Tebow Time!!!

1. Drew,

   The Broncos looked anemic in the first half. Watching the game from the stands, the first half Broncos’ offense just did not seem to care. Even the Tebow run for 2 yards was ho-hum. Every player was going through the motions just as if they were pre-game warm-ups.

   The second half, something special happened when Tebow played. The offense seemed alive, sparked, and ready to play. When the receivers dropped Orton’s passes, they looked at him like it was his fault. Tebow’s passes, at the feet of a couple of receivers seemed to be met with the receivers’ admission of responsibility for not catching a badly thrown pass. That gave me pause. One QB hits a player in the numbers and it is a dropped passed, another throws at his feet and it is a “My Bad.” The difference is leadership. Tebow may not be pretty, but he is a leader for whom players will go the extra mile.

   As the game clock wound down, there was one clear feeling in the stands” “get the ball to Tebow one more time” and he showed 71,000+ our collective hope was not misplaced. Yes, the Broncos came up short, but in doing so we all saw a fantastic glimpse of a future that can be ours.

2. Good Morning from Omaha,

   that was a fun game to watch. you could almost feel the excitement through the tv. the crowd got into it and Orton got into his warm up jacket.

   The bronco’s have a LOT of problems. It is as obvious as the big nose on my face. Tebow is just one piece of the puzzle. The bronco’s need to shake the box a little and see if they can find some other pieces. Heaven knows the pieces are out there- go find them and put the picture back together.

   of course you know my opinion will change when the chiefs play the bronco’s but its fun to cheer them on from a distance.

   Strive for excellence, nothing but your best.

3. TT is abysmal under center, almost dropped 4 snaps, but the coaches kept calling plays for him to be under center in the 3rd quarter. Once they pulled their heads out and started calling a spread offence that 4th quarter was some of the most exciting football I’ve seen in Bronco Nation in a very long time. Mile High was electric.

   The coaches have 2 weeks to install a new offence, and they better do it to play to TT’s strengths.

   The Chargers got VERY lucky to win that game. There was blatant pass interference in the back of the end zone on that Hail Mary pass that was not called. The last time I checked the rules, the defense is not allowed to push the receiver 5 yards out of the back of the end zone.

4. Dear Drew,

   I didn’t watch the Bronco game yesterday (was with my sister yesterday for an extended visit). I’m glad that Fox is finally looking to replace Orton. Now personally I didn’t care if he was replaced with Tebow or Brady Quinn.

   Now I keep hearing how Tebow doesn’t have great mechanics and a lot of other complaints. However one thing I do know is that man has a strong will to win. I remember at Florida when his team lost a game he went public and said something along the lines of the team will not lose again if he has anything to do with it. That is either ego or leadership. No matter which you think it is THAT is the sort of the thing the Bronco’s need.

   All the best

5. I wasn’t able to catch Tebow until the fourth quarter, and only on Red Zone, but what I saw was encouraging. Two weeks ago, I would have said that Tebow shouldn’t go in until after the bye, and if we were 1-4 at that point. Fox put him in a half earlier than I expected, and he did electrify the Bronco Nation, which hasn’t had much to cheer about since Elway retired and Terrell Davis went down that next year. We’ve had some good players and some hope, but by the end of the season our only consolation was that the Raiders were just as bad. Now we don’t even have that.

   I’m not ready to go out and buy a Tebow jersey just yet. But I’m glad I never got an Orton, either. I dumped my Cutler one when that rather distasteful scenario happened. Still got my Eddie McCaffrey and Champ Bailey, though. I’ll keep them.

6. Fans got what they wanted. Orton played himself out of a job. Personally I think he lost the offense after the Tennessee game. It was an opportunity to get a win in a season where 6-8 wins was the ceiling.

   Wasn’t that impressed with Tebow last year when he played and didn’t see anything yesterday that has changed my mind. He one-trick pony and that’ll work in brief outings like yesterday’s game, but a team can’t win that way week in and week out in the NFL. Eleven games to prove me and a whole lot of others wrong, but I bet by Thanksgiving Bronco fans will be watching Saturday games looking for the next QB.

7. I’m not a Broncos fan, but I watched the game, and Tebow was accomplishing more than Orton was. Whatever Tebow’s faults, I don’t see how you can make an argument to play Orton instead.
