Poll: At What Point Does it Become Tebow Time?

I understand that Tebow has a different look or way of throwing the ball but I ask you, is that really bad?  I think that if they work on his strengths then maybe an opposing defence will have to play differently.  Throw them off pace.  Maybe surprise a few different types of set ups.  Players should be used to their best advantage.  Maybe it is not what you are used to, but that does not mean it is wrong.  Just different.  When the “West Coast Offence” began there were many that questioned it.  Change can be good. Be a leader not always follow.

You are so right Don.  Tebow deserves the chance to perform.  I too do not understand why the professional writers and sportscasters tear him up. 

Fox & Elway’s plan is play orton all season. He gives the Broncos the best chance to win the Andrew Luck sweepstakes. Fox, Elway, & Orton are all in on it. All Orton has to do is manage the game so the Broncos are in it till the 4th qrt than he turns the ball over. At the end of the season the Broncos will b 3-13, have the 1st pick in the draft, Tebow will be cut or traded, & Orton will get a 1yr extension with the team( cuz Luck needs to learn how 2 b a NFL QB from a vet). Fox & Elway know that if they give Tebow a chance he’ll give this team the much needed lift it hasnt had in over 10yrs. Tebow would get the Broncos to 6-10/ 7-9 and out of the running for Luck. Tebow would score TD’s in the Red Zone, help out a struggling O-line(cuz his mobility) and most of All give the Broncos Fans some Hope!With Tebow playing, he brings so much need energy to the team. Dream situation would be to start Tebow after the bye week in Miami. they win against Mia, come home with momentum and beat Det. then 2 away games at Oak n @KC, they take 1 of them games. that will have broncos at 4 wins so far. then they play NYJ, @ SD, & @ MIN  they’ll take 1 of those games. 5 wins. Next home against CHI, No way Tebow lets Cutler come back n beat him in Denver. 6 wins. last 3 games NE, @ BUF, & KC. they def beat KC n steal a game from BUF or NE who are looking ahead to a last game of the season against eachother. 8-8. but real life 6-10.

Worst time to be a Broncos Fan? I went to school on those mornings after they got killed in the Super Bowl by the Giants, ‘Skins and Niners and STILL stayed loyal. The amount of garbage I took on those days made me want to quit being a fan, but I never did, and I never will. Some of the idiotic comments and suggestions I’ve heard are dumb. Fan boycotts? Season ticket holders dropping their packages? That’s their choice, and we all have the right to voice our opinions, but nothing will ever make me stop being a fan of the Broncos.

The idiots who talk about being ready to walk away and not be fans anymore? Don’t let the screen door hit ya where the good Lord split ya. The rest of us- we might be unhappy, but we’re still fans. Go Broncos!!!

it is sad cause the broncos should have beaten the titans.  And they would have last year with daniels as the coach.  I love tebow and I am not saying he should or should not be the starter.  But at third and goal at the one he should have been in there leading the offence to victory.  This organization and coaching staff is a joke. 

At least mcdaniels used tebow in those situations last year.

Fox needs to go…..

Bronco fans let’s be honest for a minute our team is horrible at all we just fall victim to unusual circumstances. Rather it is a 63 yard field goal or a heart breaking tipped ball for an interception we just suffer from inevitable faith! Kyle Orton would be a beautiful back up QB on any team, he just isn’t a starting qb. He can keep you in games and sometimes pull one off, but so much as blow out teams (like we should have done the last two weeks) it’s not in his genetics. Our D is beautiful once we get Champ back in and take Cassius ” I cant cover a slug in salt” Vaughn off the field we will be set. They make plenty of stops our O just can’t convert, the score sunday should have been a blowout!

totally agree just start tebow and be done with it.

and the Broncos would have to trade every pick they own plus more to get a shot at Luck. 

The rest of the league and almost every talent evaluator says Tebow is not a starting NFL QB.  Only Bronco and Florida fans are in an uproar over him not starting.  Gotta love the definition of FANatic coming to the forefront here.

And that somehow means he is better?  Your knowledge of NFL football is clearly quite lacking if you think college comparisons = NFL success.

