Said the guy named "AA". Maybe you are drunk at the keyboard. You expose yourself as the same kind of backward looking type as Elway by making the same arguments that Elway and this libtard Rick guy do, instead of thinking about what Tebow could do, under a system set up for what he brings to the table.
Elway rushed for over 3400 yards in his career.
So, about 200 yards a season? 13 yards a game. That's not rushing, it's once or twice a game avoiding the sack and picking up a few yards. Are you kidding me? In Tebow, you combine a 1000 yard a season rusher, if he was an RB, with a guy who has a great arm and has shown he can put the ball where he wants to deep downfield--as Pittsburgh found out. Defenses aren't set up to stop the run in a no-back or one back offense. With Tebow, that becomes a 2 back offense that is also in a passing set. It changes the equations that defenses live and die by. The main drawback to it, though, is the risk of injury to your QB. If he is a key runner, and you lose him, you have issues. You now have to bring in a QB that is probably a standard QB, and the team has to run an entirely different playbook. That is a reason for concern, sure. But not Tebow's supposed inability to play QB. That opinion is more an indicator of an inflexible mindset.
That's why everybody in the league is breaking down the Broncos door to get Tebow, right?
The coaches I mentioned have already got QBs that they have made into winners, so don't need Tebow. Some team will pick him up and if he has a coach who is willing to put in a system that works with Tebow's skill set, then they will do well. Other coaches who adapted well to their QBs were Andy Reid with Michael Vick, and Rex Ryan with Sanchez. Sanchez, in particular, would have been as big a failure as Smith if he had not been allowed to grow with what he had. If Tebow gets someone that thinks that they have to completely change him into John Elway, then it probably won't work. He may get better on some mechanics, but he will probably never be a good QB if forced to play as a standard dropback QB. His success can come by his ability to unbalance the defense. Elway never wanted to figure out a way to make that work, because he can't see beyond his comfort zone. The nattering nabobs of the NFL don't like Tebow for the same reason that the elites hate Sarah Palin, he threatens them and their world view by the attraction that the public has for him. So they have to tear him down, where a Joe Flacco, with lesser skills and lesser potential is not. subjected to the constant ridicule. Sad to see so many on FR buy into that load of crap spewed by the far left sports media.
Wow you’re way off in crazy land. Flacco has a higher completion percentage, higher yards per pass, and fewer fumbles. And also Flacco takes tons of heat for uneven play. Tebow takes heat because his stats stink, period:

He doesn’t challenge anybody’s belief, he’s just not a good QB. Those are fact, not leftist media anything. Nice guy, bad QB, read the stats.
It's actually A.A., genius. An abbreviation of Alfred Austell which is something that the public education system that whelped you never exposed you to.
With an assinine statement like that you have no business questioning anyone else's abuse of alcohol, gomer.
under a system set up for what he brings to the table.
How many option teams have made it to let alone won a Super Bowl? Tebow is a disaster as a quarterback and he won't be a long term successful one in the NFL. Just look at how he was defensed in the final three regular season games last year. Games in which the Broncos were 0-3.
In Tebow, you combine a 1000 yard a season rusher,
For how many seasons? He won't survive physically for very long if he's running the ball that much. Look at the beating he took against New England in January. If he keeps trying to take on 300 pound lineman and 275 pound linebackers his career will last about as long as Gale Sayers' did.
with a guy who has a great arm
Great arm? Put that crack pipe down.
and has shown he can put the ball where he wants to deep downfield--as Pittsburgh found out.
Tebow can throw downfield inconsistently at best as he repeatedly demonstrated last season. He also wouldn't be throwing against a sieve like Ike Taylor every week either.
That opinion is more an indicator of an inflexible mindset.
That's a reality based on Tebow's lack of ability as a drop back pocket passer.
Elway never wanted to figure out a way to make that work, because he can't see beyond his comfort zone.
The fact that they benched Orton and cobbled together an option/spread offense that Tebow could crudely manage; that teams eventually figured out how to defend - rewatch the final three ganmes of the season to refresh your memory - instead of giving the nod to Quinn proves you wrong. Tebow was a novelty and that became fairly evident as the season wore on. Denver was extremely fortunate to win seven games in the regular season with Tebow as QB, despite his ineptness. He's long on heart but short on skills.
The nattering nabobs of the NFL don't like Tebow for the same reason that the elites hate Sarah Palin,
That's absurd. The proof is in Tebow's numbers and his overall performance. Again, where are all the teams clamoring for Tebow's services if he's such a catch?
Other coaches who adapted well to their QBs were Andy Reid with Michael Vick, and Rex Ryan with Sanchez.
How many Super Bowls have the Jets and the Eagles won with Ryan/Sanchez and Reid/Vick?
Quit drinking the Tebow kool-aid, kid. You emote like a liberal.
