Denver Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels is a fucking idiot.
The best part about being a blogger with an alias is that I can tell you exactly what the "real journalists" want to say.
I gave up on "real journalism" years ago. It happened while I was working for a community newspaper in the Portland, Ore. metropolitan-area. As I'm not a total douche-bag, I won't say which one. What I will say is this; you are not allowed to tell it like it is when advertising is on the line.
"Mr. Sauce", said a guy in a suit pretending to be a publisher. "You need to understand that people don't want to read about disappointment and failure. Keep in mind that our local advertisers are what keep all of us employed."
Back to McDaniels and the hard-working nice guy reporters who'd sooner be buddies with the players, coaches and front-office types than upset the oraganizations or advertisers...
Case in print -
"The Tim Tebow pick to me at No. 25 is just too much of a reach."
Matt Williamson of Scouts Inc.
Translation... "What the fuck are the Broncos thinking?"
Then there's this little gem...
"Like (Brady) Quinn, whom McDaniels picked up for virtually nothing, Tebow is a developmental quarterback."
Legendary ESPN analyst and football super-geek with a pony-tail John Clayton.
Translation... "McDaniels has a hard-on for overrated, pretty-boy collegiate quarterbacks who lack the necessary skill set to compete in the NFL. It's a matter of time before the Broncos call Justin Timberlake's agent to find out what he thinks of wintering in Denver".
And another...
"As almost everyone has said for months now, Tebow is a work in progress at quarterback.
Don Banks, SI's Inside the NFL
Translated through the bull-shit filter...
"Josh McDaniels is either developmentally disabled or hard of hearing, because for months people in the know have been screaming to stay the fuck away from Tebow."
What would a sports-media critique be without the thoughts of Peter King?
"We all know the adjustment in mechanics and style of play are going to be huge factors in whether Tim Tebow succeeds in the NFL."
Peter King, Sports Illustrated
The more-killer-less-filler version...
"Josh McDaniels just drafted a quarterback who has about as much chance of succeeding in the NFL as a glazed donut does at a fat-kid's camp."
Look, I've got no problem with Jesus or Tim Tebow. I just don't think Tebow should get to waltz his way into first-round money because he's BFF with the Messiah. Honest to God, it drives me nuts.
Timbow isn't designed to be an NFL signal caller. He's built like an undersized linebacker and throws like one too. He runs fast and hard, but so did Ron Dayne and he wasn't asked to assume the roll of a franchise quarterback. The Broncos are a proud franchise making a mockery of the quest to replace John Elway with the second-coming of, well Elway, who may as well be Denver's own Jesus, who happens to be BFF with Tebow, which explains how he ended up the first-round pick of the Denver Broncos.

As a Colorado resident and casual football fan, living a modest 66 miles away from Invesco field, I have been watching the reaction of my friends on venues like Facebook. Everyone is scratching their heads and trying to put on a happy face.
ReplyDeleteYour post reaffirms my unhappy reaction, which is that it will be another disappointing and unhappy year for Broncos fans.
