Broncos | John Elway says it will take time for Tim Tebow to be great

Fri, 04 Feb 2011 20:42:22 -0800

Denver Broncos vice president of football operations said Friday, Feb. 4, that it is going to take time for QB Tim Tebow to be great in the NFL, reports Dave Krieger, of The Denver Post. "Tim, as I've said, is a guy that is a very good football player," Elway said. "He is not a great quarterback yet. Hopefully we can make him a great quarterback, but I think that's going to take some time, first he needs to learn to pass like an NFL quarterback should pass, right now he's clueless. Next he's going to have to understand the playbook, at this time he is have a great deal of difficulty understanding what x means and what o means." But Elway added, he's got a great work ethic and believes in God so that's gotta count for something.

Broncos | Champ Bailey likely won't be back

Fri, 04 Feb 2011 20:35:22 -0800

Denver Broncos CB Champ Bailey is not likely to be back with the team in 2011, reports Jeff Legwold, of The Denver Post. The report adds that the price for Bailey, using the franchise tag, is likely too steep for a team in the rebuilding process.

[KurtCobain]

They'll be in the cellar for years.

[BigCatDaddy]

Bailey is no longer worth the Franchise Tag if there will be one.

[FAX]

This can't be real. Real quotes, I mean ...

Can it?

[Hammock Parties]

Tebow will take a long time to realize his potential.

A very, very long time.

A looooooooooong time.

I'm no Tebow fan, but what about his 'story' differentiates him in a negative way from Cassel?

[Dave Lane]

But Elway added, he's got a great work ethic and believes in God so that's gotta count for something.



This made me laugh out loud. Really?!?

[Quesadilla Joe]

"What he is as a man, as a player, his intangibles, those all came true," said Elway. "Now we've just got to get him the experience and get him the work to continue to improve him as a quarterback.

Elway has also compared Tebow to Ben Roethlisburger and said he isn't the only person in the organization who has used that same comparison.

And on Champ.... Elway said that resigning Champ is his #1 priority.

[Quesadilla Joe]

This made me laugh out loud. Really?!?

That was never said by Elway.

You do know who created this thread, don't you?

[KCUnited]

"Next he's going to have to understand the playbook, at this time he is have a great deal of difficulty understanding what x means and what o means."

Elway went on to add, "at this point when Tim opens up the playbook he proceeds to give guys a certain number of kisses and hugs depending on how the play is drawn out."

[KurtCobain]

Elway has also compared Tebow to Ben Roethlisburger

What? ROFL

[Fish]

ROFL

Tebow is going to provide years of entertainment......

Simply hilarious...

[Rain Man]

Did he actually mention Roethlisberger by name? I thought all he said was, "No way would I let Tebow anywhere near my daughter". That's an indirect comparison at best.

[Rain Man]

The nice thing about having Elway in charge is that his blimp-sized ego will prevent him from ever getting a good quarterback. Elway was a ball hog and glory hog when he played, and he won't want to see another quarterback getting some of the adulation that he wants. Consciously or subconsciously, he's going to sabotage Tebow and any other quarterback who comes in so they won't dethrone him as prom king.

Elway put his God-like status on the line in Denver when he took the job. He will do everything in his power to succeed and has even said that he plans on working with the QB's personally during training camp.

[Quesadilla Joe]

I predict that Rain Man will end up hating Tebow just as much as he hates Elway. LMAO

Yep. Working personally with the quarterbacks. We all know what's going to happen there. Sabotage. He's going to throw his sabot into the quarterback machinery.

[Chiefaholic]

Along with the THOUSANDS of current and former Donkeys before him. If all Bronco fans were as dillusional as you, Elway could triple ticket and parking prices and never miss a packed house.

How about, "He was a first-round draft pick so he shouldn't be in a developmental phase from Day One"?

I've seen Matt Cassel make a play like that once or twice. That doesn't mean he's going to be/is any good

[Baby Lee]

How about, "He was a first-round draft pick so he shouldn't be in a developmental phase from Day One"?

Thinner than you're spindly spindly limbs.

1. Nobody but the Broncos had him first round.
2. Draft position is irrelevant to the nuts and bolts assessment of what kind of QB he'll be once acclimated.

