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.

      Hoping you guys keep it up

      It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️

      Cam on ‘The Bank’

      It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
