Now, if only the Denver Broncos and Elway would take a petition with 3,000 signatures as a sign that the fandom that is the Denver Broncos fans want him back. Maybe if they could muster up 76,000 (Mile High's seating capacity), they just might consider. 3,000 is pretty small bananas in the big scheme of things. :D

It's only been a few weeks. It's not like the thing has shut down.

Of course the draft will likely affect the course of the petition. I expect the signatures to go much higher if the Broncos don't draft a relatively high profile QB or trade for Kaep etc.

Why? What's more embarrassing than deciding between Brian Hoyer and RG3 as you next quarterback? We're already scraping the bottom of the barrel here. So why not give St. Timothy The Inaccurate one last chance? He wasn't going to beat out Peyton Manning but Manning is gone now and it would make a great story to see if Tebow could reclaim the job he one held?

Billboards or it didn't happen. ;) Sorry, a 30-year-old raw QB-in-training has "trainwreck" written all over it. Remember, he left here in a trade to a team trying to replace the QB we've got NOW; how'd that end? Guy had a lot of physical potential, but needed a LOT of work to develop it into practiced skill; he never found a coach to help him do that, and now it's officially too late.

Looking at all the people seriously suggesting we bring back Tebow or bring in Manziel sure does make Sanchez a lot more tolerable though....

Why? Will there be any evidence by then that Tebow's any more practiced than in 2011? We'll still be talking about what Tebow might (but probably would not) have THEORETICALLY done if we'd signed him. Win, lose or draw with Sanchez, Tebow will remain no more than a polarized guessing game.

It's not like he's spent every waking moment of the past 5 years on the practice field: He just got 5 years older. In 2012 I was not only willing but eager to see if his immense talent could be matched with great coaching to turn a raw inconsistent QB into an All Pro: I'm far less willing to do that in 2016.

No... there will be more evidence of how tolerable Sanchez is as the Broncos QB (or so it appears at this point). 2011 was fun. Will 2016 be? Ask me in 2017.

Sure, we'll know whether Sanchez was awful, awesome or something in between—we STILL won't know which one Tebow WOULD'VE been. We'll have a verdict on Sanchez, but CAN'T have one on Tebow. Regardless, here's the harsh reality:

1) Whoever one holds responsible, Elway and Tebows bridge to each other was completely and irreparably burned when the former traded the latter to the Jets after replacing him with Manning. They'll NEVER be part of the same team EVER again, and I'm 99.44% sure that's exactly how BOTH want it.

2) Even if all that weren't true, Tebow's washed up because 29 is too late to START learning how to be a pro QB. His window has closed forever.

I don't like people pushing their religion in my face with every play like Tebow. And all his fans talking endlessly how he's a "good Christian role model." Not everybody is a Christian.

But, if he'd been another John Elway, that would have been fine. As a Broncos fan I could tolerate that.

But, what was intolerable, was to have everybody talking all the time about this obvious "fraud, fake and loser" (to quote sports talk host Cecil Lammey) foisted on the Broncos. He won 1 game though luck and the ridiculous approach of the Steelers defense.

The very next week, he was literally crushed by the Patriots who showed the world how to defense the moronic Tebow offense. Elway came in and proved his brilliance by getting rid of that piece of trash at the earliest opportunity.

He was a liar and a self seeking huckster - which Elway learned. After bending over backwards to try and help trade Tebow to a team of his choice, working with Tebow's representatives to facilitate a trade to the Jets rather than Jacksonville, Tebow went out and threw Elway under the bus - insisting to reporters that he had no idea why he wound up in NY rather than Jacksonville.

In short he LIED, threw Elway under the bus so that the Broncos would be blamed for his winding up in NY rather than FL where he remains immensely popular from his college days.

Elway was and remains furious at Tebow. And Tebow did all this to maintain his "Gosh shucks" fraud personna. He didn't want anybody to know that he CHOSE NY over Jacksonville FL because it's a BIGGER MARKET.

He's a very calculating individual with a carefully crafted public image that is not at all genuine.

His "window" was closed forever in high school and college when he never learned proper footwork or throwing mechanics, and when he failed to learn to properly read defenses. In short, like the overwhelmingly vast majority of high school and college QBs he simply never developed the skill set needed to run a pro-style offense.

The NFL was willing to give him a chance because of his running ability, which enabled him to win a college championship, hoping that he could develop his skills, but he never did.

"It was bound to happen sometime.

