Actually I haven't visited ESPN's website in several weeks =P. Yahoo and NFL.com are where I get the majority of my football related info.
And I don't really care what anyone thinks about McDaniels, including himself... that is not a passing team. They have an average receiving core without any real deep threats. Their strength over the last 10 years has always been their offensive line's ability to protect the passer and allow running backs to find holes. Denver has been known to basically breed running backs. Yes, a lot of that had to do with Shanahan and his coaching philosophy, but that is still what the team has been built around.
I think they picked up Tebow because McDaniels has a huge fuckin' ego and wants to prove people wrong about Tebow's ability. I don't believe, however, that Tebow will become the starting QB for Denver this year without an injury to Orton.
And yes, you were wrong about their RB situation... their RB situation involved a shit ton of injuries. They never had a solid fullback to run behind, either. But, the largest point to make, is that the team as a whole fell on its face after week 6 of last year. It's still a solid team from a player's perspective, but after other coaches figured out McDaniel's plans 1/3 of the way into the season, he never came up with any counters.
And a near 1000 yard rushing rookie season isn't terrible by any means. Most of the games that he was given the ball more than 15 times he averaged over 4 yards a carry, with only a couple exceptions. The times that Moreno performed poorly was when he barely touched the ball... as is the case for most RB's. Moreno is a good back, but he suffered along with everyone else on the team from having a first year coach.
