Broncos Quarterback Tim Tebow Wins GMC Never Say Never Award

Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow has won the GMC Never Say Never award after he and the Broncos finished with a tie for the NFL record with six victories when not leading heading into the fourth quarter.
Call it Mile High Magic, Tebow magic, Tebowmania, or whatever you must call it, but one thing is for sure--the Denver Broncos had a heck of a run from the moment that guy became the quarterback, including a six game winning streak and an improbable victory over reigning AFC Champion Pittsburgh in the first round of the playoffs.
Tebow and the Broncos won a handful of Never Say Never awards throughout the course of the season, so Tebow was probably expected to run away with this award.
As an aside, the "never say never" award is really representative of Tebow and his road to the NFL and his career thus far. Guys like Todd McShay said he'd never be a starter in the league, Merril Hoge said he was the worst QB in history, and pretty much nobody thought he'd be a first round pick. Then, when he proved everyone wrong and became a starting quarterback, he didn't put up the best numbers and definitely looked like a raw, under-developed quarterback at times but he made some plays that Broncos fans will never forget.
He is entrenched as a superstar in sports and an icon around the globe. Some people might not like what he represents but there is no denying that Tebow is a special person and athlete.

Better to be quiet and thought of as ignorant than to open your mouth and remove all doubt
Well a SB win would be better than that lol!!

No doubt about it
Deserved as never in history…

What's to be said?
Congratulations, Tim!
God Bless and Go Broncos!!
I just want to see the Broncos score LOTS of points, beat the SNOT out of the opponent, and walk away with a humble "God Bless". How about you?
Well deserved
Only good things to come. The team is only going to improve. I enjoy watching history being made. A dynasty in the making.

Grats to TT and the Broncos as an entire team!
Rest well, heal, and come back ready to take it to the next level!

Great for Tim, Von and for the Broncos!
We conquered this territory with our bodies and souls, then we watered it with our tears.
Go Denver!

I just watched Fallon announce it moments ago
as I’ve been watching the NBA beforehand but this was epic, to capture the essence of Tebow, I exhort you to read my signature!

With Coach Zorro on our side, we will slice opponents to ribbons. Tim Tebow gives me hope and I already have faith and charity in my heart! I see a propitious future rife with Lombardis for our Broncos!

Nice job TT. Thanks Sayre!
Foxy...you WERE on the hot seat, but you fooled me you rascally old deveil...keep building that team mate!
"Tebow is a special player. I have never seen a player quite like him in my whole career! I’m gonna play all out for the guy! I know he will be out there giving 110% every play every week, so I’m gonna give 120%!:
Champ Bailey.
ALL THE POLITICALLY CORRECT BRONCO FANS MAKE ME SICK
WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM WITH ORTON…. HE CHOKES… HATE ME FOR MY NAME AND HATE FOR BEING A BRONCO FAN… BUT DIDNT WE WAIT FOR A TRUE FOOT BALL PLAYER AT QB… TEBOW HAD THE BALLLS ALL BRONCO FANS HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR…. IF ANY MHR SAYS TEBOW SHOULD BE OUT SHOULD LEAVE THE SITE AS WELL
YOUR CAPS LOCK KEY SEEMS TO BE STUCK, IT MAY BE TIME FOR A NEW KEYBOARD.
OH LOOK, MINE IS TOO.

Thats just too funny
Your “true” football player has some issues with his throwing motion. Maybe Tebow has one or two faults. Just maybe……
I am excited to see what we do next year with Tebow at QB. If you want to enjoy the games and commenting here maybe you should realize that even as our starter, even with my support, he will make mistakes and I for one will probably complain about it.
Further, if I think our team could do better with another QB and I see value in a trade for our starter then I think I am hoping for a better future for the team. See, I am a fan of the team and I have not seen any reason to think the Broncos will fail simply because Tim Tebow is not the QB.
Go Broncos!

At least Tebow's balls are bigger than Orton's
anyway, I’m a Broncos fan, and Tebow is our best option so that’s why I say let’s keep him around

Perfect
This award is a no-brainer…
Loved the good moments this season, cringed at the bad ones… but if anything, Tebow added entertainment value to the football season and helped to establish a sense of relevance to the Broncos in the NFL once again.
I’m still not convinced he will be our starter for all of 2012, but deep down I hope he improves where he needs to so that he can continue to thrill us with spectacular plays and unbelievable comeback wins. I am proud to be a Broncos fan because of Tebow. Never seen a more humble, truly good person in my life, someone that represents what a true role model should be.
Great job TT.
Go Broncos!
Quite possibly the most interesting man in the world... Stay thirsty my friends!
