Oh please. Vick got the same kind of attention Tebow's getting? Tebow is the most ubiquitous guy in sports right now. I'm not saying it's only because he's white, but it sure as hell helps.

Vick got a lot of attention. More then a lot of people felt he deserved after what he did. He then got $100 million for the second time. Tebow is getting a lot of attention he is also winning, and the QB of a first place team. A first place team with a rich history who has sucked and had no real reasson to be excited the last 6 years now.

Yeah, the Broncos are basically America's team. And Vick's contract has nothing to do with this. He's beaten nobody. The best he did was barely beat the Jets on a cross-country trip four days after one of the most demoralizing losses in franchise history. If he wins a playoff game, I'll leave the board forever.

Im not a fan of his, but I dont dislike him either. I respect him for winning. I thought it was the Raiders division, but they are in trouble having to travel to GB this weekend. Its now Denvers division to lose. I dont think they could beat the Ravens, Pats or Steelers, but Im pretty sure they can beat the Texans. It would all depend on how things work out. Being Americas team now just adds to his legend. They have been irrelevant for a long time. Im still of the belief he can improve his throwing enough to be legit long term, plus they DO NOT have a lot of skill position players on that roster. They really have no one. They dumped there best WR and there best RB is a guy Baltimore felt was finished.

The Texans would absolutely murder them. I don't care who's at QB. I was being sarcastic by the way. No one gives two sh its about the Broncos normally.

Hes wrong about the Texans, not really sure what hes being thanked for. Not that it would matter for a first round game anyway because if they are both in the playoffs they are likely division winners. The Texans have a rookie QB. A great RB and great D. Denver plays D and would make the Texans 1 dimensional. Denver would have a huge chance to beat them in Denver.
