I know this is obvious to most but I haven't seen much of the Broncos in the last few years. With the champs on a bye I got Det-Den as the local game. Tim Tebow looks terrible. He shouldn't be playing QB. Maybe TE or reciever. He is a good football player but as a QB his mechanics are terrible.

But he's a winner! Of course, except for today, when the Broncos are getting their asses beat.

This is Tim Tebow's fifth NFL start. He's 2-3 in his career, with the two wins by a combined four points.

He's a game away from .500. That's pretty good.

Crazy stat! NE hasn't had a successful onside kick since 1994! What! That's crazy and might explain the pathetic attempt today. Too bad Pitt's win wasn't in Foxboro. I'm tired of hearing about their "home winning streak." The most meaningless streak in sports. 0-2 in the playoffs last two years in Foxboro. You know Belichick & Brady don't recognize that streak. I don't get why the media makes such a big deal about it.

Polamalu!

Tremendous performance today, Tim.

Tremendous performance today, Tim.

Detroit D got me many a points today.

And playing Tebow is good for you guys. Everybody can see how much he sucks so you guys can draft a QB. If he wasn't playing, fans would still be chirping for Tebow to come in. It's not like Denver is a playoff team with or without him anyway.

I would not be surprised if one of the reasons they were so quick to put Tebow in for Orton was to shut the fans up when they see how much Tebow sucks. Not one bit.

Same. The Johns have no connection to Tebow they can ditch the dude whenever they want. And it might be this Spring.

Kobie on the record as a Tebow believer

The Dallas Cowboys have serious issues.

As Biblical figures go, Broncos Tim Tebow most often is compared to the Main Character of the New Testament (whose middle initial may or may not be “H”). As Tebow’s pro football career is going, perhaps he’s best likened to one of the many leading men of the Old Testament.

Job.

Tebow is facing a torrent of criticism after Sunday’s butt-ugly loss to the Lions, both from within Denver and from the team that dismantled Tebow and the Broncos.

An unnamed Lions defender shared this assessment of Tebow with Mike Silver of Yahoo! Sports: “Can you believe 15? Come on – that’s embarrassing. I mean, it’s a joke. We knew all week that if we brought any kind of defensive pressure, he couldn’t do anything. In the second half it got boring out there. We were like, ‘Come on – that’s your quarterback? Seriously?’”

Defensive end Cliff Avril was a bit more restrained. “As long as he felt our pressure, he was gonna make crazy decisions.”

And defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, referring to a controversial Friday headline from NFL.com that couched the Lions-Broncos game as a battle of good vs. evil, put it, “Evil prevails.”

As explained in the Week Eight Monday 10-pack, it’s time for the Broncos to begin planning the next chapter of the Book of Tebow. And if the goal is for the Heisman winner to continue playing football in the NFL, the story will begin with an exodus to a new position.
