She butchered the anthem and she is ugly. Just because some one prances around in a bra and panty, does not take away from the fact they have no talent and cant sing the anthem. The Anthem of any country needs to be done in a more professional manner, and respect.

As was to be expected, the entire city of Denver has turned on Orton. I'm surprised his house hasn't been burned down by now. The Teebus collective is making their voice heard.

If Tebow starts in Denver then they will have another top 5 pick. He is no where near an NFL calibre QB.

doesn't matter who starts in Denver, they will have another top ten pick.. Besides the fans want him, they pay for tickets and buy merch. If they don't show up Elway will be out of a job along with that GREAT coach they hired. Besides look up Elways stats during his first 3 years. (terrible)

I don't know (honestly) what Tim's stats were during his starts last year.

Honestly I think they need to give Tebow the chance to start.

They guy may not have the best technique, and may not be a traditional QB, but one thing he does have is a winning mentality and a huge will to win and sometimes that in itself can make you successful.

Who would have thought that Cam Newton would pass for 400 yards in his first NFL start but when you have that mentality that you will win every time you take the field you tend to just find a way to be successful.

One thing that the Broncos need to consider with starting Tebow is the effect that it will have on the locker room. There are players in that locker room that want the chance to win every week, and the coaches and management seem to believe that Orton offers the best chance to win. Starting Tebow might be what the fans want, but the other players on the team might be disappointed with it.

That is a horrible way to set your roster.

As a coach once said, " If you pay attention to the grandstands...it won't be long before you join them"

Granted that was from basketball, but I think the quote is applicable in any team sport.

Yeah, from what I heard in pre season, the players were going to be on the verge of mutiny if Kyle Orton didn't get the starting job in Denver. How much of that game was on Orton, and how much of it based on the line not being able to run block though? I think they'll give Orton at lease the first quarter of the season though. Sounded like Teebow needed more time to get familiar with the offence.

Cam Newton's fundamentals >>>>> Tim Tebow's fundamentals

Tim Tebow has 3 starts under his belt with mediocre stats.

Not only that. Newton stood in the pocket and let things develop. Tebow breaks the pocket at the slightest hint of danger and that makes it harder for his oline. He isn't playing college any more.

Exactly Cam Newton has grown light years in a few months compared to what Tebow has done in greater than a year. Most of the time when Cam was dropping back on Sunday it looked natural, when Tebow is dropping back it still looks like he is counting his steps. Tebow may still get it, but he doesn't look like an NFL QB today.

Reacting to quarterback Tom Brady throwing for 517 yards and four touchdowns in a 38-24 win over Miami, Ochocinco tweeted: "Just waking up after a late arrival, I've never seen a machine operate like that n person, to see video game numbers put up n person was WOW."
Quote:
ESPN analyst Tedy Bruschi, appearing on sports radio WEEI, said Ochocinco better "drop the awe factor" and "stop tweeting and get in your playbook."
Quote:
"You're not someone who's on another team or watching TV," Bruschi said. "You're not an analyst. You're a part of it. They want you to be a part of it. So get with the program because obviously you're not getting it and you're tweeting because you're saying, 'It's amazing to see'? It's amazing to see because you don't understand it. You still don't understand it and it's amazing to you because you can't get it. Wake up! If you're just waking up now -- I don't know when this was, six minutes ago? -- get out your bed and get to the stadium and watch some film if you still think it's amazing. If you're in it and you know what you're doing and you execute out there, you don't think it's amazing. You know why? Because it's what you're supposed to do."

I think Bruschi overreacted. Ochocinco could have complained about not getting targets or a myriad of other things. I think he is just happy to be on a good team. Also, makes me take him less serious as an analyst because he acts as if he is still on the Patriots.

A group of Broncos fans told the Denver Post and USA Today that they plan to purchase billboards in Denver, calling for the team to bench quarterback Kyle Orton and play Tebow instead.

You just paid Tebow something like a 6 mil roster bonus. Play him and find out if he's any good, this is obviously a lost season already so who cares? Fox isn't getting fired that quick.

Best case Ontario Tebow is awesome and the Broncos are set at QB moving forward. Worst case he's a total bust and they get a top 5 pick to get either Luck, Landry Jones or Barkley.

Do you honestly think that people are going to stop going to Bronco's games because Tebow doesn't start? Give your head a shake.
