Rock-You're completely out of touch.. This isn't the 50's anymore-Most of these players are ghetto puffers who spend their time with thugs and prostitutes in strip clubs..They aren't inspired by some Ned Flanders, Dudly Do Right Dork from North Florida. In fact I would imagine they laugh at him so he ain't inspirering anybody in the NFL
I think they could throw the Packers a huge curveball if they started Tebow this Sunday. But they won't and will be crushed. I'll be listening from the upper south lot at Red Rocks before the show.
Well, if Tebow stinks up the practice field, then Orton stinks up the 4th quarter on game fields. The following stat is something very telling.
Orton's three interceptions bring his season total to six, with half in the fourth quarter of games. He also lost a fumble in the fourth quarter of the season opener.

Yes, then you'll see Brady Quinn or someone else that is not even on the Bronco roster right now. Take it from a guy that played 6 years and coached 7 winning two Carnation Bowls..A coach cannot tell his team that "the best players will play, accept at the quarterback position"..He just cannot do that without becoming a joke.
I realize there are some people who are "experts" in their own mind and thus condemn Tebow. However, once gain, come game day and given any chance to play, the lad comes through, almost to the rescue of Orton. Yes, it is Tebow, not Quinn who followed Orton the the field. It is Tebow, not Orton with the higher passer rating. Those of you who saw the game (I didn't) can better comment than I, but it seems obvious that Tebow had not quite enough time to deliver his gamer play. I suspect, Fox is taking notes and we will see more and more of Teabow sooner as Orton fails to deliver in the games ahead. Even if he plays, Orton is not increasing his trade value, so might as well go with Tebow. I see in early game reports that Tebow played the entire 2nd half. Again my hat off to the self proclaimed expert who sees anyone but Tebow as a viable QB for Denver.
You see Rock..You know about rocks, dirt and sub strata, I know about football, so trust me, it was a horrible performance..I'll break it down for you - He came in at garbage time and knowshon Marino took a 2 foot screen pass for a 50 yard touchdown, Tebow fumbled 3 snaps, underthrew 5 recievers, and got scared and ran outta the pocket another 7 times. He was a total desiaster.
And 40% ain't gonna get it in the NFL, never has, never will
Tebow looked a little rusty, but I think he inspires the offense more than Orton. And Orton has a hard time coming back from behind. Good call Coach Fox.
