NFL Playoffs: Is Tebow's Time Up?

by Todduscraig on Jan 4, 2012 6:00 AM MST

Here's my latest offering:

At the beginning of this NFL season, I wrote an article singing the praises of Kyle Orton and the Denver Broncos. I acknowledged that Orton wasn't going to be anything special, but that with Denver's defense and renewed running game, his veteran leadership offered the team the best chance for victory.

As Orton's shaky play continued through the start of the season, I wrote another piece explaining the benefits of having Tebow on the bench, letting him take in the speed of the game and refine his skills during practices.

Oops.

Tebow, in case you missed any of the bajillion stories in the press, strung together an improbable 6-0 run that featured the improbable, the unlikely and the flat out amazing. An entire football nation swooned under the auspices of Tebow's GQ looks, his aw-shucks demeanor and a ripped physique. Mix all of that with a healthy dose of religious fervor of an old school tent revival and Tebow-mania arrived. His supporters sang his praises from the mountaintops. Indeed, it really seemed like all that Tebow did was win.

Hey Todd

Nice compilation of “the season according to Tebow!” It certainly has been a ride hasn’t it? I’m excited for the future based upon the results of this season. I see it all as positive. The wins, the losses, every bit of it will give us a great deal to work on during the summer, and I can’t wait to see who the new faces will be that join us.

My commendations are to the entire organization for bringing back the excitement to Denver Bronco Football again!

It is better to keep silent, and appear to be wise, then to ramble on aimlessly and remove all doubt! The Wisest Man, Solomon.

Seriously Todd ?

This is pretty weak stuff man. Tim’s “QQ looks, aw shucks demeanor, ripped physique and religious convictions” had nothing to do with the “football nation swoon” you refer to. However taking a 1-4 team with no hope whatsoever on a 7-1 streak may have had a little something to do with it.

The fact that you’re 0 for 2 on Orton being the best chance to win and keeping Tebow on the bench indicates that you must not follow the team very closely, lack credibility and are just repeating the MSM talking points without much if any analysis.
