Regarding the game, I think Pittsburgh will play smart defensively and get a couple scoring opportunities from Tebow trying to be who he isn’t; and I see Benny Roe getting the ball out quick to Ike Redman and Heath Miller.

Tebow took a 1-4 team to the playoffs. He went 7-4 not 8-8, so NO, he did not do exactly what Cutler and Orton did. Tebow the Lone Ranger? Well how many of those 7 wins were 4th quarter comebacks? 6? Um Kyle Orton last year had a chance for 6 4th quarter comebacks and won 1! WOW! Oh and lost the 3, 4th quarter comebacks he had this year!

@cowboysblowgoats

That’s my point! We had 2 “passers” breaking records and where did that get us. Kyle Orton was flinging the ball all over the field and would wilt under pressure and led us to a dominating 3 wins out of 13 last season. What was I thinking? You want to talk about stats? Why did you leave out Touchdown to int. ratio, rushing yards, rushing TD’s and why on earth would you use the ESPN Total QBR. What’s next the Wunderlic score?

I’m sorry but Tebow did exactly what Cutler and Orton did. Orton and McDaniels won the first six games of the season and lost the last three to finish 8-8. Cutler and Shanahan lost the last three games of the season to finish 8-8 and Shanahan was fired for that. Now Tebow does the same and he’s the Lone Ranger?? So Tebow MUST be responsible for the mediocrity of the AFC West.

I’m a Bronco fan but I’m not blind.

Tebow is dead last in the NFL in completion percentage and dead last in passing yards per game.

He is 28th in total QB rating.

He pretty much sucks worse than any other QB when it comes to passing.

Good luck in the long run with QB who can’t pass at the NFL level.

What Tebow needs is for Fox to come with a better game plan for the Steelers. As expected, teams have made adjustments to contain the kid. Fox needs to open the playbook, if there is one, get creative on Tebow touches. He can’t stand in the pocket.

If Bradford took the Rams to the playoffs in his second year he would be anointed the future of the league.

however, if Broncos are dumb enough to throw the ball a lot with Tebow this game is over. Tebow, who is a pretty good football player and can be successful, can’t throw accurately.

maybe Elway wants him to blow up. then he can say, ‘i gave him a chance and he lost the playoff game for us.’

We all know his tenure at qb is about to come to and end, so all this advice about being more daring, confident, etc. is wasted. People have to understand that he IS doing the best he can and it’s not nearly enough.

Can’t wait for James Harrison to lay him out and “Tebow” over his no talent body.

Congrats. In a sea of crazy comments, yours actually stood out.

Love my Steelers, and Harrison may lay Tebow out–if he can catch him. But Tebow’s no Colt McCoy. Like Ben, he’ll get up, muddy and bloody, and keep going. I watched my Crimson Tide defense wipe the floor with him but he never quit. And Tebow has a lot of talent–it just doesn’t include making multiple reads of NFL defenses and having a quick release in his throwing motion.

The guy is a heckuva football player, but he lacks some of the fundamental skills needed for a modern-day NFL quarterback. If he’d been drafted in the third or fourth round as he should have been and given proper time to develop, he could have learned to read a defense and maybe even adjusted his throwing motion. But no one will ever teach more skilled quarterbacks to have his size, strength, and heart.

Tebow gets too much publicity for the wrong reasons, and I want my Steelers to end his season. But you’ve got to respect a guy who leaves it all on the field the way he does.

Yep. And not only were the Minnesota Vikings a 2-14 team, but when Tebow played them, the Vikings were missing 3 starters in the secondary. Kind of puts those 210 yards into context.

The Packers put Aaron Rodgers on the bench because they had to correct his delivery and mechanics, and he also had to learn their offense, which was very different from his offense at Cal. The Broncos should have been prepared to do the same, or not have drafted Tebow in the first place.

So, if Fox thought that he could win with Tebow throwing the ball, he’d do it. You think that Fox WANTED to lose 3 games in a row and back into the playoffs at 8-3, including a 7-3 loss to the guy that he cut and allowed to go to a division rival?

If it were anyone else other than Tebow, no one would claim that the guy can play. I am not saying that Tebow won’t EVER be able to play, but no one would claim that Tebow should be playing NOW. The best thing for Tebow would have been to sit on the bench early in his career like Aaron Rodgers, Steve Young, Brad Johnson, Mark Rypien and a bunch of other Super Bowl winning QBs did. Either that or start out in another league like Warren Moon, Joe Theismann, Jim Kelly, Steve Young (again) and Kurt Warner did.

Just keep in mind the 2007 Wild Card game in which the Steelers got beat at home by the Jags. This Denver team bears some similarities to Jacksonville that year, and Pittsburgh is fighting off injuries. Ryan Clark being out is huge, as it completely changes how Polamalu plays.

You are the boss Elway. Do what is best for your team.

If Belichick were up to the challenge, it would be a good move for Denver to offer Tebow for Mallett. He’s a kid much in the opposite mold of Tebow. Sketchy decisions off the field (allegedly) but he has the arm that is needed to compete in the NFL. Do this or offer every dollar you can to Peyton when he is released.
