    Poor Boomer, he's so jealous he stinks of it.

    Fact #1 – Orton is a WAY better QB then Tebow is right now (and that kills me to say it because I really dislike Orton's play making ability but it's true)

    Fact #2 – Tebow outplayed Orton last year considering the state of the franchise which was no red zone offense, no 3rd down offense, no fire in the belly.

    Before anyone says that is a homer statement, make sure you actually read what I wrote and don't take it out of context. 

    My point is that Tebow's intangibles in a dire situation made a huge difference on this team. IF and yes it is a big IF he can learn to read a defense (nothing I have heard or seen says he can't) and IF he can get his footwork right (this is the biggest issue IMO) then he could be a star in this league someday.

    Right now, Orton is rightfully our guy. Tebow needs another year to learn, practice, and stay out of the line of fire (if he was the starter right now, it would be 10x this bad).

    Hopefully next year, Tebow's qb'ing abilities begin to catch up to his intangibles and he can seriously compete for the starting job. To say he should be starting right now or should be cut right now is absolutely ludicrous.
