But again with his demonstrated complete lack of ability to read a defense pre-snap his trajectory doesn’t matter. He’s simply not good enough at the game for his handedness to be an issue. If anything it’s just another reason why he should stop trying to be a QB.
One of 8 passes being dropped doesn’t matter. The news is 8 passes. Even if they were all completions it’s still only 8 passes. If he was any good they’d be having him throw more.
But Orton’s lack of winning wasn’t on him. Again, the Denver defense shaved 15 points off their points allowed after Tebow started. If the Denver defense is playing that well in the beginning Orton goes 4-1. It’s easy to win football games when your defense is only allowing 13. It’s hard when they give up 29.
Away games don’t matter for revenue. The 20% of the non-luxury box gate that doesn’t go to the home team is pooled and split among the teams at the end of the year. Anything Tebow added to away game revenue got divided by 32, Denver probably didn’t make enough “extra” from Tebow to fuel up the plane for 1 trip home.
“Extra few million” minus an 11 million dollar salary equals at best zero. Had they waited until the second round they could have paid him half as much and still gotten whatever benefit he added to the take.
Broncos ratings don’t matter. The league makes 3.08 billion dollars a year on the TV contracts (which then gets divvyed up among the teams, in general the team portion is enough to pay the salary cap). Those contracts were span 2006 through 2013, they’ve already been renewed and in 2014 the league starts making 4.95 billion. Couple extra ratings points here or there for a Tebow game isn’t changing the revenue picture of the league or the team.
Understand an NFL team is a billion dollar enterprise. $10 million here or there isn’t changing anything. Especially not for a team like the Broncos. They’re one of the most popular teams in the league. Drafting Tebow was a mistake, he’s not a good player, he got the coach fired, and any monetary benefit is couch change for an NFL tea.
What!! He got the coach Fired? Not a good player? He threw for 316 yards in a playoff game. Give him a year running the show and let it play out. If he fails after being giving the chance then I agree he needs to move on. Looks like Jacksonville will be the place.
Wow you’re delusional. Daniels got himself fired. How stupid to blame Tebow. Utterly ridiculous.
