Tebow Time Is Over... For Now

If the Ravens are able to win today against the Houston Texans they will be heading north to face the New England Patriots. The Patriots laid the smack down to Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos last night as Tom Brady set a playoff record throwing for six touchdown passes. Honestly it could have been a lot worse too. Brady had five touchdowns at the half.
Denver's magical one game playoff win streak was ended with a thud as New England put an end to Tebow mania. The Broncos looked completely over matched as expected and Tom Brady looked like the chosen one in this game. New England's dynamic young tight end duo looked unstoppable as Rob Gronkowski had 10 receptions for 145 yards and three touchdowns and Aaron Hernandez lead the Patriots in rushing with five rushes for 61 yards. That's right rushes. Hernandez lined up at half back for the Pats and looked pretty good doing it as well.
On the other side of the ball Tim Tebow had nine completions on 26 attempts for 136 yards and no touchdowns. Not quite good enough to win in New England.
After the game Tebow talked about what a learning experience this all was for him and said he will use this to improve for next season. For now his season is over but it will be very interesting to see how things shake out in Denver this off-season. Will Mr. Tebow be lining up behind center next year in Denver? I guess we will all have to wait and see.

Trent Dilfer said the Broncos need to quit half-assing the spread offense.
He said if they’re going to stay with Tebow, they need to go ahead and commit fully to a Florida-style system. Tebow is never going to get them anywhere with this “neither fish nor fowl” approach, where they’re trying to mix in standard NFL stuff.
I think he’s right as far as that goes—Tebow would be better just doing what Tebow does—but does anyone really believe that will get them anywhere either? I don’t.
The man is a horrible passer; he looks like he’s trying to throw a bag of laundry. Last week against the Steelers was an anomaly. Last night, against a bad defense, was more like the real Tebow. He’s not NFL QB material; I just wonder how long it will take Denver to face that fact.

Wow, I have tried to figure out what him throwing the ball looks like all year, but could never put my finger on it. Then you come in here and nail it. Nice!

lol. Can you imagine how shitty Ike has to feel? To have the worst throwing QB in NFL history make you look bad two or three times in the same game?

It is true, but he may have been left because he thinks he can handle it. Either way, he just had a horrible game. I don’t think that’s an indication of the type of player he is. Everyone has games like that.
He still had a great year (except in int’s, but most Steeler fans have given up on the idea of him getting any)

He will be starter next year , no question about it
The Broncos really have no choice anyway. They won the division, won a home playoff game and he is extremely popular. That will get him the starting gig next year. What he does with it though I dunno, I have a feeling that the NFL defenses will be wise to it next year , but he has done enough to get a shot.

A) who is Chauncey Devega, and B) How is anything in Tebow’s career similar to anything in Eminem’s career?

It's pretty far-fetched.
I just thought it sounded funny.

I think the poll is mis-worded. The question really isn’t if Tebow will be their starter. Of course he will (assuming he’s not raptured between now and then). The real question is if he will be the QB by the middle or the end of the season. And I say no.

I personally think if they can find a half way decent QB that they won’t start him. That entire offense is completely tailored to Tebow. No other QB is going to be able to run that offense effectively, so if he were to go down or play really bad it will be difficult for another QB to step in and then the whole offense has to adjust drastically.

What I found so funny about him winning games is that they are stuck with Tebow next season. You can’t let a guy that got you to the playoffs sit on the sidelines, the fans just wouldn’t allow it over there unless he sucks for half a season. So they’ll be stuck with him to start the season and with all that time he played, defenses can better gameplan against him and you’ll see him suck for 6-7 games before he’s pulled for Quinn.
So basically, next year you can count out the Broncos in the AFC.

Just a reminder, we actually cut a guy who got us to (and won) the Superbowl, so nothing’s impossible.

If The Broncos
Make a play for Flynn, or one of the Texan’s QB’s, then I could see this. But it terms of potentially available non-rookie QB’s next year, the rest escape me. Maybe Hasselbeck if the Titans decide to go with their young gun. Would they try to swing a deal with Oakland for Jason Campbell?

What Vlad put is more of what I meant. Obviously if there is a better option then you do what you gotta do, but aside from openly trading or drafting a high QB they are sticking with Tebow. Even just from a financial standpoint, it makes sense to keep the guy that sells the most jerseys on the field until people quiet up about him.

They need talent in the worse way.

I think Tebow will eventually become a good quarterback he has that no quitting always welling to improve type attitude.
I think he will become a much better passer and he has proving that he can be a winner not only that but it seems like offense really rally around him.
