Ah, the Legend of Tebow, not the greatest pro talent in the world but damn did he ever make it exciting to watch!

[@ken7165]

Ya its was so exciting watching a "qb" who couldn't throw the ball 🙄

[@brandondixon1536]

It was his short passes in the flat.... Slants and screens he couldn't throw..... He was money on the long balls and that's what beat the Steelers.... Tebow had talent and did a few things great! But all of the things he couldn't do well didn't equal to championships and longevity in the league giving defenses ample time to figure you out to shut you down.....however it would've been fun to watch him for at least a couple more seasons and I'm not even broncos fan

[@brandondixon1536]

@BEASTMODE 2020 they had to mess with his throwing style because his release was SLOW on all of his throws which again if he continued to play that way defenses would figure out how defense every single pass......i won't deny he was a competitor and a winner.... But realistically long term tebow was never the answer..... Like i said before i wish i could've watched him a couple of more years..... He's doing just fine for himself now thanks to his fame he gained in college and very few years in the NFL and continues to work hard at everything he does

[@MrPhilm00r]

It was definitely exciting at times, but then other timed a bit boring with all the bad throws. I was never a big Tebow fan, but I respected his passion and competitive spirit

Elway set this team back many years NY dropping someone who just knew how to win. And inspired his teammates in a way noone can understand. Being a leader is a gift.

[@Drave_Jr.]

Agreed, even if you got Peyton, Tebow is a great backup QB, his main problem was lack of experience, and even then, 8-5 with a playoff win against an amazing Steelers team is something to keep. Just needed more time. I wonder if he was kept on, would he have taken over in Super Bowl 48 Second Half, just to see if something moved.

[@jasonavery]

If Tebow was Peyton’s back up for 3 years. He may have learned a lot from him. Then got even better.

[@jmcsquared18]

Everyone talks about the Steeler's playoff win but imo this was Tebow's best game in the NFL. He played well the entire 2nd half, not just for the last five minutes or so, going 10-15 with 200yds and 2 TD's, no picks. He hardly ran the ball at all this game. The Vikings caused a lot of pressure up front, but with the play actions to McGahee and deep routes to Thomas, the Broncos blew open their coverage.

[@jenspetersen5865]

Maybe if you look very carefully, it might dawn on you why they were so open! It is actually pretty simple math. If you use 8-9 men to stop the run then receivers get open. Tebow had some of the absolutely best ball handling on play action, and sorry you haters are so ridiculous! This is a brief extract of what he did in the NFL: Fastest player in NFL history to six game-winning drives Most passing yards in a playoff debut in NFL history Highest passer rating of any Broncos QB ever in a playoff game Only NFL QB to ever to complete four passes of 30 yards or more in a single quarter of an NFL playoff game, with 51, 30, 58, & 40. Most yards per attempt in a playoff game Most yards per completion in a playoff game and fewest passes to 300+ yards in any NFL game Only quarterback in NFL history to throw three 50+ yard passes in a playoff game Longest touchdown pass in NFL playoff history in overtime in the shortest overtime winning play in history 13+ Point Fourth-Quarter Comebacks - reached Elway’s career total by his 4th start Tripled the win rate over his predecessor Only QB ever drafted by Broncos to win a playoff game for us First QB in NFL history to throw and run for a TD in his first 3 starts Record for Longest rushing TD by a Broncos QB ever set in his first start Largest comeback win in Broncos history (later surpassed by Manning) set in his 2nd start Largest comeback in NFL history within the last 3 minutes set in his 4th start ... If you look at his 16 starts and compare to elite QBs he, won more, scored more, had fewer turnovers than Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, Troy Aikman, John Elway, Terry Bradshaw.... over the same stretch.

[@MrBigShot110]

Outrageously wide open because he gave himself extra time moving around in the backfield. Should be obvious to you tbh. No secondary can cover forever, no matter how good they are

[@omararaujo5971]

[@dbmbrian2166]

Who agrees that teams did not let Tebow be Tebow. They should have put him out there with the team's plays and let him do his thing. Florida did that and they won 2 national championships as I remember. Anyway, they tried to turn him into a pocket quarterback and destroy all of his natural talent -- imagine if the Vikings or the Giants did that to the innovative, scrambling, seat-of-the-pants Fran Tarkington -- Hall of Famer I think (better passer I admit). But the image of Tebow throwing that beautiful strike during the playoffs to beat the Steelers, that was the REAL guy out there, adlibbing using his natural talent and the ball was right there on the money! I really thought that Bellechek (Patriots) was going to be the one to let Tebow go -- but keeping the Patriots' playbook in front of Tim's face all the time. But, didn't happen. Can I say . . . It's not his fault. It's the NFL system. Like the outdated, entrenched conventional way of the MLB recruiting ideas and system shown in MONEYBALL.

[@jennyanydots2389]

@@Jay-ot3cq Really? His mechanics were so bad that receivers couldn't rely on him delivering the ball in the same spot on time... ever (hence his very low completion percentage). His reading ability was so bad that he regularly stared his primary read down without even attempting to look at other receivers. And while he could scramble he didn't have elite NFL speed so he couldn't rely on that ability on the regular. His physical skill set was good enough for college but not the NFL. Tebow simply wasn't physically capable of being a quality NFL player at any position. That's the reality of the situation... if he could play he'd be playing.

[@dbmbrian2166]

Elway simply wasn't going to allow Tebow to be the face of the Bronco's. Not when he himself was at the time. Given a chance, Tim Tebow could have been an excellent QB in the NFL. Tim was one of the few professionals who brought passion into his play, and it was fun to watch.

