Thread: Tebow will be starting by Game 3... Mark my words...

With the Broncos not starting out strong, This team will only end up with 2 wins at most. Broncos tough schedule just got tougher from how some of these other teams played (Bills, miami).

If Tebow starts around week 10. It will give him enough time with no excuses on improving accuracy and see if he will adapt to nfl progressions. He will have to provide better then lights out because Elway is going to be a tough sell at QB and with the best QB in a long time coming out of his school.

I think Tebow should be playing after the bye week if the Broncos don't have more than 2 wins by then. I'm not sure that will happen though. There seems to be some stubbornness surrounding whomever is starting at QB. Regardless, if they do start him they need to be committed to it. As for Luck, I don't see any chance or way that the Broncos would be able to get him. Whether they can or not though I just hope we get a chance to see if they NEED to get another QB. From last year and then the improvement that's been seen in Tebow's game during pre-season this year, I think there's a good chance that if he gets in the game, he won't relinquish the starter spot. Then again, it's always possible he could flame out. I just hope we get to see and for a decent amount of games. To me that's AT LEAST 5 games....should be more. I'm one of those who thought they should have just started him. He proved he could lead the team last year.

I'd like to still have the opportunity to draft Luck, have him sit behind Tebow for one year and allow Tebow to improve his trade value by proving he can play the QB position at a decent level. Point is, the Broncos would be much better off investing in Andrew Luck long term than Tebow long term.

Think of it as San Diego scenario of having the luxury of chosing to keep Drew Breze or Philip Rivers.

Deal is... I honestly think Indy is gonna purposely tank to get Luck.

Honestly.. they will become artists at making the loss look real.

EFX does not have that same mindset.

That's a good point. If Luck isn't available there's always OU's Landry or USC's Barkley. And who knows other QB studs could emerge as well.
