wicky888 – no, at this level, you can either do it or you cant…there is no “teaching mechanics”……..Tebow just doesnt have it….

You can teach mechanics and how to read defenses. You can’t teach winning. That being said, its only a matter of time before NFL defense coordinators get wise to this (However I did think the Jets would be the first to do so, and they pretty much did for 55 minutes)

On another note, you cant throw pick sixes if A) you only throw 15 times a game and B) 90% of your passes dont come within 10 yards of anyone on the field

He is simply a poor-man’s Mike Vick…only slower and not nearly as talented

It will be interesting to see which of them finishes with more wins this year.
=====================================

Vince Young won his first 6 career starts. One season is a small sample size.

Its amazing how ridiculous broncos fans have become .

Orton was a winner before he came to the broncos with the Bears using the very same philosophy that Denver is suing to win now .

Just three months ago no one in Denver wanted to be bothered with that style of play .

Where are all the Tebow scores more points and converts on 3rd downs ?

Many people in fact nearly everyone outside of Denver said improve your non existent special teams and the 28+ ppg defense and you will win games .

But most said no it was all Ortons fault lol and now they do just that and say its because they changed Qbs .

In the last 5 games 13,10,23,10,15 is hat that defense has given up and they have had several special teams scores .

That fact is that with the scapegoat not playing anymore the fans and local media cant lock in and blame Orton for everything and now that spotlight is on everyone else . If they dont do there jobs they know tebow wont get blamed and so now they have to step up .

The defense is giving up 14 ppg the last 5 games the only time the Broncos have ever won anything even with Elway the defense has been good and yet Broncos fan still create the illusion that its about the QB.

This guy is an embarrassment to his team, the league, and anyone wearing his jersey for 56 minutes a game. The last 4 minutes are the only part of his games worth watching. What I don’t understand is why can’t the whole game be ‘TebowTime’? Then I could get more excited about the guy.

He is taking credit away from their defense, who has really been winning these games for them. A Tebow led offense could not keep up without the defense playing all out. Credit Denver’s defense for allowing Tebow to look decent for 4 minutes.

Not a fan of Tebow, but anytime Rex has the look of surprise buttsecks after a loss, I LOVE IT!!

Maybe Rex can teach Revis a thing or two about proper footwork.

The Jet’s may have a “proud” defense, but certainly not a good one.

I can’t believe people are really falling for Tebow. Have you actually watched him play? He is absolutely terrible.

Plus, Cromartie should be fined for his lack of effort on the TD run.

Right,.LOL..if this is the way the league wants to change too than….get me off.

He is simply a poor-man’s Mike Vick…only slower and not nearly as talented.

He is playing because the Broncos are desperate……anyone that thinks otherwise hasn’t a clue.

To those of you who insist that TT is not a “real nfl QB”. Yes he is. If you start in this league, you are a real nfl QB. Some are better than others. Also, Peyton Manning said in an interview that he improved his passing when he came into the league. It is possible to improve your accuracy. God knows Tim needs to.

Your can’t teach what Tim Tebow has.

He is changing the face of the NFL before our very eyes.

“Everyone needs to take a step back from the religion nonsense. If Tebow’s team wins one week, it’s proof of a higher power? What happens when he loses? It’s just football folks, nothing more. Any higher power out there that would focus on a game and not the multitudes of real problems in the world wouldn’t be worth worshiping if you ask me. Also, true faith means not feeling the need to find “proof” for your beliefs.”

It’s not about God watching out for you during a football game to make sure you don’t lose. It’s about how having faith can make you a stronger person. I’m sure Tebow doesn’t think that God is making him win these games, but he sure as hell thanks his faith for the strength to stay in it.

That game winning drive was incredible…and the way the Jets’ defense just folded under the pressure was hilarious. I’m not a Broncos fan, but I hate the Jets

Refs had nothing to do with it, you snivelers. NYJ crawled into the fetal position with 4 minutes left and GOT BEAT.

Joe Namath only won the Superbowl because of his mob connections. Now that’s a conspiracy theory!

To all of the Tebow detractors and all of the ex-player/broadcasters that thought he couldn’t make it in the NFL – Eat Sh*t.

I realize that a lot of people have criticized Tebow and his stats are rather pitiful. But, he does have a promising future. With his poor stats he is still 4-1 as a starter. That makes him something that is the most valuable commodity in the NFL. He is a WINNER! Imagine what will happen when he actually improves his skills and has a better supporting cast? Not a Broncos fan, but I do like this kid.

Tebow ran THROUGH D. Revis last night. THOUGH him.
(I’m doin the Tebow pose)lol
This guy will continue to win games. He can run on any team at will.

Why did the Jets go with an 8 man rush on the Tebow TD play? If they get to him (and he doesn’t fumble) they just make it a little longer FG. If they fail (as they did) then you have Tebow with blocking vs a DB and you see what happened. The Jets DC and HC should really be questioned on the all out blitz.

I remember when Steve Young was with Tampa – “he’s just an athlete lining up at QB”. Same with Flutie and Vick……………………

The truth is, Tebow is the worst QB in the league. Denver won because Sanchez is bad. Tebow is not a winner, Brady is a winner, Brees is a winner, Roethlisberger is a winner. Winning 4 games does not make you a winner. This will not last past this season, Denver will be looking to replace Tebow next season. Trust me. He’s a great “winning” college QB, but this is not college. I’m not a Tebow hater, I just think I’m one of the few people that understand this. Any who, GO LIONS!

The Denver win last night was GREAT! It is all about the UNDERDOG! Every flabby butted announcer was pointing out that Tebow is not a picture perfect QB, but at the end of the night John Elway was standing and applauding Tebow!

Let’s give coach Fox the attention he properly deserves! On most teams Tebow would have been playing back up Tight End. This is what a coach does. He takes what is given him and finds a way to win!

Merrill Hoge has got to be pulling his hair out about now, along with every other Tebow basher out there who has staked his reputation as a competent talent scout/analyzer on Tebow’s failure. I love it.

Tebow keeps going along like the Energizer bunny, while those who have predicted his demize are left wailing and pulling their hair out, like they’ve just pushed the”destroy Tebow” button, and realize their batteries are dead.

Not bad for “The worst starting QB in the history of the NFL”. I’m a Viking fan, and I’d take 5-5 over 2-7 any day. Hey, if the Vikings defeat Oakland on Sunday, guess who’s in first place in the AFC West?

(Broncos fan living in Redskin-land) I had to work last night, but kept updating my phone so I could see the score… I don’t get it. Are the analysts all wrong for saying he’s a crap QB since he’s 4-1? Is he really a crap QB and this is all just a bizarre fluke? Have we all gone insane?

4-1 this season for him and pushing the team towards what would be a bizarre playoff race… if he’s truly as awful as we keep hearing, it must suck to have a Pro Bowl QB like Rivers, I guess. I’m just baffled.

The NFL has become boring with its cookie cutter offenses.

It’s nice to see a new wrinkle.

Would that the players and coaches were paid by what they do and their wins rather than potential.

And watch the TD run. When you wrap your arm around the front of a defender trying to move up field, thats usually called holding in normal games.

There is two guys holding in the endzone, both just go not noticed by the refs.

This is stinking more and more.
—————————————–
And Michael Jordan pushed off..boo hoo…

You should focus your complaints on:
1) why were the Broncos even in FG range?
2) why did they blitz everyone on 3rd down?
3) why did they lose contain?
4) those jets being held made minimal efforts to shed their blocks
5) fact that Revis/Cromartie wanted none of Tim at that moment
6) jets’ record is the same as denver’s (!)
7) the end of the jets’ super bowl dynasty
