Tebow is killing it

Yes but without Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil, The Golden Calf of Bristol wouldn't be able to play the style he does.

I think we get so wrapped up in individual statistics that we forget this football is the ultimate team game. Meaning you're absolutely right, but I personally don't see what it matters. The Golden Calf of Bristol plays his style because of Miller and Dumervil, and Miller and Dumervil are able to do what they do because of Denver being able to run the ball fifty times a game.

They depend on each other, yin and yang. Really, that's why football is so special as a sport. It truly is a TEAM sport. It's the only one where your success is ENTIRELY dependent on your teammates, and I don't know if another sport, specifically a major one, can say that.

So I think that's part of the issue here. We say The Golden Calf of Bristol couldn't do what he's doing without Miller and Dumervil...well, of course. But that shouldn't be a knock on anybody, IMO.

Those projected numbers are insane...

“Over 16 games,” said Lahman, “The Golden Calf of Bristol projects to 19 touchdowns, three interceptions, 2,061 yards passing and 1,112 yards rushing with five rushing touchdowns.”

For all you guys that like to add passing and rushing....24 TDs to 3 picks?

Hard to be picked off when you run it 90% of the time. What exactly would you find out comparing it to picks if you don't take into account attempts?

Hard to be picked off when 50% of your passes land in a spot on the field 30 yards away from anybody wearing pads.

the crazy part of that isn't just the 24 TDs, it's the 3 INTs. That's nuts... yes he barely throws the ball but still, you'd expect more interceptions than what he is throwing these last few games from most QBs.

I wouldn't take The Golden Calf of Bristol over Cam but the reality is that he can move the ball when it comes down to it, he's just doing it in a very non-traditional way.

it's amazing what happens in 4 of your 5 wins your defense can hold teams under 20 points.

Which, for what it's worth, Orton would've done if his defense did that.

And if our defense did that? We'd have lost only two games; ATL and TEN

    • I get what you are saying. I'm just saying we made it to the win, we should have a bit of class and not dogpile on the QB because his stat line wasn't great. His stat lines weren't great for almost his entire pro career, but this time, we got a win. Give him a breather.  The team cleared the bar. In the end, that's all that matters. Do it enough times and well, good things happen.  We've shat the bed enough times with good-ish QB play. It's not like we've been regularly to the playoffs even with our best performing QBs over the years. Heck, Matt Stafford was a helluva QB in Detroit for a long time with nothing to show for it. Steve Bartowski was a great QB back in the day, but in 20 years of watching I saw one playoff game for the Falcons. Heck, even Dan Marino spent most of his illustrious career on a lousy Dolphins team.  And yet, Tampa's first Superbowl ring was with the esteemed Trent Dilfer at the helm. Sometimes it goes like that. 
    • I don't care what they tell me. Its what they actually do that matters. Coaches and GM's say crap all the time to keep fan interest. They are always trying to sell you something. 
    • But you have to separate the 2 things in order to move forward.  Its okay to enjoy winning and its also okay to be critical of what is happening.  Coaches do it why cant we?   Also they have to be thinking next off season, next year all in real time.  They are applying what is working, where help is needed and how to get better and make plans for that.   I am weirdly confident that Dan and Dave are seeing what we are seeing and will adjust.   The wildcard however are the teppers
