Unfair, unbalanced.
It would be one thing if you wrote unbiased and analytical columns, but your personal agenda against Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow has been going on since Day One. Where’s your critical eye on running back Knowshon Moreno, a waste of a first-round draft choice? Where is your tirade against offensive tackle Orlando Franklin, who couldn’t pass- block a bloody nose? I don’t see any negative reviews about safety Rahim Moore, who has been benched. But then it’s not personal with those guys, is it?

Kiz: OK, let me get this straight. If you bash Moreno, Franklin and Moore, that’s fair criticism. But if I point out that ESPN’s total quarterback rating currently lists Tebow 35th out of 35 league signal-callers, it is obvious bias?
Make up your mind.
I about spit up my coffee when I saw you are now holding yourself out as a critic of Tebow. My gripe is you were so solidly on the Tebow bandwagon. No other quarterback who played as Tebow did in training camp would have a chance to start with an NFL team. I’m calling out Post columnists for abetting this hubris.

Kiz: Now I’m really confused. Am I behind the wheel of the Tebow bandwagon, or driving him out of town? What is it about any hot-button topic in America that turns us all into Bill O’Reilly or Keith Olbermann, straining so hard to pick a fight that collateral damage to the truth doesn’t really matter?
Can we have a do-over?
Tebow is a distraction causing an unpleasant situation in the locker room that carries over to Sunday. Use Tebow as trade bait. Against an improved Oakland team, Broncos fans are in for gut- wrenching viewing. Dove Valley is in denial. John Elway should have never made this move, for the sake of ticket sales and in the name of feeding the great white media shark.

Kiz: This has been my position on Tebow since before he was drafted, in a size small enough to fit on a sticky note adhered to any computer monitor. Can the obvious magic of Tebow’s winning intangibles overcome more lousy mechanical parts than an ’85 Yugo? While I always had little faith he can become a successful NFL quarterback, I have endless curiosity to see if he’s capable of proving me wrong.
How about some perspective?
I wanted to share an opinion since I was obligated to hear you bash Tebow on the NFL Network. If you have been writing about the Broncos for 28 years, how could you brand him as the worst quarterback in the league after one really bad game! You should be ashamed of yourself!
Ray, channel surfer
Kiz: So you’re the one person who actually takes NFL Network seriously. Last week, when host Paul Burmeister began misquoting my column and then demanded a defense of words I never wrote, there was a brief second when I wondered if I had mistakenly sat down on the set of “Wayne’s World.” No way! Way!
CU is in dire straits.
I liked your column on Colorado football coach Jon Embree. I have doubts he is the right coach. Just bleeding black, silver and gold doesn’t make it so. I put the losses to California and Washington State directly on the coaches’ shoulders. Recruiting is the key, and right now the Buffaloes are rated at or near the bottom of the Pac-12 Conference. This can obviously change before signing day, but does anyone really expect four- and five-star players to commit after watching the debacle of this season?
Jim, Littleton
Kiz: Step 1 of the CU rebuilding plan: Get a quarterback. Step 2: Repeat Step 1.
Give a guy a chance.
Once again, Kiszla, you take a cheap shot at a coach when he is down. It must make your job easier to take the easy view of the situation and relish the extra time it allows you to watch Colin Cowherd on ESPN or follow Merril Hoge on Twitter, two other harpies who hide behind their ‘expertise’ to feed their egos. Embree is a great leader. Embree is a stand-up guy. Embree doesn’t need a mulligan. He needs a little time to put his stamp on the program.

Kiz: I’d feel cool for once in my life if I could just run with the Herd. And when Hoge is not using his hair, do you think he’d let a folically challenged guy like me borrow it?
What does a guy have to do around here to win approval?
And today’s parting shot is from a tough customer who apparently didn’t find six touchdown passes in a game by Southern California quarterback Matt Barkley sufficient to be deemed impressive.
“Of all the college quarterbacks the Broncos could take in the 2012 NFL draft, why would you want Barkley? He will not get the Broncos anywhere. If Denver gets a top draft pick, they should trade it for a bunch of prospects. The Broncos lack talent at every position.”
