Sources say thet Tebow may get the start

[Bill Devaroe]

Hi Clones,
I am currently tweeting that my sources have told me that Tim Tebow may get his first start of the year in Oakland. If he does not get the start, Orton will be on a short leash. Due to Ortons rib injury, he has been limited in practice, and Tebow has been getting the majority of the Reps.

It is tebow time.
Thanks for the vine,
Bill Devaroe:elefant:

[honz]

Checking with my sources. Let you know what I hear in a minute.

[Ravage!!!]

Ok. thats it. I'm calling Tebow right now, and I'll just give you guys the heads up after our conversation

[Ravage!!!]

btw.. worst poll ever!! :lol:

[Dzone]

Yeah, that poll is a tie. I think Elway and TD are a tie for best ever Broncos with Floyd Little 2nd. No Floyd Little on that poll. Come on! He was numero Uno for a long time.

[honz]

My sources cannot confirm this, but there are rumblings around Dove Valley today.

[Montana Battlin Bear]

That is no poll without steve atwater on it.

[Montana Battlin Bear]

or even Rod Smith? Come on man

[vandammage13]

Eddie Mac?

[honz]

Just noticed the poll. Where's Tebow?

[slim]

I checked my sources. They said "Concentrate and ask again".

[dogfish]

why isn't glenn cadrez in this poll, this is an outrage!

[broncofaninfla]

Where's Jarvis Green? He gets my vote.....

[Dzone]

Maybe it should be the best 10 broncos ever.
elway, TD, Zimm, Flyd, rich Jackson, nalen, atwater, Champ, louis wright, rod smith
OK, thats 10
Oh, and randy Gradishar has to be on it. Ok, I will replace nalen w Gradishar

[BroncoStud]

Darryl Gardner? Eddie Kennison? Maurice Clarrett? This poll is missing all the greats.

[Dzone]

Jim Rome is really talking a lot about Tebow today...Hes totally for starting Tebow "Give the guy the rock."

[slim]

You should replace Champ instead.

[BigSarge87]

Alex English should have at least got an honorable mention. LOL

[Dzone]

Rome said :Tebow will give more effort than anyone his teammates will ever see.

[Dzone]

Darryl Gardner? Eddie Kennison? Maurice Clarrett? This poll is missing all the greats.

Dale carter, javon walker, travis henry...truly legendary ...flops lol

[Dzone]

Tebow has a warrior heart and warrior leadership...thats what we will see if he plays sunday...Bronco fans will be glued

[HORSEPOWER 56]

Where's Jarvis Green? He gets my vote.....

Jarvis Green hell! Jarvis MOSS, FTW! :werd:

[tomjonesrocks]

Guess I will DVR the game in case. Last week against Cleveland was one of the most boring games I have ever seen. The last Raiders matchup wasn't a good expenditure of time either.

[Ravage!!!]

well..if Jim Rome says it...... gotta be true

[Jagsbch]

It is tebow time. :beer:

[Bill Devaroe]

I sense that a lot of you are being sarcastic. However for my 2 cents I think it has to come down to Jerry Rice or Elway. Elway was the duke, but I think Jerry Rice had a better overall body of work. Why is he not a ring of famer??????

[T.K.O.]

bubby brister,or the 3 amigos ?

i dunno maybe cause he wasnt on the team past preseason....kinda think actually playing in a bronco game might be a prerequiset:laugh:

[vandammage13]

Rome said :Tebow will give more effort than anyone his teammates will ever see.

I can guarantee that at least you won't see Tebow assume the fetal position at the first sight of a DLineman coming free.

[Bill Devaroe]

He was still a bronco. Give him his due.

[arapaho2]

He was still a bronco. Give him his due.

he was in camp....to be a bronco you actully have to be on the team..he wasnt

[slim]

He was still a bronco. Give him his due.

I agree Bill.

Although I was a little disappointed that Tony Dorsett did make your list. I think he should at least be in the discussion.

[BroncoStud]

Jerry Rice had a great career with the 49ers and the Raiders, he didn't even play a regular season down the Broncos...

Obviously Elway is the ultimate Denver Bronco, but there are a number of guys who deserve to be mentioned as all-time great Broncos. Tom Jackson (for his work on the field and as a Bronco HOMER on ESPN), tons of lineman, Little, Sharpe (retired the all-time receptions leader at TE in NFL history), TD, Easy Ed, Rod Smith, Steve Atwater, Mecklenburg, Elam, so many guys... Most of which are not on your list lol.

