Uhhhhhh, NO.

I for one would LOVE to see this IF we can get him in the therd or fourth round only. I suspect that Jacksonville, based on their owner’s comments, may grab him in the First round. I think the way McDaniels likes players who bring multiple skill sets to the table would enjoy bringing in a player with his pedigree and talent.
IMHO

Now, though, I wonder. McD clearly likes to innovate and change things up. And he was very hard to predict in last year’s draft. Who knows???

You had me at Tim Tebow. Seriously though, I think he’ll be a first or early second round pick and I doubt we have a legit shot at taking him, but I’d love to see him wear a slightly different orange and blue on Sundays. He exemplifies everything that the McDaniels era Broncos want to be and I could see a role for him in our offense.

Doom and BMarsh will have a large contract. If we want Tebow, we would have to move up to get him and he will demand a large amount of cash. I don’t think it happens.

How many different Tim Tebow posts do we have to have.

The answer is…NO

in long: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

a retread I know

It is an intriguing posibilty.

Look I love Tim Tebow and before the season started, I have to admit the idea intrigued me of having Tim Tebow next year.

However, Orton executed the Wildhorses offense perfectly. He was like 8-9 passing out of that. He is a much better passer than Tebow. I don’t like that idea at all.

I think Miami has done a very good job mixing up their Wildcat offense, but I don’t like the idea of pulling Orton off the field. It’s only been 6 games, so I still am trying to temper my expectations for him, but before the season started I wondered if Orton had the same potential as Brees.

Brees was a late bloomer in the NFL and played for Purdue in the same offense as Orton did at Purdue. Both had very good careers there, but struggles a little bit in the early part of their NFL careers. I am planning a post on this topic later. Anyhow, I think it would be a mistake to pull Orton off the field.

Frankly, I doubt we’ll see the wild horses again this season. Well, maybe again vs. oakland or KC, just to keep defensive coordinators preparing for it, or against a team that has shown to be poor against the wildcat.

That would definitely draw fans to the stadium and maybe save the franchise. I think that makes much more sense than Tebow coming to the Mile High city.

Tebow still has yet to show any kind of projectable ability under center. Despite their preseason suggestions, the Gators coaching staff just don’t place him under center. So drafting him would essentially be using a first-day pick for a situational quarterback, and that pick would probably be better served elsewhere.

And if the stance from the Gators camp is any indication, Tebow is going to demand to be a qb, and probably one with a legitimate shot at being the full-time guy. But without a reasonable body of work to suggest he can handle the more conventional quarterback roles, bringing him in would essentially force the offense into a shotgun spread style. I don’t see McDaniels changing his offense for a quarterback. He’s already declined to do that once.

The one team that would seem to be a good fit for him is Miami. They already run that Wildcat enough; bringing Tebow in would fit nicely. After Miami, Minnesota is probably the next best bet. They have to replace some old dude anyhow, and they have the offensive players to transition nicely into an offense that suits Tebow. Imagine having Harvin, Peterson, and Tebow behind that offensive line.

Jacksonville, as kb noted, keeps coming up as a possibility. That one scares me because it seems to be led more as a fan-interest move than an actual strategy move. I don’t think those kinds of draft decisions tend to work well.

We currently have a starting qb who is in the top ten in the league in: Completions, Attempts, Yards, Average, Touchdowns, Fewest Interceptions, First Downs, Longest Passing Play, 40+ yard Passing Plays, and Passer Rating.

We have a back-up qb who has proven himself able to take his previous team to the play-offs.

We just drafted a 3rd string qb in the 2009 Draft as a developmental player.

So why are we thinking that we need to draft a qb in the first round of the next draft?

I tend to think it’s not on McDaniels’ radar, especially since his training under Belichick has been to look for qbs in the later rounds.

We are not even halfway through the regular season and you want to talk about Tim Tebow?

First, I like your post because it is different and gets us thinking about lots of different angles…especially during a bye week! Second, I like your post because you had the balls to post it, even though you knew it would have several different perspectives. Third, I like it because you didn’t suggest that he replace what we are doing with Orton, but that it becomes another tool in the toolbox.

I think some have hit the nail on the head. Would we be reaching for this in the 2nd round or not? If this was a 4th round pick, would it be a reach? 3rd round? I suspect most MHR members would settle on the 4th round for something like this. Probably Tebow wouldn’t be on the board that late unless hell had frozen over.

Brandstater Height: 6’ 5" · Weight: 220 lbs
Tebow 6’ 3" 240 lbs

Tom can add muscle, Tim is done growing…

Yet he’s going to be availabble for our first and maybe even our second rounder?

IF he’s that good, he shouldn’t make it past the first few picks!

Case in point; Keith Smart. One of the greatest college bball players could not transition to the NBA. The list goes on and on, To be the best in college you have to carry your team, to be the best in the pros you have to carry your franchise against a whole league of people who carried their teams in college, many crumble under these circumstances.

Tebow will want big money. you have Brandon Marshall Elvis Dumervil Kyle Orton Ben Hamilton Andra Davis and a few others who have made a serious impact in Denver already you figure those guys command top dollar and we probably lose one or two (hopefully only one imo) but tebow will want that type of cash too!

tebow will make a great NFL tight end. or maybe fullback
