Comments on: Broncos G.M. takes issue with report that Tebow lacks support http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/02/25/broncos-g-m-calls-report-on-lack-of-tebow-support-false/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Wed, 22 May 2013 14:18:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: baboushka http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/02/25/broncos-g-m-calls-report-on-lack-of-tebow-support-false/#comment-975285 Fri, 25 Feb 2011 21:38:50 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=113700#comment-975285 A Hot One Off The Rumor Wire!!!!!!!!!!!
In a stunning move, Josh McDaniel convinced the Rams to Trade Sam Bradford and Stephen Jackson and a #1 pick in the upcoming draft to Denver for Tim Tebow, Lawrence Maroney, 2 #6 picks and future considerations.

In all seriousness, I don’t think Tim Tebow is nearly as bad as many folks seem to think. Including, apparently some in the Denver organization (Elway perhaps?). In fact, his record suggests greatness could be possible. All the kid does is find ways to win games with his brain, feet, arm and physical strength. I think Fox made the right call in naming Orton the starter “going into camp”. That creates competition and holds Orton and Tebow’s trade value going into the draft. Statements by the GM does the same thing. I for one think the best thing that could happen for Tim Tebow would be for him to be traded to Miami or Jacksonville. He’d start on either team and be a winner. No one can deny the guy is an impact player. He moves the WIN needle and he moves fans into seats on Sunday. I frankly do not understand the cold feet with him in Denver. His leadership intangibles made him a much better QB leader than Cutler for that team.

Poor Orton. He is the Rodney Dangerfield of NFL QBs.

Run at the first sign of the pocket collapsing and make plays. However, he doesn’t have Vick’s arm strength though.

It is all smoke screens and inflated value, and that’s about it. The biggest sign of support Orton and Tebow had was holding onto the OC. They’re both on the team unless someone offers enough to take them off Denver’s hands, and that’s it. Orton has an edge because he’s more experienced and is a traditional QB, which is what coach Fox has always used, but the whole coaching staff knows that you simply use the guy who can win games for you and strengthen the team. Talent-wise, Tebow and Orton are equally competitive right now with Tebow having more upside and Orton having experience. That’s all. We’re trying to fan the flames of a mostly inconsequential story at a time of year when nothing really exciting happens outside of Indy. Nuff said.

First he wants Tebow, then he doesn’t support him, then Tebow is the backup, and now he supports him again. What the Heck Denver, is this the best you can do?

That’s more than he’s worth, right now.

Better to have two QBs than none at all like here in TN.
VY for Tebow straight up? And I’m not even a fan of either..

The guy is a winner
And I believe he has what it takes to be a
Good qb.

As for Tebow, it was obvious that Denver’s vets played hard for him. It won’t take long for his ability and work ethic to win Fox over. That clown Lombardi can go pound sand. He’s bitter that Denver didn’t reach out to him when the team had a front office opening, pay no attention to his snide little reports.

If Denver doesn’t want him, I hope Miami jumps all over it and makes a trade.

What makes anyone think he can do anything besides run in the NFL?

Tebow got the start two games too late in many peoples eyes. Orton’s two games prior to Tebow Time were absolutely horrendous. Perhaps McD would still be the Broncos HC if he’d simply supported Tebow just a little bit more.

As for the current/future QB controversy: I hate to put a percentage on it, but let’s just say that the fanbase leans very steeply for Tebow. The infection is widespread and severe. Sure, many will accept Orton if the coaches believe he’s the best, but the leash will be short – very short. Most/many fans believe that this Orton starter talk is merely a ploy to keep his trade value as high as possible.

He worked there four years ago, and there are basically no holdovers on the football side from that regime.

And for as much as he praised McDaniels, he admitted not having any real contact with him–pretty sure he’s not exactly tuned in to what XandWay are thinking.

———————————————————–

Come on Gregg, seriously? That is such a bold statement! I almost guarantee you that another coach saw greatness in Tebow but no other one was willing to risk such an early pick on him. Maybe if you added that part to this you would have been point on.

Do you honestly believe anything a Head Coach or a GM says 2 months before the draft. C’mon, Rosenthal, you are better than that! Aren’t you?
