hanie resurrected josh mccown’s career.

tebow beat hanie, so… lets dispense with the “hanie is better than the broncos last starter” pap.
*****************
Um, actually, Marion Barber going out of bounds beat Hanie…just sayin’

Look, if they had Tebow and brought in Volek or Drew Stanton to compete with him, there’s a chance that Tebow could get beat out for the job. Whether they bring in Volek, Stanton, Hanie, Vince Young, whoever, Peyton Manning wouldn’t get beat out for the job.

I’m a Tebow fan, but can we just stop with the “Broncos wanted Tebow to fail” narratives already?

When Manning goes down with the last injury of his career, out trots Hanie.

6 months later, Goodell approaches the podium…

“Welcome to the 2013 NFL draft, the Denver Broncos are on the clock…”

Peyton Manning becomes the reverse Steve Deberg…

Really john? Can vince young get a call maybe a tryout? I mean he did beat the superbowl champs in new york but hey thats just my thought. Peyton wants a caddie not a backup, i bet the most action Hanie gets all year is bringing coffee to the QB meetings.

Hanie? That disaster of a QB formerly with the Bears? I suppose Elway’s college football team dropout son, Jack, wasn’t available.

Looks like the raiders will still have shot at the division… when Peyton goes down in the first game…one too many neck fusions!

Elway: If Manning gets hurt, i want Barkley.

Thats what i got from this signing, as a Bronco fan.

bet u they don’t sign hanie if tebow is still the “starter”…they would of brought in volek and probably drew s. to compete with him and hope that they beat him out come week 1…smh

The Broncos have a fixation for bad Bears QBs (Orton, Hanie); maybe they can reacquire the worst of them all- Jay Cutler.

Bah, Cutler is far from the worst Bears QB. Have you forgotten the perennially horrible Jim Miller? Honestly, how did he manage to keep his job? Of course, even he wasn’t nearly as bad as Cade McNown. That was a bad QB!

I do feel bad for the guy. In the few Bears games that I had to watch in my area, the cameras always found his parents, wife, and sister sitting in the stands. They always looked so bored while he was on the field getting knocked around and throwing terrible passes.

It’s gotta be tough to struggle that badly in front of your whole family.

hahaha the only reason elway wants caleb is because if peyton goes down, their guaranteed the 1st overall pick with hannie at the helm.

@andyreiddoublecheeseburger: Seriously, dude, it’s been three years, you need to get over your anger issues…Most Bears fans love Jay, he was not the pariah many Denver fans portrayed him as, and now with Marshall to throw to he will be even better.

I have watched the NFL football for 45 years and have never seen the Bears have a OL that could protect a fly. But they love to blame QB’s. Cutler is outstanding and if he had a OL and some weapons it could be seen. But never with the Bears! If Manning or Brady had played for them we would have never heard of them!!!

I was pretty convinced that Hanie would be doing something for a living that has nothing to do with the NFL. I guess I was wrong.

Elway is the Dan Snyder of the AFC.
The pencil neck geek QB won’t last the season, costing the mules a playoff birth.
But he’s Elway so he’ll shine no matter what.

I totally disagree with you guys. I have been a Bears fan for over 3o years and am well versed on bad quarterback. Elway sees some upside to Hanie. Lets not forget that he came off the bench in the NFC championship game and led the best Bears drive of the game. This guy has not had a reasonable amount of playing time to call him a washout. He has a strong arm, good size and lived through Mike Martz and a bad O-line. He absolutley positively needed to leave Chicago for the sake of the the team and himself. Being on the same team with Manning and Elway is a huge opportunity for Hanie. Handed the reigns of a good offense he might just take off.

@nflfollower: There is something better…jjwalkerisdynomite’s left shoe.

@shorttracknews: As another poster has mentioned, the Bears actually won the SD game where Cutler got hurt, which made them 7-3. Hanie went 0-4 as the starter, and McCown 1-1.

And yeah, as bad as Hanie was against Denver, it was Marion Barber who cost us that game by stepping out-of-bounds, and then fumbling in OT.

@elrock7

Tebow didn’t do much against the Bears last year, huh? He threw for 236 and a touchdown, ran for another 49. He also put a long would-be touchdown pass on the hands of an open Demaryius Thomas, but was dropped, so these numbers could have been better. Are you sure you saw the game?
