In 1886 Robert Louis Stevenson published his novel Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde as a successful fiction on the conflict of human duality. It’s a work focused on the battle between personal good and evil. It’s interesting; such a strange case of fiction can emulate an even more modern reality. It resonates and hits home with the human condition and the challenge faced in every segment of day to day life.
Wow, now that’s deep.
Who knew it could actually translate to the football field? To the blades of grass or artificial surface between the chalk lines of Navajo white (it’s an actual color—check your local paint store).
In the AFC West, a traditional powerhouse division, someone has apparently pulled the plug. Or maybe they just keep flipping the switch. Maybe, just maybe it’s Dr. Franken-sssssshhhhtttteeeeeen!
It’s bizarre the fallout of the few wins and many losses inside the division has been down-right creepy.
None the less for ware, there has become one personality that appears to have a duality unlike most of his cohorts of the midway. On one side he’s known as Dr. Jaykyll, a master understudy to the Denver media darling known simply as: The Mastermind, himself.
He’s the definition of the New World Man!
“He’s a writer, an arranger, and a young boy bearing arms!” -Neil Peart drummer / lyrist for RUSH
Watching Dr. Jaykyll in action is like watching the sunrise, it’s a sight to see. For Broncos fans, it’s the second coming.
“It's action—reaction—random interaction—
The NFL defenses are all afraid of Dr. Jaykyll’s arm
So get out there and rock and roll the bones!” -Thanks again Neil for the collaboration circa RTB
Dr. Jaykyll can kill defenses, dash playoff hopes, and knockoff future head coaching dreams with just one shot from the young gunslinger. Calmly he’ll walk off the field or gallop as if into the sunset in some spaghetti western. Man it’s just a good time feeling.
Watching Mr. Cutler can make the best of fans hide (pun intended). In a musical sense it’s like turning the radio station from the progressive intensity of RUSH to the down and out ballads of the Eagles.
“All alone at the end of the evening
As the bright lights have faded to blue” -Thanks to the Eagles
Call the truth a liar, go ahead. At times when the great Dr. Jaykyll has imploded to the depths of Mr. Cutler he finds himself isolated like a man on the moon from Timbuktu. It’s a very strange case of chained events indeed.

Neil Peart is an outstanding drummer. I love RUSH! I also love the Broncos and hope that Dr. Jaykyll shows up at the Meadowlands. If so, the Jets will lose and the Broncos will prepare for a stiff challenge against the sucky Chiefs. Just look at the Broncos this season: wins over the Buccaneers, Saints, Falcons and Buccaneers. Losses to the Raiders and Chiefs. It's mercurial but it's fun every week. GO BRONCOS!!! I've got another Rush line for you when Cutler rips out defense's hearts' time stands still!

Yeah, give the Jets all the credit in the world, they might just be where the Broncos want to be a year from now. It's still possible for this Broncos team to rise up though. I expect a much better effort in NY/NJ. Without a doubt these Broncos can beat anyone, but they can also lose to anyone.

Nice parallel to the story with Cutler's situation. It's totally true that Cutler has been so inconsistient this year, and it's discouraging to see the inconsistency get the better of him, normally just in time to kill a nice winning streak. Anyway, let's hope that Dr. Jaykyll shows up on Sunday and that he also shows up to the playoff games that we're going to inevitably host, because I don't see any way that anyone else is winning the West at this point.
Let's go Broncos, and please, Mr. Cutler, stay at home...let the Doctor take care of things.

Henry, I like the way you put it. I want to see Jay play as confidently every game as he talks about other things. He's a very likeable guy, you just hope he rises up soon.
