Packer Pro Bowl / other Predictions

[Kerb Hohl]

To summarize the post before:

Tebow beat, by no more than a score in almost any of these games except 1:
Cassel (he threw for 93 yards)
Palmer (he threw a few pick 6's)
Rookie Ponder with no Adrian Peterson
Matt Moore
Rivers/Chargers
Mark Sanchez
Caleb Hanie

The combined records of teams he beat was 48-62. If you take out the fact that the Bears were 7-3 with Jay Cutler, he beat a combined 41-59 group. He won those games by 37 points. Outside of the Oakland game where Palmer threw them several pick 6's, they didn't win a game by more than 4 points. Finally, several of those teams Tebow beat were 8-8...and the only reason they were 8-8 or 7-9 is that they all just beat up on each other in the horrible AFC West and the non-Patriot AFC East.

The Broncos were a bottom 5 NFL team last year, bottom 10 at best. They just got an incredible schedule/luck.

Peyton has this team top 5 in the NFL, top 10 if you want to say they've been aided by THIS year's schedule.

I'm not even arguing for Manning but that Tebow argument is bad. They basically played the 7 of the worst teams in the NFL to a draw and lucked out at the end, all while losing the other 4 Tebow played.

I've said as much, but didn't go as in depth. The Broncos were a bad team. With Manning they're top five.

The Broncos would be a good team with a lot of QBs though, IMO. I think people underrate the talent around Manning.

Weak argument. He just played who was on his schedule.
