Fox yanked Orton last Sunday & put in Tebow. IMO he did that with the idea of shutting up the Tebow fans after they saw Tebow play with no preparation.

Well, Tebow did what he does, he is a GAMER & almost led the Broncos back to win the game. Fox now has no option but to start Tebow because when he was given the chance, Tebow showed he is the better QB.

I think this situation is much like the Edwards situation in Buffalo last year. Both Edwards & Orton were given EVERY opportunity to succeed & both failed miserably.

Now Tebow has the opportunity to prove his detractors wrong just as Fitz did in Buffalo. Tebow will start this Sunday in Miami before a Stadium full of his fans.

Yeah, & that is why Miami has resorted to having GATOR day even though it is FAR from Gainesville & is The Hurricanes homefield.

There are not that many Gator fans in the Miami area but I expect a good number of Gator fans from all over the State of Florida to travel to Miami for this game.

Gator fans travel WELL.

I think Tebow is better than a lot of people think. He might not win any style points but he has something. On the other hand he's got a long ways to go so the haters have to cut him some slack. Just remember football is a very emotional game. If he can make some plays he'll get the fans charged up and his teammates charged up and that will lead to games won. And that folks is the rub.

Well that post is just TOTAL BS. There is no bigger anti-Tebow guy on this board!!!

You said he was not an NFL QB before the draft & said he was not better than a 5th or 6th rnd pick.

I said he would be picked by the 2nd rnd & could be picked in the 1st. You ridiculed that like you are ridiculing his starting this Sunday.

Well come week 5 we will see who has the last laugh. If he is not starting by then you will be proven right, but if he is the starter week 5 you will be proven wrong yet again about Tebow.

Fans always make fun of guys for their most obvious traits.

Tebow's a God boy, Hasselbeck's a bald guy, Cedric Benson's a DUI guy, Jeff Garcia's a gay lisp guy, Vick's a dog killer, Plaxico's a gun in sweatpants guy, etc etc.

That's just what fans do when they make fun of athletes. They pick up on something obvious and run with it.

Coming out of college, I'll admit I didn't think Tebow's skill set would translate to the NFL - or at least not immediately. His mechanics weren't good, he did a long wind up before throwing, he can't take the constant hits from bigger guys, he wasn't known for making his progressions, and guys aren't as wide open in the NFL.

At best, I saw him as a project. But hey, at this point, he looks like a gamer. He did fairly well down the stretch last season too.

So, my answer is yes. There are reasons to lack complete faith in the guy. But those reasons may turn out to be wrong.

I'm just saying that people who really, really like Tebow tend to get way too sensitive about criticism of his skill set.

And yes, it often comes down to, YOU HATE HIM BECAUSE HE LOVES JESUS!!!

Which is inane and stupid.

I don't hate Tim Tebow, I think he's a great example of taking what talent you have and doing something great with it, which is what he did at Florida. However guts and determination can only get you so far before the lack of talent begins to catch up with you, and that's the problem with him being a QB in the NFL.

Well, since he has been drafted people have said he could not take the constant hits from bigger guys.

Well, what the people that say that don't get is there are few bigger guys playing the game than Tebow. If he were a defensive player, he would be a MLB. Tebow is tough & can dish it out rather than take it.

His mechanics are not pretty, but he gets the job done.

He'll be consistently exciting on a 5-7 win team.

He'll have games when he needs to throw the ball and that equals a loss 98 % of the time.

Then America will finally realize he's a gimmick QB.

Elway is not a Tebow fan and would love nothing more then to finish with the #1 pick and get his guy Luck. Either way, he'll be getting his qb of the future in the next draft. He's not going to hitch his career to Tim Tebow.

Well, I can't disagree with any of this. I think Elway would have had much better luck getting Luck if they kept Orton at QB.

Like I said in the 1st post of this thread, I think Fox only put Tebow in the last game after being the #3 QB with NO PREPARATION to shut up the Tebow fans.

Had Tebow flopped, Fox could have said "see I told you so" "I knew Tebow could not play, but we weren't going to win this game anyway, so now you all know Tebow can't play, so just shut up about me playing Tebow again."

Well, Tebow ruined that plan by playing as he can & he almost pulled out the win. Next game against Miami, I predict Broncos 28 Fins 24.

i'm skeptical since trent edward of the QB's who do well initially on very plain plans.

I'm fine with Tebow being something. he seemed like a good guy (regardless of his religious beliefs) on the biggest loser and the pre draft segments.

I think we've seen from vick that it's a bit unsustainable to run that frequently, regardless of his size.

