Chargers win… but the Tim Tebow era has begun

I’m in Florida and was waiting for Tebow to be the starting quarterback before I purchased NFL game plan. Bet I’m not the only one.

Not a Tebow fan but I gotta admit it felt a lot better with him in the game. Hope I’m wrong about him.

me too

Our defense SUCKS btw

hello?

More than enough games remaining to judge our QB future…

 Considering they were on the field for almost the whole game yet still held the Chagers to a million field goals and forced a few turnovers, I thought they actually played pretty well.

Glad you’ve seen the light. Finally there some hope for Denver Bronco Fans.

I don’t think that is a fair statement.  Orton could not get a 1st down in the first half and it put the defense on the field way too much.  They did not play stellar by any means, but I thought they played tough and gave me hope for the rest of the season.

Did you see Tebow on the sidelines in the 4th qtr?  He was actually excited and urging the defense on instead of sitting on his ass like Orton.   Orton has  zero passion for the game or this team.  

Tebow makes things happen by extending the play.  The accuracy will come as he gets more comfortable. This guy reminds me of a young Elway in so many ways! 

Agree with you Whidbey, the next two weeks are going to be his mini-camp and training camp rolled into one.

Don’t know how all this will turn out, but at least we will know what we have by the end of the year.  Which is a very good thing. 

Good we can finally get all this Tebow nonsense over with.  That way when we draft a QB in the upcoming draft no one will be able to play the Tebow Card.

Nope.  2012…and 2011 is gonna be fun now, as well/

It’s so gonna suck to be you.

Orton is great?  I sure hope that was a typo !   lol

Man that was fun!!  We have a Quarterback.

I rode out to Lafayette today to watch my final game of the seaosn with my dad, Until Tebow started) and was sp pissed by Kyle’s Orton lame arse performance, and was like, if Fox can’t put Tebow in after that, he needs to be gone.  When Tebow came in, we were ecstatic.  Yes he looked rusty the first few 3 and outs, but man once he caught his rhythm, it was amazing.  Even Orton got off the bench to clap when Tebow ran it in…and yes, Tebow electrifies the crowd, the sideline, even the defense.  The defense should have never been on the field with all three and outs and even scored once to show the frickin offense how to get it done.  # points in the first half and your defense is wrecked, but they fought to the bitter end and gave us a chance for Tebow Time!  The rest of the season is going to be exhilarating now.  I might even buy a jersey for Christmas…but it won’t be Tebow..it will be Von Miller #58…5 sacks already wow!  Enjoy the dust Rivers, cause you are about to get friendly with the ground next game (and this game)…Wow!  It feels like a new season is starting…and anything can happen despite being 1-4 already…we can still make the playoffs folks if the defense stays healthy..DJ and Champ looked a little rusty, but I think they shook it off.  We need Carter to step up for Dawkins on 3rd downs…this fairweather fan has returned!

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT Haven’t been this excited about football since Elway.

Surely John Fox wouldn’t be mentally deficient enough to put Orton back in against Miami??? Nah- didn’t think so. He enjoys his job contract too much.

I used to coach but am not an expert on QB mechanics by any means, so I can’t see the intricate details that scouts do when they evaluate a QB for the pros. But HOLY CRAP- there was some smoke on that last ball Tebow threw while he was OFF BALANCE.

The only thing I worry about is that Tebow will eventually get injured by some Ray Lewis type who will lay a hit on him like Joe Mays dealt out in the first half today. Man, he planted that guy.

Last thing: defense looks lots better this year than last, but they’re still giving up too damn many big runs and catches. Once they draft a few more defensive mainstays, Dennis Allen will have a multi-year contract in his pocket. I’m jacked, but now i have to wait for TWO damn weeks to see it again!!! GO BRONCOS!!!!!!! 

Chuck Norris must be smiling somewhere as he puts on his Tebow pajamas tonight.