So what does Cassel pwn Tebow in;

Want to?
Dedication?
Intelligence?
Decision making?
Natural ability?
Leadership?
Success?
Aura?

[RealSNR]

So what does Cassel pwn Tebow in;

Want to? Nope. But it's closer than you think
Dedication? SAA
Intelligence? Yes
Decision making? Yes
Natural ability? Fuck no
Leadership? Fuck no
Success? Irrelevant question until we give Tebow a few more years
Aura?if you mean "douchebag" then Tebow's got him there.

[Baby Lee]

.

In terms of success, actually go ahead apply it to all qualities, I was meaning at every level of competition.

[MagicHef]

Elway was on the sports radio station in Denver today, and said that re-signing Champ was their #1 FA priority. As far as Baby Lee's question, I think Cassel wins in decision making, and that's it.

I hope they do resign Chump Bailey, at his stage of his career he is going down hill. You may get another above mediocre year but he isn't going to be any thing special and I predict him getting powned more times than not. Chump Bailey is going to fail to deliver as a shut down corner so ya hope you resign him bitches.

WOW, what an epic 10 yard pass! You heard it here first people, put Tebow in the HOF NOW! That pass is all you need to see!

I can't believe I ever doubted the lord, savior, and creator of the universe, Tim Tebow. PRAISE TIM TEBOW!!!

Champ completely shut down Bowe and every other receiver he faced one on one. Bowe had a big game against us when we blew you out but that was because we were playing a soft zone for 45 minutes.

So you are in favor of giving this 33 year old CB a fat new contract?

While improved, I'm pretty sure Cassel makes some of the worst on-field decisions I've seen from a starting NFL quarterback.

[DaKCMan AP]

Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow, who was raised by Christian missionaries, kept himself busy with non-traditional tourist activities during his first visit to Las Vegas on Tuesday.

A teetotaler, his only shots involved a basketball court and a ping pong table.

In town to shoot individual photo shoots for Nike with fellow NFL stars, he played a game of pickup basketball with Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings, All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis of the New York Jets and Ndamukong Suh, the Detroit Lions star rookie defensive tackle.

They were spotted ballin' in the Palms’ Hardwood Suite, which features a basketball court for high rollers and VIP guests.

Tebow also reportedly played ping pong against a professional after a session of the World Championship of Ping Pong had ended in The Pearl, the Palms’ concert venue.

Tebow, who led Florida to two national championships in three years and was the first sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy, had dinner with Revis, Suh and Peterson at N9NE Steakhouse, a celebrity hotspot frequented over the years by the likes of Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf and Pete Rose.

Tebow, the first to arrive, took a table in the main dining room, rather than the private room favored by many celebrities.

He ordered Fiji water and went with a bone-in ribeye – not a T-bone. And, no, the water didn’t turn into wine for the NFL newcomer whose clean-cut, down-to-earth image made him one of the league’s most popular players overnight.

During dinner, Tebow, Revis and Suh went to the kitchen to sign Chef Barry Dakake’s Shake Down Door, which has been signed by hundreds of celebrity guests. They signed helmets, football, jerseys and N9NE Steakhouse dinner plates.

Suh, the dominating defensive lineman out of Nebraska and the No. 2 overall draft pick in 2010, was celebrating being named NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Tebow wore a gray sweater, with jeans and Nike tennis shoes. Revis was wearing black Chuck Taylor Converse hightops. Huh?

They are all staying at the Mandarin Oriental in CityCenter, Vegas Confidential has learned.

he compareed him to Rothlisberger? In what way? I'm guessing he means that once he gets his willy wet for the first time, he will become a raping machine.

I look at it like this... neither one of us is apparently smart enough to be anything more than a fan. So, we don't really know what is good or bad in this situation. By default - those that hate Denver and Elway will say it's a move doomed for failure. And, those on the other side will say it's either great or they'll hope for the best.

I have no idea, but all I can do is hope for the best. To suggest it's failure is just as silly as anything that KnowMo types...

I'm not sure what smart has to to with it, and I can assure you that my comments have nothing to do with hating Denver or anything along those lines, although I do admit that I'm not an Elway fan. However, it doesn't take a great deal of "smart" to know that repeatedly talking down your young, developing QB isn't usually the brightest way to approach things.

Is Elway going to piss in the guy's Cheerios next?
