Sanchez is biggest reason for the Jets failures. His deep throwing accuracy is horrible. i think he is the worst starting QB in league. not surprising that his teamies have lost faith in him.

Tim Tebow has led Denver on 18 scoring drives in the fourth quarter or overtime over the last 12 games, the most recent coming on Demaryius Thomas' 80-yard catch and run on the first play of overtime in Sunday's 29-23 playoff upset of the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was Tebow's fourth win in overtime this season. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/story/2012-01-10/top-seeded-patriots-wary-of-tim-tebow-magic/52492780/1

#1- the hype is there because he wins.....even when the experts say he will lose. #2- he is far from a "mediocre" QB. Tebow is no statistical circus freak winning in spite of himself. Tebow's Broncos are winning because he consistently outperforms the opposing quarterback when you take into account all aspects of a QB's production: passing, running, sacks, total touchdowns, interceptions and fumbles. In fact, he consistently outperforms them by a wide margin.

He is a leader who his teammates believe in.

Tebow's 80-yard touchdown pass to Broncos receiver Demaryius Thomas set off something of a Twitter bomb that produced 9,420 tweets per second, the site announced on Monday. That figure topped the previous bests in sports, which were set during the Women's World Cup on July 17, 2011 with rates of 7,196 and 7,166 tweets per second.

As it turns out, the lone interception thrown in the game on Sunday night came from Ben Roethlisberger. What down and distance were involved when he threw it? Third and 16. Of course.... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/10/john-316-tim-tebow-bible_n_1195221.html

The fact that Tebow had 316 yards passing and averaged 31.6 yards per pass in the game didn't escape notice on Sunday night. Tebow wore "John 3:16" on his eye black in the 2009 BCS Championship game and has since become identified with the famous Bible message. The coincidental stats caused millions of fans to perform Google searches on the Bible passage in the past 24 hours. Here's one more unbelievable stat: John Ourand of Sports Business Journal reports that the final quarter-hour television rating for the Broncos-Steelers game was, you guessed it, 31.6. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/tebow-time-three-3-16-references-boffo-tv-172145772.html

John Fox is by far the most overlooked aspect of Denver's success. Coach of the Year candidate.

the way the stars are aligning for Tebow......don't be surprised if Brady slips on a banana peel at home and is out for the playoffs.

The NFL is just not challenging enough, thats why Tim Tebow waits until the end of the 4th quarter and overtime to start playing.

The NFL renamed overtime, "Tebow Time".

he has to throw the ball in 3 seconds or less, Fitz is the reason he is the least sacked....NOT the O-line.

while i agree our biggest need is pressuring the QB with a DE/OLB, i believe that a Left Tackle is not far behind and will be the first round pick because we have absolutely no depth at that position and quite possibly the two worst starting OT's in the league. i believe the draft will fall so as one of the three top LT's will be on the board when we pick. i also believe that Wanny will switch back to a 4-3 defense better utilizing the personnel we already have as our D-Line group is much stronger and deeper than our LB's. they will count on a healthy Merriman to improve QB pressure. DT's - K. Williams, Dareus, Heard and Troup. DE's - Kelsay, Edwards, Carrington and Johnson. ILB's - Sheppard, Davis and Morrison. OLB's - Barnett, Merriman and Moats.

i believe no matter what they do with Bell, they will use their first round pick on one of the three Left Tackles considered Top 10.

Fitz and the running game would both benefit the most by drafting a Left Tackle with our first round pick. i know we need a pass rusher DE/OLB, but i believe the best available player will be one of the three LT's considered Top 10 picks.

For the 2011 and 2012 seasons 99% of the cap must be spent league-wide. After the 2012 season, new rules begin for the remaining eight years of the CBA. Thereafter, each club has committed to spend 89% of the cap in cash on a four-year rolling basis (measured 2013-2016 and 2017-2020). Collectively, the league will spend 95% of the cap in cash on the same four-year rolling basis. What exactly does that mean? It does not mean each team will spend 89% of the cap on player base salaries in each year from 2013-2020. It means in each four-year period the team must spend an average of 89% of the cap in cash. Again, the measurement is cash, not cap space. That means a $20 million signing bonus will count toward the total, even though only a prorated portion counts toward the cap each year, and even if the term of the contract extends beyond the four-year window. It also means all other types of bonuses and incentives count toward the required cash spending. The league-wide 95% requirement in the years 2013-2016 and 2017-2020 will work in the same manner as the 99% league-wide requirement in 2011 and 2012, except it will be measure across a four-year average instead of each year. http://www.forbes.com/sites/sportsmoney/2011/08/11/how-much-are-nfl-owners-forced-to-spend-under-new-cba/

there you go again.....letting facts get in the way of a good internet story.... keep up the good work.

Offensive Line is biggest problem.... 3 seconds to throw a pass.....or hope freddy can get yards after contact because they are on him right away.

i see this draft unfolding so that an OT will be the first pick.

N.O. PIT CIN NYG

think of a first round draft pick as an unproven $5 mil/yr cap slot. if you traded a future #1 to move up, you still have the $5 mil/yr cap slot to use on a proven free agent. so, to me, you haven't lost a thing. in fact, there is less risk with the free agent. therefore, if Indy was stupid enough to swap this years first round picks and accept two additional future first round picks as compensation.....i would make that trade in a heartbeat to get Andrew Luck. besides, if "value" is a ratio of salary paid/talent, i would argue that 2nd round picks are the best value. but like any trade involving future draft picks, you have to be able to evaluate talent and "hit" on your pick(s). as a generalization, i would rather trade up to get a player i'm convinced will be good, versus dropping down, collecting additional picks, picking the best available player and hoping they pan out.

Vincent Jackson played under the Franchise Tag this year. it's unlikely they will tag him again. seeing as he may become a free agent, a trade may not be needed.

my guess would be sections 109 or 114 (10-15 yrd line) in lower bowl/visitors side. sec 108 & 115 (goaline) are slightly lower in cost. i'm a +25 yr season ticket holder and just last year upgraded to section 110 (30 yrd line). do not go lower than row 10 (i'm in row 15, they are perfect) the players standing up watching action, begin to obstruct view for rows 1- 10. the "visitors" side is not full of visitors (except the first 5 rows at the 50). i've sat in clubseats, not worth the extra money, if you like the indoor ambiance of the jim kelly club watching monitors etc..., heck, for me ....might as well stay home. heres a link for a virtual seat view from different locations: http://www.channel1media.com/bills/seatviews/

there are 3 top 10 quality OT's in this draft (Kalil, Reiff & Martin)...i think one will be there at #10. i think there are four teams ahead of us that want/need a QB (indy, cle, wash & mia)which could mean Landry cracks the top ten with Luck & RG III.

we know less about Whaley than we do a backup QB....and yet folks want to boot a proven talent evaluator like Nix to lockup a young promising unknown.
