Tim Tebow: Denver Broncos select QB in first round

Tebow was a terrible pick. He could have gotten a way hotter cheerleader for way less money. We need play makers not a qb who's stats are inflated by their teams system. Name the last good florida qb.

Tebow had 21 TD passes, and 14 rushing TDs last year. In 2007 he had and incredible 32 passing TDs, and 23 rushing TDs. Not bad and definitely a good gamble I'd say! He'll sit the bench for a year or two. By then Demaryius Thomas will start to get good and be ready for Tebow. If one of our 1st rounders pains out, I'll be happy, and I think one of them will. Definitely a good gamble on both in my opinion.

We started the day with 1 1st, 2 2nd, 1 3rd, 1 4th, 1 5th, and 1 6th.

We ended the day with 2 1st, 1 2nd, 2 3rd, 1 5th, and 1 6th.

Obviously moved up and down the board a bunch, but essentially traded a 2nd and a 4th for a 1st and a 3rd. That's not too shabby.

I love the trades to move down and stockpile picks… then McD pulled this move.

We have major holes that need to be filled… tebow was a luxury pick that we cant afford

In his career he had very similar stats to Peyton Manning. I'm not even going to attempt to insult Peyton with a comparison, just a little stat that shows he wasn't nearly as bad a passer as some make him out to be.

Urban Meyers system is an inflating system though that requires a transition period- see: Smith, Alex. I actually think Tebow's better than Smith and Alex was the number 1 pick(and it was the year everyone said Matt Leinart shoulda left and been number 1, lolz). I expect an Orton or Quinn trade tomorrow, and for Tebow to compete for spot immediatly, McD can't afford to waste time unfortunately.

Tebow's arm also isn't bad, and probably comparable to Brandstater's or even slightly better, it's his mechanics that are a mess. There's been some GREAT Qb's with horrible mechanics in the past btw…see: Tankerton, Fran. If he can continue to work on his new motion, as well as incorporate what McD has to offer shouldn't he be fine? Remember that Clausen chose Tebows skills over Clausen's, McCoy's, Pike's, etc. McDaniels comes from a place where they don't take QBs early, so he either is going against that or is in love with this kid. Given he's betting his job on it, I hope its the latter.

Another thought, say we trade Orton for a pick next year, and let Tebow and Quinn battle it out in camp/preseason. Would that not be the most competitive QB competition for however many years we had the two ever to go down? You have Tebow who won over the media nation with his determination, leadership, and hard work, and you have Quinn who's a workout beast and is sure to be giving it his all over the next 3 years before his time runs out as a potential starter. With those two guys pushing eachother and setting the pace of camp and preseason you have to think it'll rub off on the rest of the team. Those two will be the most inshape players on the team possibly, which is kinda weird to say about QBs.

Demaryius Thomas will be very similar to Vince Jackson I think btw, not quiet as monstrous as B-Marsh, but not as much of a headache and still a damn good player. I don't think he'll be much as a rookie though, he has a LOT to learn about route running, and part of why Eddie was so limited last year was because McD only let him run certain routes because he wasn't good enough at others in his eyes. DT could see the same thing early on but I fully expect him to develop into an above average to 1-2 time PB X wideout. He should fully be able to replace Marshall within 3 years, not production wise entirely, but better for the goal this team is seeking to accomplish.

I have to say I've really liked the high character/hard worker stance Denver is taking. Old guys that have never won before love that attitude(see Dawkins) and we're only reaffirming that stance that McD has taken since day 1 without backing down from criticism. Today we added two more players that will help us reach that goal of becoming a TEAM. I'm sure most people here have seen “Miracle” or a doc about the 1980 US Hockey team. A team full of lower talent that wanted it more, and became a true team through work ethic, leadership, intelligence, etc. To all those saying we're giving up all our talent, I say maybe, maybe a little(thought thats pretty debatable), but its worth it if we can replace them with guys near there level and better attitudes/character/leadership/etc. I think we can say that we did that today with 2 positions whether you think who we took was the right pick or not, there's really no denying it.

