Jay Cutler disappoints Again - Darn it Jay, What the Heck?

I watched the game yesterday between the Packers and the Bears, and I am really bummed man.

Jay Cutler's Knee Injury ........................... etc, yada yada

At the end of the first half I was still rooting for the Bears and I was thinking that Cutler and his team got this far, and maybe they could actually wind this up with a win somehow.

For awhile it looked kinda like maybe, but then he hurt his KNEE?

I just wanted the Broncos to watch Cutler win, and kick the dirt clods around for awhile.  I never liked trading him away but my fantasy was not to become reality.

What the heck Cutler?  You coulda showed them guys how bad wrong they were but you hurt your knee.

When you make that much money, there is no real power behind it.  McDaniels and Cutler should open a restaurant or something.

Broncos organization is losing fan respect slowly over time

This can change of course, with the first winning season.  However, for that to happen after a crash like the Broncos have had is unlikely for quite some time.  It may take 4 years to regain the lost good will of fans.  Fans are important to any team in any city. Too bad they didn't pay any attention to us fans when they hired that other guy 2 years ago.  We saw what was happening right away, but apparently the Broncos management never read our atricles and blogs. 

Water under the bridge I suppose.

Anyway, I wish the Broncos all the best, and I will be watching as I always do. I am not very optimistic at this point, but as usual I could be wrong.  I think it will be several years before the team arises from the ashes.

John Fox is the new Bronco Head Coach - My commentary

Recently fired from the Carolina Panthers after a 2 and 14 season there, John Fox comes in to take the head coaching job.  Other top contenders were not interested and didn't even come for interviews, but John Fox did, and when he got here he sold himself to John Elway and Pat Bowlen too.

He arrived at DIA with a kinda Bronco style suit, orange tie and blue shirt.  I knew right when the reporters met him there that he wanted the job since he tried to get the colors right.  With all that prefacing, I know Fox is a good coach.  He did succeed in turning the Panthers into a winning franchise until this past season.

Elway and Bowlen had very positive comments about him, and I am not one to doubt his abilities.  I am wondering of course, if he will make Tim Tebow the franchise QB or try to convince Elway on bigger fish for that job.  That remains to be seen and we will find out in the next few weeks and months.

Elway said, "He has great football wisdom, and I think that's from a combination of being in a lot of different places, and having worked for a lot of great coaches and most of all experience."

He had a very bad time this past season of course, and got fired. I wonder if the Denver Broncos have lost some of their high regard in the League after the 2 years with McDaniels?

Bowlen said. "I think he can come in here and turn this organization around. I don't have any doubt about that and I'm going to give him all the help that he needs."

All I can add it that he really needs to publically state that Tebow is his guy for QB, or all the Bronco's plans to reconnect with the fans will be lost in space.

Just my opinion of course.

Champ Bailey Set to Become Unrestricted Free Agent

Champ Bailey is a cornerstone of this team. He is well respected and admired by fans, and most of us hope he can stay with the Broncos. Unfortunately, last summer the talks on his contract were suspended and he is set to become an unrestricted free agent.  

 He wants to stay, and when he says that I believe he means it, but he is not going to take a step down in pay to have that happen. I do not know the figures, or if money is the problem, but I suspect that if he could have his current deal extended he would stay for another season.

Elway praised him, but kinda put off any solid commitment until after the new head coach is hired. That means it could be awhile until we learn of Champ's possible directions. Rumors are one thing, but it is the reality that counts, so whatever rumors are circulating, I don't care.  I just want them to keep him. He is worth the deal he currently has.

In This Post Article, John Elway said, “I like Champ Bailey. He is a guy that I know if I was under center and I looked out there and saw 24 out there, I would want to go the other way like everybody has. So, he has been a great player for the Broncos,” Elway said. “Obviously that is something that we are going to have to sit down with Brian and the new head coach, find out where we are and make that decision.”

Elway Officially Named at Executive VP of Football Operations

The announcement we have all been waiting for has arrived.  When you combine this with a new franchise QB in Tim Tebow, all that remains in the new foundation is the HEAD COACH position. Once the new HC is named, real good things can happen. No more trading great players due to their disposition. No more stupid moves during the draft. These guys will be focusing on DEFENSE this time, while they groom, train and mold the OFFENSE. Good things are ahead for Bronco Fans.

The Broncos have named John Elway as the team's Executive Vice President of Football Operations and appointed Joe Ellis to Team President.

The Hall-of-Fame Broncos quarterback will oversee the head coach and GM Brian Xanders. Elway will also lead the team's head coaching search.

The team will announce the hiring at a 1:30 p.m. MST press conference. DenverBroncos.com will live stream the media session.

Denver's last season game is lost, but hope lives on for Tebow

Tim Tebow has played his 3rd straight game as starter tonight, and even though the team lost, it is easy to see the future of our team being led by the fired up QB.  He creates excitement and gives the other team members the desire to win. He leads by example. He plays hard and intends to win. He will win many times in the future, and the team will benefit from having him on board.

We have been without a franchise QB for 2 seasons now, and that ends this night.  From now on we have our QB and the future is very bright.  Brandon Lloyd also adds his own bit of fire to the deal, creating excitement and making plays to show he will be the favorite target of Tebow for many games to come.

I have never seen a QB scramble like Tebow, and that includes Elway back when he started.  In fact, I have watched a lot of teams play and until today I did not know the meaning of the word scramble.  Tebow is totally determined to make the play, even when option one and two are impossible.  He creates a 3rd option to make the play work.

My prediction is that Tebow will take the Broncos and their talented new team to great places next year and beyond.  Our next meeting with the Chargers next season will be one to watch.  The Denver team will show up to win, and they will win.  This is a winning team and we will all see that next season. Even if we don't win the SB, the next season will be the most memorable in several years.

Prediction - Next year we will see Kyle Orton come to Denver and play a game against the Broncos matched up against Tebow.  It will be fun.  I wonder which team he will play for?  We shall see!
