6. Did you see how long Tebow was able to sit in the pocket last year?

It seemed like he was sitting in there for 5 minutes sometimes.

The reason Manning is so good is because he can read defenses and hit the open man quickly. Denver's o-line will give him all the time he needs. I don't think he'll be getting hit all that often.

They will, however, still need a decent running back.