If teams force him to take big hits for short gains and he's got a slow release, i don't see him being able to get much better than where people have him pegged.

I stand by my evaluation fully, I dont see Tebow as a NFL caliber starting QB and I dont think he should of been drafted anywhere near where he was.

Could he prove me wrong? Absolutely, happened before it will happen again, but I dont think Timmy is going to do it.

Him starting this early though is not good for his development. Fans pushed the organization to this decision and it may be detrimental to him. We'll see, but please can we all agree to not come back after 1 game and be that ******ed fan who goes "...see I told you so!"?

10-11-2011, 02:10 PM
The issue with Timmay is this;

He hasn't shown the ability to read defenses yet, take the intagibles away, take the physical limitations away, take it all away. If he can't see what in front of him, process it, and make the right decision then its not going to work.

At this point its that simple for Timmay, if he can read the defenses and work through progressions he has a shot, if he can't then he will fail and fail hard.

Its the single biggest hurdle he must overcome and thus far we have not seen it from him.

Well, even when he plays the rest of this year, he has not had a chance to be the QB in training camp. He is going in with no preparation, playing in an offense suited to Orton, not himself so I don't expect much this year.

I do expect him to do what he does & that is to make something out of nothing & bring some excitement to that team & fan base.

Tebow when given the chance last year, played well. When thrown in the game Sunday with no prepartation, playing in an offense not suited to his unique abilities played well.

The idea that Fox is in on this conspiracy to shut up his supporters is about as nut job as when people were saying Vegas had the fix in on the Bills lost to Cincy.

It is a FACT that the Broncos had a package of plays designed for Tebow & his abilities last year. That is a FACT you can look it up if you choose to do so.

It is also a FACT that Fox has not put in such a package this year. His entire offense was built around the strengths of Orton, not Tebow. Much like when Jauron put in an offense designed for Edwards, not Losman.

Those are both facts, NOT conjecture & are easily verified on the net.

Tebow was not prepared in the sense he got NO playing/practice time with the receivers on the field as the 3rd QB. Yes he knew what he was supposed to do, but he had NO OPPORTUNITY to PRACTICE, that is being UNPREPARED.

It is a FACT that the Eagles DESIGNED an offense to take advantage of Mike Vicks strengths. In the same mannor, an offense can be designed to take advantage of Tebows strengths, in fact, I think Tebow would do very well in the Philly offense.

Tebow can succeed in an offense SUITED to his abilities. To play in an offense NOT suited to his abilities will limit his effectivness. It would be like asking Joe Montana to play QB for the Raiders, He would have FAILED because he did not have the arm to play in the Raider offense.

the sole reason Tebow is polarizing is because he's an outspoken Christian. no other reason.


As a Christian, I find your words idiotic.

Tebow may have been "polarazing", as you say. That was 2 years ago.

What he is now is a cutsy, trendy curiosity, a feature for their fans to howl for, a storyline for ESPN and the like, a name to get ink in DEN's n'paper and something to yak about on their tv and radio stations.

He's a great athlete. He's no NFL qb or receiver.

This post is idiotic. Tebow is STILL a Christian & people that do not like Christians do not like Tebow. If you don't believe that you are delusional.

As far as his ability to play QB in the NFL, that is yet to be determined, but I would bet on Tebow myself.

Of course his live back and forth with Kiper on National Radio would have nothing to do with him being considered polarizing.

The fact that ESPN ran an entire special around his draft process.

The fact that he went to one of the most polarizing schools in the SEC.

The fact that the MSM anointed him the golden child.

But no none of those things matter because what people really care about is that he prays to the Bible since that's so rare amongst all these professional athletes who profess their love for God in numerous award speeches.

A package is not an entire offense, your attempt to act like it is make no sense. Of course Tebow has a special wildcat like package. That's all he was worth his Rookie year.

You dont even know how many reps he got in practice last week, full conjecture and excuse making. The other side of that is that SD also spent no prep time on Tebow scheming against him. You won't want to acknowledge this though because it hurts the crux of your argument.

Well, the package last year was SOMETHING. MORE than what Tebow has to take advantage of his strengths this year. If Fox now adds some plays it will be something new to the team that they have not had a training camp to practice.

The Eagles offense is an ENTIRE offense & as I said, I think Tebow could be very effective in that offense.

I did not compare Tebow to Vick, I said Tebow has the skill set to play the same offense Vick plays. If I were to compare the two, I would say Tebow is younger, bigger, stronger, tougher & less prone to injury than Vick.

