The Future is Now: Denver Broncos, QB Tim Tebow Destined For Greatness

Besides enjoying, I agree with your observations here… really great ones. I do think he can win at this level… and the best part: for the Broncos!

I’m really anxious about sunday. This will be the first time that he will start because he gives us the best chance to win. Last season he started 3 games, but due to an injury suffered by Kyle. Now it’s really the Tebow time! The all 4 QBs are ready to play, but HE will start and show us how a clutch QB can lead the Broncos!

I put a big hope on him. Thank you for this post.

Cutler tells the OC to tell Martz to go f himself. Meanwhile in Denver the Tebow era begins and everyone is watching, half to gain affirmation that they were right and half to prove they were right that he is not an NFL QB. I’m with you Sayre, so thanks for the post. Rec’d

But I will always support the team! If he is our quarterback, than he has my full support. I really hope he can prove the MSM guys wrong…again. One thing is for sure, Bronco games are much more exciting with him behind center. I just want it to translate into wins.
Go Broncos!

Well that’s me ready for Sunday’s game now …………. just got to get through Friday and Saturday first!

i don’t know if he’s gonna be a great QB or a star in the NFL, I’m happy that the defense is getting better and that Tebow is finally the starting QB. Go Broncos!!!

I think the attitude of this team will change drastically now that the leadership of the team has changed. That is no offense to Kyle Orton, who by all accounts is a great guy, it’s just that Tebow approaches the game quite a bit differently.

This is the only part I differ on you. This should be an offense to Kyle because, IMO, it’s the reason we’ve been suffering for the past few years. Orton loses a huge game and it’s no spilled milk. Tebow loses a big game and you hear one of the greatest speeches of all time.

I was wrong about Tebow on draft day and bow down to you and others who predicted that this kid will be special. I can now only hope with everything I have that you’re right about everything else and that the front office will start building a (for the love of all that’s holy I can’t think of this stupid word — but it’s what teams are called when they dominate a decade and win multiple super bowls…) around Tebow.

Go Timmy….. GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!!!!

but I like it

Do you, or do you not think Tebow will succeed at the NFL level? MAKE. UP. YOUR. MIND!

LOL

Thanks, Sayre. I’m pumped for the game.

I also was very excited when we drafted Tebow , he’s a special player and I have no doubt he will suceed .

At least not with this team yet. I think we are still growing and it is going to be a long process. Defense has improved but is not perfect and the WR’s are young and RB’s need a little help.

I do think that he will do everything in his power to win. And that is more than we’ve had since Plummer was at the helm.

So I am not going to judge solely by our win\loss record but by how he plays and how the team plays as a whole.

Yes there is a large bromance that a lot of fans have with him, but THAT’S WHAT FANS DO! We love a guy that has potential for our team. Its the same with von,doom, champ, etc.

We are all excited to see if Tebow can do this, and we are excited he finally is gonna get his shot. I will cheer, analyze, and debate him in the next 2 months. There are no certainties, but we all HOPE he does well. And IF he plays poorly, and doesn’t progress then I will be hoping for Luck or whatever QB we can get next year. I just think that Tebow will give us a reason to draft CB in the first.

Yeah, so I don’t like these kinds of articles. Sorry. It’s based primarily on speculation and a lot of hope. Can we give these blog topics a rest until we see some games, yeah? [/losing proposal] [/not really a big deal, you can write what you want]

But we don’t know that. For crying out loud, let the poor kid at least play out the season before we anoint him.

The backup QB is always the answer…until he gets in and everyone’s fantasy has to give way to reality. There will be ups and downs. We don’t know how many of each. Fans will need to be patient. It’s easy to have all the answers when you’re sitting on the couch at home.

Let’s just root for the guy, and not expect miracles. Even if we win this weekend. Anybody remember that 6-0 start? Right. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. This is gonna take some time. It’s great to have hope, but our team still has a long road ahead.

I thought it was a bad decision to keep Orton after the failed trade to Miami, as they have wasted 4 loses and about 6.5 mil on him. I would have cut ties with Orton and said, good luck in the future and went all in with Tebow just to see where we stand. A regime that makes critical mistakes like that seem to stall when it matters and I hope EFX have at least learned the lessions…If Tebow wins the majority of the remaining games then he’s our man, f he loses then EFX have more decisions to make…

Thanks! You are destined for greatness as well! I think we should draft a MHR: Hall of Fame contributers – I’d put you in there!

cant coach special. the dude is just something extra.

Something everyone seems to forget about, is development. not just for Tebow.

development for whoever denver drafts next year. we think of this as an 11 game tryout, but really, unless Tebow really really sucks it up, he will be the starter next year, even if they do draft a qb first round next year that qb wont be ready to just jump in and take the reigns (unless that qb is Luck, and i really dont think anyone but the #1 pick will get Luck. and we will not have that pick…). Tebow will still be under contract, so i see almost no situation where he is not getting more than these final 11 games to show everything. i think the staff will give him the offseason he missed this year, at the very least, to show he can develop the things he still lacks (the things EVERY rookie qb lacks…)

He’s played 3 1/2 quarters as an NFL starting QB. Can we wait before we say he’s “destined for greatness”? I hope he succeeds just like every other Bronco fan, but I think expectations are way too high right now. He looks promising, but he still has a lot of work to do.

