Yep.

Can't believe how stupid some of the fans are- they think that they know NFL Qbing better than John Elway does.

Pure idiocy.

I can't believe how stupid people are.. this KC team just shut down Aaron Rodgers.. and he has a heck of a lot better team and coach than Tebow does.

Tebow led this team to the playoffs in spite of their weaknesses...

Any normal pocket passer could not have done what Tebow did with this team. Orton just proved that.

Put Tebow on the Chiefs and he would be better than Orton there too.

Exactly

KC scored 7 pts and we still couldn't win? Pretty sad if you ask me.

Tebow has miles to go

Hey.. say what you want about Tebow.. but he can at least stay healthy.. and makes the Broncos run game go from one of the worst to the best in the league.

I doubt any other QB could stay healthy in this offense let alone win games.

People are forgetting Tebow is the one that covered up all the weaknesses of this team..even on defense. And the Broncos coaches are doing nothing to reciprocate the favor. Just using what he provides and taking credit for it.

Les was saying on Sunday Sports Zone tonight at halftime he saw a personnel guy and jokingly said, can we get a guy that can throw the ball. The guy said, its on the top of our xmas wish list. We'll see how true that is in offseason.

Les would say he saw a spaceship if it got him ratings and 2 minutes of facetime.

Tebow for Gabbert. don't they like tebow in Jacksonville? Gabbert can actually throw the ball if he's smart enough to pick up a system.

Winning makes everything look perfect.

We were winning, so we didn't care that Tebow couldn't complete passes. We got a few lucky plays and it put us into position to win.

Tebow has heart, but lacks everything else needed by a QB.

Have people forgotten that Orton couldn't function in this offense either?

NO QB can function in Fox's offense...

You guys are forgetting that a normal QB would not be "protected" in the pocket the way Tebow is. The only reason he is is because of his own running ability.

At Florida the players were HIGH on their backup just like here in Denver.. they said ..

"we have a great run game.. and line.. and defense.. a great coach.. if only we had a real QB not Tebow we would be even more unstoppable"

Then Tebow left and it all collapsed... it all disappeared.

You haven't been able to see the complete offense Fox wants to run. He couldn't install everything he wanted with no offseason and then he had to run the option for Tebow.

I love Tebow and I want nothing more for them to go on to have a Hall of Fame career. That said, I think the Broncos should make a play for Matt Flynn. It wouldn't make a lot of sense to bring in a rookie quarterback that isn't one of the elite like Luck or Griffin. Since they seemed to have played their way out of those guys, Flynn makes a lot of sense. I think he'll get some unfair comparisons to Matt Cassel by some of you, but I have a much better feeling about him.

Sign Flynn and draft some more pieces to put around him and the Broncos will probably win the West again next year in a more legitimate way.

I think in the end what's dissapointing is that Tebow won't take chances to make tight throws. He started doing that after his first few games, then had a really, really bad go of it in Buffalo and promptly shut down this game. I can take mistakes, picks, etc. from a young QB. I can't take not trying to make a throw because a DB is within a few yards of his receivers..

I'm hoping he can improve on that in the offseason. But I get ahead of myself, I hope he can improve on it by next week. If we're eliminated then I still want Tebow back for a full season as starter but if there is no progress then we should look in another direction, I don't think now is the time to do it.

I'll watch every game thanks. I'd bet you'd laugh your ass off at any team that backed into playoffs like we did not named Denver though.

Its a exp for the young guys I agree. I just think if you can't earn a playoff spot yourself to a team that scored 7 pts in your crib and not win you honestly don't deserve spot. By end of the week I'll want to win this game I'm pissed at today's game.

Division winners hosting a home playoff game.
I remember when people were saying that they didn't want to go 8-8 with kyle orton as our quarterback.... and someone said well 8-8 can get you into the playoffs and it was laughed at.

hopefully we'll win a playoff game at home next week... the sexual predator is hobbled was a bad ankle and mendenhall is out... as is ryan clark.