QB's are more exposed then they are on the move because they are usually still trying to make a play downfield, that's why the NFL has put in so many rules to protect them.

Delivering a blow as a fullback and as a running QB are very different.

Well, when Tebow gets past the line of scrimmage, he goes into runner mode. He puts his shoulder down & looks to deliver the hit rather than take it.

Behind the line, Tebow is mobile enough to avoid many hits before throwing the ball. When he does get hit, he is much bigger than Mike Vick & less likely to get injured.

A neck injury ended Mike Alstotts career................after 12 years. 12 years is a pretty good career for a RB. Like Tebow, Alstott was tough as nails.

Tebow was the 3rd QB, NOT the back up. That was Quinn. Therefore it is easy to assume he had NO PRACTICE with the 1st team. Because he had NO PRACTICE he was not prepared.

To be fair Mike Vick would have gone undrafted if you were basing it on his passing ability and soundness of his footwork alone coming out of college. But his own admission he also didn't prepare like he should have for games in ATL, got away with his off the charts athletism. Tebow doesn't have anything resembling Mike Vick's speed but like Cam Newton he does give a defense another dimension to consider. It took Mike Vick over 6 years and a trip to the slammer to learn real QB skills. Maybe we can give Tebow some time to see what he can learn?

Well, that is a matter of opinion. Bradford has not looked good this year. If you ask any Bronco fan if they would trade Tebow for McCoy straight up I doubt you would find any takers for that trade.

I meant 2nd year QB's from years past, not 2nd year players in general.

2nd year QB's from years past well that Manning fellow had a pretty good 2nd year if memory serves me correctly. Matt Ryan too.

To be fair Mike Vick would have gone undrafted if you were basing it on his passing ability and soundness of his footwork alone coming out of college. But his own admission he also didn't prepare like he should have for games in ATL, got away with his off the charts athletism. Tebow doesn't have anything resembling Mike Vick's speed but like Cam Newton he does give a defense another dimension to consider. It took Mike Vick over 6 years and a trip to the slammer to learn real QB skills. Maybe we can give Tebow some time to see what he can learn?

Who has said he doesn't deserve time? To be fair though there was never a doubt or reason to move Vick from QB. Tebow doesn't have the same athletic ability, the same arm strength, mechanics, or creativity of Vick who is a freak.

Any comparions being made the two should start and end with just don't do it.

On NFL Network, John Elway said Tebow is throwing the ball much better than last year even with the lockout. He said "next offseason I will get a chance to work with him."

That sounds like Elway plans to be Tebows personal QB coach next offseason.

NONSENSE. Tebow is just as athletic as Vick. Tebow probably has a stronger arm than Vick, have you seen his guns? If not google some pictures of Tebow.

Vick has never been known as a QB with great mechanics, in fact his mechanics in Atlanta were ridiculed.

Tebow is every bit as creative as Vick as well & proved that just this past game.

Vick wins SPEED.

Tebow wins Age, Size, Strength, Toughness, ability to stay healthy.

I think their defense is good enough to win them some games.

This is what I wrote earlier this season on RGIII;
http://www.buffalobillsdraft.com/2011/09/could-he-be-vick-2-0/

If the Broncos decide to stick with Tebow, I think RGIII would fit right into that same system. Much like Josh Johnson behind Josh Freeman. He also might be a fit in Buffalo behind Fitz.

If you read what you wrote about RGIII the same positives that are said about Vick & RGIII can be said about Tebow.

Johnson is a FA after this season. I hope he resigns with the Bucs, but if not, RGIII might be a good pick up for the Bucs & I would be happy to see Johnson sign with the Bills.

Well, Tebow has played in the SEC for 4 years. The BEST Conference in College & where MANY players on DEFENSE are drafted high in the 1st rnd. And Tebow set a number of passing records in the SEC. You don't set passing records in the SEC if you can't throw the ball.

He has played the way he will continue to play in the NFL, & has been healthy.

He's obviously not the athlete Vick is who was the overall #1 player taken in the draft. But he doesn't need to be to be an effective run/pass threat. The key for Tebow is shortening his delivery, getting more accurate, and improving his footwork. On that front he is a direct comparison to Vick who struggled in those areas for 6 years before he teamed up with Andy Reid. I would see a more direct ceiling for Tebow to be a Steve Young but Tebow has a long way to go to get to that level.

