I get that the media hyped him so much so that some people love him and others don't and it has pretty much nothing to do with football on either of the extremes ends of that but I have no idea how he got drafted in the first round. How does an NFL team fall into media hype? That still amazes me. Josh McDaniels was on a whole new level of bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He parlayed that into a head coach job with full GM duties. The broncos deserve the season they are having after making such an epic bad decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenksismyhero Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Can't deny though that he's given Denver a ton of money and attention. Maybe that was part of it. They knew they'd be bad for a while, so why not stay in the headlines. See also the Ozzie Guillen Guide to Public Relations During a s***ty Season.

Tebow is not Elway's guy. Elway wants Tebow out there for a brief period so that the moron fans and Bible pushers can stop chanting "TEBOW" everytime poor Kyle Orton throws an incomplete pass. Hopefully everyone shuts the f*** up moving forward so the Broncos can move on with trying to actually find a QB who can throw the f***ing ball with accuracy more than 5 yards.

DrunkBomber Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 31, 2011 -> 01:43 PM) It's not because of Tebow himself but the fellation he receives from some of the media; "he changes your life" or articles about how he's the first nice guy to play football ever and signs autographs for middle-aged fans! (who will sell them on eBay) and how he's just so amazing! It makes me want to throw up. Kurt Warner is super-religious but people didn't hate him for it because the media didn't portray him as a saint because of it. This 1000x this. The fact there is outrage that someone Tebowed Tebow is hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) Philip Rivers has been extraordinarily mediocre this year, if not bad. He's a turnover machine. Edited November 1, 2011 by chw42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamshack Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 31, 2011 -> 09:18 PM) He's been plain bad. We get the Chargers' broadcast here in Vegas since we don't have an NFL team and a lot of people have adopted them. Their announcers last night keep saying he is just not right. People can point to the injuries they have had at their skill positions but I seem to remember them being a lot more beat up last year at times and yet Rivers was still lighting everyone up.

Kyyle23 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Maybe Rivers shredded his shoulder and is playing through it, hence the loss of his pinpoint accuracy. Rivers has stayed pretty healthy throughout his career, this may be his bump in the road. Or, it could be just the exception season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) Something has to be wrong with Rivers. He has been so good the last three years and now he looks like a different player. I wonder if he has a injury, but it is something he can play with. Maybe it's bothering him mentally. Edited November 1, 2011 by GoSox05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostfan Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Yeah Rivers has always had a bizarre throwing motion. It's never really affected him. It's kind of unfair to blame a lost game on one player for one blown play, but literally all Rivers had to do there was not drop the snap and the game was over.
