Brandon Spano reporting....Koppen coming to Denver!
This is a great pick up for Denver. Stoked. He's a gamer, and good vet!Hi Guys, Thanks for all the comments from yesterday's part 1. I have added KEY MATCH UPS to both PART 1 and to Part 2 here. So check it out, and get back to me with comments. Enjoy!
Hi Y'All, I was watching Damien Woody's inanely stupid, and frankly, regurgitated ESPN crap in Horsetracks this morning, and it got an idea going for me. One of the biggest loads of crap out there...
My fears were correct. Q out for at least 2 weeks with surgery. We need to sign Jim Leonhard if hes OK.
Hilarious "The Freaking" skit on SNL.
Hey All, Have not written much for a while as I am super busy. Anyway, many of you know I am a HUGE fan of Tim Tebow. I rate the young fella as a man, a leader, a talented football player and...
Mmm...like all of them, a little contrived, but worth a watch.
Twitter just went down! Assuming its because Tebow just got traded!
BoydyElway needs to actually check some facts and see where Tebow stands up against other QB's. Remember , this is a Qb with only 16 games under his belt, yet their are geniuses that want to toss him to the curb already. Read this article, and then make some educated decisions. Ray Flloyd and Jim Furyk have TERRIBLE golf swings...both one majors! Just sayin'
Per the Twiitersphere Manning will be visiting with the Titans and the Texans.
Shows me he maybe not that impressed with Denver. What is the plan now as EFX went all in with chips on table for Manning. Going to be interesting my friends!Hey, Been lots of passion about the Broncos getting Peyton Manning. Just want to say I did not mean to offend anyone with my passion. SO i thought I would just put some bullet points of the...
Hey, As a PROFESSIONAL COACH in the same industry as Mike McCoy, I have never been so DISGUSTED in a fellow coach as he called plays today. The guy is DISGRACE and I will tell you why. Follow...
OK, Listen up everyone. This will be short and sweet, but to say I am pissed off by our "supposed" fan base and some idiotic concepts that some of these geniuses are putting out there would be...
Does not sound like a guy who is doubting his young QB!
Two other teams (49ers & Broncos) were also scheduled to attend Luck's potential home finale. Denver source says they didn't end up coming.
Interesting tweet from Jeff Darlinton. Broncos DONT attend Luck's last game.Look, some of us said this. ALL players will be evaluated on their "body of work". Now, people will say Elway is covering his ass. OK...I think he is still going to play close to his chest, but he appears genuine, and shows a great deal of common sense. Way to go John Elway!
Hi Y'All, Been following all the "outrage" on Twitter world regarding Elway's comments on Tim Tebow today. To be honest, I did not take them as much....and I will explain this in my post. F...
Vic Lombardi knocks this out of the park. Where is the chip on the shoulder of our team? Where is defending each other? Why the hell would a Denver fan allow an opposition player to jump into the stands? Our team and our fans have to show some nasty. No-one is scared of our team, the players need to have each others back. I saw NONE of this against the Lions. How have we fallen so far?
"Yeah, we did. Champ!"
-Denver safety Brian Dawkins, when asked if the Broncos did anything specific to defend Dolphins wide receiver Brandon Marshall. The former Broncos star had six catches for 61 yards. YOU HAVE TO LOVE THIS QUOTE! OLD DOGS STEPPED UP TODAY!Funny how we now have a QB that has put up some of the greatest college numbers EVER behind a spread offense. Hope Fox, McCoy and Elway read this article!
"Tebow is a special player. I have never seen a player quite like him in my whole career! I’m gonna play all out for the guy! I know he will be out there giving 110% every play every week, so I’m gonna give 120%!" (NFL Network Open Locker Room interview) – Taylor Kopeinkin
FROM CHAMP BAILEY:NFL Network Open Locker Room interview) – Taylor KopeinkinNate Jackson tells it how it is. I love his take, and he hits this one out of the park!