Denver drafted him to be a QB, what's done is done in that regard. Just because I believe he will not be a successful one does not mean I dont believe he should be given time to learn the position and give it a shot. He's being put into a bad situation right now. As I said before the draft there is no way Id let him see the field for two years. That's how far behind he was as a QB in my evaluation. To me Fox and Denver are bowing to public pressure and its a mistake for them, the organization and Tebow.

Speed is a big part of it. But they measure athletic ability with some specific tests at the combine. Other than maybe bench press Vick would crush Tebow in every other measurement. 40, cone drill, vertical jump, broad jump, shuttle. I'm not putting Tebow down here, I think he did fine at the combine. But Mike Vick is one of the greatest athletes I've ever seen in any sport and as folks that read my posts know, I'm no fan of his.

I don't think he's being put in a bad position. There's only so far he can gain by going to practice. The speed of the NFL game for a QB has to be experienced and it takes some time. Denver has nothing to lose by playing him at this point. He's had 2 camps and an offseason to begin the learning process, now it's time to see what he has when you're 1-4. Cam Newton is as green as grass also and seems to be coming along pretty damn well.

Mechanically as far as passing motion I agree but neither of them had taken many snaps under center, both played a shotgun and Cam was playing a one read system at Auburn which was a big knock on him on this board if you recall. In addition Cam had only 2 years of college ball vs. 4 for Tebow and one of those was juco which is not the same. I'm surprised how quickly Cam is adjusting to the NFL it's pretty amazing. We'll have to wait and see on Tebow but he's ready to play IMO.

Tebow would fit in well with the role Brad Smith is playing in our offense because he has better passing skills which you could utilize and that the defense would have to defend against. As far as an NFL QB goes he will never be a franchise QB.

At best he may be an average starter on an average or poor team. He will most likely end up as that for a while until the new flavor of the drafts come around and he will settle in as a backup QB, Wild Cat player or them types of luxury players.

No incorrect, and he's addressed this. Christianity, his reaching out, giving back, and missionary work are his passion, football always has and always will come secondary to that.

That's not to say he doesn't care about football or doesn't give it his all. But he's made it clear that his passion is in his faith which is completely fine for any player.

No incorrect, and he's addressed this. Christianity, his reaching out, giving back, and missionary work are his passion, football always has and always will come secondary to that.

That's not to say he doesn't care about football or doesn't give it his all. But he's made it clear that his passion is in his faith which is completely fine for any player.

Well, as I said before, Tebow lives his faith. And yes he is all about his missionary work & reaching out to people.

Football is his secular passion in life. And as I said before he loves the game so much that he would be willing to change position if it could be PROVED to HIM that he can't play QB in the NFL. I doubt that day ever happens.

And you personify the stereotype of what makes you think Im a hater. You only choose to see things in black and white in regards to Tebow, which is fine.

But any critique of his ability or skill no matter how legitimate is immediately taken by you and used to label somebody as a hater. Which again is fine, but logically it doesnt make a lot of sense.

Are there things to like about Tebow? Yes, Ive named them countless times in this thread and others before the draft. Are there things to dislike? Absolutely, does that make somebody a hater? No, only in your mind.

Tebow could suceed and my life will move on, Tebow could fail and my life will move on. I can promise you I wont be back here succeed or fail calling people out or asking for props.

Mechanically as far as passing motion I agree but neither of them had taken many snaps under center, both played a shotgun and Cam was playing a one read system at Auburn which was a big knock on him on this board if you recall. In addition Cam had only 2 years of college ball vs. 4 for Tebow and one of those was juco which is not the same. I'm surprised how quickly Cam is adjusting to the NFL it's pretty amazing. We'll have to wait and see on Tebow but he's ready to play IMO.

I disagree about Juco and that's an old argument that has been hashed out. Its relevant and people only want to discount it because they don't understand it.

Im not completely surprised about Cam, but before you, I, or the rest of get too amazed by him give it 5-6 more weeks. When he goes through the NFC South a 2nd time is when we really need to watch him. That's when we'll know if its him or if its just a lack of film the first time around.

Could he be a H Back or a TE sure he could.

you lose credibility when you say bs stuff like this. if you really believe it, then you haven't seen Orton play, and didn't watch the last 5 minutes of the game. Denver's Oline is atrocious.

Sure Orton would have put up 28. Just like he put up all those points in the Broncos last game he played. Oh wait a minute, Tebow was put in that game because Orton SUCKED & the Broncos were hopelessly behind the Chargers, not because Orton had them so far out in front it was clean up time. Tebow came in & almost won that game.

Orton has had PLENTY of time to prove he SUCKED for the Broncos. You obviously have not watched him play since joining the Broncos. He was 3-10 last year & 1-4 & playing terribly before losing his starting job to Tebow this year.

