Poll

What will Tebow be the NFL equivalent of?

0 - Jason White or Tommie Frasier. Your grandkid will say "Tim who?"
1 (1.6%)
1 - Eric Crouch. Not an NFL QB. Not an NFL player. Barely a CFL QB
6 (9.8%)
2 -  Tee Martin or Adrian McPherson or something. Drafted as a backup, but still doesn't make it
2 (3.3%)
3 - Todd Collins or maybe Danny Weurfeulish Career backup
1 (1.6%)
4 - Chris Simms or Rex Grossman or something. Will tease and make some starts, and show some potential but that's about it.
5 (8.2%)
5 - Brady Quinn. Not your biggest problem on the team, but not really a solution either. Nobody knows what to do with him.
2 (3.3%)
6 - Trent Ewardsish. - Will play and give you a chance to win, but that's about it.
3 (4.9%)
7 - Trent Dilfer or possibly Chad Pennington. - Will do some winning at times. May get to one Pro Bowl, but not one of the best of his era
8 (13.1%)
8 - Matt Ryan/Joe Flacco or Matt Hasselbeck/Aaron Rogersish or something. Good from day 1 or waits his turn and does well. Good enough to do winning and give hope for big things.
4 (6.6%)
9 - Drew Brees or Phillip Rivers. A very good QB in his era.
2 (3.3%)
10 - Manning, Brady, Montanaish
3 (4.9%)
Not Applicable. - Michael Robinson, Julian Edelmen, Brad Smithish
5 (8.2%)
Not in these categories. More like John Beck or Patrick Ramsey. Just a wasted high pick most likely.
1 (1.6%)
Collosal Bust ala Cade McNown, Tim Couch, Ryan Leaf cause someone will draft him very high
3 (4.9%)
Doug Flutie. Break the rules. Change the game
15 (24.6%)

John Fox tried so hard to lose that game yesterday, but Tebow, and to a lesser extent the defense wouldn't let him.

Quote from Deion Sanders: John Elway has a problem cause this kid is gonna keep winning. He's bringing something to the field not on a stat sheet and that is leadership.

Quote from local radio: At this point doesn't the ownership have to say something to support him? Hasn't he earned that?

Quote from Michael Irvin: The Bible says "Use foolishness to confound the wise" and what we are seeing is foolishness and it is confounding us so called wise men.

Tom Jackson: He's getting better at passing and it is keeping the defense honest enough to open things for the running game.

Many people: Yeah he only hit 9 passes, but he's had only one interception and maybe one fumble and of those 9 passes one was for a TD, and he had 67 yards running, one of which was a big critical run in overtime. These players believe now. They believe they can keep it close and beat anyone. They want to play for him.

This is the part of the movie where there is a montage of football highlights and guys horsing around in the locker-room set to a cheesy light-rock anthem. Also, clips of owners and coaches disapproving and making what would look like nefarious plans with hand gestures in expensive meeting rooms.

Next, the montage stops mid-game, and there is a play on the goal-line. Tebow scores the game winning touchdown but in a vicious helicopter spin on the hit, he breaks lets say...an arm. Maybe his shoulder.

Then, we learn that the Broncos as a team are much stronger now than they were when this all started, and lil' Brady Quinn leads the Broncos in a hard fought low scoring game, where in the end they emerge victorious, but not until Tim Tebow give Brady some words of encouragement. They lose in the next round of the playoffs, but it doesn't matter cuz now they're here to stay.

Also optional are motivational Coach Taylor speeches, and Riggins doing something stupid while drunk.

I am VERY interested in seeing the Broncos play an elite defense, or even a team with an elite offense, which may demand higher points from the Broncos offense...if Tebow/Broncos win a game like that (which I don't think it will happen), then it will be very interesting to see what critics say.
I completely agree, but didn't we think he'd need a lot more than 16 points to beat the Chargers in San Diego?

That's a pretty good movie. You should be a script writer

The Chargers have now lost 6 straight and are reeling, and the Jets have not proved to be an elite team yet as they got crushed by the Pats and barely beat a struggling, injured Bills team at home yesterday

He is a guy you want on your team.  Just need to find him a position.


I still would not want him as my teams starting QB.

Perhaps you don't like winning?

Would you rather have Eric Decker as your #1 WR? Me neither. Would you rather have John Fox as your coach? Me neither.

Yes, I would want John Fox as my coach.


He has been to the Super Bowl with Jake Delhomme as his starting QB.

Now, he has completely changed the offense to give his team the best chance to win with Tebow as the QB. 


In both cases, his defense was really good. 


I want to see how good his team could be if he had a good NFL QB.

We need to start considering an appropriate wife for Tim Tebow so in 20 something years there can be a Super Tebow with an even greater hitch in his arm, who wins even more

Fox also went with Kyle Orton.

There are a lot of horrid QBs in this league and Tebow isn't one of them.  I'd rather not have a lot of QBs in this league as my starter.

Sanchez
McCoy
Young
Flacco
Cassel
Campbell
Ponder
Hasselbeck (in the future)
T Jackson
Grossman/Beck
Eli Manning
Rothlisburger but not for talent reasons
Gabbert for now
Locker for now
Henne
Cutler until further notice

Not every team can have Brady

I think its pretty clear that he has something special about him.  I think his teamates recognize that as well and play harder for him.

How many wins will it take before he gets his props?

I guess winning Super Bowls means little.

Tebow is the only QB in the (modern history of the) league that improves a defense by walking onto the field.
