Denver gave him a very real shot. Go look at his numbers from 2011 and tell me there's a hint of greatness there. 18 total TDs, 12 turnovers.



Tell me...what did he do that season?

He won, plain and simple. Took the Broncos to the playoffs for the first time in years and got past divisional round in standard Tebow fashion.

He was 24 as well. Absolutely zero shot a kid that age could possibly improve under a good QB coach, you're right. Never happens

I guess the other 52 guys on the roster had zero to do with that, right? Standard Tebow fashion was let the defense play lights out for 3.5 quarters and then pull something out of his arse. Usually getting to the 40 yard line and let Prater kick a 50 yard field goal.

You let the fact that they made the playoffs cloud the fact that they went 0-3 to finish the regular season 8-8, and needed the Chargers to beat Oakland to even make the playoffs.

Anyone who thinks Denver would have been in the Super Bowl last year with Tebow is deluding themselves.

You can lose the condescending tone and still make your point.

His numbers were terrible. When your numbers are that terrible, the team is winning despite you, not because of you.

33rd in completion percentage
27th in QB rating

Denver was 31st in passing yards

Didn't they make the playoffs at 7-9 after losing their last 4 games?