Tebow looked terrible for 57 minutes yesterday, and I mean terrible. He deserves credit for playing well at the end, but he still needed a lot of luck. Recovering onside kicks is a low percentage play and the Miami player should have been able to hang on to that ball. He was also fortunate that the D came up with a turnover in FG range in OT. I don't know what Moore was thinking not even protecting the ball with a guy coming right at him, but whatever. This dolphin team is so bad it's painful. Tebow is going to have to improve significantly if the Broncos are going to win some more games.

Tebow threw one pass to the sideline when the WR was in the middle of the field. That tells me Tebow expected him to be on the sideline & he ran the wrong route.
Oh my god dude take the tebow worshiping blinders off. He missed open throws all game. He couldn't even hit the RB from 5 yards away.

We get it, you love Tebow and he can do no wrong. You are completely incapable of having an objective discussion about.

Let's just see how he does against any other team not called the Miami Dolphins.

We will see how he does. Whatever he does, it will be with LITTLE HELP at WR, that is a FACT.

It is a fact his WR's were well covered all game long. The passes he completed were in spite of good coverage by Miami not because his WR's were wide open.

Tebow set a number of NCAA passing records at Florida, playing in the SEC against MANY DB's that now play in the NFL. You don't SET RECORDS in the SEC with an arm as bad as his critics make his out to be.

I seem to remember a nice screen pass he completed at the end of the Fins game for a TD. As well as a few other passes before that.

Well, you can & will call them excuses, but they are FACTS. There were people on this board willing to give up a 3rd rnd pick or better for Lloyd.

There is no WR left on that team that anyone would be willing to trade a 4th or 5th rnd pick for. No WR on that team would even start for another team let alone be the #1 & #2 receivers.

It's amazing some of the mental gymnastics people put their minds through in order to defend Tim Tebow.

Tim Tebow is a talented guy, a likable guy. I have nothing against him. But holy **** his fans are most hyper-annoying, over-zealous people on the planet.

Who or what are you referencing?

I see a couple guys criticizing his overall performance vs the Dolphins, but none of it comes across as blind hatred. It's a football assessment, nothing personal.

I don't understand where all this imaginary vitriol is coming from. Not everyone agrees he's going to be a great NFL QB. Hate seems like a strong term for that.

You know exactly why there is such vitrol over this guy.

Any thing pointed out as wrong is immediately categorized as hate and anything he does even remotely well is blown up to such epic proportions that its almost impossible to have a rationale discussion about his performances.

I worked today & ESPN was on in the background. It seemed like hours, show after show of the ESPN "experts" calling Tebows play against Miami terrible, atrocious, on & on. Then at the end of the vitriol a sentence or two about how you have to give him credit for winning the game.

Well, I will tell you who played atrocious, terrible Sunday, Kyle Boller & Carson Palmer. Now that was ATROCIOUS QB play.

Tebow did not play well for most of that game, but he was not responsible for a single point the Fins scored. He did not play well, but MANY QB's have played MUCH worse than Tebow did in that game.


Yet I hear HOURS & HOURS of criticism about Tebows play & maybe a short blurb about Boler & Palmers poor play. That is why Tebow fans need to defend him.

HA HA. I heard what was said just fine. Your sense of humor probably equals your football IQ.

ANYONE that does not think ESPN is full of TEBOW Haters does not watch ESPN.

Everyone knows Boller sucks. Boller's sucked since he came into the league. JP and Kyle Boller are the same exact player, how Boller still has a job is baffling.

Palmer got a pass because there was no thought originally of him even playing in the game, the fact he got 5% of the reps they said, no preseason, no nothing. So you threw a guy who knew basically nothing of the offense and developed no chemistry of anyone on it.

There's why those two got blurbs.

Palmer was supposedly working out on his own all offseason. He is a VET & should know how to read defenses. I doubt anyone thought Boler would play that badly. Boler should have been cut after that game ended.

You would think both Palmer & Boler would have played better than they did. Probably the worst performance by two QB's on the same team ever in one game.

You would have thought Tebow threw 6 Ints with 2 pick 6's included & lost that game instead of 0 ints & winning the game to hear how he was criticized.

Same reason most people can't discuss social issues, religion, or politics. The inability to seperate emotion from logic.

People literally love Tebow, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, and on the other side some people literally hate him, again nothing wrong with that either if that's how you float your boat.

But when you fail to take that emotion out and look at things objectively, you compromise you ability to have a rationale discussion of the issue at hand.
