Would You Trade Down and Pick Up Tebow? Pair him with McDaniels ?

If any of you saw the The Golden Calf of Bristol documentary for 'Year of the QB' the other night, they actually had us listed on the agent's board as one of the teams that were interested in him on draft day. Me and Dpantherman briefly discussed it while it was on and I think most of us knew that the team was interested but we had no 1st rounder (thanks Everette Brown).

Anyway, I don't know how many of you saw Peter King's tweet/reports today that John Elway doesn't think The Golden Calf of Bristol is a "very good NFL QB" and depending where McDaniels ended up that team may trade for The Golden Calf of Bristol.

Two questions:

1) One which I've been contemplating for awhile... Would you bring in McDaniels as an offensive coordinator/QBs coach? I think he would be awesome for us in that role, just as he was in NE. I think it may have been too early for him as a HC in regards to the personality management aspect (Brandon Marshall, Jay Cutler, etc.)

2) Regardless of what happens with McDaniels, would you trade back in the draft for The Golden Calf of Bristol with the Broncos? I know they're only one position behind us, but I could see how they would be interested in a guy like Bowers at #1 and possibly Gabbert if they're stretching, who knows? But, if we could trade them the #1 pick or dangle it out there that we'd be trading with a team behind them and that team may look to take the player they have targeted as I think our #1 pick isn't as valuable as others have in past.

I think if we could trade back that spot and get The Golden Calf of Bristol and pick up their 2nd, it would put us in a better position at the QB position because I think The Golden Calf of Bristol will be a good NFL QB and a winner, and it would still allow us to pretty much take who we want in the 1st and get a 2nd in the process.

I know The Golden Calf of Bristol is pretty polarizing guy, although I think that's a bias based off of personal beliefs, but purely football-wise, what do you think?

EDIT: Don't feel like checking for errors, but may be some because I'm watching TV as I was typing, lol.

I would. At some point this offseason, we're going to have to take a risk on bringing in a QB.

Whether that's reaching for a rookie, or making a crazy deal, we're going to have to target a guy, and take a chance on him. We've got no choice.

The Golden Calf of Bristol showed promise last year, I'd take him.

Though it's crazy to think Denver would trade him to move up one spot for nobody..

Just no. So if Elway thinks The Golden Calf of Bristol sucks, why should we pick him up?

Just because Elway was a HOF QB himself in his playing days, doesn't mean he's a great evaluator of talent either. I bet Elway thought his son was better than The Golden Calf of Bristol... Look how that worked out.

I honestly hated Elways overbite ass until like the last 2 years of his career. I was a baby when he came out, but from how he handled himself, it's clear he's been a prima donna from day one, so I don't really care what he thinks.

If you saw those last two games he started/played, I saw an NFL QB, and a pretty good one. At worst he'd be a throw in player who'd be an automatic upgrade over Jimmy.

IF we picked up McDaniels as OC, I wouldn't object to that trade for The Golden Calf of Bristol. McDaniels had him playing pretty good at the end of the year, so I think he could turn him in to at least a good NFL quarterback. We would have our QB of the future, plus we could draft just about anyone with the 2nd pick.

Remember, Matt Moore had a GREAT record at the end of two seasons' garbage time. Doesn't mean he'll be a good franchise QB

Good point, but I still think Matt Moore can be a productive NFL QB with better coaching/surrounding circumstances.

That being said, I also think The Golden Calf of Bristol has better tools naturally. His delivery improved as well, and I expect him to get better.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
