Denver Broncos blog, news and rumors

Filed under Daily Links

Much was made about Tebow’s ability to complete passes in 2011, not much was made about the Broncos receivers’ ability to catch them.

Overheard once in a Denver press box in regards to Tebow’s unique throwing style and the ability to hang on to said ball, “Have you ever caught a knuckleball?” Touché anonymous man, touché.

Given that Thomas and Decker have both spent two seasons more or less catching Tebow’s passes–unique or not– they should have the apparent uncanny ability to do so. It did look as though Brandon Marshall had returned to the lineup at several points in the season during last minute Tebow drives however.

  A funny little anecdote from the weekend’s Pro Bowl. A heckling Ravens fan tried to get at Denver Broncos running back Willis McGahee by taking a shot at Tim Tebow. McGahee responded perfectly. “That’s not nice,” he told the fan. “That’s like saying if you had a better kicker, you’d have won.” Tim Tebow […]

Little about the game itself actually matters, but the fact that Brian Dawkins, who was sidelined for the last six games of the Broncos’ 2011 season (including both playoff games), was able to […]
