The situation: To their way of thinking, the Redskins have been a quarterback away since Super Bowl XXVI MVP Mark Rypien left after the 1993 season. Coach Mike Shanahan hasn't won a Super Bowl since former Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway retired...

Obviously, he's got a great following and there's a lot to Tim Tebow, not only what he is as a football player but what he is as a man
CSU fans — this is a man who can pull off being un- smilingly earnest one second, then be tongue in cheek the next, and often be telling the jokes on himself. For instance, here's one about a certain Broncos executive whose father was a coach in the...
Even though it may be too far back for some fans to remember, the "Mile High Magic" can be traced back to the days when a quarterback wearing No. 7 took the team to its first Super Bowl, and it wasn't John Elway. The uniforms, players and stadium have...

As I sat entranced by some of the championship games from my childhood, the one that stood out was Super Bowl XXXII between John Elway's Broncos and Brett Favre's Packers. Favre significantly outplayed Elway, except for one famous eight yard scramble...
Arguing with a person in such a state is typically futile business. No man has started more Super Bowls than Brady has at quarterback, and only John Elway has started as many, five. His seven Pro Bowl selections over a 12-year career represent a...

When John Elway is standing in lava with a football, he will stay there and sink until you're open
We have to be in the market to find more quarterbacks, either through free agency or the draft
That's why I wanted to be a quarterback since I was 6 years old, watching guys like John Elway and Steve Young have game-winning drives
And so that's why we're looking forward to this offseason
We're looking forward to having this offseason with him. There's no question we have to get better at everything ... Obviously the passing game was not what we want it to be. Those are the strides we're going to have to make to be the offensive football team we want to be.
Tim's earned the right to be our quarterback going into training camp next year ... He made some good strides this year. He obviously played very well against Pittsburgh and played very well in a lot of football games, so he made great strides.
to be able to tell him what I learned in Year 10, hopefully get that to him in Year 3 or 4.
Hopefully, I can teach him what I learned over my 16-year career
Well, I think Tim's earned the right to be the starting quarterback going into training camp next year
We'll set a priority on our own free agents and start negotiations ... We'll be working with our coaching staff, getting evaluations, what they think of the players. We'll get feedback from across the building and set a plan for after the Super Bowl.
We'll set a priority on our own free agents and start negotiations ... We'll be working with our coaching staff, getting evaluations, what they think of the players. We'll get feedback from across the building and set a plan for after the Super Bowl.
We still believe there is a lot of growth in that class and there are still a lot of upsides to that class ... Now we have to do it again this year. That's the bottom line. We have to do it again this year and years to come, but I think my first draft (as a Broncos executive) looks very promising.
Your feet and your time clock—to be able to tie those things together, those will be the things we work on and there will be some film study too as far as different reads and where he's looking on different plays ... He's going to be more comfortable having worked with this offense now in his second yea...
The bottom line was, what we needed here, we needed these guys to enjoy football again. We kind of called it a football rehab
Now, I think that anybody that comes in, a free agent, no matter what position, is going to believe they’re going to come in and have a chance to compete ... That’s the thing. Anybody that comes in here, when we start training camp, is going to be competing for jobs. Obviously, with Tim’s reputation, if...
I think he made some good strides this year ... He obviously played very well against Pittsburgh and played very well in a lot of football games.
Yeah, I want to keep doing it, no question ... There’s no question, we had some tough situations this year, obviously with the quarterback situation, where we were coming into camp, even coming out of camp, but I think for the most part I enjoyed that.
Well, right now as we look at it, we’ve got two quarterbacks under contract
Hopefully, I can teach him what I learned over my 16-year career ... to be able to tell him what I learned in Year 10, hopefully get that to him in year 3 or 4.
So, those are the strides that we’re going to have to make for us to be the offensive football team that we want to be ... And so that’s why we’re looking forward to this offseason and we know what kind of mentality Timmy has, he’s a great worker and I know he’ll work his tail off this offseason. ... I ...
Believe me, I'm hopeful ... Anytime you can get a franchise guy and a quarterback that can be your guy for 10 to 12 years, that's what you want as an organization. We're hopeful that Tim's that guy. We know, obviously, that we have some work to do, and he knows that too, but he made great strides this y...
I don't know that there's a certain number. I think the way the rules are these days, that obviously there's so much in the game is set up for the passing game. ... You're always looking for balance.
At the same age I had a long way to go too
You look at what he did against Pittsburgh and the throws that he made in that game shows you that he can do that
