WTF are the Broncos doing???

Why in the world would you take Tim Tebow over Jimmy Clausen. That makes no sence whatsoever. Someone needs to pull their head out of their a$$!

LOL Tebow

should be 3rd rder, cant play any other position other than QB and in pro offense will be weak at that. But he's a leader

............................ NO! they are stupid, but not THAT stupid. I think they gave up 3 later picks in this draft, but they added another pick when they traded their earlier #11 pick to SF. So, in reality, it only cost them 2 later round picks.

But still, wouldn't Jimmy Clausen have been a better choice coming from a pro-type offense???

Not when you have fans leaving by droves after losing Cutler and Marshall in two years.....so to replace those fans, you draft Tebow, who I have a feeling is going to be very popular in the denver/UTAH area.....that stadium is gonna be rocking with Mormons on Sundays......

a very shrewd BUSINESS move by the Broncos.....if our coach is gonna ostracize any talented player that we have on the team, we are gonna have to find untalented guys that are gonna bring people in the gates for other reasons.....

No idea why the Broncos did this, but hey let's give little holy Tim a chance he might make some noise.

There's an awful lot of "sure" about Tebow not being good in the NFL. His size pretty much made him an option QB, but for those that think he is not capable of being a pocket passer you will soon find out. The guy has more heart, spirit, and drive to win than 99% of players. Combine that with excellent talent and skills, and you have the makings of a great pro QB. He is more than capable of throwing past 25 yards.

88-15 TD to INT ratio. 88-15. That's 6-1. Show me the other guy in college who is close to that efficiency.

Bradford? 88-16. How about that? Bradford didn't run 4ypc and get 50+ rushing TDs, though. Want to argue Bradford played against tougher teams? LOL

Add to that that he is 6'3 and 240 lbs, and you have another weapon at the goal line if when he rolls out you don't cover him.

he is a great pick, he just is not what typically comes out of the mold that people want. He also played for 3+ years without a significant injury, including using himself as a battering ram RB. Ain't no other QB with that rugged outlook.

LOL that people think Bradford and the like are a sure thing. Claussen? he came from a terrible program. Period. Yup, we all know it, ND was terrible in his tenure. Doesn't make him a bad player, but he was not coached, and did not play in significant or serious games. He is completely untested is his issue, and has an ego to boot.
