I guess some people on here would prefer the Cam Newton results – huge numbers and a loss. If Tebow were the QB of my team and we won with him, I’d be thrilled.

There were six catchable throws and two off target throws today. This was an example of Denver playing to their strengths and “taking what the defense gives them” . I am confident Tebow is getting better, no doubt about that.

Seems like the Broncos coaches are putting him in a position to succeed by tailoring an offense that suits his style of play. He has shown that he wants to learn and readily admits his mistakes and seems to be improving each week. Each week they put in more plays that are not run from the shotgun and Tebow seems to be more comfortable every game. The lack of an offseason hurt him because we were starting to see what he was capable of at the end of last year. The guy had no opportunity to learn Fox’s system, terminology and so on. He did not get to work with his receivers until training camp. John Elway looked pretty sad in 1983 and into 1984 when the defense helped win a lot of the 13 games they won that season. It was not until 1985 that he came into his own. And that was with a relatively stable coaching situation in Denver. Very few QB’s come in and just pick up an offense right away. The conventional thinking was to give a QB 3-5 years as a backup before starting him. Now you have guys ready to start midway through their rookie season. And that is assuming that they are in a good system run by a head coach that is not on the verge of being fired. This is now the 3rd coach/system he has played under in as many years. Tebow failing to win or improve also reflects poorly on the coaching staff and their ability to hold down a job.

You need to view this season this season as transitional at best and a full scale rebuild at worst. Some of the young guys on defense are playing solid and the offensive line is looking better than it did in early September. I want to see where Denver finishes after the last game before passing judgement on Tim Tebow. I won’t be surprised if one third of the current roster is gone by this time next year.

As to the ever growing roster of “saviors” at QB in the college game that may or may not declare for the 2012 draft, the Tebow haters will back me up on this one: good in college doesn’t necessarily translate to good in the NFL. If you take Luck or anyone else touted as the next Elway or Marino, you get someone who may be a total bust. Not every QB of the 24 or so in the HOF was a first round pick. And if you watch game film of them, they were not technically perfect. But they all had the desire to win. And that can’t be coached. Tim Tebow is a football player and wants to win. Just because a lot of fans put him in a position that even he feels uncomfortable in, doesn’t mean he can’t or shouldn’t succeed in the NFL.

If Denver keeps winning they may not be even close to acquiring a pick that would allow them to pick a QB. Unless you want Kyle Orton to come in and go 32-50 for 325 yards with a TD and 3 INT’s along with a fumble on the potential game winning drive. He plays just well enough to lose you the game. So lets drive the season off the cliff with Kyle in there so that the stats look good on the way to a top 5 pick! Do you seriously think that the Irsay’s are going to let John Elway screw them a second time? And after the Shanahan track record of wheeling and dealing for some total busts, I doubt that Bowlen is going to let even Elway give away an entire draft for Andrew Luck or anyone else. It didn’t work for Ditka in New Orleans with Ricky Williams.

John Fox may just be the best coach EVER.

Also this isn’t the first time in recent memory that Denver has put the shackles on a QB. Remember when Orton was hurt and Chris Simms started? Pretty much the same start, but Simms got pulled in the 2nd quarter.

The Jets will destroy the Broncos on thursday.
==================================

You are probably correct. The Jets will most likely beat the Broncos. That being said, it will also spell the beginning of the end for the Jets.

Sanchez will be in need of some major medical care and the rest of the team will be so beaten up they won’t recover for three weeks if at all.

Way to go Mr. Fox !!! Smash-mouth football is back and I couldn’t be happier about it.

Oh, I take that back. Carson Palmer is 2-2, but that’s still not as good as 3 – 1.

Take that back, too. Palmer has only stared two games.

The Broncos have almost no talent on the offensive side of the ball, and Fox has always been a good defensive mind. they wont make the playoffs, but the fact that they have this many wins with that team says volumes about the job the coaching staff has done there.

Smashmouth NFL.

I can’t wait.

You don’t need a quarterback to beat the Chiefs.

I’m glad Denver fans want Tebow. As a Raiders fan, the longer this mess continues, the better. If Denver wins another game this year, I’ll be shocked. They play the Jets this coming Thursday. Good luck with that.”

Tebow is 3-1 since becoming the starter. Isn’t Carson Palmer 1-2?

Seriously, Orton didn’t do it…scoreboard. When has the media/fans ever complained about success before?
