Anybody that pays attention to football knows what the motives were. When given the choice between a Hall of Famer and nice guy that doesn’t really do the job well you pick the guy bound for Canton every single time. Sucks for the nice guy, but that’s life. And meanwhile there’s plenty of teams out there that aren’t in the hunt for the playoffs that will pickup a high profile popular player just because he puts butts in the seats.
For all we know, the Broncos were embarrassed by the attention/controversy generated by Tebow's outspokeness.
Given the nature of the NFL and Tebow's performance last season I don't think its unreasonable to have suspicions.
But this Hall of Famer has a very chancey neck injury, is 36 and sat out the last season...
so you throw over a QB who got you to the play-offs, however inconsistently ????
