts on what we need to do to beat this team. Let me preface this by saying this is a winnable game. I hate to admit but I would say the Pats are more likely to win, but here's a couple things we need to do to change that.

Another DBroncs Mock Draft (With Trades)
by DBroncs1414 on Dec 13, 2011 6:28 PM EST
on Mocking The Draft
I haven't done a mock in over a week, starting to have withdrawals. Won't do an explanation for everyone, and per usual order is from walterfootball.com. For the trades, try not to rip me for the exact picks in each trade, its pretty hard to figure out exactly. And I got so fed up with them I didn't do any for the 2nd.
Midseason Mock 3.0
by DBroncs1414 on Nov 30, 2011 1:55 PM EST

I'm avoiding explanations except for picks where I need to so I can get this done quickly. Once again order's based on walterfootball.com
Miller gets fined $25K for late hit on Sanchez
If you ask me, this is grade A BS. When I first saw it I thought it was a questionable late hit, and since the refs didn't throw the flag I don't think the league should've fined Miller. In slow-mo, it looks pretty bad, but at full speed its a bang-bang play. Shame on you Goodell

The order is based on walterfootball.com, although with some teams with the same records/playoff teams I changed them up a bit.

Mock Trade Deadline Thread
by DBroncs1414 on Oct 14, 2011 12:56 PM EDT
on Mocking The Draft
Whats up MTD? I'm back with another hypothetical. The trade deadline is approaching and on MHR one of our staff writers made some "mock trades" with staff writers from other SB nation sites. I thought we could have fun with this as well. My plan for this is for everyone to first post who they are looking to trade/what they are looking to get, and if you like what some other team is offering go into negotiations with them. If any trades become "official" I'll edit the post and put it up top. To set some boundaries, let's keep the picks to only 2012 and 2013. I'll post my Broncos bit in the comments so if anyone wants to negotiate just respond to my comment. This may sound a bit wierd but I think if everyone is civil this could be fun. So let's get to it.

Report: Tebow Likely Number 2 Against Seattle
And the drama continues. I've never seen a more dramatic backup QB battle. Glad to see the reports this week were total crap

Tebow Figures in Broncos' Future
Great article by Legwold which sums up what I believe is the plan right now. With Orton and Quinn in contract years, and unlikely to resign, I think they let Tebow sit and refine his skills, and then they will give him his shot next year with a full offseason. That's the sparknotes version, and I can go on, but Legwold's article does a better job then I can of it. This may be in the Tracks tomorrow but I wanted to give it extra attention with a well deserved Fanshot

MTD Live Draft Signups
Before anyone gets crazy, this is admittedly extremely early, but the commish at MTD wanted to do sign ups now. I'm currently the GM of our team, but "seton hall and steelers" wants each team to have a "HC" and a "Head of Scouting" although its not mandatory. I'm no Josh McDaniels (don't take the joke too seriously like I know some will) so I would love to have two other minds with me. If you want to join, just respond on the thread and he'll put you in.
Its still months down the road, but if anyone wants to join in please do, I'd love the help.
ESPN's First Power Rankings
We're at 27 to start the year, and for a team that had the 2nd pick that's respectable. The one thing I disagree with is how Kuharsky says Fox will struggle early while Mike Muchak will "squeeze something out of the Titans." He has them ranked 20th, which is a disgrace when you consider their best player is holding out. There are a couple teams you could argue to bring down and some explanations that make you scratch your head, but all in all its pretty solid and I like where we are at right now.
Hidden Nugget in Andrew Mason Article
The quote: "Tebow, to his credit, answered questions for several minutes after his usual post-practice work. This followed a session that was arguably his best of training camp.
During the seven-on-seven period, he went 4-of-5 with a touchdown and an interception. In the red-zone periods later in practice, he flung touchdown passes to Mark Dell and David Anderson. On the Dell touchdown, he rolled left and threw a pass across his body that went 40 yards in the air; on the Anderson play, he fired a modified jump pass that was more like a half-hop, much to the delight of many fans in attendance."
Also goes on to say he did split reps with Quinn on 2nd O, but I think as a Tebowite its pretty reassuring to see Tebow respond to the crap storm that has swirled around him this week and put together his best practice. The Woody article made me waver slightly on his confidence and drive to prove his doubters wrong, but this reminded me this is Tim freakin' Tebow!
I've been working since 7 am EST, so maybe this was brought up, but I just saw it now and thought it was worthwhile to notice. Hopefully this reassures other Tebowites like me who got a little nervous!

