Manning goes to Denver. Broncos--12 years of bad decisions.

[Democrats_win]

Don't get me wrong, Peyton Manning is just fine, but why do this to Tebow? Didn't he turn our team around? Wasn't watching football fun again? Besides, Peyton won't be able to defeat Tom Brady either. Maybe Tebow would have led the Broncos to victory over Brady next year. Peyton won't.

The 12 bad years began when the Broncos invited George W. Bush to their 2000 training camp. Instead of searching for wide receivers, Broncos coach Mike Shenanigan rubbed shoulders with and got Bush's bad karma. During the 2000 season, our lack of receivers led to an interception and as our MVP running back Terrell Davis tackled the opponent, he sufferred a career ending injury!

We messed up on QBs like you wouldn't believe. Brian Griese basically burned out and was replaced by Jake Plummer. He only got us to the AFC championship but that wasn't good enough. Jake was replaced by Jay Cutler. Then our new idiot coach, Josh McDaniels, tried to get his old QB to come to Denver. Cutler was not pleased and he demanded a trade. We got Kyle Orton for Cutler.

Josh McDaniels basically gutted the team but that was ok because we were just an eight and eight team. Then he drafted Tebow, the only good decision the Broncos made in 12 years.

McDaniels was out and after starting 1 and 4, Orton was benched in favor of Tebow. Tebow would win his first 7 games and he was exciting. He even won his first playoff game! Tebow is a young QB, eh's only going to get better.

Now this. Tebow is out and Peyton Manning will replace him. We aren't exactly sure if Peyton can still play. Will he be rusty? Tebow's style assisted our defense. Peyton's style will expose it as one of the worst in the NFL.

The good new is that I won't have to watch them next year because they will be terrible.

1. Tebow the only good decision?

Defense and running game turned that team around. Tebow couldn't have won of those games if the D was allowing 25+ points.

Manning can't beat Brady but Tebow can?

2. Think of Tebow as the new Marino

Marino left for Elway, Tebow leaves for Manning. History repeats itself.
Now, how to get that Bush JUJU off!

3. Manning won't be rusty. You can bet the farm that he's been working out

relentlessly to keep himself in shape, in addition to his post-surgery rehab. He comes from a football-minded family with a high sense of work ethics. He's known for studying his opponents on film for hours before playing them. And the bonus is, his admirable traits rub off on his team mates. There's a good reason that he's so highly regarded & popular.

4. you think Tebow gives a team a better chance to beat Brady and the Pats than Manning?

Sorry, but as fun as it was seeing the team win some games this year, it was defense and the running game that made it work. (I think one could argue that starting Tebow helped the running game succeed, since defenses had to worry about him running as well. But I think the improvement of the offensive line and the re-emergence of McGahee had more to do with it.)