Well when the prospect of having Peyton Manning presents itself to you, you have to take it. If the Colts would have held on to Peyton, Tebow would have definitely been the QB the following season.

[@pittsapirate86]

If I recall Tebow wasn't the starting QB that season. So why not keep him on as a back up. Peyton was a good grab but his health was already on the decline. Keeping Tebow on would have been ideal for the future of the team. Peyton seemed more like instant gratification.

[@s435186]

@@pittsapirate86 While Tebow would have learned a lot under Manning, having both in Denver would have brought even more media attention to the team. It's hard enough winning in the NFL; adding more attention causes distractions and in this case, may have caused rifts in the locker room by way of QB controversy. Imagine having two alpha QBs in the locker room. It just wouldn't work. The Eagles know this. That's why they shipped Foles out of Philly. Thats why Cam wasn't signed til recently. Anyone with half a brain knows he is a better option than half the starting QBs in the NFL but you can't have him on the team if you want to empower your young QB. Getting back to Tebow. Yes he took over and won games and yes he took the team to the playoffs and won, but once the Patriots blew the Tebowmania goggles off of everyone, it was clear he had a long way to go if he was going to be a great QB. Manning on the other hand was already established and had a few good years left in him. If you want to keep your job as a coach and as a GM, you have to do everything you can to win and unfortunately for Tebow, that meant getting rid of him so the team could rally around Manning. I wish Tebow had a longer career because it was fun watching him but going to the Jets and the Eagles was a career killer at the time. And the media didn't do him any favors by constantly covering him. Is he a starter today? Absolutely not. Backup? The way I see it, only as a 3rd string and only in the way Taysom Hill is used in NO.

Thats fair. Valid points. I always look at it from a player standpoint. I saw Tebow as a natural leader. His athleticism is probably what got him as far as he made it but his ability to rally the team and create that will to win is what made him great to me. I just didn't see that with Peyton. And I feel like the legend of Peyton became greater than his actual level of play towards the end. I mean looking at that superbowl win he put the team in more horrible situations than good. The defense literally won that game. And Osweiler was in my opinion ruined because of that experience. No different than Tebow getting shipped of because Peyton.

TEBOW? @9:26......TF!!!! Can't fake on'em tho he had his time....i always gave Tebow props.

[@Jaycheong95]

crazy juke at 6:10

[@TTSCAM]

The original tayson hill

[@AshkiiTaylor]

6:12 that juke tho

Tebow scored 34 times in his first 16 games of playing time. That would rank 2nd in 2019 for scores by a QB. He was robbed by the NFL. He was voted a top 100 player of the year and a pro bowl alternate after only 11 starts in 2011 and never started another game at QB in the NFL.

[@dencoreaps4266]

You are counting the TDs he ran under Orton's starts and full credit for the rushing tds by QB should not be given as some would have been made by the RBs, but he had huge potential.

[@CyberviewU]

@@dencoreaps4266 Tebow scored more often and more often per pass attempt than every quarterback that has been played ahead of him. Tebow threw a TD every 16.4 attempts in 2010 and 19.6 attempts in his first 16 in 2010/2011. In 2010, he ranked 1st for TDs per completion and 5th for TDS per attempt as a rookie. Manning didn't rank in the top five. Orton threw a TD every 24.9 attempts in 2010 and 28 attempts in 2011. Manning threw a TD every 20.5 attempts in 2010 Sanchez threw a TD every 34.8 attempts in 2012 G. Smith threw a TD every 36.9 attempts in 2013 Brady threw a TD every 25.12 attempts in 2013 Bradford threw a TD every 28 attempts in 2015 Tebow threw more TDs per pass attempt in his first 16 games of playing time than all of them and scored 15 times rushing. Here is what they aren't telling you. Tebow was throwing 30-35% farther per completion with a lower completion percentage and scoring more often with fewer interceptions than all of these quarterbacks. The NFL FAILED to let the most decorated QB in NCAA history play a full season even after he won his conference and a playoff game, scored 34 times in his first 16 games of playing time, set an NFL playoff passing record and was voted an alternate to the pro bowl and a top 100 player of the year. He never started another game as a quarterback. Tebow scored more often and more often per pass attempt than every quarterback that has been played ahead of him and that includes Manning and Brady.

[@marselluswallace6]

This game is burned in my mind forever. It ruined my week lmao. Pretty sure we lost the next game by a close score as well. This season was quite traumatic if i remember correctly

[@dhoover5480]

Manning/Steve Young/Aikman/Elway all had worse first years as a starter statistically. But Elway threw him away and TT had no backing like the others listed. And nowadays sports analysts cut him to shreds. With time, and a line that gave better protection, he would have developed beyond his first 7-4 season with 1-1 in playoffs. Elway's was 4 -6 for comparison sake. DUH

[@nathaniellarson8]

Percy Harvin was something else!

[@rocjones6543]

He recently said he smoked weed before every game. LoL

[@williamcostanzo9237]

Weird that Tim Tebow and Christian Ponder both had decent stat lines in the same game

[@hotshotawb3923]

Dude got destroyed at 6:21! His ankles are in the stands

[@josiah3236]

Insane cut

[@isaac_emmel]

The most they were down by was 8 that’s not a takeover, it was back and forth the whole game

[@lukeneff8724]

Is that minshews brother in the thumbnail 🤣

[@ThatsMrTaylor2u]

Tebow has one less career playoff victory than Tony Romo. Let that sink in
