They were so afraid of opening the playbook they handcuffed the pathetic Bronco offense even more. God, the o-line play is poor. I guess they thought if they let him drop back more he'd get killed - or picked - or both - and did not want him to lose his confidence. Good Lord, they are out of it now, so why not just give him some reps and see how it goes. Raiders loaded the box and laughed as the Broncos OC kept calling runs into a wall.
Should have play faked and let Tim at least try to hit somebody...

I'd prefer to keep my (possible) future QB out of physical situations like a keeper.
I can understand limiting the offense for a rookie or any inexperience QB, but yes - Oline play was pretty piss poor.
It doesn't look like Timmy hangs onto the ball for insane periods of time anymore. That's always a good thing. Credit to mental awareness and decent coaching.
I guess the donkey's idea was to go out, run the ball and not get embarrassed; because I sure as hell didn't see a "winning" type mentality or gameplan.

I know, huh... I think he threw 11 times in three quarters. I see his "wind up-hold the ball at waist level" delivery has been shortened some, but he still needs a bunch of work. Bronco boards are saying they have found a savior. Idiots. They need some DTs and a line that can at least slow the turnstiles as long as "one potato and..."sepia5;1836695; said:

Ubet, nice outing for Timmah, despite the result. But, I'll say the same thing that I said to many on this board when (Buckeye) Troy Smith looked all world after two starts...lets wait and see what he does with a few more starts under his belt.

If Orton gets even slightly better I bet Tim does not get start number 2.
As to Troy, I do not get the Alex Smith love. It's like they hold it against Troy he does not have all the playbook, but Alex with the playbook keeps getting Ls...
At this point, Tebow needs to keep watching tape and working on the small stuff, and Troy needs to get some starts. We know Tim will outwork anyone, and can cure his techical defects. And we know that Troy is a gamer who needs more actual starts and reps with the first team, given his four years clip board holding. Many NFL starters held the back up role for years until it "clicked". No problem for me with Tim - I'd rather he learns slowly than gets run to a career ending injury by some stupid OC like McCoy. But Troy looks ready the times I've seen him earlier this year. They need to play him at this point in the season - to at least give him more than a two game look - or to increase his trade value to a team that might play him. His down side at not performing is far less than his up side if he does after this many years.They are two different players at two different stages in their development. With Tim I'd take it slow. With Troy, I'd find out if he was starter material or trade for a guy they think would be. Some guys play better than they practice. Lots of examples. I think Troy is maybe one of those guys who is not the practice guy, but who comes alive at game time. I fail to see why two going nowhere franchises won't take any more risks than they are taking.
Hell, even Rex had a career game today. Only 3 turnovers for Rex, which is like a career low.
You can not tell me Rex is so superior to Troy that he deserves a umptieth chance and that Troy does not get a second.

SoCal, Baby!
Here's the deal: Alex Smith is on his last legs with the Niners; he'll sink or swim depending upon how he does the remainder of the season. Niners won't make the playoffs, so whom they play is a function mostly of what they're trying to learn. They know what they get from Troy: an all-or-nothing, very inconsistent QB who can win or lose the game for them - somewhat independent of the performance of their other players. In that regard he's a lot like Vince Young.Gatorubet;1836754; said:As to Troy, I do not get the Alex Smith love.

As for Tebow, I see him as the future of the Broncos. That may or may not be a bright future; he could be another Troy Smith based on what I've seen. Still better than Grossman, who exemplifies massive suck.

Tebow with rookie mistakes - starts the game with a drive and throws a pick in the endzone. Down 17-0 at the half. Comes back in the second half a little, and is trailing 23-17. Has 263 passing, one TD and one INT.
Broncos cannot stop the Texans on defense.
