just being clear that I don't hate tebow as a person or even a player. I do not like ESPN or SportsCenter. They've gotten out of control. |

No idea what your point was. No idea why people are still talking about him. |

The guy picked last in gym class

When have I ever denied hating the amount of hype -- completely undeserved -- that he gets? When he fails I am happy because it shoves it in the media's face as well as those who thing his play is 'divinely inspired'. If you want to point fingers at someone 'hating on religion', then point them at someone who believes that God is interesting in Tim Tebow throwing a pigskin around the field. I have said that he is great guy off the field and have never said he hypes himself, yet that's how you want to peg anyone that doesn't care for his football ability and undeserved media love of said abilities. Whatever. |

More interestingly, I was pondering the quandary that John Elway is in right now. 'Damned if you do' I think that Dreach and Brum are right, i think the "success" (8-5 against marginal competition) that the Broncos had with Tim Tebow playing QB is largely due to a fad offense that defenses didn't seem to figure out until the last few weeks of the season. If Elway sticks with Tebow I think that experiment will eventually fail pretty hard core (see Ronnie Brown) and leave the Broncos SOL. 'Damed if you don't' If Elway decides to go in another direction the fans/media/etc. will jump down his throat. No matter what you say about Tebow, when he was QB the Broncos played much better. His style of play hasn't been completely shot down.. yet. If Elway even so much as thinks about looking another direction at QB until Tebow completely falls flat he's in a bad situation. So what does he do? I really don't know -- but the good thing is that he's John Fucking Elway and he basically owns Denver. He's a smart guy and just so happens to know the QB position so I'd trust him to make the right decision, but whatever it is will likely be met with a great deal of scrutiny either now (benches tebow, drafts another QB, trades for another QB, etc) or later (Tebow fails, there is no backup plan). What say you OHB? |

Elway most likely will bring in somebody -- either in draft or free agency -- that would be capable of at least competing for the spot right away. With Orton gone, they have to bring in another guy anyway. Their draft slot likely will not have them picking a QB in the first round because the mid-first round value pick isn't going to be for a QB....with Barkley and Landry Jones going back to college, you have the QBs who are first of the first round picks probably got cut in half. If they look to bring someone in who would back up Tebow but take over should things not go right, a guy like Jason Campbell would make sense. Should come pretty cheaply, is mobile enough that they wouldn't have to whole-heartedly change 100% of the offense, and a guy who IMO has been very underappreciated. He doesn't throw many picks and has an accurate enough arm. Edited by brumdog44, Jan 24 2012, 12:48 AM.

If you think I hate Tebow solely based on the hype he is getting, you are sorely mistaken. He went to Florida, I'm a big FSU football fan. |

His two national championships and Heisman were just blind luck. SEC defenses just aren't built to stop the run today. :sarcasm: Oh, and I'm sure Tebow thanks the guys around him on a regular basis. |

Elway needs to bring in Peyton Manning. Gotta get someone that is SO good that even the Tebow lovers wouldn't question why he's starting and not Tebow. |

I lived in the Bay Area for ten years, and all of my Mexican friends were Raiders fans. The only people that 9er's fans dislike are conservatives. |

Go Tebow!

That's actually a good idea. |

One interesting idea I heard is to trade him to Jacksonville. They desperately need to sell tickets, and Tebow in Florida is a giant sack of money. Gabbert sucked. Bad. Jacksonville would have to made a deal for Tebow if the Broncos leak the news out, right? Let all the heat fall on Elway. His rep in that town is untouchable anyways. He'd be able to brush it off fairly quickly. As long as they got a decent package out of Jacksonville, they'd be rid of Tebow and get more value from him than they'll get being trapped in a no-win case with him for another 5 years. |

Just answer this question.... Would you hate on Tebow if he was just another average Joe on the roster? |

Well in that case I think it's time to let it go man. Although he does still wear orange and blue. |
