Now that the Broncos season is officially over (congratulations to the New England Patriots on playing a tremendous game to eliminate Denver from the playoffs), I thought I’d say a few words about the Broncos season.
This was a particularly exciting season for the Denver Broncos. The turning point was when John Fox decided to make a change at quarterback and start Tim Tebow. In my opinion, Tim was the MVP of the Broncos this year. He seemed to raise the level of play of everyone around him.
At one point the Broncos were 7-1 with Tebow at the helm. Eventually, they won their division, and returned to the playoffs for the first time since 2005. Then they did something that nobody in the world seemed to think would happen: they defeated the defending AFC champions Pittsburgh Steelers in the playoffs in what was one of the most exciting playoff finishes in Broncos postseason history. Wow, what a year!
Coloradans are disappointed at the outcome of yesterday’s game, but as you look ahead to the Broncos next season, as I see it, the future looks bright. Tim Tebow will only get better. People seem to forget that Tim just finished his second year in the league (after playing very little last year I might add). Everyone seems to want him to put up numbers like Tom Brady when he is still so inexperienced at the pro level. Yet look at how far he helped take the team! In the playoffs, the Steelers defense dared Tebow to beat them with his arm and that’s exactly what he did.
The Patriots showed that Denver still has some work to do before we are an elite team, but still great progress was made from the 4-12 debacle of last year.
