Coming from a guy who lined up behind the guard instead of the center in his rookie year.

The Broncos will be doomed to a forever spinning hell run with Elway at the helm making comments like these. Tim Tebow had 3 starts, give him a break. His father didn’t create the Earth in 3 days…

“I don’t think Tim Tebow is a good NFL quarterback at this time,”
—————————————
I don’t see the problem with that statement. Most everyone but Miami fanboys agree.

Considering how raw Tebow was coming out of UF. He played some pretty good football during his 3 starts. Far from perfect, and his completion % needs to get closer to 60%, but is it any worse than any of the other more notable running QB’s in recent memory? The kid has the heart, the physical skills, the work ethic, and the character. Cut him some slack and let him learn, he’ll do just fine.

What a dunce. Elway, that is – Bolin too, now that I think about it. It’s time Pat just sold the team to someone with a bit (lot) more football smarts. It’s going to take a new owner to eventually straighten out this team. Don’t look for Denver to be in contention for years. Just another prime example of…..coloradostupid.

How does this guy go from being a player to being executive VP without being a head or assistant coach or director of player personnel, or GM, etc.? Are there other examples of a player that has had such a position given to him…and was successful?

One would think that Tebow and Elway…being on the same team so to speak…that Elway would be HOPING that Tebow works out to be an all-Pro…and if he doesn’t think that…why would he tip his hand?

He is apparently either a moron or an ideologue influenced by anti-Tebow sentiment. Either way, he’s clearly not qualified to be VP of an NFL team.

John Elway’s first three starts

http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/E/ElwaJo00/gamelog/1983/

And he was yanked in the first one , Steve DeBerg pulled out the win.

Tim Tebow’s first three starts were much better

Wow your reaching. The guy says he doesnt think hes a good qb now and that makes you jump to the conclusion that hes going to try to run him out of town.

If any coach, gm, owner, president of football operations thinks Tebow is a good QB right now they should just retire. The guy still has alot of work to do to be a good qb. That doesnt mean he wont be a good qb (hell half the starting qbs in the NFL arent good Qbs) or that they wouldnt want him. Thats just being honest and thats what Elway is doing.

I personally cant stand Elway theres something about him that drives me nuts but jumping to conclusions like that is even more annoying.

The key phrase is “At this time”

In other words, in Elway’s mind, they’ve got some work to do.

Wouldn’t most people say that about a quarterback with 3 starts under his belt?

I would not bet against Tebow in the long run, what he lacks in talent he makes up for with character and desire.

Mr. Red shoes….

It’s not like the Chiefs have been a model of consistency from the Carl Peterson Days.. you took advantage of an extremely weak schedule this year and advantage of the fact the the guy we let go just isn’t Head Coach material or he could have went better than 2-8 against a 3rd place schedule from last year. That said, the orange and blue implosion is very fun to watch. Those who are thinking Al hasn’t made his decision are crazy… Hue already knows he has the job, the Raiders just won’t announce it until Superbowl week.. it’s Al’s MO to take some of the spotlight off of the Superbowl teams and put it on the Raiders. That said, I don’t know that Hue is the answer.. but those of you that think that the Chiefs will do anything next year against a first place schedule will see what the Raiders showed you at home.. that the Chiefs played over their head all year, and in reality, they just aren’t a very good team.. even with Pioli leading them…

I don’t think John Elway is a good VP at this level at this time…2 words: teeth whitening

Interesting to see there are people capable of comprehending an out of context statement for what it is. If you read everything that Elway has said about Tebow in the last week, the statement is pretty clear “at this time”. Tebow has played a few games, of course he’s not a good quarterback AT THIS LEVEL – AT THIS TIME. How in hell does this get twisted into “not a fan”? I didn’t read it that way.
McD’s first move “COULD BE” to try to swing a trade for Tebow to Minnesota? Yeah, or it could be he finds out where the closest Arby’s is to the stadium or where he can get a good deal on snow tires or 1500 other things.
What’s the deal Mike? You seem to have a problem with Dr. Teeth that’s out of proportion to anything he’s done in his new gig so far.
Whether we can stand to gaze upon his toothy visage or not, Elway has been the prime face of Denver, hell, Colorado sports since the early 80′s. Bowlen knows it, the fans in that area know it and Elway knows it. If he chooses to take the prime office then a statement is being made: there’s a new sheriff in donkey town. Big deal. Happens all the time. He’s probably the most likely future owner of that team since it seems like Bowlen is losing his faculties.
BTW, Elway wasn’t a good quarterback ‘at this level’ after a few games either, so if he says Tebow isn’t a good NFL quarterback yet, he should know.
Mike, you’ve proven over the years you can do better.

Wow! Really John? Right off the bat your screwing up. Pretty much got to get rid of him now Right? That dog sure ain’t gonna hunt for ya now. Your private lessons with Mr. Millan have shown results right off the bat. Glad I’m a Steelers fan!!!!

Who the Hell does Elway think he is?? I can’t imagine Joe Montana coming to run the 49ers nor would I want him to. This just shows how desperate the broncos are to please their fans b/c they can’t do it on the field…The above posts are right on calling him matt millen…This will be fun watching Elway make things even worse for Denver…

Elway effed this up royally.

Not only does his “assessment” UNNECESSARILY create undesirable effects inside the locker — Elway has single-handedly gutted the Broncos of any leverage in moving Tebow. He has de-valued Tebow, and thus, de-valued what the donks will be able to get back in return.

Also, with Tebow one of the top-selling jerseys in the League — this further reinforces what a dumb ass salvo this was from Elway.

Moron.

Tim’s play only a couple of games and has shown some great leadership and talent. I’m sure there’s a team out there that would love to have him. Elway should stick to selling cars. He’s been out of the game too long to know what he’s talking about. Better yet, hook him back up with Shanahan, the most overrated coach in the league.

Great previous post. Elway loves tebow and I would love to see the context of the quote. Just like it wa previously stated elway has said tebow is a great player and we need to make him a great quaterback.
Meaning he want the challenge of developing him.

This is more proof this site has got something against elway or the broncos. Every article about elway has either blatantly stated he is not qualified and now they are twisting his words around to start controversy. It is sad as I used to likethe site when it wasn’t a biased.

On Wednesday Elway was quoted by PFT:

Elway lit up when talking about Tim Tebow, saying he was everything the team expected. Elway mentioned he could help with quarterbacks. “Tim Tebow is a darn good football player. What we’ve got to make him is a darn good quarterback.”

On Saturday Elway was quoted by PFT:

“I don’t think Tim Tebow is a good quarterback at this level at this time,” Elway told Peter King of NBC and Sports Illustrated.

I do not get how these statements conflict. Please explain…

Ps. In no way, what so ever am I trying to defend Elway. His statements are consistent, your spin is not.

As a Chiefs fan I am now torn in which disaster to watch. In the past the biggest train wreck in the AFC West was the Al Davis express. Now I guess he’ll have competition from Horseface Elway. Then again there’s always aj smith and mr personality Norv fighting with their premiere players for the majority of the season….
