Don't talk too fast! We don't know how Tebow will perform because opposing teams have yet to game plan against him.

My question is what happens when teams take away running lanes from T2 and force him to stay in the pocket! Teams already know T2's weaknesses are reading defenses and throwing consistently from the pocket.

If Tebow can't improvise and run around like his head is cut off......he will be dead in the water! Its very possible EFX already know about this and have thought out this scenario. Remember, EFX know just how raw T2 really is, why expose this fact to the entire NFL at this point.

The best bet right now is to not name T2 the starter, thus allowing teams to game plan against his weaknesses, but allow Tebow to play after teams have game planned for Orton.

this is absurd.

Had Fox left Orton in, fans would be screaming FIRE FOX.
Instead, Fox bought himself some time.
If this years team is worse than last years, then put Fox on the launching pad

More "fan thinking."

Here's why NFL teams do NOT want running QBs:

Tim Tebow: 7/29/2010: Signed a five-year, $9.75 million contract. The deal includes $8.7 million guaranteed. Another $23.25 million is available through incentives, though $9 million of them are "unlikely to be earned." $1,537,500 of the incentives are available through a "likely to be earned" onetime escalator. 2011: $1,618,750 (+ $6.275 million guaranteed option bonus due 9/2), 2012: $1,942,500, 2013: $2,266,250, 2014: $2.59 million, 2015: Free Agent

And remember Tebow is quite moderately priced for a starting NFL QB. Compare Matthew Stafford:

4/25/2009: Signed a six-year, $72 million contract. The deal contains $41.75 million guaranteed, including an $18.2 million signing bonus. Another $6 million is available through incentives based on Stafford playing 35% of the offensive snaps as a rookie and 45% throughout the life of the deal. 2011: $525,000 (+ $8.475 million "signing" bonus), 2012: $10.5 million, 2013: $11.5 million, 2014: $11 million, 2015: Free Agent

If Tebow remains the Broncos starting QB they will re-negotiate his contract in a couple of years and he'll be earning somewhere between $9 and $15 million a year!

And everytime he takes off outside the pocket the team is risking all that money. So, no! The Broncos are not going to go to the spread offense with Tebow running around as their base offense, no matter how many ignorant fans whine about it.

Micheal Vick is a lot faster and more elusive than Tebow but he can't stay on the field. It's looking like the 6 year, $100 million contract they gave Vick wasn't a great idea. Running QBs are generally not welcome in the NFL for that very reason.

Sorry, but this is nonsense. Do you think Pat Bowlen is going to fire Fox after 4 games because the fans are screaming "fire Fox?"

Fox will be given 3 years to turn this team around because Bowlen, Elway and Joe Ellis realize that McDaniels utterly gutted the team and left it devoid of talent. It's going to be a LOOONG rebuilding process no matter who is the coach or GM.

And the fans are going to be impatient and be yelling "Fire Fox!" long before Bowlen and Elway will even consider firing Fox.

They've got 3 draft picks from this year's draft starting and making a contribution which is a good start. If they can do that for 3 years in a row and pick up some good FAs as well then they can field a respectable team by 2013-2014. Throw in a proven QB and they can make the playoffs.

If the team stays with a losing record with little or no improvement after the 2013 season THEN John Fox's job will be jeopardy.
