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.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
