Tebow has been lucky in many respects. One or two plays here and there and he could be 1-4 instead of 4-1 as a starter. But the bottom line is that he is 4-1. Part of the magic, I believe, is what Tebow brings to the game and to his teammates - hope (not the Obama hope). He is a leader who is making his teammates believe that a team with less talent than many other teams can actually win. He inspires them to give their all because he gives his all. Tim Tebow adds a dimension that can't be readily explained. He makes those around him better. That is a key to success, and I hope it continues.

Broncos outplayed the Jets the entire game. That was what I saw. I didnt see a guy who “stumbled into a game”. First play from scrimmage was a great pro level pass, they went on from there.

Tebow won, in my view, because at the end he was willing to do whatever it took to win. He wanted it more. the jets couldnt respond and were dazed by the intensity the broncos showed on the last drive.

thats the story, not religion.

I agree wholeheartedly with DFU. Tebow is a winner. Winners win with expertise, grace, luck and determination.

[dfwgator]

All he does is win.

[FatherofFive]

All Tebow has done is win at every level.

He is a special kid with many talents.

I wish he could learn to throw a football.

[capt. norm]

DFU, my hat is off to you for this post.

Very well stated.

'Nuff said old FRiend.

You should hear Champ Bailey talk about Tebow. That guy has seen it all and done it all in this league. He talks about Tebow the same way you do.

I don't know what Tebow's long term future is, but he is a smart guy who will work his butt off to remedy his shortcomings.

All that said, it is Denver's defense that is winning games. They are keeping games close enough to win in "Tebow Time." Keep your eye on Von Miller, a rookie linebacker who is already playing like a Pro Bowler.

Luck is when it happens once.

When it happens again and again, there’s a pattern.

[GSWarrior]

Tebow has something special, but I was more impressed with Denver’s defense, especially Von Miller.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I'm just tickled pink to see the triple option play resurrected in the NFL. It adds so much depth to an offense and an additional 'Wow' factor to the game.
Of course, a team needs a QB who is a master at it with the tools to execute properly. Tebow has those tools.

For 13 rounds, Jersy Joe Walcot pulverized Rocky Marciano but with one blow Rocky won. That is what Tebow is. A guy who never gives up no mater what.

To me, the two best parts of the game were when the Jets coach was just walking down the sidelines shaking his head after Tebow ran it in for a touchdown, as if he was saying to himself "Damned if we didn't just allow ourselves to be Tebowed". The second best part, was ALL the talking head know-it-alls on the panel picked the Jets to win, in the pregame show. And they seemed real sure of it.

I’ll give my take on Tebow’s praying and thanking his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is not praying for a victory or thanking the Lord after a victory. God does not wear a particular team’s jersey on game day. He is praying for and giving thanks for the Lord giving him all his blessing. He prays so that he will be inspired, win or lose, to be the best he can be and cause his teammates to be the best they can be.

Tim Tebow adds a dimension that can't be readily explained.

Well, it's certainly not his passing game, that's for sure. That said, he has heart, and he certainly ran the option well.

I'm glad he won and all, being a Patriots fan, but Tebow has a LOT to prove before he can be considered an average NFL quarterback, let alone an elite one.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

For those who claim all he has is luck, I go to the words of Thomas Jefferson: I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.

[Alex Murphy]

Tebow has been lucky in many respects. One or two plays here and there and he could be 1-4 instead of 4-1 as a starter. But the bottom line is that he is 4-1.

If I had some eggs, I could make some bacon and eggs - if I had some bacon!

People can play "what if" all day long, and it wouldn't matter, because the only record Tebow actually has is 4-1.

[NormsRevenge]

They get a Checkmark under ‘Intangibles ‘ with him at the helm. Elway is definitely enjoying the ride..

[Alberta's Child]

Part of the "magic" is that Denver has been playing teams that seem to be hell-bent on self-destruction.

I love Tebow's attitude and approach, but he simply isn't a bona fide NFL quarterback despite the 4-1 record. Against the Chiefs last weekend, he completed 2 of 8 passes. That's a QB line for an entire NFL game?! You must be kidding.

Last night he was 9 of 20, and the Broncos had scored a grand total of 3 offensive points before that final drive . . . and this despite the fact that Denver started five of their offensive possessions on the Jets' side of midfield up to that point.

Like I said ... I love the guy for his principles and attitude, but he's "living on borrowed time" as an NFL quarterback.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Imagine how the media would be singing the praises of Tebow IF HE WERE A MUSLIM.

Imagine, for a moment, if after every touchdown he screamed “Praise to Allah!” or bowed to Mecca. He would be interviewed, respected, and loved.

He is a Christian, and so he is mocked.

Accident? I don’t think so.
