Phatcat Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 [quote name='GoBengals' timestamp='1282245738' post='907928'] living here is painful on the sports front...i see 5-10 Tebow jerseys a DAY here.. no exhaggeration, no lie.... if you ran a poll on the street right now who was better, tebow or elway.. tebow gets 40% of the votes no doubt.. people here are fucking nuts.. [/quote] I keep forgetting you are in Colorado now.... I can only imagine on the sports front right now the Tebow overload there. I certainly have no dislike for Tebow. personally. But its almost scary the reverence this guy gets from the media and fans. So are the fans there any different than they are here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have one request, time to get an Andre Smith Jersey. We need a little karma at the RT position. You've done great so far in your jersey selection before the players even produced.......

[/quote] As unbearable as the first six games were, it was a thing of beauty watching their season go down the crapper in the second half. People were pissed. I enjoyed every minute of it!

[/quote] Bronco fans are HARD CORE!! Maybe not the smartest, but you have to give them credit for their enthusiasm. I lived there before the Rockies existed and when the Nuggets sucked. The sportspages had Bronco headlines all year 'round. Elway was a god, and that was before he had ever won a Super Bowl. Did get to see a game in old Mile High Stadium, and even went to see the Rockies play there before Coors Field was built. I actually loved living there, but there was one huge drawback. I became a Nuggets fan and spent the 90's rooting for the two worst teams in professional sports (Bengals and Nugs). The only thing that kept me out of therapy was the fact that the Vols were kicking ass in football back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The collapse of '08 was even more epic than what happened last year. They were up over the Chargers by three games with only three games left in the season I believe.

Hooky Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 [quote name='Jeb' timestamp='1282227751' post='907813'] I said it before, ...I'll say it again. This guy won't last long in the NFL if he makes a habit of tucking and running it. Pocket passers last the longest in this league and running QB's that know what the "QB slide" is. [/quote] And that's all he's good for. ESPN was slobbering all over his mediocre performance on Sunday. The next day, they kept showing that bomb to Willis that Willis didn't catch. They were more or less chalking it up as a completion, calling it a perfect pass. It hit his hands, but I don't even know if it was a good throw. A good throw probably would've been a TD. That ball was on the wrong shoulder. I think that would've been a great catch if he pulled that in. He's a college QB, plain and simple. He can't pass and he's too slow and not as big to run the wildcat in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] If under game pressure, he resorts back to his old throwing motion (after all that work) then its likely he won't become a pocket passer either. Also, I read an article that had a WR from Florida relieved to have his new QB. He said the new guy was more accurate, ...the coach gave him hell for that comment.

[/quote] He already has. Go back and watch the game. His delivery is way to slow. He drops the ball all the way down to his hip when throwing the deep pass. Anyone able to post a clip here?

-GoBengals- Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 yea that wasnt a good pass... he had to slow down hal turn around and still couldnt get a good grasp on it... as someone said.. a GOOD pass would have been 6.. the DB was beat..

Le Tigre Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 [quote name='fredtoast' timestamp='1282243585' post='907907'] Anyone remember Bobby Douglass? he lasted about 2 years playing QB like that. [/quote] Bobby!! [img]http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/kan/sports/genrel/auto_action/1830719.jpeg[/img] Well he played 10 years actually. Almost 3K career rushing yards at a 6.5 ypc clip! Different game back then though. Defensive players weren't as big/strong/fast as they are today for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
