Goodbye BroncoTalk
“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.”
– That song that, ironically, never ends being stuck in your head.
I started BroncoTalk in November of 2006 — days before the Denver Broncos decided to bench Jake Plummer. So this blog has survived quarterbacks Jake Plummer, Jay Cutler, Kyle Orton, Chris Simms, and Tim Tebow.
Like many an NFL defense, it will...

For example, did I really date him/her or,did I just waste three hours of my life and watch Titanic for the third time? Regrets are also made by our favorite football teams on draft days. The San Francisco 49ers, who are often praised for the draft picks, have made a few mistakes...
Vote: Who Is the Greatest Quarterback in NFC West History?
Editor’s note: As part of NFL’s Greatest Quarterback, fans will decide the best quarterback in team, division, conference and league history.
Other than the 49ers, the NFC West teams haven’t had a long history of legendary quarterbacks. They’ve piled up plenty of Pro Bowls, and the Rams even have two Hall of Famers, but names like Bob Waterfield and Norm Van Brocklin aren’t...

K-State's Klein focused on playing QB
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Sure he could do it. Easily. Heres this 6-foot-5 Mack truck with Nureyevs feet, a guy who runs a 4.7 in the 40-yard-dash, dunks basketballs with ease, and can stop and start on a dime. A dude with the vision of a hawk, the gait of a gazelle, and a mind like a steel trap.
Collin Klein could be anything he wanted to be in the NFL.

Rating the Arizona Cardinals starting quarterbacks since 1988.
Okay, the original plan was to rate Arizona quarterbacks in some sort of sequential hierarchy since the Cardinals moved from St. Louis to Tempe, Arizona in 1988.
After further review, this plan seemed frivolous.
Only two quarterbacks have taken the Cardinals to the playoffs since arriving in the desert, Kurt Warner and Jake Plummer. Kurt Warner has by far the most eye popping...
'Desert Swarm' D mourns tough-guy Osborne
Chuck Osbornes last game in an Arizona uniform put his career in its clearest light.
Osborne capped a relentless four years by recording three sacks in a 31-28 victory over Arizona State on Nov. 24, 1995, at Sun Devil Stadium. His fourth-quarter sack was the game-changer he knocked the ball loose from ASU quarterback Jake Plummer on a third-down pass attempt. Fellow defensive lineman...
