I hope Denver doesn't make the same mistake. The bottom line is Tebow can't get replaced for next year. So the Broncos will work on his throwing of the football. If he can excel at that they have a good shot, otherwise they will go backwards. Winning is good...sometimes.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-31123345567508951792011-11-30T09:57:49.123-05:002011-11-30T09:57:49.123-05:00In this article (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?...In this article (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=jc-cole_direct_snap_broncos_tim_tebow_winning_112911) Jason Cole compares the current Broncos to the 2008 Dolphins. I think that is pretty spot on. Next year, with a tougher schedule and a probably improved Norv Turnerless San Diego team, I doubt the Bronco's will repeat this season's success.Ericbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-75962590780975512082011-11-30T09:43:23.460-05:002011-11-30T09:43:23.460-05:00Eric, I agree.

Can't argue with success, but success also leads to worse draft position.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-14493471824167793312011-11-30T09:36:38.437-05:002011-11-30T09:36:38.437-05:00Rich, they have Jake Delhomme now! Everything will...Rich, they have Jake Delhomme now! Everything will be fine!<br /><br />I think the Ravens comparison is a good one. Tebow has done a great job not turning the ball over, but you have to win the game by running the ball and playing great defense. It helps to have an excellent defense. Tebow should get as much credit as Dilfer got...and I don't mean a Super Bowl MVP trophy.<br /><br />For me, the credit goes to the defense to Tebow for not turning the ball over. I don't think it is sustainable, but the more I say that, the more the Broncos win games. Tebow wouldn't be money if the other team could score first in OT. <br /><br />In regard to your comment on Alex Smith, it does matter when we aren't talking about Tebow. That was my point about Sanchez. He threw 4 TD passes and they were "soft" or whatever he wrote about them. The idea it doesn't matter how it happens isn't used here b/c Sanchez is now being held to a higher level than Tebow is. For Tebow, 4 TD passes would be great, but for Sanchez Peter isn't impressed. Then he makes a comment about Alex Smith missing an open receiver...of course I guess this mattered b/c SF didn't win. All is forgiven w/ a win. <br /><br />Not a fan of Perry Fewell, huh?Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-17002661943180245462011-11-30T09:26:12.565-05:002011-11-30T09:26:12.565-05:00I can see Denver beating every team on their remai...I can see Denver beating every team on their remaining schedule except for New England (and maybe Chicago).

It's not like Kubiak didn't know going into the game that he'd be down to two actual QBs.<br /><br /><b>And Eric Decker making circus catches. That about covers it.</b><br /><br />At one point, Tebow led back to back drives that <i>lost yardage</i>. That's incredible.<br /><br />People also point to Tebow consuming the clock... except SD actually had the ball for about a minute more in that game and Tebow had six drives that lasted under 2 minutes.<br /><br />You can win with Tebow and he deserves some credit (1 turnover in 6 games), but you have to win the same way Baltimore won with Dilfer or Baltimore wins with Flacco.<br /><br />Defense and run the ball.<br /><br /><b>the quarterback is money in the fourth quarter every single week of that stretch, you've got to say, "Who cares how it's happening. It's happening.''</b><br /><br />This might be the dumbest thing I've read in a while. Peter it matters because it's not sustainable. You can't rely on your defense (unless it's historically great, which, let's be honest Denver's isn't) to hold the opposing team to 10-13 points and pray that the offense can tie the game on the final drive.<br /><br />Even more so, in both OT wins, the Broncos got the ball second.<br /><br /><b>Alex Smith missing a wide-open Delaney Walker on the first 49er offensive play of the game. Big, big error.</b><br /><br />Tim Tebow went an entire half without completing a pass and the Broncos won. Who cares how it happens right?<br /><br /><b>Perry Fewell (Giants)</b><br /><br />I hope this happens. Fewell sucks.richnoreply@blogger.com