Not sold on Tebow just yet, but he seems to be a great guy and has the motivation to prove people wrong. That being said I was watching the Post -Draft coverage on NFLN and I concluded that Jaime Dukes is the biggest douche bag on the planet. Though many of you may have know this before I did.

strange how people dont say you are entitled to your view of things when you say what you belive and stand for, when this is an argument you here alot when peoble critisise tebows views

Yeah because he did SO much better in the 10 years after Elway retired lol.

what did he say?

Well put, e

Tebow is perhaps the best college football player in some time. When I first saw him four years ago, I told my wife that he had “Elway like” qualities. Lets all give him a few years to grow, and maybe, just maybe… we'll wonder what the Hell we've been doing with Orton???!!! Really folks, doesn't matter what religion you are, doesn't matter what you think of UF, or the price of rice in China. This guy is a winner. All reports say his quarterback “makeover” during the winter has been fantastic. I for one have not been this excited over a draft pick since “The Chosen One” graced our presence. May his future be long and prosperous!!

I dont think tebow has in mind to coexist with anyone saying how much they dont belive in god.

and dont get people started on being afraid of religiuse people.

couse they are really dangeres.

so everyone out there, be afraid, be very afraid…

Really like this! Thomas is explosive, a little raw but coaching can bring him to a 1st round level for sure…a little worried about Tebow, especially in the first round, and considering we gave up quite a bit (2,3,4) in draft picks…that being said, he IS a winner, which is underrated. Winning can't be taught, throwing the ball right can. And remember we still have another 2nd rounder and two 3rds so we didnt mortgage our future on him…

IT NOT A WASTE HE WILL BE THE BEST QB SINCE JOHN ELWAY. NOT THE SAME , BUT GOOD!!!!!! YOU GUYS WILL SEE. GIVE HIM A CHANCE.

We have 3 picks in the 2nd and 3rd. Say we go OG, C, ILB in some fashion with say Walton and Spikes as two of those picks, you guys shut up about the needs and holes? NT and DE are luxury picks right now and Green/Williams(with Fields rotating)/Bannan has atleast 2-3 years, if we address some guys in next years draft at those spots its fine. The key to the draft is to fill needs at the right spots and take the talent when you see it, even if it doesn't fit in right away. Lets see how we play our next 3 picks, 3 guys whom could feasibly all contribute next year if we draft for need. There's still a lot of talent left at center and guard. Last year Duke Robinson(rumored to be a can't miss great guard) fell hard, and will still likely be a pretty good player in this league. Look at a draft from 5-6 years back and look at the 2nd round on since thats what we have left and see if you find as many gems as there were in the first.

What does Tim Tebow bring to Denver?? The heart of a lion…incredible upside….a red zone threat like we have never had…impeccable character…what's not to love about that!!!

Religious people can be dangerous. Don't mistake religous people with people that have faith and a relationship with God. Religous is following traditions. Catholics are religous, true belivers that have faith in Christ are not. Tim Tebow, and most of us are not dangerous.

Do people us “God told me to do it” on ocasion, yes but most of us want to love our nieghbor, not shoot the local abortionist. Go talk to a local pastor that actually teaches the bible, and yes there are those that never open a bible in the pulpit, don't talk to them, and see what they have to say rather then judging the largest religion in the world based a few psycopaths that use God as an excuse.

you’re a douche

WTF??? Am I the only one that seriously missed that?

a republican man is not dangeres either by himself, but republicans as a group have proven that they are, and a republic office in the whitehouse was dangeres as well. as a group they get dangeres.

and tim tebow is dangeres, in the way he effects people in the wrong way, such as making it popular to be “pro-life”, and thinking homosexuality can be cured and that homosexuality is something wrong.

and now you will probobly say its his freedom of speach to say what i want.

and im using mine, and im saying religion is dangeres.

McDaniels is nuts. He'll be gone in a year or two.

You're the only retard in the world that thinks tebow has a weak arm…I hope you die choking on the sack of the bag of dicks you inhaled while typing this garbage. If you hate Tebow, it's not because of arm strength.

Also to say Tebow struggled taking snaps while winning a 2 national championships and a heisman along the way, just is pure irrational.

Weren't you sitting on the porch pickin' on a banjo in the movie “Deliverance”?

He threw some TD's in college? Wow. So did David Klingler.

Good, we don't need fans like you. Give your tickets to someone who will appreciate them.
