ESPN is doing its best to propagate the story of third string QB turned “Savior” (Image: ESPN)
SI.com’s Don Banks included Josh McDaniels on the list of players, coaches and team executives who have clearly underwhelmed NFL analysts and fans thus far in 2011. After being fired in Denver, McDaniels was supposed to repair his badly damaged reputation by tutoring quarterback Sam Bradford and pushing the St. Louis Rams offense to new heights. However, the Rams are 0-6 and as Banks writes, “Bradford has clearly regressed.” The NFL will undoubtedly be a better place when McDaniels returns to selling plastics in Cleveland.
Count former Denver Broncos wide receiver among the seemingly endless list of Tim Tebow skeptics. Per ProFootballTalk.com, asked on ESPN 101 in St. Louis whether Tebow can be a good NFL quarterback, Lloyd said he is not so sure.
“I don’t know,” Lloyd said, via SportsRadioInterviews.com. “I think only time will tell with that style of play. I think it [was] effective last Sunday [vs. Miami], but I just don’t know how effective that style can be over the course of a long [season] and playing formidable opponents.”
Asked about Tebow’s mechanics, Lloyd noted that the long windup in Tebow’s throwing motion can mean the ball doesn’t get to the receiver when he’s open.
“Any delay in delivering the ball… throws a monkey wrench into all the tim[ing] and anything you are trying to accomplish down the field,” Lloyd said.
Kissing Suzy Kolber’s Christmas Ape believes that John Fox certainly isn’t a Tebow fan. But as Fox has learned, despite a historically horrendous passing performance through 55 minutes last Sunday against the Dolphins, Tebow’s last minute heroics good fortune has elevated the media and fan coverage of Tebow from nauseating to vomiting + diarrhea.
This week the Broncos (2-4) host the upstart Detroit Lions (5-2). Just as exciting for Broncos fans will be the matchup of Matt Barkley vs. Andrew Luck in Los Angeles on Saturday. Perhaps one of the top 2 quarterback prospects will be Denver’s first round pick in April.
Thanks for checking in guys… I know the posts haven’t been as frequent as of late, but doing my best to keep up the coverage of the disaster McDaniels left behind. I’m confident Elway knows that Tebow is not ever going to be a good NFL QB.
Shit man… we are already a bigger joke than the Bungles! McDouchebag did more damage than Katrina and Mr. Bowlen doesn’t have the cognitive capacity to own an NFL team anymore. Bowlen needs to sell the team to Elway… somebody who has the brains and balls to clean up this mess. It is sad to think about what this team could have been if Cutler, Marshall, Scheffler, Hillis, etc. were still in town.
Keep up the good work Rico! We’re still with ya!
Obviously the fan lobbying has effect on this new regime. Sad to say, but they look to us, rather than us to them, for the answers. Nevertheless, that being the case, we should lobby them to trade or cut every single player that was brought in either by way of the draft or trade during the McDickFuck years. That would be a good first step is just to erase the shit from the past and start with a clear slate.
Then you go get yourself a franchise QB in the draft. You trade up if you have to – whatever the fuck you gotta do to get that franchise QB. That’s gotta be step #2. If you can trade away some of McDickFuck’s busts to get there, all the better.
It takes 3 years to develop that franchise QB, so for 3 years, you look for improvement. You start by building the defense to support that franchise QB’s efforts. When McDickFuck took over- that was supposed to be his monumental task- fixing the motherfucking defense. He never even bothered- choosing instead to blow up and destroy our once powerful offense. Fucking moron piece of shit. Fucking dick fuck McDickFuck.
That’s it, we all have to accept that Pat Bowlen tore down the old mile high stadium and that after that- we lost our home field advantage. Then along came McDickFuck and he tore down our zone blocking scheme, traded away the franchise QB, WR, and RB and chased out of town our best coordinators and coaches: Mike Nolan, Jeremy Bates, Rick Dennison, and Bobby Turner.
We need a clean slate. Get rid of the guys he brought in. Draft a franchise QB, address the fucking god motherfucking defense. We also need a better coach. We need a guy like Jon Gruden to develop that franchise QB and we gotta get rid of Brian Xanders. He and McDickFuck destroyed this franchise. Get Gruden somebody that can build a roster.
Lastly, we need to tear down this piece of shit stadium and rebuild the old mile high. THAT WOULD GIVE US HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE. Pat Bowlen should foot that bill all by himself since he made us foot this bill for this piece of shit, worthless, McDickFuck stadium.
There you go:
1. Get rid of all the players and front office personnel from the McDickFuck years.
2. Get a Franchise QB.
3. Get a coach that can develop him.
4. Get a GM that can build a roster for the coach.
5. Rebuild the defense.
6. Rebuild Mile High Stadium.
There’s your blue print. To the degree we follow that – to the degree we become a dominant team again. Failing in any of the above steps, we become the fucking Cincinnati Bengals of the AFC West.
It’s going to be a long damn season… yesterday’s game was painful to watch but at least Denver is gonna have a good shot at a real quarterback next year.