With the defending Super Bowl champion Broncos in need of a starting quarterback and former Denver signal-caller Tim Tebow in need of an NFL job, it was only a matter of time before fans in the Mile High City started a petition to bring Tebow back.

The online petition, which was started on Change.org two months ago just before Peyton Manning's official retirement, had just less than 3,500 supporters as of early Thursday afternoon."

His "window" was closed forever in high school and college when he never learned proper footwork or throwing mechanics, and when he failed to learn to properly read defenses. In short, like the overwhelmingly vast majority of high school and college QBs he simply never developed the skill set needed to run a pro-style offense.

The NFL was willing to give him a chance because of his running ability, which enabled him to win a college championship, hoping that he could develop his skills, but he never did.
No, it would've taken a LOT of hard work and time from him and a capable coach, but his window hadn't closed by the end of HS, and he consistently demonstrated the physical talent and eagerness to commit the effort and time: He just never found a coach equally able and willing. McDumbass wasn't, Fox and Gase weren't, and Ryan and Schottenheimer weren't. The only coach who MAY have been willing and able was McCoy, and that resulted in Tebows ONLY good season, but it also got McCoy a job with a different team that already had a franchise QB, so that was the end of that. It's too bad, but it's also too late.


There is a verdict on Tim Tebow Joel. He's not good enough to play QB in the NFL at this point in time. The verdict was agreed upon by no less than 32 NFL GMs, owners, and head coaches.
Essentially. The problem is it means there's NO onfield performance from the last three years to cite as tangible evidence. There's good reason for that, but it allows his diehard fans to keep screaming, "You'd see how awesome he is if we just gave him a CHANCE!" the way they did in 2010 and 2011. Since proving a negative's impossible, it's already impossible to prove anyone hasn't or CAN'T done something (hence criminal presumption of innocence.) But when there's no physical evidence either way it's that much harder to prove anything, even if it's a self-evident axiom.

On the other hand, Occams Razor says the simplest explanation is usually correct, so what reason is there to believe ANYTHING'S changed since 2011? He had a long way to go then; what has he done to close the gap? A SINGLE season as a BACKUP QB under a defensive guru and mediocre OC? The only change is he's five years older: He still needs 2-3 year of nonstop work, and who wants to invest that hoping they'll end up with a 32-year-old franchise QB?

He's got a lot of physical tools that could be refined into a good QB. He has a winning record after being made the starter of a 1-4 team.

There's a lot of "facts" about his accomplishments that people tend to dismiss when claiming he simply can't be an NFL caliber QB.

He's got a lot of physical tools that could [have] be[en] refined into a good QB. He has a winning record after being made the starter of a 1-4 team.

There's a lot of "facts" about his accomplishments that people tend to dismiss when claiming he simply can't be an NFL caliber QB.

At this point in his life, it's probably over, but the 'what ifs' are still out there.
Sorry, had to edit the first line to bring it into compliance with the final one (and reality.) It went from "what ifs" to "what might have beens" about two years ago. No one's going to wait ANOTHER 2-3 years to see if a raw but talented 29-year-old QB can be developed into a starter by the time he's 32.

Will Tebow loyalist ever give up? (poor choice of words. "accept" would be a better choice. Will Tebow loyalist ever accept that he is not an NFL caliber QB?

Is it an example of delusion? Or is it simply stubbornness? Or, or, or, is it just faith at work?

I believe the Tebow hate was a tiny bit about how he played, and instead nearly completely a reaction to this overzealous fans that lived in some type of fantasy world. It was like the Ron Dayne fans, but 100 times more out of touch with reality and more annoying.

That's the hate. His fans invaded the NFL forums, radio shows, etc. and talked about him like he had already achieved enough to be a first ballot HOF'er, when instead he was a great runner and competitor, but had absolutely awful NFL QB skills.

That said, I really feel bad for Tebow, because if it wasn't for his fan base and the headaches that it brought, a team might have been willing to try and work with him on his passing skills.

I should add, I was in the south stands when Tebow completely the 80 yard TD pass to DT in OT against Pitt. It was a great game in general, and an amazing finish. I will always love Tebow's competitiveness and wish he had made it in the NFL.

I will also always remember being down on the field during warmups for the KC game that same season, and seeing Tebow overthrow (badly) half the receivers in warmups.
Side note, the WRs and TE's were warming up about 20' away that session, and I have to tell you that there is NOTHING you see on TV that gives you a sense of the beast that DT is. The other WRs looked like kids around him, and he made most of the TE's look small. I just wish he played to his size on the one on one matchups.

