First you say: “The Broncos were winning in spite of Tebow, not because of him.”

Then you say about the quarterback's performance: “And went 1-4 in Tebow’s last 5 starts.”

I see what you did there.

Still, Tebow was 8-5 as a Denver starter, which is well above an average NFL quarterback. Of course to some, there are more important things than winning in the NFL.

To an NFL team there is nothing more important than winnng.

That wasn't me.

Yes, in theory Denver could have finished 1-4 despite Tebow. But in looking for factors that changed between his 7-1 start and his 1-4 finish, one thing leaps out: the unfamiliarity of Tebow's style of QBing, which of course declined with time and accumulating game tape. I'm certainly open to hearing alternative explanations for Denver's downward trend over those 13 games.

More precisely, Denver was 8-5 with Tebow as a starter ... it remains a team game.