Tebow needs to start. anything is bettter then orton. i would rather see a fan out there then number 8 we have no chance in winning games with him. period

Start him now!  Having him behind center gives us the best chance of being able to draft Luck and end this Tebow nonsense.  Just because McD drafted him in the 1st round, when no one else would, doesn’t mean he’s a 1st round prospect or even remotely ready to start in the NFL.  Do you honestly believe that Elway & Company want to lose?  They’re putting our best players on the field every Sunday.  Tebow is not the best QB we have.

If the rumors of Tebow taking it easy in practice, and showing up on game day is true, then if he wants to play he needs to step it up in practice..even if it’s just for show.

When will I consider it Tebow time? After this season. The FO paid Orton a hefty roster bonus. Paying him that kind of money to keep the bench warm isn’t going to happen.

It may be a terrible analogy but say I have 2 cars..One I paid alot of money for but its only going to last for one year. The other car I paid less for, but will have it for 2 years. Common sense would say sell the car that has a year left, but I was unable to get rid of it. Now I am forced to either use it till it dies, or not use it and delay the inevitable.

are you saying that practice evaluation is the only evaluation that should count?  I’m pretty sure if Peyton Manning has a bad practice season he’s starting game 1 he’s healthy.  The argument, of course, is that Peyton Manning has earned the right to not have to compete for his job.  All I’m saying is that in this particular situation, Tebow earned the right to start the season over Orton based solely on the numbers regardless of how he practices. That being said, I think Tebow should have to compete for the position, but I think the spot should have been his to lose on the field, during real games.  Honestly, I don’t care about Tebow, I know the Broncos aren’t going to the playoffs and from a simple statistical standpoint with the only data points available (the 3 games he started as a professional, I don’t care what he did in college), Tim Tebow gives us a better chance to win than Orton or Quinn.  The numbers don’t lie.

Because Orton most likely will not be a Bronco next year I say just get the Tebow experiment over with. We will NOT be in the play-offs this year so what difference does it make. At least you will know if he can play or not. I’m of the thought that it is in-fact Tebow that would give us the best shot at the “Luck sweepstakes”. I’m not an Orton fan at all either but I am a Broncos fan and have to applaud them for at least trying to go with what they feel will give them the best shot at winning. I don’t care how bad they may want another guy (or whatever) I would never concede that Elway would EVER want to loose at anything.

With that said, lets just get the experiment over with so that they can move on as a team… I’m tired from work and my thoughts on this do drift a bit any way just in even writing this so I hope it makes sense…lol.

Because you said it perectly, I don’t have to say anything. Right on.

You’re right about college doesn’t equal NFL success; however, he also played pretty damn good in the last three games of the 2010 season.

Quit jacking to your Tebow poster and stick to the point dumbass

#1, all coaches say they know how to get the team to win.  That is their job.  If it was true, we’d never see any coaches fired now would we?

#2, paying fans are entitled to criticize.  If I buy a product and it sucks, I’m going to say something about it.  It doesn’t matter if it’s a radio or a football team.  Some people spend thousands of dollars in season tickets.  I’d expect that they’d like to see their team win more than it losses. 

Fox is old school and is offense is very vanilla.  It requires a better running game and that just isn’t going to happen for them.  There are teams even better at rushing who are struggling running the ball.  His offense requires a better pocket, and that isn’t going to happen overnight either.

Tebow adds the ability to improvise and make plays with his legs, but for now, Fox is still believing in his game plan to win.

2010:
Orton v Chargers, Orton losses 14-35
Tebow (no head coach) v Chargers, Tebow losses 28-33.

Tebow is not NFL typical QB, but that doesn’t mean he can’t win.

Yes, Orton is the best QB we have.  

The “non-existent logic” is actually located inside your head. 

I am beginning to question the hiring of John Fox. He keeps saying Orton is his man. Orton’s record is ? maybe 6-19 for the Broncos’s of late.  Is that the type of winner John Fox wants?  How pathetic, either we need to play Tebow, and see what he can do or trade him to another team. Stop this incessant discussion. John Fox supports a loser, it is no wonder he was let go from the Panthers. If ORTON had not thrown and interception, we would have had a shot at winning. IF ORTON had not fumbled the ball we would have had a shot at beating the Raiders.  Go figure, we have a quarterback that stinks and a coach that is sniffing the same glue.

All his life being the last 10 years.  He obviously was never a fan in the 60’s and 70’s.

By week 7 the rest of the league had McD’s offense figured out.  This wasn’t Orton’s fault.  It really is not Tebow’s fault either.  McD is nothing more than a turd polisher.
