Trent Dilfer ranks Broncos' Tim Tebow among NFL's passers: 80th out of 80

Former NFL quarterback Trent Dilfer spoke at the Hood Hargett Breakfast Club in Charlotte Friday, and he was complimentary of Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, who he said would "change the game" in the NFL with his skills and work ethic.

He was not as kind in discussing Denver quarterback The Golden Calf of Bristol, who has the Broncos in the divisional round of the AFC playoffs against the New England Patriots Saturday night despite a passing form that is the league’s worst. Dilfer said if there are 80 quarterbacks in the NFL, the 79th is “exponentially better” than The Golden Calf of Bristol as a passer.

Dilfer, who said he has tremendous respect for The Golden Calf of Bristol, said the Broncos’ read-option package has allowed Denver to overcome The Golden Calf of Bristol’s flaws. With defenses first watching for a handoff to the running back or a The Golden Calf of Bristol keep, Dilfer said the Broncos’ receivers are often wide open when The Golden Calf of Bristol pulls back for a play-action pass.

I always liked Dilfer. He's got some swag in him now when he picked Cam to be what he is after every "expert" was picking Gabbert.

That's because Trent wasn't towing the talking points of ESPN and NFLN. He has a mind of his own.

If Denver wins the season/playoffs are rigged.
