2011-12 NFL Season

[Ramy]

ok, I am gonna say it since some might not. I LOVE what is going in Detroit, but it is WAY TOO EARLY for their fans to be calling any game an easy game. Look at Buffalo when they went to Cincinnati...am sure the ONLY folks that thought they would win that game were Bengal fans...and even they weren't even sure.

I wasn't sure, but I did pick them.

Hillis: I could’ve played against Miami; agent advised me not to - Shutdown Corner - NFL Blog - Yahoo! Sports

It's amazing how we're still talking about a sore throat from a player who sat out 2 weeks after it happened. (PS. the Browns still won that game without Hillis).

Oh, the drama surrounding teams during a bye week!! Ugh!!

LOL! But your excuse is that the Bengals are your team. There isn't a single weekend in my 30+ years I have never picked the Raiders...LOL!

Yes but the difference between Tebow and vick is tebow knows the technical aspect of the game. He does not just try to "out athlete" the other team but rather out smart them as well. He can read the defense, judge what they are going to do and be ready to adjust the play on the fly to try to make it work.. Some of his most successful (length) runs are not planned but rather only done after the play break downs. He is really good at forcing plays to happen after the defense stops the original plan. Which last game resulted in a TD with a short pass to Mareno.

Vick KNOWS the technical aspect of being a pocket passer...he just does not apply them. LOL! Vick has a bad case of happy feet because he just does not know how to read coverages. My goodness this almost sounds like you think Tebow is better than Vick....

When there is nothing to write about...they look for anything...

I have actually picked against them already this year and wouldn't you know it they won.

And THAT is why I never pick against my Raiders. In most cases, I say..."my heart says YES....my brain says NNOOOOOO....!! There is 3 games that I actually think that I will think that way when it comes to their schedule...they played one(the Pats) and there is 2 more to go(Detroit and Green Bay).

Ain't THAT the truth!!

For those that are 'hispanically impaired' ...the term means that 'your heart will let you down' or 'you sometimes cannot trust your heart' ...LOL!

I do think hes a better QB then Vick. Is Vick faster and stronger? Yes. But Tebow is smarter and as a QB brains do matter.

LOL... I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Hopefully, when he plays, his red cape won't slow down his scrambling while he is running for his life with that offensive line....

Well at least now he gets to prove himself on the field. We can find out just how "good" the experts are at deciding who can be a good QB.. I mean they have been so spot on recently I mean Jamarcus was a beast right?

Funny you mentioned that...the Raiders were just as bad as the Broncos are now....but the Broncos do not have an owner that had lost his sense of making the right decision when it came to his football team.

The truth of that matter is, the current management does not think highly of Tebow, including one of the greatest QBs to ever play the game...you know, John Elway. So now they have no choice to play him because Orton is playing terrible this year. But Orton, to his credit, is a proven reliable QB. Tebow, in his 3 starts..is 1-2 in a mediocre AFC West. He has ALOT to prove...more so to the team than the NFL. Because if he has a so-so season the rest of the way, don't think for one minute that Elway will look for a QB next year in the draft or FA.

Tebow is 1-2 in his first ever starts agreed.. Orton is 6 and 24 in his career at denver.... Tebow still has a higher win % So how is Orton Proven and reliable?

and for the record Tebows 2 losses were against the two best teams in the divsion if im not mistaken. His first game against Oakland and his third against Sandiego.. He scored 28 against San Diego and 23 Against Oakland.. The defense of course allowed Oakland to score 39 and the chargers 33.

Try 21-12 in Chicago...AND in Denver, he posted some of best numbers statistically, meaning he did HIS part.

So, with TeBow's "freelance" style of ball, what are the chances he stays healthy more than 3-5 weeks?

I'd say better than vicks. bigger and stronger should equal to better durability

 

[cosmo_kramer]

Both Orton and Quinn are in the last year of their contracts. Might as well see what they have in Tebow since he will be the only current QB they will have under contract next year....
