I have been saying it for years. Denver is the strongest team in the weakest division in the NFL.

Elway and fox ditched Tebow for Peyton Manning. Manning a quarterback that while good in his prime was on the downside of his career, who has health issues, the Colts were able to get Luck a young and healthy quarterback.

Now after three years, and many millions of dollars, there is no Superbowl win to show for it.

Denver is fools gold, they tear it up during the season and lose in the playoffs. I hate to say this as I am a fan of Denver, but they would have been better off keeping Tebow, and in the two years it would have taken to give Tebow time to adjust they could have also been looking for Tebow's replacement should he fail..

Neck injury?

Announced today... Torn Quadricep in his right leg.

I figured it was something like that... he's really been horrible since he had that leg injury, that they said was a "deep thigh bruise".

I think if he can get healthy, Peyton comes back, he did not want to go out like that.

‘I have been saying it for years. Denver is the strongest team in the weakest division in the NFL. “

The stats and standings will tell you a differnt story. The NFC South is by far the weakest division.

Last year in the Super Bowl he was scared to throw the ball on third down and short. I knew then that Manning didn’t have very long left as a quarterback. We all get old and yesterday he aged about 20 years.

This whole thing just got a much bigger wrinkle. John Fox and The Broncos have parted ways.

Could be Elway is blowing it all up. New QB, new coaching staff, rebuild time.

Yeah, completing passes is overrated. It’s the steely gaze that wins games.

I think Kubiak would be the right fit in Denver now that Fox is gone.

I will give you that. But the AFC west is and has been either at bottom or close to it for years. My point is the Denver has overall an easy schedule, then in the playoffs they face tougher defenses. That combined with Peyton Manning's age and health, and you have a formula to lose. Think about it this way. Manning is getting older and defenses will only get better.

And its does not please me to say that about Manning.
