Trask looking good

Yes, and while I'm a huge Tebow fan, its hard to fault trading out Tebow for Peyton Manning.
Any NFL GM would have done the same.

 

Tebow love aside, that’s easy to say after the fact. If you remembered Manning having multiple surgeries to fix his neck (which is why his time in Indy was done) would you still say the same thing? At the time, I’m not sure it’s as easy of a decision. Honestly I think Elway brought him in hoping he’d fail thus boosting his own love for his own name as being the greatest. I know that’s a conspiracy theory but the glove fits

 

Elway was always against Tebow in Denver - I think he was jealous of Tebow's enormous popularity - and he repeated insane late game heroics.

 

I agree. Whenever I say that, people immediately point to him bringing in Peyton. But he didn’t bring in a healthy Peyton, he brought in a broken dude that still got the job done somehow. I think that surprised Elway.

 

Plus - he got rid of Tebow before the Manning deal was done. Manning was considering a lot of options and could have easily went in a different direction.

 

Kyle Orton was just a superior QB lol. He sucked on the Bears, he sucked in Denver.

 

John Elway is to the Denver Broncos what Tim Tebow is to the Florida Gators: god-tier status, legacy cemented for eternity. Tim Tebow would never have any reason to be jealous of any Gators QB after him, just like John Elway had zero reason to be jealous of Tebow. As a newly appointed Broncos GM in January 2011 who had to evaluate the teams QB position, Elway simply didn’t think Tebow was the long-term solution. He had no attachment or loyalty to Tebow since he didn’t draft him, and he wanted his own handpicked QB to take over. The QB he handpicked ended up taking the Broncos to 2 Super Bowls, and winning one. Elway did his job as GM.

 

Making 2nd and five a consistent down is underated. Some you just have to make the small plays and dont screw it up.
