Tebow is a crappy QB by today’s NFL standards.

But he is a GREAT football player, and that is all he really needs to be right now.

It’s not as if Tebow has a decent offensive line, and offensive weapons to work with, maybe other than McGahee, when he’s healthy.

And at least he doesn’t throw interceptions like Orton was.

That's probably the best description I've ever seen of Tebow.

He was an awesome college quarterback, but unfortunately he played a position where success at the collegiate level is the most difficult to translate to success at the NFL level.

I'm not so sure. It was interesting last night when they compared Tebow's first 8 games to John Elway's first 8 games. Tebow beats him in every stat (wins, yardage, TD's, fewer interceptions, etc.). Eight games a career does not make, but I'd say the young man is off to a splendid start, and I, for one, appreciate his open faith.

It's good to know that God loves Him some Broncos!

Used to be, any team that couldn't run a Packers sweep or a Browns sweep with pulling guards, just wasn't a bona fide offense. Times change. No law says tou have to pass 30 times a game to be a winner.

The only formula for the NFL that has been tried and true forever is this: a defense that can stop the run, an offense that can run the ball. That is all there is to the game of football, and all there ever will be.

What do the following names have in common? Doug Williams; Jeff Hostetler; Mark Rypien; Trent Dilfer.

That's right, they were all quarterbacks who won a SuperBowl. That should tell you how important the throwing skill of the quarterback is.
