Said the guy named "AA".

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.

Elway had no mobility.

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.

Elway was a great QB.
Manning was a great QB and may still be.
Tebow is still unproven, he has great heart that you cannot teach, he may prove to be great one day.

For Elway though, many and I am one, think this personnel decision is at least as much personal as it is about football.

Dear Alfred Austell Cunningham, namesake of esteemed Marine Corpse (heheheh) aviator:

You are stupid, vulgar, uninformed, probably drunk and high, crazy, lazy, and I doubt you ever played a down of football in your life. You sure know very little about it, aside from perhaps yelling from the stands at real coaches in drunken fits of rage. Moron, cretin, dung beetle. Pusilanimous pile of putrid pustules.

In your last post I was "whelped" by a "public education", "assinine", named "gomer", have a "crack pipe", "drinking the kool-aid" and "emoting like a liberal".

In your first post to me, you wondered what I had been smoking, which is why you got the response about your clearly alcohol-induced delusions.

The rapidity with which you descend into insults and vulgarity is surpassed only by the depth of your lack of knowledge about football. Now that the insults have been dispensed with, let me just say that I disagree with all that you have to say as well as the manner in which you say it. I am not a fan of Tebow's because of his religious views, although I think it makes him a better person than you and pretty much everyone in the NFL. I enjoy watching him because of his ability to bring the running game back to the QB position, and I think it is something that just might work, if given a chance. I am not talking about running the option, although some of the plays would have options and reads. I think the criticism of his throwing is overblown, as is the reliance on stats instead of watching the games. I have seen many young QBs come into the league who miss a lot of throws and don't look good early on. Some get better and make it; some don't. None of them, with the exceptions fo Cam Newton and Michael Vick, could run like Tebow. Few of them have his heart, and his infectious spirit.

For those factors, and more, it disturbs me when he is subjected to ridicule, criticisms and outright hatred that I have not seen dispensed towards other young QBs just starting out. I try to look for the source of that antagonism. In most cases, it is a world view that is offended by the existence of someone who thinks like Tebow. In yours, assuming you are in fact a conservative and not an operative here to sow discord, it must be because you simply don't understand football well enough to see what could be. You only know what you hear and are told. In that, you are like those who get their opinions by reading the daily paper and catching the hourly news updates on the radio. Ill-informed.

Now, AA, if you have more vulgarities,names, put-downs, etc., please feel free to express them together with your non-substantive response. I so enjoy a virtual marine's colorful use of our language.
