It pains me to say it. But I can't take it anymore. I love Tebow. I love how he's doing and absolutely unconditionally want him as our starting QB next year.

On a slow say, I thought I would talk about a different sort of topic.  Jim Irsay (owner of the Colts) said recently he would definitely consider taking Luck if he was in the position to do so.  He pointed out how Rodgers sat behind Farvre for a few years.  The MSM picked this up and ran with it for a while.  All of the MSM discussion really focused on it from the Colts point of view.  I believe there is no way Luck would sign with the Colts and here is why:

It's a slow day around here so I thought I would share what I am stewing about.  I hate the new kick off rule for 2 reasons.  The first one is obvious and it seems that pretty much everyone agrees.  It is that the kick off is an exciting play to watch and removing it seems so weird, so stale.  But what really has me steamed is that we are now forced to watch 2 sets of advertisements divided by this now senseless touch back.  I hate it.  I have always hated having two sets of commercials divided only by a single play, but now, that single play isn't even a play.  And if anybody believes they will just eventually remove the kickoff altogether, I say no chance.  There is no way the networks will lose the revenue by those extra commercials.  Sorry for the rant.  I just hate it.

Much like last year during the off season, there is a lot of chatter on our board about trading proven NFL players for more draft picks.  I say no thanks.  Draft picks turning into quality NFL players is far from a sure thing and loading your team with inexperience doesn't seem the best solution either and will likely increase the time of our next rebuilding phase.  I say trade some of these guys for proven NFL guys.  If we have to trade some of the names I hear around here (Orton or Champ or Gaff or Royal or Doom) <not that I agree with trading some of these guys...not the point of this post>, but if we have to trade some of these guys, let's get some proven NFL talent that can play right away and help teach the rookies.  For example, if we decide to trade Orton, trade him for a proven linebacker or defensive lineman.  I'm not sure why we are so enamored with draft picks, I suppose it is the "what if" factor for these guys where we only see their potential without truly considering that several of them will never pan out, and I guess it makes the mock drafts that much more entertaining.  That's my rant and I'm sticking to it.

Somebody on a recent post brought up the question of the Broncos moving to a new city.  I don't think think there is even a remote chance of that happening anytime soon, but it made me wonder.....

I thought I recalled on this site and maybe elsewhere that we would have an agressive defense.  However, it seems to me that is not the case in the passing game; my quesiton is why?

I keep hearing that Tebow has come to the right place because McD is a great QB coach.  I agree that McD is a great QB coach.  My question is that as the head coach, how much time can he spend working with Tebow?  I'm guessing he ate, drank, and slept (in different beds) with Cassell and Brady when he was the QB coach and/or offensive corrdinator.  But as a head coach, how much time can he realistically spend working with Tebow?

I am hearing some chatter on this board about trading Elvis Dumervil (Doom).  I think this is a very bad idea and here is why.

My thoughts from a recovered "Broncos are going down the wrong path" guy....

First, I've said it earlier and I'll say it again.  I couldn't have been more wrong about McD, and I couldn't be happier for being so wrong.  More after the jump:

I think it is an absolutely terrible idea to trade Marshall and here is why:  We just let Cutler cry his way out of Denver just  a couple of short months ago.  I have read MSM articles on how Curtler has created the blueprint on how to get out of Denver.  Blueprint?  Really?  He simply said I want to be traded and didn't return Bronco executive phone calls.  Although for very different reasons (money), Marshall follows this "blueprint" and says he wants out of Denver.  I know he isn't (so far) cutting off communication with management.  A lot of posters are saying to BM, "fine, if you don't want to be here then go somewhere else".  Um, that is a bad way to look at this, in my opinion.  I am not going to debate his off field issues or his abilities on the field.  What is important is that he must stay.  He must stay because it cannot be this easy to get out of Denver.  I am sure there were times in every players mind when they wanted out of Denver, including Elway and everybody else.....well except Rod Smith.  They may have only wanted out for a month or so before they got over it, but they probably wanted out.  If we keep saying that if you don't want to play for the Broncos then we will make sure we accomodate you, then this will never end.  I don't care if we like BM or not.  I don't care if we sit him the whole year.  Just don't trade him!

OK.  So we spend most of our free agent signings on running backs and defensive backs.  I was assuming that McD didn't like any of the front 7 free agents that were available.  It seemed odd that we didn't find anybody that would be considered an upgrade.  It seemed the consensus here was that we would focus on the front 7 in the draft.  The draft comes along and we focus on running backs and defensive backs again.  I have never heard of such a strategy.  I am a bit skeptical of this.... can anybody help justify the strategy?