I really don't see how it matters. If the greatest player in NFL history was also a bronco, then hence he is the greatest Bronco ever. Period.

[BroncoStud]

I disagree. Great in NFL history doesn't equate to being great for a specific team. Jerry Rice contributed nothing to the Denver Broncos other than some additional media attention and a few Preseason games. He was a great player, but he wasn't a great Bronco.

[robert ethan]

Looks like we all have the same "sources". Namely pretty much every news agency covering the Broncos for the past week.

[BroncoWave]

Wow, Bill really has the fish biting today! :lol:

Some people REALLY need to pick up sarcasm detectors.

[Dzone]

Jerry rice finishing his career here was a lot like Johnny Unitas finishing as a Charger, Joe Namath finished as a LA Ram...nobody thinks of them as chargers or rams...Jerry Rice was a49er

[hotcarl]

I agree Bill.

Although I was a little disappointed that Tony Dorsett did make your list. I think he should at least be in the discussion.

came here to post this. also bill, i think orson mobley deservese some consideration.

voted for elam - he is the highest scorer :welcome:

[Dzone]

Hey how about Riley Odoms

[hotcarl]

i disagree, and this has nothing to do with whoever those people are you are talking about, jerry rice is considered the G.O.A.T. and therefore is the broncos goat. END OF STORY

[I Eat Staples]

I find the lack of Travis Henry disturbing.

[WARHORSE]

Man, what is your definition of "great"?

Greatest Broncos Ever..... Josh McDaniels.

[TXBRONC]

why isn't glenn cadrez in this poll, this is an outrage!

Screw that, any poll that doesn't have Lonnie Perrin on it is useless and illegitimate.

[CrazyHorse]

Jerry Rice, because he accomplished so much in a Broncos uniform.:lol:

[Dzone]

Sammy Winder should be in the ring of fame along with Bobby Humphrey. Both should have their numbers retired

[Dzone]

I really don't see how it matters. If the greatest player in NFL history was also a bronco, then hence he is the greatest Bronco ever. Period.
Put Jerry Rice in the Broncos Ring of Honor at Invesco field. Lets claim him as our own

[tomjonesrocks]

Well, I remember both being better than Knowshon, so...

:behindsofa:

[Dzone]

Im guessing Richard Seymore is coming from the RDE position against Clady. Is Seymore the Raiders best pass rusher?

They also have Rolando Mclain. As far as I know, Mclain has been playing pretty good for a rOOKIE. Probably better than R Ayers

[Dzone]

We should be able to run on Oakland

Here is Williamsons take on Tebow:

[Dzone]

Sandy Clough just said "Its a virtual certanty now that Tim Tebow will start sunday against the Raiders"

[Juriga72]

True... of his 1549 catches,22,684 yards and 193 touchdowns.....NONE came as a bronco!!!!

Sign him...he's a BEAST

[BroncoTech]

I heard Mcnabb might start in Oakland since he has Sundays off in Washington.

My favorite Bronco? Tony Dorsett, his 703 yards were crucial.

[pnbronco]

Well considering Kyle could not even skip yesterday in the warm ups, it's looking like it's Tebow time. Please O line protect the kid.....

Now it really aggravates me that Bismarck/Minot chose to show the Jets/Steelers game instead of BRONCOS/Raiders game!:tsk:

Heck at least Iget to see some "Good games"...LOL Thank god I have the NFL package here.

[broncofaninfla]

Sure wish Tebow recieved more reps during the season. The revelation of recieving literally none so far in practice makes me think the kid could very well come out of the gate a little rusty. Would also feel better if we had a REAL QB coach tuturing him right now. Elway, you busy?? Regardless I'm excited to see the kid and am happy to see anybody not named Orton at QB for Denver.

After hearing what Elway said of him not being prepped to play during the season and the fact that he's simply very, very raw it's going to be virtually impossible for him to succeed in any manner.

I think best case he just shows a few flashes of talent. Making a play out of nothing here and there, gaining yards on the ground, showing leadership. Showing somehow through pure ability that he's not totally outclassed in this league.

If Tebow actually does *well* after Elway being "shocked" by how poorly he has been prepared up to this point perhaps he really will be a superstar.

The trick will be resisting the urge not to totally write him off if he goes out there and goes 6 for 28 for 80 yards and 3 interceptions or something.
