November 2nd, 2014 Broncos vs Patriots resulted in a 43 to 21 SPANKING by the Patriots. The Broncos were fielding one of the best quarter backs ever (Manning).

The Broncos lost that game because they couldn't stop Brady (4 TDs) & the Pats offense, not because of Manning (although he did throw 2 INTs).

And then Manning came back to beat the Patriots in the playoffs that same year with a great game.

Thank you for making my point. While sports fans and the media place the blame for a loss on the shoulders of the QB, in truth, it is not always the QB’s fault.

Tebow took a failing team (1-4) to the 2nd round of the play offs. That is better in my opinion that what most quarter backs can do. The Broncos made a HUGE error by letting Tebow go. They should have kept him and let him understudy to Manning and played him during games that they were already well ahead.

Huh? That same year Manning went one and done again with a loss to the Colts, scoring just 13 points and not getting to play the Patriots again.
