Unfortunately, you dont have to go through high school, college, the combine and the draft to enter in synthetic Grade 1 races.

Would the broncos top 2 recievers be anything more than 4th or 5th WR's on 90% of NFL teams?
I have been saying it since the start of the thread. They have no skill position players. Thomas is OK and young and fast. He also drops balls that Tebow puts right on his hands. He would be an up and coming 3 on most teams. Hes the 1 in Denver. Huge test this weekend for Denver I think we learn a lot more about them. Pats are my team and I have them as the #3 best team in the NFL behind Green Bay and Baltimore right now. Lets see if Denver is even competitive. It wont be a shock if they are.

I dont think the Broncos will beat the Patriots on sunday. the Pats are a top 3 team in football IMO. but what will be idiotic, is if the pats win, everyone who doesnt root for Tebow will be "hey look and see.. Tebow sucks" and he'll still be 7-2 for a team he took over at 1-4 and everyone predicted they put tebow in so they can get the first pick in the draft.
too true.

the should be competitive because of their Defense. and the Pats D is a lot closer to Minny than to Chi-town. but, its still Tom Brady and the Pats are overall better than the Broncos.

Is this the same team that just gave up 24 and 27 points to the Colts and Redskins? You honestly think they're better than Pittsburgh, Houston, New Orleans and San Francisco?

Simple question since you totally avoided my post where I broke down the teams Timmy (by himself apparently) has beaten....Are the Chicago Bears a better team with Cutler and Forte or without them?

I mean this whole thing is ridiculous. No sh.it the NFL has the best players in the world. What does that have to do with anything? Some are better than others. Some teams are better than others. Is a win against the Packers the same as beating the Colts right now? Of course not. But by your logic, it is because of how good NFL players are.

I love the rooting against him nonsense too. Who's rooting against him here? I hope they win out because I am frothing at the mouth to bet against them first round in the playoffs. Not because I dislike Timmy, but because I think they are a team whose record looks a lot better than it should because of who they have played and the circumstances in those games.

It's no different than betting against a horse that you think has dressed up form. You don't dislike the horse, connections, etc. You have looked at the race and concluded (right or wrong) that the horse looks better than it really is.

Its really no different then how lucky the Bears got last year playing a bunch of 3rd string QB's in a row.

Yesterday was ridiculous and according to Tebow's pastor, it was because of God (See TMZ for story).

More importantly....Hulk Hogan's wife is alleging Hulk and Brutus the Barber Beefcake had a sexual relationship? I'm so out of the loop.

Yes I do. Like I said earlier though, Im a hardcore Pats fan but I dont think we are beating the Ravens this year. The D sucks and we dont have a vertical threat. If we did get by Baltimore I really dont think we can beat GB. The Texans will be 1 and done in the playoffs. Even if your Jets play them, I dont like there chances. Pittsburg is banged up, and they barley beat us in Pittsburg, the gap is close. New Orleans is good, but they wont beat Green Bay anyway. Same goes for San Fran.

I agree with this. They are the KC of this year, when they get into the playoffs against a good team, they will be exposed on both sides of the ball.

You're severely underestimating how good the Texans are.

I know how good they are. If they do it with a rookie QB Ill have all the respect in the world for them. Baltimore already slammed them in Houston. Whats going to change this time?

With Yates?

If they had Schaub they were my Super Bowl choice but Yates will get exposed, IMO.

Thats exactly what Im trying to say. I mean they would not be my Super Bowl choice, but I would think they were legit. I would still at the very least have them behind Baltimore in the AFC.

Serious question. Lets assume Baltimore and New England get the first round week off. Pittsburg in Denver and your Jets at Houston. Are you saying Houston will beat the Jets?

pats aren't as good as the saints or frisco. or maybe houston-altho the qb question is a big one.
the pats d is horrible, witness yesterdays game with the skins. wash's avg score per game was 17. they almost doubled that.

THe team I really fear is the Giants. I think GB can beat NO again and anyone else who blitzes them, but NY can get there with 4 and I think Rodgers is more dangerous against the blitz than a straight four man rush.

Not worried about: Dallas, Atl, SF (Overated I think), Detroit, Chicago
Concerned about: NO
Worried about : NYG
