Daily Links – Tim Tebow gets John Elway’s endorsement

We linked to the quote yesterday, but its significance may have been missed: John Elway gave Tim Tebow as high an endorsement as he could yesterday, a move that may seem surprising giving his tepid praise of the quarterback in the past.

“Tim Tebow’s not going anywhere,” Elway said. “I mean, he’s going to be a Bronco and we’re going to do everything we can and hopefully he’s that guy.”

My take: I’d rather not worry about it at all, especially during the season, and even more during a critical playoff push. Do you think Bill Belichick is going to talk about whether Tom Brady is the future of his franchise, no matter the circumstance? No. Let’s focus on Buffalo and let our offseason do the Tebow-commitment talking.
