A lot of that success in Denver was the defense shaving 15 points off their average allowed. He’s really not a good QB. His throwing motion is slow, his throws are inaccurate, he can’t read defenses. He runs well and he’s a hard gamer, should be an RB with the occasional gadget play. Somebody might still give him a shot, there’s plenty of teams with even worse QBs, but don’t expect much.

Correct.

his throws are inaccurate, he can’t read defenses.

Inability to read defenses and slow, inaccurate throwing might manifest itself in a high number of interceptions but that wasn't the case for Tebow in Denver.

Another factor that has to be considered is the number of times when in the pocket he was hurried, hit, or sacked and how quickly the defenders were able to put pressure on him. It wasn't as if after standing in the pocket for 5 seconds he'd be sacked. In some games defenders were getting to Tebow in under 2 seconds.
