but he obviously talked to john and something made him say something like this! he's probably only backtracking because John or other broncos personal called peter king and told him to back track. I don't think anyone would just make something like this up and John hasnt been to positive on Tebow so i wouldn't doubt any rumors like this.
LOL...in any event, if this is true that Elway actually said these things to Peter King, then Elway owes people an explanation. If he is saying these things to people, then he is out of line, unless he is hellbent on getting rid of Tebow asap...
Well I read those quotes from elway, and not one of them said Tim was bad.
They said he had talent, drive and motivation to be a great footballer.
They said with the right coaching he can be a great QB.
They said any coach is entitled to look at ALL the QB's on the roster, but needs to understand the Broncos want to work with Tim.
Y'all are just over reacting to someone else's incorrect interpretation of John's comments.
John Elway (of Twitter fame), clarifies his comments:
RT @johnelway: To clarify my thoughts on Tim Tebow... I think he's a very good football player, and if anyone can turn themselves into a great QB, Tim can.
RT @johnelway: Myself and our entire organization think very highly of him. We are pleased with his first year as a Bronco.
Additionally:
RT @johnelway: Any speculation that the Denver Broncos are considering moving Tim is completely false.
@johnelway: Any speculation that the Denver Broncos are considering moving Tim is completely false.
You better not be lying to us John!
whew, glad thats over, now we can get back to talking about the draft...hahaha

http://www.877theticket.com/page.php?page_id=59On Denver Broncos Rookie QB Tim Tebow
"The advantage is his attitude and work ethic. He wants to be the best that he can possibly be. He's not going to cut any corners to try to the be the best he can be. He didn't come out of a pro-oriented type offense. He came out of the option, the shot gun, foot work wise and technique wise that I've been able to see from the past three games, that's gotta improve. When you can improve his mechanics you can improve his accuracy. We have high expectations of Tim. The coach that comes in has got to be able to work with him as far as technique and accuracy. He's still young. He's a good football player because he wants to win, he’s a competitor. He has those intangibles that you can't coach, but the next guy that comes in as far the offense goes, they’ve got to be able to make him a good quarterback. Tim didn’t get a lot of reps during the season, Kyle was the one they gave all the reps to. I admired him for the way he played, but you have to understand that he’s still a rookie that has a long way to go. What we saw was his maturity and that he would compete in all circumstances, which is a great quality to have because you can’t coach it."

Danver fans have something akin to PTSD after McDaniels destruction of team, secrecy and trading away of talent. Leaves fans quick to assume team will make same mistakes again.
Elway, or the PR departement in his name, was VERY smart to get on top of this quick, rather than taking a "we don't talk about our plans with the 'player'" as they would have under the McDaniels regime.
