Hugh B Tool Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Is Tebow an exciting player, leader and a real hard worker? Absolutely. That is the ONLY comparison he has to Elway. Elway has a better throwing motion left handed, no chit. Tebow will miss wide open targets, overthrow short routes, underthrow long routes and run too often. Resulting in injury. Anyone who thinks he has a tenth of the QB skills Elway had/has, needs to put down the crackpipe and seek quality counseling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thews40 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 A guy I know supplied Tebo with a male hooker while he was on a mission trip in the Phillipenes. Seriously, the dude is one sick puppy. I don't think this is funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTSuper7 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Well, I landed Tebow on the ww in my main local and am now rolling with a Ryan Fitzpatrick - Tim Tebow carousel. I actually have a feeling Tebow will become my starter sooner than later if only because he will vulture goalline TDs pretty much every game.

Anyone who thinks he has a tenth of the QB skills Elway had/has, needs to put down the crackpipe and seek quality counseling. This is not to compare Tebow to Elway, but what you wrote about Tebow above is almost exactly what was being said about Elway in his first years in DEN. It was absolutely brutal. We'll see. All I know is that with Orton this team was literally the worst football team in the NFL over the past 2 seasons running. The whole blame doesn't land in Orton's lap, but his struggles in the red zone, on 3rd downs, and in the 4th quarter were apparent even to moderately interested fans. Then to have management force the tripe down people's throats that Orton gave DEN the best chance to win is just too much, and treats fans as imbeciles when they can plainly see Orton fail in clutch situations game after game. I'm not ready to buy in that Tebow is a savior for this team. I want to see him get more 1st string work and see how he develops. I have seen him do some things that the Tebow detractors have emphatically stated that he simply cannot do. Now we need to see if he can do those things on a regular basis. If he doesn't show much, I'm perfectly willing to see DEN toss him aside and grab one of the young studs in the 2012 draft. But in order to see what Tebow is capable of, he's got to play.

I hope the hype around Tebow helps him pull the trigger. He's be gunning for my Finley all season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditkaless Wonders Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I would place Tebow's passing skills right in the range of Donovan McNabb's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. he has to play. One thing he will give all you Bronco fans is excitement and hope for improvement. He will make the whole team have a bit more hop in their step. Something that has been terribly missing for a few years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorcher Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I am wondering if Tebow will be like Newton: where everybody scoffs and then runs to the WW to get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolf Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I am wondering if Tebow will be like Newton: where everybody scoffs and then runs to the WW to get him. I will admit it...with Orton as my backup in one league, I did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawofmurphy Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I think Tebow lacks fundamentals and his decision making was terrible last week. I also think he is a tremendous athlete who can make plays when things break down. I don't think he's a great QB, but I am considering picking him up during waivers this week cause I think he can be an exciting player and fantasy contributor. Why is it either a - he sucks at life and will be competely worthless or b - he is the second coming of Jesus and everything he touches turns into touchdowns? There's so much gray area for him to occupy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco Billy Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 don't you think you're being too critical? He hadn't played since last season and entered in the middle of the game. There's some really irrational dislike of Tebow out there. I don't know if his openly Christian attitude offends some of our more tolerant brethren, or if a Tebow-lead Florida team stomped a mudhole in the backs of their alma mater a few years back, or that their girlfriend screams Tebow's name in the throws of ecstacy; but some of the vitriol for a kid who has worked damned hard to get where he is, is by all accounts a very decent human being, and has made a pretty good accounting for himself when he's finally given a chance in NFL games is way over the top.

No, his decision making WAS terrible. He was off on most throws. But that doesn't mean he won't improve with experience. I think he can develop into a quality QB...that's the whole point.

Bronco Billy Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Was it terrible for a guy who only had three games since entering the league or was he making *typical* mistakes for a young guy who hasn't played much? in context, I think he had a good game. You won't convince him. Tebow was sharing 2nd team snaps since before week 1 this season - meaning his repititions were extremely limited. Despite that, he was one play away from salvaging the game last Sunday, and he actually had an opportunity to make that play. In the face of all that, there's still the need by some to find context to tear him up. Like I said earlier, it's irrational. You won't be able to make any progress with these guys.

lawofmurphy Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) What? A quarterback either makes throws on time or he doesn't. There's no "he makes throws on time for a quarterback that hasn't had enough repetitions." A pass is either on time or late. End. Of. Story. Tebow was late on every throw. Now, I AGREE with you that it's not uncommon for a QB that hasn't had enough work. I agree that with enough experience he can fix those issues. And I agree that he showed plenty last week that would go towards him being a successful QB in the NFL. Why is this such a hard concept to grasp?

untateve Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 their girlfriend screams Tebow's name in the throws of ecstacy; I scream Tebow's name when I'm in the throws of ecstasy. My wife doesn't seem to mind that but she keeps complaining that I make her wear a Tebow mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bier Meister Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 not the scenario for success... one might even suggest that he's intentionally being set up to fail. or one might say he isn't adaptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
