Broncos @ Patriots

[tooge]

so, say TT isn't the answer and he has basically peaked, which many many NFL guys have stated is what they think is the case. They improve some of the cast around him, and get a little better. After a year or two of seeing the same TT, they realize its time to move in a more conventional direction with a QB. They draft some young guy. It takes him two years to develop. Now your window is closed. The young D isn't young anymore. It is a win now league, and the possibility of setting the organization back four or five years by sticking with TT is what would worry me if I was a Bronco fan. I am not however, so I say stick with him.

Please notice what I'm saying here... I believe that by upgrading the talent around him (true TE threat(s) and pass catching RBs) will not only help him, but it would help any QB.

I'm not asking for them to implement an offense that is only custom built for TT... I believe that if Denver had more mature and proven WRs and a legit TE threat, you would have seen more passing - especially short yardage.

If you deny the fact that Denver's WRs/TEs weren't up to par with most other teams... then I think you're either overlooking something that is pretty obvious or just laser focused on making TT the root of all their offensive problems.

And, to me... TT has 2012 to show what he can do at QB with a few more improved weapons around him. The guy is signed through 2014, but they are not tied to him by a crazy contract. I think if they can improve the talent on offense and they get more creative with the offense... yet, he still doesn't improve, then ... you demote him, cut him, whatever going into 2013.

Base salary
2010: $1.295 million (fully guaranteed)
2011: $1.618.75 million (fully guaranteed)
2012: $1.942.5 million (fully guaranteed)
2013: $2.266.75 million (fully guaranteed)
2014: $2.590.5 million ($567,500 guaranteed)

Defense ... the goal of every team should always be to continue to enhance your defense and that doesn't have anything to do with who the QB is on offense.
