Five and One

First things first. Good luck to Kyle Orton in Kansas City. The record speaks for itself. Recent Broncos history tells us however that recent optimism should be cautious. After all, the Broncos started 6-0 in Josh McDaniels’ first year as coach only to implode. However, it’s difficult not to be exuberant with the Broncos. While aerial fireworks may be lacking their rush heavy offense takes up a lot of time tiring out opposing defenses, allowing their own to rest and opening up passing options. That rested defense has been playing superbly. A few seasons Denver has had good starts for their D, only to see it deteriorate over the length of the season. This time their defense is getting better as the year goes on. And no matter the criticism of his game, Quarterback Tim Tebow is winning and seems to inspire the entire team. The most persistent argument is the assertion that it can’t last, that Tebow cannot continue to play at this level. This is inevitably true, what professional football player remained on the field forever? None, because it ends for everyone. It’s just a matter of when. With an increasing command of the Broncos offense and improving passing statistics as the games progress Tim Tebow is proving to be a good quarterback and no matter when it ends, it will be fun to watch.
