Thread: Elway works with Tebow after practice

He's the VP of football operations, right? Ellis and Xanders are still in the offices...hopefully doing THEIR jobs. If Elway is finding the time to do this it means it is important to him and that's a good thing for the Broncos, the fans and the Bullgators of the world.

It's not like John came out of college as a pocket passer. He had a hell of an arm but he made plays after the play broke down more times than not. So, he has a frame of reference. Early on he used his legs A LOT. He developed into a solid pocket passer over the years. If John thinks he can work with the kid and avoid having to spend another 1 on a QB, that's better for us in the long run as well.

If it turns out that Tim doesn't work out, or develop what it takes to be a QB1 in this league, as Bronco fans, Tebow fans, whatever, you can't say we didn't give Tebow every opportunity to develop. That says a lot about this current regime.

Thanks for reminding me JohnE made a comment not to long ago.. That he was not a complete QB till he learned to work from the pocket.

He improved his game by not being a rabbit..

Great post Slick..

Because the 3rd rounder can run any kind of offense with ease and accuracy while the 1st rounder cannot run any kind of offense with any kind of proficiency whatsoever, and looks lost under center, yet he claims he took thousands and thousands of snaps under center to offset this glaring issue since last season. No impovement, and now the excuse is he didnt have official practice. But Mallet didnt have official practice and he seems just fine, and hes a rookie.
Mallet is a pro-style QB able to play any offense, TT is a wildcat/H-back.

Oh no! Apparently Shanny was brought in to fix Elways glaring issues as a QB!

Who cares that John Elway decided to give the kid a helping hand. John is a good guy, always has been, this just continues to show John's character.

Yes yes, but Rod shouldnt even have to go out there.

Wow, Elway taking a little time to help a young QB and people are disgruntled about it? Come on MHC, this is a good thing. To me this act shows that Elway gives a damn about the direction of the team. As someone else pointed out, if Elway trys to help Tebow a bit and Tebow still fails than the team moves on. But there is nothing wrong with Elway hanging out a bit to give Tebow some pointers. Good grief. Its not like he is really doing anything that QB coach wouldnt do anyway but coming from Elway it probably means a hell of a lot more.

I'm assuming that Mallet is a qb that is more suitable for the NFL than tebow. Either that or a stick used for croquet

Maybe Elway was putting his trust in the coaching personnel that was hired to do that job. If the guys in place arent getting it done or he doesnt see any progress maybe he felt the need to go see for himself what is going on.

this thread makes me want to blow my brains out

i wish i KNEW as much as cugel does.

and just maybe he wanted to help out thinking it would matter..

This is not brain surgery that some are trying to make of it..

John is a BIG BOY now he is a HOF guy, he is a very sucessful business man almost a self made gazillionare..

why do these folks THNK he does not know how to mangage his time..

It is not like they are paying by the hour out of their own pocket..




Watch this thread go viral and go on forever.. the really stupid ones do..

So go talk about him in another thread. This is about John trying to help Tim Tebow.