“‘ppreciate that!”

Keep fueling his fire! As a Bronco fan I love it! As a competitor I love it even more! Tell him he can’t and he’ll show you just how wrong you are! Keep it up! You’re making him work even harder…..

I don’t follow college ball that much, and all I really heard pre-draft was how this Tebow guy just wasn’t made for the NFL. With your draft previews though, Sayre, I learned and then was thrilled that we got this guy.

Oh, and you forgot the obligatory “the Broncos FO is not on board with this guy,” or even “they want him to fail.” That’s something I never bought into: they’ve spent ~ $10M on him, and as you said, you can’t coach what he has. Whatever you say about EFX, I don’t think they would just toss him aside.

One thing is for sure, though: we will be excited to watch Broncos football again. Most of us here have never experienced the team mired in mediocrity for an extended period of time. We’re beat down after the departure of Shanahan and the turbulence since. Sucks, don’t it?

I was in Atlanta when Vick came to town. The team was under new ownership, and the fans had a taste of winning with the Super Bowl season in ‘98, but do you know the Falcons still had never had back-to-back winning seasons in their history? Talk about wallowing in mediocrity! I’m not at all trying to make the comparison of Vick vs. Tebow football-wise, but what was cool was to see the entire complexion of football change in that city. Fans were suddenly excited about their team again.

Now is the time. Even if the Dolphins rather suck this year, we’ve generally sucked worse when playing them in Florida. I hope this Sunday is different. I hope it’s the stake in the ground that we can look back on in years and see when our team started trending up. A return to the time when every team around the league feels like the Browns did in the playoffs of yore; a time when those last seconds tick off the clock, and the opponent is standing helmet in hand wondering what just happened.

Yeah, it can happen. Now is the time to see it play out. Bring on the fun!

For too long it’s looked to me like this team was full of guys just playing for a paycheck. Tim exudes a love for the game and that will make a whole lot of difference to the way this team goes about its business. I hope…………

But I disagree that the FO is behind Tim Tebow. John Fox and Elway has been lukewarm in announcing Tebow as starter. They always say that this is a week to week evaluation not an 11 game evaluation for the starting QB.

When Orton was announced as the starter at the beginning of the season they always say that he gives the broncos to win even if we are losing. Fox was asked last week if Tebow gives as the best chance to win but his answer lacks support or confidence to Tebow.

MAKES ME WANT TO GO TO WAR WITH HIM!

says Tim Tebow is a winner. Thus, all of my doubts did cease concerning him

He’s a big, tough QB who may not throw the pretty ball but can get things done.

How many times in the last two years have the Broncos choked out in the red zone and settled for three points.

I don’t see Tebow settling for three.

Tebow is the most over analyzed player in NFL history. Let’s just wait and see. I have been begging for Tim to get a chance what he does with it is for all of us to watch it unfold. What I don’t want to hear is well it was complete but not a spiral of so what he gained 20 yards, but he didn’t go through his progressions. Let’s break down results only.

We Tebow/Broncos followers are so excited for his 1st start of the season..! im sure he’ll do just fine. Mabuhay Timmy boy from the Philippines!

Looks like you got a lot of people fired up.

I really enjoyed this article, kinda reminds me of those giddy days when Elway was just getting started. You could feel it about to happen then, too.

We’ve all heard of the Madden curse, but ever since Shanahan benched a 7-4 Plummer for rookie future-whiner Cuntler, we’ve had nothing but strokes of bad luck: Darrent Williams shot dead right after the season crashed and burned…Shanahan’s defenses sucking, McDaniels EGO (I supported him at first before I realized just how not ready and immature he was)…getting rid of Pro-Bowl players and Hillis…about 6-7 injuries at the RB position in one season… Kyle Orton collapsing, the list goes on….could we descend any lower?

In comes Tebow and everyone’s excited again. We can’t wait to watch our 1-4 team beat the tar out of their 0-5 team. Tebow is having his homecoming with the Dolphin’s honoring his championship…it couldn’t be more picture perfect. I hope this SUnday marks the end of the curse of bad luck that has sunk our beloved team to such a low after their rise to greatness…

But here it really is, the cold hard truth. If Tebow loses this game in any way shape or form, the usual cast of experts will be calling for his head and it will be a long season…who can get passed losing to one of the worst teams in the league with your future star Qb given a full head of steam…but if Tebow rocks..and we beat em by a huge margin, then it’s on! We could still make the playoffs if that becomes the new tempo, the new rally behind an inspiring leader…. Wouldn’t that be grand! The Raiders will probably smoke the chiefs so we’ll be tied for third in our division and moving on up!

This could be the turning point we’ve all be waiting for! Go Broncos!

Let’s sit back and enjoy the show!
