I wanted Suh. You were a Bradford guy, no?

I'd rather have Luck than Bradford, but I'd be alright with keeping Sam and drafting Blackmon, which seems like the most probable scenario.

Then I guess neither of us has changed his mind.

How about Bill Cowher?

Thought yesterday's Tebow was a good indicator of what you can Tebow from Tebow. The dude is a tough football player, a very very solid runner, a fair thrower and not a great decision maker. He's going to create problems for DBs and linebackers who will not be able to fully commit one way or another as quickly as they would otherwise, at least until he gets Tebowed a few more times by some of the Tebows in the league.

I'm not sold on his decision-making abilities one way or another--i feel like he's made some poor decisions and some great decisions-- but it's also only his second year in the league.

Good post, though.

I pretty much agree, but I think he's a poor thrower, not fair. I will admit Tebow has been more effective than I thought he would be. Long-term I don't think the bronco's offense can be successful because his arm is so bad. I also don't think Tebow's play style will allow him to stay healthy.

FWIW, right now the bronco's offense is pretty fun to watch because it's completely different than anything else in the NFL.

I hear this a lot, but couldn't you say the same thing for any NFL running back?

The decision-making isn't really an issue yet, in my opinion. The off-season lockout hurt him quite a bit, and he's started fewer than a year's-worth of NFL games. I think everyone agreed right up front that it would take him some time. So let's give him some time.

The accuracy is the biggest issue, by far. Maybe he can improve on that, maybe he can't. Better receivers would help, too. I read last week that the Broncos were among the leaders in the league in dropped-passes.
