Has to be Von…I started watching football and the Broncos around 2006 and saw a little bit of Champ but mostly it was the dreary Cutler/Orton years of sorrow until Tebow/Von arrived.

Watching this dude be an absolute menace was truly something, it always felt like as long as Von was on the field there was a chance for a strip sack, or massive loss of yards to take the opponent out of field goal range, or whatever that would seal it.

I was legitimately sad when we traded him, but happy he got another ring and I know he will definitely sign a 1-day deal to retire a Bronco.

I was not too down on him last year, obviously the season sucked but I refused to believe the drop off could truly be that severe. I agree with what some others have said that he seems to be on the move more and making plays…last year some of his best throws were on the move.

I think Hackett took his “I wanna be more of a pocket passer” thing way too seriously and it seemed like he would rather take the sack then bail out of the pocket. Sure he’s not putting up yards, certainly wont be up for MVP or anything…but importantly is he’s being Russ: making plays when it matters and not turning the ball over.

VJ turning the defense around certainly helps too I have to believe, at least with the mentals of it. 15-16 turnovers in 5 games is stupid, but I love it so much.

Holy shit, Metro-Detroit going to get this game? I thought for sure, that we’d non-sensibly get the NE game just for shit of it…poor middle of the state getting Hawks/Saints for no apparent reason lmao
