They are clearly tempting a team who needs a QB to trade up with them so the Broncos get the extra picks

After all, Bowlen needs BUTTS IN THE SEATS…..so what if it all blows up down the line? This is a crisis of FAITH…..the Broncos must promote the myth of the Tebow savior to save the finances of the franchise……..

Elway, however, (I am really getting to respect the man’s INTEGRITY) sees the folly of the short term hype and consequent BUST….Elway KNOWS quarterbacks…and, TEBOW is no franchise quarterback………

Remember MC HOODIE THE TERRIBLE picked Tebow……consider the SOURCE!

Nothing that I have seen since Elway took over changes my mind, and I don’t know why so many people don’t take what he is saying and doing as fact. When you have the second pick, you don’t have to put up smoke signals because short of whoever is picked first, you have your choice of anyone in the draft.

He’ll never be top or anything, but I think he’s got a better shot at being to 15-10 than Tebow does.

Just because Trent Dilfer wasn’t a stud and won a superbowl doesn’t mean that it’s commonplace. In the last 20 YEARS there has been 3 times where a stud QB didn’t win the Superbowl. The 3 QB’s were Trent Dilfer, Brad Johnson, and Mark Rypien. Other then that the other 17 were won by Brady(3), P. Manning(1), E. Manning(1), Roethlisberger(2), Rodgers(1), Warner(1), Favre(1), Young(1), Elway(2), Brees(1), Aikman(3). So don’t tell me that a team is better off keeping an average QB and selling out on defense…it’s not true. The numbers don’t support the theory, just because it happens a few times in 2 DECADES doesn’t make it some magical formula. Still not a believer? Just ask the Chicago Bears how it feels to dominate on defense and special teams every year and have nothing to show for it. Or, how about the Steelers before Big Ben showed up? Or, how about the Vikings and there great run defense that goes for not because they never have a QB that doesn’t play like a chump? Bottom line, anyone who thinks there team will win a Superbowl with a below average QB is simply not looking at the numbers, I would expect Broncos fans, especially, to understand this fact. Where have you guys been since Elway left? Denver will not have a historic defense like the Ravens and Bucs did, they are much better off trying to build around a stud at QB. Truth.

One effed up draft after another. The quarterback position isn’t the problem, the defense was. We honestly could use every draft pick on defense, we are that bad, but leave the offense alone. Tebow needs time before people start throwing him under the bus. What more do we want, the kid has the perfect attitude and tuff as nails. He will be fine, just get off his ass, atleast until he deserves it.

Isn’t he the son of Jesus who won a few national championships and a heisman?
I think he will do fine in the nfl.
If Eli and Dilfer can get a ring….so can Tebow.
Defense wins championships. Ask Billy Belichick.

They have; however, drafted excellent defensive players. Fox is a defensive coach. It makes more sense to draft 2-3 D players with the high picks than to waste one on any high pick QB in the draft. Also, there have been a lot of successful undrafted/late draft QBs.

Rodgers.

Franchise QBs are a rare commodity. You should ALWAYS look. And if anyone thinks the Broncos have a franchise QB, well, I’m sur e missing something. I’m not saying their QBs are bad, but they sure aren’t franchise QBs.

Paige’s real problem with taking another QB is having another Broncos’ regime saying that “This is the [magical] answer to our problems.” When the real work to building a team is really on the defensive side of the ball.

Its a passing league, if you don’t have a quarterback who is at least in the top half of starters you aren’t going to win.”

I would argue Orton is exactly as good as Eli Manning or Brad Johnson (lets throw out Delhome for good measure even though he came up short) who also won rings with defensive teams so no, Dilfer really isn’t an exception to me. I don’t know what’s harder though, to build a great defense, or find a championship caliber QB. You almost always have to have both to win a ring so it doesn’t really matter which direction you go in the draft, as long as you don’t draft a bust.

The Broncos defense was abysmal last year. You could have put Elway in his prime at QB on that team and they still would have lost nearly as many games. Drafting another QB in the 1st round isn’t going to improve anything on that team.

That said, I don’t think that the Broncos should take a quarterback in the first or second round this year. I don’t buy anyone in this years QB class. But quarterback is absolutely a potential need, and whenever that is the case for your team, you must painstakingly look into the incoming quarterback class.

Instead, its a pretty dang weak field, filled with guys with as many or more question marks as Tim Tebow. Coming off a season where the Broncos made the likes of John Skelton, Jason Campbell and Mike Tolbert look like HoF candidates, there’s more than thin air and Tebow mania adding to Broncos fans unease. The fact is, if the Broncos continue being soft and heartless on defense, they will still routinely lose by 20 no matter who’s playing QB. Throw in the fact that Tebow more than earned a longer audition and the whole investigating QB’s charade seems nonsensical at best, amateurish at worst.

It is easily my favorite city but the local sporting news coverage is something to be desired.

If I was a Bronco fan I would call for the entire’s teams front office’s head on a pike if they weren’t doing their homework on every player available to them including QBs. Even as a Packer fan I want my team looking at QBs.

Best player available. Ron Wold never stopped bringing in QBs even though the Packers had Favre. Tebow most likely isn’t the solution, maybe I am wrong but enough people agree with me that a back up plan is the smart way to go.

Period. Tim Tebow can’t play defense, Kyle Orton can’t play defense, John Elway can’t play defense. We have to get a stud DT in the draft. Tebow hasn’t been given enough of a chance to play for them to be able to determine whether or not he’s the right fit and it’s way too early to go in another direction. Bronco fans want wins and progress and drafting a 3rd QB in 5 years in the 1st round would be taking another step backwards.

Mcdaniels had no clue what he was doing giving up three draft picks for him. Great college player but I don’t think he will amount to much in the pros. They need defense.
