Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know he's not a bronco anymore. but i'm posting this tebow story in here because it has some insights to his time with the team that i'd never read before (like his inability to remember the plays his coaches told him to run).
enjoy.

I had heard about the issues with the playbook before but this article is a good one. This paragraph pretty much sums up might feelings on it as well.
Even now, after Tebow cleared waivers unclaimed and with members of his camp privately admitting that his NFL run is probably over, the football world remains as divided as ever over him. It's nearly impossible to find a teammate who will say anything bad about Tebow as a person -- or a scout who will say anything good about him as a player. But the sports masses mostly side with the NFL personnel people. It's embarrassing and exhausting to discuss him, which makes it official: Tim Tebow has jumped the shark.

I really thought he would get better as a passer. I was wrong.

After watching his QB special a while back, I didnt think he was too bright either. I think there's a place for him in the NFL. Not QB of course. The guy is big, strong, and got some speed on him. He should seriously consider a switch to defense.
Those Tebow faithfuls though....uuggh

Geez. Guess I'm lucky. Being this side of the pond I missed out on everything Tebow after he was no longer a Bronco.

He'd make a heckuva tight end IMO...if he can learn to read blitzes and whatnot.

I don't see why he couldn't. Some posters on here like to claim that he couldn't play TE since he has never done it and it would be tough to learn, but we see college QBs get drafted and switch to WR every year. If they can do it why can't Tebow?

The argument could be made that since he couldn't read a defense as a QB that played primarily in the shotgun there's no reason to believe he would be able to do it as a TE. Not saying I agree, just saying the argument could be made.

He could just go to the Browns. They can't seem to win with a "traditional" quarterback.
I don't buy that he can be a tight end. If a team uses him as some type of FB or something, then I would throw it with him a few times here and there.

That doesn't make him a good quarterback. It was a fun game, a strange, weird season, but he is, literally (not figuratively) one of the worst quarterbacks I have ever seen. And I'm not being hyperbolic as I'm wont to do. He WAS and IS that bad.

He has below average footwork and accuracy. He's a below average is quarterback. There are a lot of those in the NFL. Just like it is someone's opinion that he's an awful QB, it's my opinion that it's exaggerated. He's not as bad as some think. He's not as good as others think.

Cutler could've taken this team to places had McDaniels not interfered. Say what you will about his attitude and his tenure in Chicago but I believe the kid could have done awesome in the right situation. Cutler is still 2836x the QUARTERBACK Tebow is. And even mentioning Peyton in a Tebow comparison is just embarrassing.

I got nothing to do tonight, so I tuned into the Game Rewind of the Chicago game I was at, which I'd never watched.

I do feel bad for him. He may not be able to throw the ball, but he is too talented of an athlete not to be on an NFL roster in some capacity. I do hope he catches on in Canada or the AFL or something like that.
In a weird way he reminds me of Peyton Hillis as an athlete. I think he could be that type of running back if he were to try that position.
Turns out all the mean shit, or what we thought at the time was mean shit, that Merrill Hoge said was spot on.
Hoge did go out of his way to be a dick. I watched him almost get out of his chair to scream at someone else who defended Tebow. I really lost a lot of respect for Hoge at that point. It was during that winning streak as a Bronco IIRC.

The run Tebow helped the Broncos make was fun. The credit he got for the run was pathetic.
If Tebow could pass at all he would still be a QB in the NFL. He can't. He was the worst passing QB I've ever seen in the NFL.
This was a good article and I'm glad it was posted so I could read it.

It amazes me how a pathetic quarterback who CAN'T pass can win football games in the NFL. I guess it's a good thing we had luck. I would think the NFL would be tough enough that a quarterback of his caliber wouldn't be able to win like he did. Crazy stuff. I just don't see how any quarterback with a halfway decent arm could fail. Yet they do. I guess there's not enough luck to go around. I sure hope our Broncos get some luck, because last year was nothing short of a disappointment. Does anyone have a four leaf clover?

