As a Broncos fan, maybe you can explain to me what happened. I'm a life long Bearsss fan. It took awhile, but Orton developed into an average (great for a Bearsss) QB when we traded him to you for Cutler. He seemed to put up decent stats with you guys (Great for a Bearssss QB) but got benched for Tebow. Then you guys started winning. If Tebow is so bad, why were you winning after benching Orton? Orton wasn't really that bad, was he? Was that just a weird lucky fluke? I remember you guys coming into Chicago and the Bearssss Defense were laughing and making jokes about how bad Tebow was. And we shut you guys down for most of the game but Tebow lead Broncos down the field for the win at the end of the game. So much for all that talk. You even won a playoff game. How can Tebow be so bad and yet....not? Was it just the Gimmick offense that worked for a little bit? Would/should they have been better sticking with Orton?!?!?!

[@chrish7336]

@@cheeseburger12 As An NFL QB he was not good. Orton had a better overall career, Denver just wasn't the place for him. If the Patriots couldn't do anything with Tebow then you knew he wasn't worth looking at as a QB (maybe a running back with throwing potential). He was able to make some big plays when needed but it was never really expected until late in games and you never knew when it would happen. As far as Orton, just look at Cassel and Garoppolo after they left New England. They were never Great QB's but in New England they improved and excelled helping the team. Only to fail in another city and under another system. College is a different game and you expect the QB to be able to run, however the NFL catches on quickly and defenses learn how to play against certain QB's that like to run or get flustered.

@@patrickleblanc613 I've seen clips of Tebow over years training and attempting to speed up his throwing motion. A habit like that is hard to break. When it takes almost a whole second to throw and release the ball it gives the defenders an extra step towards the target to deflect or intercept the ball. That's why his career completion percentage was below 50%. He played Johnny Manziel style which won him many games initially but it wasn't hard for NFL defenses to catch on. That pass to beat Pittsburgh in OT was amazing. Unfortunately for him, he had to go up against a Bill Belichick defense the next week.

[@MindGuild]

Tebow exploited "prevent defenses" that NFL teams use late in games to protect leads. These defenses allow QBs to throw underneath coverage for short gains while defending against long passes. Tebow could complete these high-percentage passes and run for big gains late in games against this defense, which explains all his come from behind wins. Against New England, Belichek had figured him out and tightened pass coverage against Tebow to make him throw with accuracy (which he can't do) and assigned an LB on him at all times to prevent him from running. As a result, New England won 45-10, and Tebow was carted off the field in the second half. The following season, the entire league had him figured out and put intense pressure on him in the pocket, took away short passes, and made him throw down the field, because they knew he had no accuracy. and his completion percentage got even lower. Tebow could never become an NFL QB because he couldn't throw the deep out route, which is a necessity because it's the one that converts 3rd and long and moves the chains. If you can't throw it, you can't play QB in the NFL.

The lockout from March to July of that year stopped any work with the team he might have been able to completed. Then, just to drive the final nail in the crate for him, when Denver acquired Peyton Manning in 2012 I had hopes that a then-24 year old Tebow could learn and study under Manning, and come out with much better skills, particularly in reading defenses and improving his passing accuracy.

I would use Mike Vick, or Vince Young, Pick the 2 routes I like best on a pass play, and if they both get stuffed, I scramble. Sometimes, receivers get open, and it makes for a wild play.

Tebow had all the intangibles, and none of the tangibles. There was a reason he wasn't drafted high in the first, despite his reputation as a leader and a great teammate.

[@ass_jay]

Well said, but I would add that he had all the tangibles for his college scheme. The NFL plays so differently today there's no way he could fit. Thankfully his defense was nuts and we got to watch him on the field for a while a little longer than we should have, but man that was fun.

The only tangibles Tebow didn't have was arm talent, which is fairly important as a QB. He had the rest though, he was big, fast and ran like a freight train. If only he had average or above average passing ability.

I watched Tim Tebow play a lot of games. I wasn't a fan of his or any team that he played for. What I saw were the times the coach allowed Tim to do his thing and make the plays was when Tebow Time would spark up. Tebow Time was the fans acknowledging that when Tebow was given the reigns, he had the ability to make plays with either running or throwing to a WR doing a route Tim knew well. I think the problem with Tim could have been his leadership position wasn't there enough to force the coaches to design a better NFL team to his abilities.

[@conrak1]

[@jamiekelley4076]

You have to be careful with narratives like this because you're making it sound like the only thing that kept Tebow from becoming a legend in the NFL were his coaches not letting him play Tebow Time ball all the time. The truth is that Denver defense was playing lights out and keeping them in games and Tebow Time wasn't consistent at getting comeback wins like you make it sound. They limped into the playoffs because teams were starting figure out Tebow was a one trick pony and starting to adjust accordingly and the Denver defense was getting tired from having to play extended minutes because the Denver offense couldn't move the ball. The main reason they beat the Steelers was because Demaryius Thomas decided he was going to be Usain Bolt for a game and just outrun defenders for 50 yards per catch. I also think the Steelers defense was a little banged up but either way once they ran into a legitimate title contender Tebow got decimated. I think the coaching staff knew that Tebow style ball might get the team .500 wins, if that, given their defense and the talent around Tebow but they knew they had a championship caliber team and Tebow wasn't the one going to make that happen cause teams were already figuring out how to stop him. And with Tebow taking so much punishment that his shelf life was probably a few seasons at best. Honestly I think we saw the best of what Tebow had to offer and it was all going to be down hill from there if they kept him.

It feels like you're trying to take all blame away from Tebow- the one person who was in control of his performances and progression. His stats and efficiency were abysmal and not just because he was young and inexperienced, it was his entire mechanics and inability to read defenses. He was a MASSIVE project. Because he was wholesome, well loved and had a hint of success, nobody wanted to see him take a backseat long enough to progress and no team was going to thrust him in to a starting position just because he was a great role model and clutch. The 2011 Broncos team was STACKED! The defense was incredible and the offense had a plethora of weapons to use. Tebow benefitted greatly from such an ideal situation, masking just how awful he was and allowed him enough success to build a rabid fanbase. If he would've gone to a bad team he most likely would've been buried on the depth chart and pushed out of the league without many people outside of Florida knowing or caring.
