The bad news: Tim Tebow couldn’t have looked much worse in the first half of his first start this year.

The good news: He’s still facing the Dolphins and trails only 6-0.

The Broncos moved the ball on the ground, but Tebow’s inability to drop back and throw limited the offense. He too often pulled the ball down and ran before scanning the field. Tebow has 24 yards passing, and 44 rushing yards.

He had two passes that were nearly picked, and had a fumble. The Dolphins weren’t much better on offense. We counted four drops by their receivers. They couldn’t covert two trips to the red zone.

It’s University of Florida appreciation day in Miami, but we heard some “Tebow sucks” chants from the Dolphins crowd.

UPDATE: Tebow was sacked to start the second half. He’s taken four sacks. The Broncos punted after a three-and-out.
