Good. Hopefully they don't sign anyone to compete with him

God's anointed NFL disciple has earned starting status in 2012

By ARNIE STAPLETON, AP Pro Football Writer 57 minutes ago

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP)—Tim God's anointed NFL disciple will enter training camp as the Denver Broncos’ starting quarterback for 2012.

The team sought to curb the circus that’s sure to surround God's anointed NFL disciple this offseason by declaring him the incumbent at a season-ending news conference Monday.

John Elway, a Hall of Famer who rejoined the team a year ago as chief of football operations, has pledged to work with God's anointed NFL disciple this offseason to polish his passing game.

God's anointed NFL disciple took over a 1-4 team in October and guided the Broncos to their first playoff berth since 2005. His 80-yard TD toss on the first play of overtime beat Pittsburgh in the wild-card round before the Broncos lost at New England Saturday.

God's anointed NFL disciple is the Broncos’ only quarterback under contract for 2012.

I haven't said anything similar to that... I fully realize that you can't plug and play him with any offense. They treated him with kid gloves this year, they were way too conservative. All that has to change - if they don't think they can add players to make things better, then yeah - they should move on.

We'll see how it goes.

I was not calling you out at all. You are a level headed classy poster. I was speaking about a large group of the Bronco fan base that has abandoned reason and logic regarding this extremely lucky and limited fullback pretending to be a QB~

Win any ONE of those games and you guys can officially call it quits. What kind of a "winner" attitude is that?

Yes, I'm aware of the contradiction in me saying Tebow sucks and then turning around to hold him to a high standard. The point I'm trying to make is that he apparently "just wins games" when he has something to prove to people. Otherwise... oops, I guess.

That's the perplexing piece to all this, isn't it?

A lot of it is playcalling - again, I'm sure they had trust issues, both in TT and the offense as a whole. The Broncos WRs and TEs won't be confused with elite, only Royal had more than 2 seasons under his belt when TT took over.

Thomas and Decker were drafted with him... Thomas missed all of 2011 essentially, and none of those 3 was a legit #1. Thomas could be, but he didn't really come on until late.

The Bills game... that was just silly with the turnovers (3) and the defense didn't play all that great. KC ... they just flat out blew that one.

People talk about his work this offseason, but the league is also going to have a full offseason to game plan for the gimmicks and twists of a Tebow offense.

This. If he was the QB for the Chiefs/Raiders/Chargers, all Denver fans would be trashing him just like the rest of us.

All we've heard for the past season is how Timmay "wills his team to win." Where was that will against the Patriots? For that matter, where was that will against the Chiefs? You'd think that if that was really an attribute of his, he would have chosen to use it in those circumstances.

I think you've distorted the comments a bit...
