I am disappointed the Broncos only get to beat the bears in the preseason this year. I am predicting the sacking masters on the Broncos can knock out Cutler since he is very prone to injury.

At least Cutler didn't fake an injury for an entire year and switch teams when the going got tough.  

Your above comment shows that you are still bitter that he abandoned your team and that you have had to cheer for guys like Tim Tebow and now a 36 year old who is one step into the retirement home.

Also, the video that you posted shows Hitler is an Aaron Rodgers fan.  I'm not surprised.

I believe in longevity in greatness as Elway has given us hope. Manning can easily take tons of Marino's record as our offensive line does it's job unlike some other teams.  I am just concerned for Cutler's safety considering he has been sacked 75 times in the past two seasons. More than any other NFL quarterback.

Hitler is clearly a fair weather fan of the Bears.

I'm in. Go Denver.

I believe in longevity in greatness too.  The problem is that Manning doesn't have much greatness left in him.  They have to win it all this year or next and then it's pretty much over and it usually takes a year for any QB to click on all cylinders with his new team.  The window of oppotunity is rapidly closing and Manning just got there.

All Bears fans are concerned for Cutler's health, but last year the O-Line was mediocre (he injured himself while tackling someone after his receiver fell down) which was a huge step up from being worst in the league the year before.  If they can be okay this year, then I will be happy.

Cool to have another Broncos fan here.

 

If Insomniac joins in this season the Broncos will be the most popular team in the prediction league. I like this.

That is arguable. You have to remember that Manning 's greatness is not just physical, but also mental greatness as well. You cannot say he is not known as the mastermind of the game, and the most anal in his preperation. These kinds of qualities put him ahead of other quarterbacks coming to a new team. Not to mention Coach John Fox will let Manning run a hybrid of Manning's system and those created by our offensive coaching staff. I refuse to count him out yet. It is still not to worrisome because if Peyton some how fails his contract is written like each year is a one season contract. Something done because he is making so, so much money.

Yeah, it is clear your o-line is the weak point. Obviously, you guys improved the offense as a whole, but I still question the potential without knowing if the bears have even brought in any new o-line players or a coach.

I can't let that happen. I am going to include a rule that limits the amount of Broncos fans.

While I am at it, a rule that prohibits Tebow-mania probably won't hurt either. Although nobody likes the Jets anyway.

Blame Peyton Manning.

I have to keep Tebowmania alive because he is the best source of jokes and I happen to like the guy even if he plays on one of the most boring teams.

I agree that he is a cerebral QB, but it takes anyone a while to get acclimated to a system and if they are going over to his system then all of his new teammates will take a while to get used to it.  Also, he needs to be able to do the things physically.  I'm not 100% sold on him being the QB that he was before the injury "physically".  A nerve injury on the side of the neck that is above your throwing arm can lead to numbness in your throwing hand which can lead to inaccurate throws.  Even if it seems to be under control as the Broncos are stating, one good hit on it or just him throwing a pass could possibly throw everything out of whack.  We'll see what happens, but the Broncos really are putting their eggs all in one basket as the expression goes.  

Gabe Carimi was the Bears 1st round pick last year and the O-line did much better last year until he got injured.  If he and the rest of the line stay healthy, I believe that they will be average which would be good enough with the weapons that they now have.

Before he was a Bronco I was very skeptical of his future and I still am. The thing is that with his history I cannot help, but think he will improve the team a lot. Even if it is not championship level. I am not alone though as he has brought huge excitement to the fans setting record attendances just for practices.

Well, the offensive line could improve. No doubt they will be better overall. I hope so as I do not want to see a domineering Green Bay once again.
