Titans at Broncos: 6 Questions with Predominantly Orange’s Kim Constantinesco

Joshua: Let’s flash back to the 2012 offseason. Peyton Manning was a free agent. The Denver Broncos and Tennessee Titans were considered as the frontrunners to acquire Manning. Broncos fans were disputing whether they should go with Manning or develop with Tim Tebow. Titans fans were discussing whether they should go with Manning, develop with Jake Locker or even stay the course with Matt Hasselbeck. 

Broncos are on pace for their second consecutive No. 1 seed. Are there still fans who believe that building for the long term (Tebow) would’ve been the right decision? Or have all the Tebow supporters been silenced?

Kim: It didn’t even take two seasons for the Tebow supporters to be silenced. Those who were Broncos fans because Tebow was on the team have retreated, and it’s better that way. Real football minds knew that Manning was the right move as soon as he inked his contract in March of 2012. In less than two seasons with the Broncos, Manning has thrown 78 touchdowns and just 20 interceptions. Anyone chanting “Tebow” now can be put in a room with padded walls.