P.S.: “Ryan” please don’t post anymore about Tebow and his passing ability. The kid has had no real live game snaps in about 10 months. Yes, his motion and wind up are unconventional but everything about this kid is different. Let him play some games at this level and as things slow down he will make plays with both his feet and his arm. Have FAITH “Ryan”.

I was at this game and the difference of play by Orton and Tebow was horribly obvious from section 100. In the first half, Orton simply didn’t care for picking up the hard yardage by himself. He,d roll out of the pocket from a little pressure and when no one was open he,d just stand there. There was a field of green in front of him on some of those plays. That’s what lost him hid job. When Tebow took the field, if his first 2 options were’t there, he took off or extended the play. And because they didn’t know if he was going to run or not, the the chargers defense started to let up on there coverage. He slowly became a double threat and it almost cost the chargers the game.

If the broncos focus their playbook on making Tebow a double threat this team will become serious. Bootleg, option, run game. And when domarius Thomas comes back along with Eddie royal Tebow could have a lot of great options to help him. And the defense gave up points because they were on they field the whole first quarter. Or ton’s lack of testicles caused a lot of three and outs causing the defense to become over worked. But they made plays: fumbles, INT’s, sacks, and in the fourth quarter with the game on the line. At one point they were a dropped Brandon Lloyd pass in the end zone away from overtime and at another the were a play away from scoring the touchdown that would win the game, all in one half, because of Tim Tebow. He needs to start, and the broncos need to formulate their game plan around what Tebow can do, especially in the redone. If they do this fast enough and execute, they could still possibly make the playoffs.

I’m with you guys on being excited for Tebow but not for the same reasons. Listen, Tebow seems like an awesome guy, I have nothing against him but he is a joke as a NFL QB. With Orton in, the better QB, we might accidentally win a few games, like that stupid ass win against Cincy, which with cost us the chance to get Luck. Now with Tebow in, our chances of winning games has been cut in half, if not more. I dont understand the love for Tebow, nothing I’ve seen from him has given me any reason to think he’ll ever even be a competent backup, let alone a starter that can lead you to a Super Bowl. He reminds me of a QB being controlled by an 11 year old kid playing Madden who just runs around aimlessly in the backfield before launching an awful pass but a couple times a game he’ll get luckly and have an awesome play. We NEED Luck!!! My biggest fear is that we win against Miami, a game I will be attending since I live in this godawful place, and maybe another and end up picking 4th or 5th and not addressing out QB situation and being stuck with Tebow for another season before we completely bottom out but then don’t have a once in a generation Luck type QB to draft. 1-15! 1-15! WE WANT LUCK!!! WE WANT LUCK!!!

wow. What part of the first four games gave you this impression? What have you seen from Orton that made you think for even 3 minutes this season that he is nothing but a decent back up? I agree the Tebow mania is out of hand but the guy out played orton yesterday. It was the most comparable situation we have to date. Both qb’s playing… against the same defense. Tebow puts a lot of pressure on defenses. He extends plays that eventually the defense can’t continue to cover that long ,,, “or he gets lucky” every now and then as you put it.

If you didn’t find watching the game today fun/exciting… you must either hate football or be Orton’s brother, in which case, I’m sorry to tell you this but your brother just lost his job.

Do us all a favor and stop cheering for the broncos. 

So does Kyle Orton and he has played 6 years+.  At least give Tebow a few games

First of all, who the f#%k are you to tell me who to root for? Ive been a Broncos fan for as long as I can remember. How does not being excited about watching a 1-4 (1-3 at the time) with a bad struggle to take over a game that the other team was trying to give away? Sorry, but that’s not good enough! Championships matter, nothing else! Tebow will never ever come close to winning a ring as s starter and that’s all that matters. I couldn’t care less about a regular season win against the Chargers if the end result is a 4-12 record. Everyone is so crazy about Tebow, I don’t understand it. I’ve never seen so many people be wrong about something since Obama was elected. Luckily Tebow can’t destroy our country though.

They still gave up long drives and took a couple of dumb penalties.

Tebow is the greatest spinback in the history of the single-wing.