Orton discussion at the Phinsider
I started a fanshot over at Phinsider (Phins Sb nation website) discussing Orton and other minutia's surrounding said topic. I've kept it civil and their members have been very kind and generous. I'm not the fastest typer in the world so if any of you want to help please swing on by. But please, be civil, we're representing MHR and they are very hospitable
Hello Phinsider, If you couldn't tell I'm a die hard Broncos fan, and I frequent both MHR and MTD, the SB nation sites for the Broncos and the NFL draft, respectively. I come in peace, I don't want to offend or rip on your team, and I hope you can treat me the same.
I really just want to discuss the idea of an Orton trade. I'm not saying it's definite, but I want to see the trade from your side. Through skimming your website, I've gathered many of you are happy you didn't pull the trigger for Orton when the deal was "close." While I can understand some reasons for that, I just want to know why exactly you don't want him in Miami, whether it be the compensation, contract, etc. So please, I'm willing to have a civil debate here, and if other MHR members have come here before for this reason, then I'll just delete this to save redundancy. So without further adieu: Why does the Phinsider not want Kyle Orton?
DB's Look at the 2012 NFL Draft
by DBroncs1414 on Jul 18, 2011 10:01 AM EDT
on Mile High Report
What's good MHR? I haven't been commenting/posting as much as I'd like lately due to the fact I got a summer job. Don't worry, I've been here everyday reading posts, shots, and front page material. Looking forward to the end of the lockout as much as you guys are, and while I realize the 2012 draft is far down the list of priorities for us Broncos fans, I thought it would be fun to give you guys a basic look at the draft. This is more then just a Broncos post, as I intended this to help MHR begin to familiarize itself with the 2012 draft and its prospects (yes, I have draftivus all year round). I figure its always helpful to look at the top prospects before the season and track them throughout it so you have players to focus on throughout the season and makes college football even more interesting to watch.

DB's "On the Money" Mock Draft
by DBroncs1414 on Jul 11, 2011 7:34 PM EDT
on Mocking The Draft
I hate doing it this early, I usually tell myself to wait until after the college bowl season, but I think this would be considered circumstance to bend the rules (Damn you lockout!). As with all mocks this early, don't buy into the order. O, and the title is a complete joke.
Individual Awards Predictions
by DBroncs1414 on Jun 30, 2011 5:59 PM EDT
on Mocking The Draft
I'm back with another hypothetical to prevent lockout suicide. This one will be predicting the variety of individual awards given at the end of each season. If I forget an award or 2 I'll update my predictions because these are the ones I remember off the top of my head.
NFL's Best O-Lineman
From Pat Kirwan on nfl.com. Not really a big fan of his, and its not just because of the half-assed analysis for Clady. He mentions Clady had a down year, but fails to mention it was because of the injury from... basketball... (smh). I'm not too mad with where he is which is 11th on his list. Clady should continue to rise as he gets healthy this year and bounces back with a strong year. Kirwan also gave a shoutout to his athleticism but I still believe his strength in run blocking is severely underrated.
Who's Your Breakout Candidate(s)?
by DBroncs1414 on Jun 9, 2011 6:38 PM EDT
on Mocking The Draft
In this boring offseason, here's another hypothetical to kill time until this lockout deal is done with. Who do you think will be a breakout player this year? He could be from your team, or any other team. Also, don't just toss a name out there, give reasons such as coaching change, scheme change, another acquisition, etc. that will make him better. More then one is welcome of course. Try and avoid rookies or guys that receive a lot of publicity, I'm looking for a guy on a roster right now we don't know so well. The more obscure the better.
A Look at Tebow's First 3 Starts
by DBroncs1414 on May 26, 2011 1:52 PM EDT
on Mile High Report
So the idea for this post came from a debate I was having with a Rams fan on MTD. He was trying to say Tebow's starts at the end of the year were laughable. One of his many points were that he felt the media has been too kind to him (LOL!) and that the expectations for him were so low everyone excuses his "poor" performance. So, being a sound debater, I provided some stats to back me up on how he did play well for a rookie. I will get into those stats later, but as a true debater I used some facts as well.

I'm not going to go with exact records, but I'm just going to rank the teams 1-4 in their division and I will make a note on which teams I think will make the playoffs.

Comparing Today's Prospects to Past Ones
by DBroncs1414 on Apr 6, 2011 3:07 PM EDT
on Mocking The Draft
I couldn't fully explain what this post was in the title, but I'll do my best here. I want to look at prospects of today and compare them to others from a draft standpoint, meaning either they'll be reached for or will fall due to circumstances out of their control. If you still don't get it just read on and I think you'll begin to understand.
