Comments on: Elway gives Tebow his strongest endorsement yet

I believe Elway feels threatened if T-bow does better than he did. He seems to change his opinion as often as he changes his pants, and I don’t blame him for not wanting to get caught with those off.

What I see in Tim Tebow is that he is an outstanding athlete, a natural leader, a very good runner and a good game manager. As someone throwing the ball, I think he has a lot to learn, but that’s mechanics, and that can be worked on. He certainly has sufficient arm strength to go along with overall body conditioning.

He’s young, he has plenty of time to learn and grow, but he has done well within the system that the Broncos have used this year. If the Broncos can keep a strong running game and a solid defense to complement Tebow as he matures as a quarterback, then they will be fine. I am not sure I would rate him top ten in arm accuracy at the present time, but I would rate him top ten in leadership, which is tough to teach. Throwing mechanics can be taught, and I think he can learn, given the right instructor.

Tim Tebow makes for good entertainment, running like he does but sooner or later he’s going to get “the big hit”. If he can’t throw so well know, one has to think, what about when his running back skills are not an option either. I admire the man and give him credit for his achievements this season but to be winners one needs to look for the long haul.

FYI to all who just started watching NFL football in the past few months…This is Tebow’s second season stop saying he’s a rookie! In fact he started 3 games LAST year. As a comparison Tom Brady threw 3 passes his rookie season. Of course the next year the Pats were 11-3 with Brady and won the Superbowl riding a 9 game winning streak.

Footnote: In Kyle Orton’s first season with the bears he started fifteen games with a 10-5 record and went to the playoffs. At one point during the season the Bears had an 8 game winning streak. Orton had the worst QB ranking in the league for the year. He also started 6-0 as a Bronco. Does any of this sound familiar? Sometimes ‘all he does is win’ turns into ‘all he does is lose’

Anyone wonder what it would be like if Tebow had a top wideout or two?

Talk him up, then trade him to Jacksonville or Miami… The Broncos then have an inside track to Barkley, Keenum or RGIII, or maybe even Luck for that matter (assuming the Colts can’t dump Mannings salary)

Flacco complains about Tebow and Baltimore loses thanks to his picks. Finley complains about Tebow and the Packers go down thanks to his drops. Any other players want to say anything ?

How would it help if nfl defense’s start playing ” college style” defense – if i’m not mistaken – tebow played pretty well against “college” defense – didn’t he?

Does anyone realize this is Tim tebow’s rookie year, and he didn’t have full training camp? He has no super star wr and rb, and he still won games. Of course give the def alot of credit. If he went to jags, at least he would of had mjd. Call his winnings miracle, luck, or fluke, but you have to like what you see in Tim week after week.

Donks loose out and miss playoffs. The question will be was this a more epic collapse then 2007?

Answer: Probably not.

But Tebow will make it a little more enjoyable.

Did I hear Elway say that Tebow is our QB moving forward? I don’t think so. He was very careful and measured in in words. Keeping him around doesn’t mean he’s your guy.

Elway knows that after completely retooling the team to fit Tebow’s strengths, means the destruction of all conventional pieces he was trying to build. Tebow’s failure will set the franchise back a decade because of all the personnel and scheme changes necessary.

Even if he wins, the transition from Tebow back to a “normal offense” will take years after he’s gone.

I don’t think there is anyone who doubts that Tebow will work as hard as he can to be as good as he can, but he is just not cut out to be even a good mid-level NFL quarterback – he just doesn’t have it. A running around QB is someday going to get bashed and that’s all.

Elway is quoted as having said about him – “Do I think he’ll get there? Yeah I do.”

Q: Given the fact that they traded away Orton and the next QB is Brady Quinn – what else could he say?

If you wanna kiss the sky, better learn how to kneel. On your knees boy…

It’s all right, it’s all right, it’s all right. He’s the way, he turned the tide, he brought faith to Mile High…

It’s all right, it’s all right, it’s all right, he moves in mysterious ways. It’s all right, it’s all right, it’s all right, he makes my day, and he brings us alive.

Why the f— don’t some of you commenters know the tebowdamn difference between “to,” “too,” and “two”…?

Some of you are either nine years old or need to invest in some continuing ed.

Normally I would be real disrespectful to Tebow and anything Donkey/bronco.

I finally came to the realization that the Raiders are their own worst enemy. Until the Raiders stop beating themselves Im not going waste my time hating AFC west rivals.

Denver played the same trick with Orton earlier this year. “He’s our guy” while they actively shopped him. Elway is just priming the pump so Denver gets better offers for Tebow.

Pack your bags, Timmy. Youre coming home. Jaguars swap first round picks with Denver and offer up a second or third.

Denver picks Matt Barkley from USC and Elway has his pro-style QB to mold in his own image.

Everyone needs to wait and see before rushing to judgement on tebow. All the supporters need to calm down, as he still has lots of room for improvement, and all the haters need to watch what he has done lately, which is steadily improve his passing. The Broncos were giving the Patriots all they could handle until turnovers, that were not typical of the Broncos over the previous weeks, derailed them.

I see a lot of bitching and moaning in Bronco nation in the coming years, as NFL teams revert back to college defenses when they play the Broncos and swallow Tebow up. Two years under center and Tebow will be Brady Quinned.

“Willis McGahee, Demariyous Thomas, Eric Decker, Eddie Royal, Lance Ball, Daniel Fells, Donte Rosario. Go up to any casual football fan and ask them what team they play for! Come on. Before we all bash Tebow lets get him some weapons. Maybe a LaMichael James or a good TE. What did Drew Brees do early in his career with no weapons.”

This drives me nuts. Not to single you out but I’m tired of people saying it.

Tebow’s supporting cast is fine. More than fine, really

His line is playing like one of the best in football.

His WRs are fine. Thomas has always been a superb talent, just wasn’t healthy. Reason he was a first rounder. Decker’s a stud.

LaMichael James? They’ve already got Lance Ball who does exactly what James would do.

Speaking of Oregon backs, they’d do well to get Jeremiah Johnson more involved.

“Because, he’s done what we knew he could do..”

If you already knew Tebow could do what he’s done this season, why did it take 9 games in to publicly endorse him..?

It is absolutely impossible for me to believe that there isn’t universal support for the idea that Tim Tebow has earned at least some reasonable portion of the ten years and running which Michael Vick has been given to develop into a capable NFL quarterback. For my money, what Tebow has accomplished in less than a full season under center is nothing short of remarkable, and anyone who doubts this young man’s will to improve and master his craft is a fool!

Enough of Tebow, the guy sucks. Yeah he beat some bad teams but he can only win if his Defense plays lights out..
Broncos are going to lose against the Bills this week then they will lose against the Cheifs.
Raiders are winning the West.

Elway likes Tebow so much now he wants to get one of those little “t” necklaces that Tebow is so fond of wearing.

It must stand for “Tebow”

Anyone know where I can get one too?
