Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

I heard him say the same thing last night about Cam Newton. He said Newton will always have flaws in the accuracy department. He picked out two completions to highlight and pointed out they would have been touchdowns with a "true nfl quarterback".
It's funny 20 years ago Tebow would have been the most celebrated player to ever come to the pros but all of these Mel Kiper types and all of this player analyst have brought way to much attention to throwing mechanics and footwork instead of how the guy wins games.

However, he does love him some Ryan Mallet...
Which is ironic, because if there is a QB that wouldn't be able to fix his issues it would be Mallet.

Probably because Mallett was exceptional in his preseason debut. In case you missed it, he went 12/19 for 164 yards and a TD. He had poise in the pocket, his receiver progressions were veteran-esque, and he didnt make a single mistake.
Way to early in his career for Hoge to be saying Tim can never fix things. Just trying to get more web hits .
"(Touchdowns) are the goal," Orton said. "You can run for as many yards as you want, throw for as many yards as you want, but you have to convert to seven points. I think we're going to be explosive, be dynamic, be versatile."
"Perception is everything in this league, and a lot of times, unless you're a self-promoter, it can become negative," - Kyle Orton

Sorry, but you are wrong.
Absolutely nothing has changed in the past 20 years as far as what a team looks for in a quarterback. No team wants a quarterback whos skill set is to check his first read, determine if they can make that pass, and if not, tuck it and run. Not one.
Tim Tebow would have been the same thing 20 years ago as he is today; a tight end playing the wrong position. Except I'm guessing 20 years ago, the Parcels and Ditkas of the world would have told him drop the quarterback fantasy and learn to block. You're my new starting TE.

+1
I like Tim, but it seems evident to me that he doesn't have what it takes to be an elite QB. I'm not some crazed Orton lover either, but what team wants a 3-4 year "project" QB... The elite QBs in the league are peaking by their 4th years.. not just getting started....
I'm honestly not 100% sure why I am chiming in here, except something in the article caught my eye.
I have been a talented individual my whole life, and until hitting about 40 could do *anything* I wanted. Anything. Now I have trouble learning new stuff, I admit it, no prob...
Timmy is 24? Don't ever tell a talented 24 year old they can't/won't be able to change or grow. That's just ridiculous. It's too late *maybe* around 40, like it was for me; but this dude is going against physiology and/or psychology when he says Tebow will never be able to change. It's not natural.
That's nowhere near a valid argument against a kid who deserves a lot more of a look...just like everybody else at his level.
People given microphones and an audience will say some real dumb stuff.