Who looked at Cam Newton's film and "saw it"? Tebow criticism is of a personal nature. What if analysts talked about Newton like they did about Tebow? Can you imagine the aftershocks? It would be termed as racial, and piling on, and guys with cushy network gigs would lose jobs. And it doesn't make sense. Say I tell you about a first-round pick, Quarterback X (or Quarterback T, which is more apropos), who sat for the first 13 games of his rookie season, then saw action in the final three games of the year. In his first start, he throws for 138 yards and runs for 78. He accounts for two touchdowns and has a rating of 100.5. Then in his second start, he throws for 308, runs for 27 and again accounts for two touchdowns as his team goes on a 14-0 run in the fourth quarter to win. Then in his third start, he hits for 205 through the air, 94 on the ground and totals three touchdowns. We're talking about this guy like he's the new Shaq of the NFL. Except it's Tim Tebow, so no one gives him the credit he deserves and instead he sits on the bench, because your new head coach doesn't want to be told what to do, and pundits don't like to be told they're wrong. In his first action after months of inactivity, he nearly rallies his team to victory, and it's met with a shoulder shrug by everyone outside of the Broncos' fan base.
From Jason Smith of NFL Network. Does this ring true to anyone?"I don't know how they'll do as far as wins, but I can tell you they won't be disappointed in him,'' said Jabar Gaffney, the Redskins veteran receiver who played with and caught passes from Tebow last year in Denver, where he went 1-2 as the Broncos starter in the last three games of the season. "You won't find a guy who's going to work harder out there and compete any harder than Tim. Last year I got to play with him as a rookie, and I got to work out with him a couple times over this past offseason. "I could just see in our workouts that he was a bit more poised over the offseason. He changed up his throwing a little bit, and he was getting rid of the ball a lot quicker and making some great throws. I'm excited myself to see how he does out there actually. Because from playing with him last year, and working out with him this year, it was like night and day. You could see that confidence inside of him, like he's ready to play now.'' Gaffney believes he knows. He's been at the other end of a Tebow spiral, and that's something no TV analyst can match at the moment. "Man, that dude can make every throw out there,'' said Gaffney, who, like Tebow, starred at the University of Florida. " It may not always be pretty, but he can make every throw out there and he can throw just as far as any quarterback in the league. So there's definitely no question about his arm strength. "As a receiver, it gives you a little bit of extra confidence in knowing he will keep a play alive with his feet. You can never stop on a route, because he gets out of some stuff and he'll throw it to you. Whereas in most cases, you'll look back and you'll be like, 'Oh, man, the quarterback's sacked.' Not with Tebow. He'll come out of it somehow, because he keeps plays alive. As a receiver, you've just always got to stay ready for him.''
Jabar Gaffney. Gaffney pours cold water on amny of the MSM experts like Dilfer, Hoge and Billick. Gaffney has no reason to say these things. He does not play here anymore, so I am more than willing to believe Gaffney over any of these guys. He has played with Tebow after all!Hey Guys, This is basically a reply to put to Troy Hufford's fun read. It relates to the development stages for all athletes and teams and I thought some of you might like the information. I...
" 46.2: Kyle Orton’s quarterback rating the last two years on possessions that began in the last 10 minutes of regulation when trailing by eight points or less. The series that ended in a tipped Will Witherspoon interception with 1:39 remaining in the game was the 11th that Orton and the Broncos have faced in in that scenario since Week 1 of the 2010 season. From these 11 possessions, the Broncos have scored just once: last year in Week 4 at Tennessee, when Orton hit Correll Buckhalter for a game-winning, 6-yard touchdown two plays after a 49-yard pass-interference penalty put the Broncos into first-and-goal. Orton’s raw statistics in this scenario the last two years are as follows: Completions-attempts: 22-of-46 Yards: 267 Completion percentage: 47.8 Yards per attempt: 5.80 Touchdowns: 1 Rushes-yards: 3 for 12 Yards per carry: 4.0 Sacks-yards lost: 5 for 27 Interceptions: 3 Fumbles lost: 1" This is what many of us have been saying for the past 3 seasons. These are VERY sobering numbers.
Albert makes some interesting points, including there in no overwhelming evidence that sitting a young QB actually helps them. Just thought some people might find this interesting. Once again: Long Term Development vs Win Now.
Hey dudes, This will be a post of raw emotion with no punches pulled. I will probably insult some people, call people out, bag on myself and piss people off, but at this stage, I just dont...
