I'm pretty sure I came at least 3 times during the last drive.

Also during the Von Miller sack at the end.

but didn't get online soon enough to do it.

LOL @ the Jets. Rex Ryan deserved this one.

The Jets: Proving why the Giants are NY's favorite team on a yearly basis.

Listening to Tebow after the game is amazing. Anyone who hates this guy is literally a piece of shit. He's talking about how a hospital he helped open in the Philippines means more to him than playing football.

People hate on Tim Tebow for one simple reason,
he's good and he's not on their team.

Given time and a healthy career he'll get it done.

^^^Not actually true. I, at least, dislike him because he's insanely overrated and fellated by any broadcaster despite not being an effective passer or an especially good quarterback. I feel like both Ponder and Newton have a more intuitive grasp of the position as it's played in the NFL, and he's got a year on them.

Wait, what?

You're saying he's over-rated? I've watched every Bronco game this year including his starts. Not only is he not over-rated, but both the game commentators and analysts (ESPN, CBS, NBC, FOX, etc.) don't even think he's good enough to be starting (I have a lot of time to watch this shit nowadays). The only people that put him on a pedestal are Broncos fans but that's only because we're fucking sick of watching Orton play "ok".

Even then, he didn't bring that stuff on himself. He is literally the most humble professional athlete I've ever listened to speak.

He's not a great passer, I'll concede that. But people speak as if his intangibles are irrelevant and that he won't succeed purely because he's not a straight-out-of-a-catalog pocket passer. He commands the team so much better than Orton ever could. Every player on the team is playing so much harder knowing that Tebow will literally give every last joule of energy he can.

I think Tebow can become much better at the position. I'll admit it's hard for me to say anything good about Tebow even while I respect him as a person I still associate him with being Florida's quarter back (same reason I'm happy every time I see Rex Grossman fail). He hasn't developed his passing skills yet and I doubt he ever will be a passing quarterback like Brady or Manning but he does have a lot of intangibles and regardless of how he's done it his team is winning and he's looking better every week.

I have to agree Newton is having an amazing rookie season
and he's given the Panthers hope for the future, but Tebow
definitely has intangibles that make him special too.

My opinion of him doesn't make him over or underrated, it's
simply that his play at Florida, two National Championships
and a Heisman Trophy have created huge expectations. Fans
of the game everywhere seem to expect miracles everytime
he runs on the field and that's far from realistic.

In my mind he is a gifted athlete with a lot of heart and a
competitive spirit that will take him far. Given the time to
sort out the puzzle and build a team that compliments his
abilities,I have little doubt that Denver will eventually find
success with him under center.

Tebow is certainly no Peyton Manning or Drew Brees, but few
quarterbacks are and I don't see that as a problem. He's got
the physical ability coupled with the mental attitude to do
what it takes to get the job done.

Right now, though, that's pretty much what they're getting, and as long as the Broncos keep winning, the circus is only going to get bigger.

I want to see Tebow play some more upper-tier teams. We saw what happened vs. Detroit, but the offense has really shifted since then. There's a three-game stretch starting in Week 14 of some really tough games: vs. CHI, vs. NE, and @BUF. Once those games wrap up, we'll know who the real Tim Tebow is.

I agree that we should wait, but it's tough to judge a guy in a stretch like that in only his second season. It'll surely show his true colors this season, but to say that's the Tebow we'll have for the rest of his career is a bit of an extrapolation.

I'm still not convinced Fox wants him to do well.

I'm concerned if he can't get that accuracy better. For all the Mike Vick has done with his legs, he's still an incredibly volatile QB. He's going to win you some games, but also lose you some. I could easily envision Tebow morphing into that type of QB, but without all the talent that Vick has around him. And that's assuming Tebow get's his accuracy up.

I agree. Tebow just won't survive in the NFL with a run-option for long so he's going to have to get a bit more accurate. But knowing the kind of player Tebow is, he will work his fucking ass off to do that this off-season.

If worst comes to worst, I hope we are able to use him as sort of a change of tempo guy. He's definitely a type of player I want to stay with us because of what he brings.

But non-Broncos fans seem to freak out because he's inaccurate now. He's 4-1 though, which isn't bad for being the worst quarterback in the league.

I'm not sure how much of that is on Vick and how much is on the rest of his guys, but you have a top tier RB in McCoy, 2 great receivers (when healthy and focused) in Maclin and Jackson, an above average TE in Celek, and a good defense which should be able to force some turnovers and give you field position/extra possessions.

Compared with Tebow, who has an aging RB and a perennially hurt backup, his best WR traded, and young TE's with a defense that's probably league average. I see a better environment for the future in Philly than I do in Denver. Free agents take time to integrate into the system and the lockout didn't help. Unless Denver drafts better than it has the last couple seasons or can get some talent via trades, Tebow has a much more limited arsenal of weapons. Sooner or later, I think you're going to see teams go man coverage vs. Decker, Moore and Royal, stack 8 in the box, and dare Tebow to beat them deep.

Also, I'm listening to analysts and shit right now, and they're pretty much laughing at the fact that Decker is the number 1 receiver.

He's tied 3rd in TD receptions and this is with 5 games of Tebow's low pass attempts games...fucking idiots.
