Tebow had a few things to learn or figure out but he would have done it. The things Tebow brought to the game are unteachable: He's tall enough to see over and throw over linemen, heavily built and strong enough to be very difficult to tackle and very difficult to hurt, highly survivable with a fullback's running style when he runs with the ball, and a natural team leader and inspirational player. All of that is like raw punching power in a fighter, i.e. things which cannot be taught and which a guy like Peyton Manning cannot hope to learn.

He walked into a 1 - 4 situation and totally turned that team around and took it to playoffs, actually winning one playoff game.

John Elway may have had a brain transplant from a chicken or something to make him want to get rid of this guy and pay any sort of a price for Peyton Manning.

Bingo! Why spend over $15 million a season on a position player who STILL did not win you a Super Bowl ring? It was a waste of money. What Denver needed was a secondary and an offensive line. Keep Tebow another season and draft for the future or bring in a mid priced free agent if you aren’t sold. It was a stupid managerial decision.

When the Cards were sniffing around Manning I was praying management would buy a clue and pass on this choke artist. Thankfully we couldn’t afford what he was asking for. Sure it got Ken Wisenhunt fired, but ultimately we got a better coach when we brought in Bruce Arians.

Manning is simply a choke artist in big games. Puts up gaudy stats, but can’t close the deal when it counts.
