Throughout, Tebow looked more lost than found. The Broncos were Bradysized and Gronked. Defensive end Shaun Ellis slammed Tebow to the grass. He suffered in comparison and in the deep freeze. Brady completed his first eight passes and was of overall for yards and a half dozen — yes, six — touchdowns. Tebow was 9-of for yards, no touchdown and no life. Occasionally lining up in the backfield, Hernandez led the Patriots in rushing with five carries for 61 yards. Let's not forget that it was widely—almost entirely—believed that Quinn was indeed the second string QB behind Orton, whether Fox made it public or not.
Instead of bringing in Quinn, or even hinting at pulling Tebow out of his new position, Fox and offensive coordinator Mike McCoy have redesigned the offense to play perfectly to the second-year quarterback's strengths. Fox is flexing his coaching genius and rubbing it in the face of the rest of the NFL by bringing a currently college-level QB into a college-style offense and getting professional-level wins.
If Tebowmaniacs like you are concerned because Fox referred to Tebow—and this is way out of context, Woody—as "Tebow or whoever," I think you may need to focus on some more pressing matters like Tebow's development as a passer. At the same time that this option offense has been running through its last two opponents, Tebow has been steadily increasing his abilities as an NFL-caliber passer. There's proof in Tebow's second completion of the game against the Chiefs on Sunday.
His mechanics seemed to smooth out for one throw. Alec Baldwin. Donald Trump. Green Bay Packers. Sign up for Daily Newsletters Manage Newsletters. Let's hope that the Bronco universe aren't the ones having nightmares because of it. Obviously, they are more mature and professional than the last "pro bowl" talent that we had in town I wish them all good luck, I hope that they all have terrific seasons, and continue to push each other to be the best NFL QB that they can be.
Thats my guess anyway Permanent link to this commentDan S AM on Sunday Aug 1 Reply to this comment Report Abuse ffdwd wrote:Im not sure I'd characterize Tebows short contract negotiations as an "unofficial hold-out" as Klis does starting his article. Guess it makes for more exciting print - but whats an unofficial hold-out anyway? The question is if Orton has a great season - does McD still try to replace him with Tebow? Permanent link to this commentNotanATM. That's what real 'teammates' do btw.
Tim can also be comfortable with either role. Go Broncs I really hope not. It would be kind of pointless to go on that way if, after last year, you bring in Quinn and draft Tebow, and then Orton goes out and brings more of the same. It would be like, "why did you bring in these other guys, if you're OK with this?
Great article, and it even comes with its own discussion! I would be so happy if things just suddenly clicked this year and he started kicking ass. I suspect he will have a contract year and move on to a TEAM that embraces him and will not have to follow a spoiled brat with a rocket arm.
I wish him well as he has shown more class than many "bronco fans" have. Mobile Post via Mobile. Well, right now it's crystal clear he is the number 1, only guy comfortable with the system Quinn is the number 2, Definately further ahead than Tebow and Tebow is the number 3.
Long ways to go From what I have seen. If Orton has a solid year this year and leads the team to a playoff win, things could possibly get interesting in the Denver offices. It wont get THAT interesting. I think the McDaniels feels that even if Orton has a good year, he will turn into a pumpkin at any moment, But, if anything, it will determine whether they keep Quinn or Orton.
The Broncos may get to know that page very well when the Tebowmania of the preseason, which was in full force Sunday, gives way to how the team plans to use Tim Tebow when the regular season begins. Right now, he is the team's No. If Tebow remains in that spot through the preseason, it puts the team in position to have to make some difficult decisions.
NFL teams must declare eight inactive players on game day. Most teams pick seven position players, who usually are not in uniform, and use the eighth spot on the inactive list for the No. That is in place largely to prevent teams from doing too much juggling at quarterback as part of their offensive scheme. In the regular season, the No. If the designated No. Once the designated No. He is not permitted to play special teams on his first play in the game, so if Tebow were the designated No.
The Broncos could activate all three of their quarterbacks on game day on the man roster. But that's almost unheard of, and the fear would be coming into a game too light in the offensive and defensive lines as well as on special teams, already a huge concern for coaches as they deal with the current man rule. The Broncos could make Tebow the No. That would push Brady Quinn, who right now is solidly at No.
The reasoning could be that if Quinn had to enter the game for the injured Orton before the fourth quarter, all it would do is prevent the Broncos from putting Tebow behind center. But how that would sit with a veteran player like Quinn remains to be seen, especially if he's the No. Broncos coach Josh McDaniels has repeatedly said Tebow is a "quarterback, period," but to use him as much as some Broncos fans would obviously like them to, the team has to make some difficult decisions.
Our offense is buffed this year. We should no by the halfway point Ortons future. I don't think that would necessarily be the case. If we went in and were one and done and we didn't make it the following year because we have we had a relatively inexperienced 2nd year quarterback running the offense I don't think that would put McDaniels on the hot seat. It would take complete collapse with Tebow at the helm for that happen imho.
He's made so ay changes since being hired though, I think at some point there has to be a progression and building of where the organization is at, instead of a constant tearing down.
If in 2 seasons after 3 seasons with Denver there is more tearing down, I think you have to ask, at what point is all this going to be worth it?
In his 5th season? That's too for an organization to be unstable, IMHO. In Tim Tebow buried a time capsule full of things that haven't happened yet. That's wasn't exactly what I was understanding from your previous post. I was understanding you to say if we make the playoffs this season and regress next season because we had inexperienced quarterback at the helm I don't think that would be necessarily problematic unless we had a complete collapse.