I don't really care one way or another. It was a fun ride that year he started the last few games and that playoff win ranks pretty high in my book (in terms of excitement).
That said, I'm glad he and is fanfare is not here. I wonder, though, if Manning would have come here had we not made the playoffs. I don't think we would have with Orton remaining the starter.

I don't t hink the playoff win was anything to Manning's consideration. He could see, just as much as everyone else, the luck that was involved around those wins... and especially that win. It's not like our team looked GOOD, and our offense was pathetic.
Now I know you will say "yeah, but that shows we could win with a pathetic QB"....but I think Elway, and Elway's vision, was what brought Manning here.

Luck does happen, and is needed to be successful for a season in th eNFL. But it doesn't sustain. Tebow used up a decade worth as the starter.

Well he sort of was. Some of the comments he made were as good as Tebow's quarterbacking. The stuff about how it was impossible to win with Tebow. He started once to talk about how Tebow lacked athleticism in a general sense once. He stopped. I was sad.
There were plenty of people who doubted Tebow's QB ability. Most of them were reasonable and didn't embarrass themselves on a daily basis. Hoge was not one of them. His Tebow take coupled with his completely average "analysis," makes him as useful as a train without tracks.

This is the problem with the Tebow fans.
He ran an offense that was not usual in the NFL. It succeeded in large part because of that. He is a hell of an athlete. We also had other RB's and an outstanding defense.

How do you mean? You understand when you join the military that you are subject to the UCMJ. Most times your charges for a DUI at an NJP are for failure to follow a lawful order, etc, etc.
You're held to a higher standard in the military. So, yes, it's fair in my opinion.
Think about it like this King... Say you get a DUI. It shows in the local paper that a local man was arrested for DUI, stuck in the back of the paper with everyone else that screwed up. Now, a Marine gets a DUI, instead of "local man" it's "Marine Sergeant" gets DUI, it's on page two, and there's an accompanying chart showing how many Marines have been arrested by the local cops for all manner of things....
Now, that Marine has to serve 7 days in jail for the DUI, he misses a field op... Now he has to go to court ordered alcohol classes and has to stay behind while his unit goes to Afghanistan. The unit is now shorthanded on his job (we'll say supply clerk) causing the supply section to work longer hours in country to maintain the same level of service to the war fighters, etc.
There's a lot of reasons we hold and enforce a higher standard but first and foremost is accountability.

Squadron level (Battalion for me and Army) can double the punishment, I was assuming they'd handle it at the company level which really wouldn't make sense anyway. But the LtCol can take two ranks, which as an E3 would make him an E1... So he plans on maxing him eh? With today's cutbacks, etc, he won't be allowed re-enlistment when the time comes.

We don't have company. We have Officers in our squadron other than our Commander but they aren't in positions that allow then to dish out NJP. And right now the Air Force is doing date of separation rollbacks for people like this kid who have Article 15s, unfavorable information files, and/or a control roster placement (which prevents people from PCSing, testing for promotion, etc).

Really, so the LtCol is the lowest level with Art. 15 authority? That sucks.
We're doing the same thing, making it easier to force people out. Hell, if we have to shrink anyway the people who can't maintain standards should be the first to go.
The big push in the Marines, it seems, is seriously enforcing the weight standards and pushing out the chubby kids.

Just in our squadron. Other squadron commanders are Majors. If the commander is on leave and a captain or major is filling in during that time he would become the NJP authority. But my squadron is 700 people and divided up in to two different "Aircraft Maintenance Units" each with their own CoC, but ultimately NJP goes through the squadron commander.
So this guy just destroyed his military career?

We are going to go back to peace time personnel numbers with AF and IQ winding down...With that the fattys are expendable and the military can be a little more picky again about who gets in.
Remember at the height of Iraq, the Pentagon relaxed the standards on allowing people in with tattoos that would be visible while wearing the uniform (neck/hand tattoos)...They needed the bodies...Now they don't need them...
Once another conflict arises (which won't be long IMO), the fattys will be back.
