I find it quite interesting that people are so offended by his mixing christianity and football, but seem tolarant of players mixing criminality and otherwise offensive behavior and speech. He is a good person, is that not wanted in the nfl?

A report from Michael Lombardi? The same Michael Lombardi that gave John Unitas 7 out of 10 in NFL Films to 100 list? That Michael Lombardi?

Forgive me for thinking he knows not his ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to football, and I have a hard time believing anything he reports.

This is as big a wasted high draft pick for Denver as DeMarcus Russell was for Oakland. Tebow is never going to be a pro-style QB in the NFL, no matter how much the religious right in this country want him to be. He should have never been drafted as high as he was, and Denver is regretting that decision as soon as I thought they would. What a waste of a good draft pick to have to go and spend another one, on the same position, this soon.

@scytherius …

Maybe his passion will translate into work? I can see you don’t know much about the kid other than not liking his religious beliefs. All he does is work. If Roethlisberger had spent that much time working during his first six years, nobody would be questioning his elite status now.

Who cares if Tebow rah-rahs about his beliefs? He doesn’t do it during the game like that idiot Ochocinco does rah-rahing about himself with his fake Hall of Fame jackets and hidden cell phones. It’s ridiculous that PFT can’t run a single article about this guy or Tony Dungy without people harping on their religion … while claiming all they do is harp on their religion

Like most, I’m convinced Tebow is journymen at best. And as for the “rah rah Christian crap”/ Please.

However, he should be given a chance as he does have the skills for that much. The one thing passion can translate to is to work hard to be better. Maybe he will. I just think it’s a year or two too soon to decide.

Please. Lombardi is a clueless hack, and he’s clearly carrying the water of his buddy McDaniels on this one.

Also, Brian Xanders is a complete stiff– Elway was forced to take him because he’s Joe Ellis’s crony, but one of John’s first statements about Xanders was that “he’d have nowhere to hide” now. Don’t be surprised when Tebow far outlasts Xanders in Denver.

I hope Tebow leaves Denver so I can cheer for him again.

As a Tide fan in Fla., I watched Tebow’s college career without being blinded by Tebow-mania. The guy is uber competitive and has fantastic leadership skills. But what does Elway think? He’s a Hall of Fame QB and should be able to gauge whether Tebow has the goods.

@goawayeverybody …

Are you kidding? You sound like something out of The Simpsons … or Leave It to Beaver. Why are you ridiculing the guy’s lifestyle choices? What’s it to you? And do you really think he’s the only Christian in the league? The Fellowship of Christian Athletes has a large NFL membership. In fact, Mike Smith said in an article last year that he looks for FCA qualities in the rookies and free agents he brings to the Falcons. FCA members often gather on the field after games to have group prayers. Why should that bother you? For Pete’s sake, grow up.

Word out of Denver is that their current Director of Football Operations likes draft prospect Blaine Gabbert, who reminds him of a young John Elway.

With Orton and Tebow on the team it would appear that this position is not one Denver needs to be concerned with as a priority. The defense was not able to compete with the good teams last year. Give these two guys a chance to play with a decent D and then judge them.

If this is true then denver does have some people with football brain running it. Tebow is not an NFL qb. Yes he won a game or 2 last year but the d coordinators didn’t really plan for him. We’ll see how he does this year

Nothing more nauseating than mixing religion and pro football. Seriously. And this guy does it in spades!

Time will tell, Timbo. I say nada. I say you take one more goal-line pro hit and you’ll go back to making more anti-abortion commercials.

As for Mr. Elway, you showed me on the field. Now you gotta show me everywhere else. Good luck to you, sir!

@broncostebow15 who says:
All of the Denver fans want Tebow to start at QB. If coaches are against that, then get rid of them now.
——————————————-
No they don’t and don’t assume you speak for an entire fan base. Most of us know Tebow is not the answer at QB unless your only goal is to sell his jersey to the religeous right.

Trade him to the Dolphins, they will do anything to try and sell tickets. Plus Henne is awful , so let someone else take a shot at trying stay ahead of the Bills and out of the basement in the AFC East.

so why just 2 months ago when Elway was introduced to the media did he say, he talked to all the staff and everyone said they would do the pick of Tebow the same way. sounds like someone is reaching for a story. I bet everything Elway tweets later falsifying this story.

Big question in Denver is which highly disrespected QB will start next season, Orton, Tebow, or Quinn?

By: goawayeverybody

goawayeverybody — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 19:09:00 +0000

Btw, before Josh McDaniels resigned and the Denver offense was thrown into total chaos, Kyle Orton had 20 touchdowns versus 6 interceptions. There is no justification to put Tebow before Orton at this point.

If they decide to draft a QB, who do they take? All the possibilities — Mallett, Newton, Gabbert, maybe Locker or Kaepernick — are uncertainties too. How does that improve the situation?

If I were the Broncos I’d try to upgrade the defense and running game before worrying about QB. Orton is under contract for 2011 so he can fill in for now.

I think it’s safe to say that there is an agenda behind this article (particularly that line), and it’s equally safe to believe that that agenda doesn’t include “promoting the truth” anywhere in its charter.

McD & Lombardi: aren’t they buddies?

Tebow may have the “passion” for the game. Problem is, he doesn’t have the passing ability to play at the NFL level.

Most people didn’t even think he’d be drafted, much less in the 1st round. He’ll continue his success in the NFL regardless of what the Broncos do with him. Wish he was on my team.

Tebow seems to be having much more success as a marketing tool than as a football player. Maybe he should focus on being a product pitchman as he might have a longer career.
