By all accounts, Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow behaves like a perfect gentleman, and the ideal teammate. But before he became the starting quarterback in Denver, his reaction — or, more accurately, his lack thereof — to the placement of a billboard lobbying for him to become the starting quarterback prompted a definite response from the other quarterbacks on the team.

According to Jeff Darlington of NFL Network, the other quarterbacks began fining Tebow four days after the billboard appeared, due to his silence regarding the billboard.

If Quinn and Orton tried to do that then they are bigger bitches than I originally thought.

This is a joke correct?

Can other players even do that?

Well Orton should be fined for moping on the sidelines, and Brady should be fined for that gay sweater..

I've heard of things like the Green Bay WR's having to buy all the other WR's a best buy gift card for every dropped ball during the game.

This just sounds stupid though.

You have to understand that every NFL player is filthy rich. They do things like this all in good fun. For example I remember Shawne Merriman as a rookie had to take the whole team out to dinner and pay for it.

Shawne Merriman too? I know Dez Bryant had to take his team out and buy them a bunch of wine bottles too, didn't know about Merriman.

Well, the whole fining thing was for fun, if its read entirely.

Personally, tho, i think TT did himself no favors by NOT speaking out against the billboard. Divisive, comes to mind.

Why would he have to speak out against fan support for him? He was penciled in as the starter before the season even began while Orton was shopped to other teams. Team didn't want him and the fans sure as hell didn't want him. In the end his ass was benched and cut.

Tebow sure as hell didn't have to speak out against it.

"Well, I guess I appreciate the support, you know, but we got people in charge here that we trust and trust they're going to do the right thing," Tebow said while advising the fans donate their money to his charity instead.

A group of Tebow supporters have said they'd like to buy two billboards in downtown Denver urging coach John Fox to bench Orton in favor of the former Florida star.

Tebow said he'd rather they donate the $10,000 to his charitable foundation.

Why speak out and cause even more issues? He said enough to begin with, no need to make it more a story than it already was. Media thrives on stuff like this, it would be just another excuse to make a big deal out of nothing.

not really...orton was benched, tebow was elevated to starter, and we went on a 6 game win streak to get into playoff position so actually tebow did the right thing by being the better man and keeping his mouth shut. its funny the so called captain in orton who was lead in this was later released while tebow mr divisive, starts for denver in a win and clinch the west Scenario, which also could result in a home playoff game.....
