For a 4th round draft pick?
What were the broncos thinking? Is that the best they could get?
Probably the best value they could get. There were very few teams interested in acquiring Tebow.
Probably. Not everyone thought he was a 1st rounder coming out of college. And players generally dont get traded for more than a 2nd, and that is if they are pretty dominant. Knowing that whoever took Tebow would be looking for at most a guy to compete as starter, I think 3rd or 4th would be realistic.
Yup.
Tebow's price plunged dramatically after the BRONCOS gave up on him.
But it's a great deal for the JETS!
Elway is proving to be a very bad front office guy, IMHO.
Wonder how Broncos fans feel about the fact that John Elway will now be the second best QB to ever wear a Broncos jersey?
They were thinking of duming Tebow. Elway just wanted the monkey off his back. He never liked Tebow and he would have paid a team a Denver 4th round pick to get rid of Tebow.
I’m sure it is not person. He just has no confidence that Tebow will ever be a great QB.
New York is the sports media capital of the world.
Every other day a New York player is on TV. Every other day last year, Tebow was on TV.
Tebow not being a New York player, be prepared for Tebow to be on TV every single day.
The NY media is going to dissect him 6 ways from Sunday. I am going to be very sick of hearing about Tebow, and I even like the guy and wish him the best.
Here’s to knowing Manning won’t make it half way through the season, and Denver will be scrambling again for a francise QB next year. If they ask nicely, maybe we will give them Alex Smith in 2 years, when Colin Kaepernick is ready to lead the 49ers back to the Superbowl.

The problem with Tebow is that because of his unique skill set and questionable drop back passing skills, a team would pretty much need to commit to making him the starter and rebuilding the whole offense around him. Plus, all the media hype is a lot to deal with, for a backup QB. It is not Tebow’s fault, but I think most teams were afraid to make this committment.
The Jets have periodically run a Wildcat offense, and they recently hired Tony Sparano as offensive coordinator, who ran it extensively at Miami. Because of this, the Jets can get production out of Tebow, without necessarily making him their starter, though I hope he eventually wins the job.
I haven't been a jets fan since the days of Joe Willie, but I'm gonna have to try harder now.