I don't understand why the word "hate" is used every time someone says they don't want a player on their team? I liked him for all the reasons that you listed, but there are a lot of other players who work just as hard who get cut because they’re not good enough. TT may have energized the fan base and game commentators (who's job it is to invent excitement even when none actually exists), but his teammates (especially on D) would bail him out game after game only for him to get all of the credit for the wins. The reality is that he usually only had 1 good drive each game, which was usually the last drive. No acknowledgement of the great job the D did to give him the opportunity to perform his “final drive magic” by the Tebois. Nor do they recognize the great plays his receivers had to make to bail him out because he couldn’t throw the simplest of passes on target.

Best of examples: Get NFL Gamepass & watch our last drive of the Jets game. In the 1st play of the drive, a combination Eddie Royal tremendous elusiveness &/or complete ineptitude in open field tackling by the Jets’ DB that sniffed the play out as soon as the ball was snapped overcame a bad pass by TT. Royal, standing inside his own end zone, had to jump up & catch the ball a split second before the DB should’ve wrapped him up & brought him down immediately. The refs would’ve given him forward progress to his own 1 because he was able to immediately lunge forward, which would’ve put us 2nd & 14 from our own 1. Instead, we got a 1st & 10 from just past our 20. Royal made that play, not TT who's poor throw made it necessary for Royal to make such a great play to avoid disaster. Nevertheless, the Tebois say that TT beat Sanchez that game.

Another example: The playoff game against the Steelers. TT did a good job in the 1st half exploiting a huge hole in their D due to 1 of their starting safties not playing that game. In the 2nd half, the Steelers’ D adjusted & shut him down. In OT, Demaryius Thomas caught a barely adequately thrown short pass & out ran the entire Steelers’ D for the 80 yard game winning TD. Who do the Tebois give 100% of the credit to? TT. If they understood that football is a team sport, & therefore acknowledge everything TT’s teammates did to win those game, they’d realize what all 32 NFL GMs & HCs have figured out a long time ago. TT had very little to do with those wins.

He wasn't a good man. He was a lying hypocrite, as Elway found out. Elway went out of his way to consult with Tebow's agents to find out where he wanted to go. They didn't have to do that, but Elway did it just to be nice.

And Tebow stabbed him in the back. He wanted to go to New York because it was a bigger market, but he didn't want to be criticized by all his worshipful fans down in Florida for dissing the Jaguars. So, he lied and said "I don't know how I wound up in New York, I just go where they sent me."

His "I'm such a great guy!" image was carefully stage managed by his handlers. The real Tebow was a sharp eyed con man building an image - which has made him millions of dollars, a fortune vastly greater than his limited football skills could ever have amassed for him.

Elway was furious with him after being thrown under the bus by Tebow, and he still is, which alone would bar Tebow from ever coming back to the Broncos - even if he were good enough of a QB to play in the NFL. Which he isn't. His career is done and it won't matter a fig if the idiots collect 1,000,000 signatures of fellow morons on their stupid petition.

Yep, if I remember correctly, Elway even said he's the type of guy he'd want his daughter to marry. Say what you want about him as a QB, but if somebody has an issue with Tebow "the person", the one who has the actual problem is probably not Tebow.

Broncos legend John Elway would like to make two confessions: 1) It was a no-brainer to give his quarterback job to Peyton Manning. 2) It tore up the gut of Elway to dump Tim Tebow.

"You hate some decisions you have to make in football. But that doesn't prevent you from making them," Elway said Tuesday, when he replaced Tebow with Manning. "You do what's best for your team. But that doesn't take away the heartache. You're dealing with human beings. It hurts."

As a front-office executive, Elway will forever be remembered as the bold recruiter who beat San Francisco, Tennessee and all suitors to land Manning with a $96 million contract.

But, in the process, Elway killed Tebowmania in the Rocky Mountains, an act that won't easily be forgiven if Manning fails to make Denver a legitimate Super Bowl contender.

AND


Elway will try to trade Tebow. Not to get the circus out of town. Not because Manning would worry about billboards demanding his removal as a starter. Elway wants to do the right thing. He knows Tebow has earned the chance to become a hero in a new NFL city.

"Tim Tebow is a great kid," Elway declared. "If I want someone to marry my daughter, it would be him."

That's high praise, straight from the heart.
