    You can see in the by game breakdown that we simply aren't really dominating TOP. We are winning the battle, but marginally.

    If you are trying to argue that we are doing better than we did with Orton, I'm not debating that. But just keeping up with the other team hardly makes us a 'ball control' team.

    There was an article on ESPN today with Aaron Rodgers where they really talk about his specific thought processes on throws. It really belongs in the "Other Teams" forum but in a way it gave me more hope that Tebow can become more than he is right now.

    "So it's like a pyramid, where you master a level of quarterbacking and then go up a step and fine-tune?
    It takes awhile to get there, especially for guys who are thrust into playing immediately. That's why I give a lot of credit to Andy Dalton, Cam Newton and Christian Ponder -- quarterbacks who are playing in their rookie years and playing well. It's really tough to figure it out, and I guarantee, talk to those guys in two or three years and they'll say, "Man, I really didn't know what I was doing my rookie year." Playing the quarterback position, there are so many things you need to master that improvement ends up taking place on graduated levels."


    It seems relevant somehow to this thread--so if you're so inclined the (quite interesting, IMO) article is here.

    The point is that Fox wants to control the clock. We are now controlling the ball an extra couple minutes per game. Which is a possession that could be used by other team on us. It is also less time that the defense is on the field and get a breather.

    We know Elway is looking for higher completion percentages and higher 3rd down conversion rates. I think the former was better tonight, but not sure about the latter.

    Do you think any headway was made in determining whether or not Elway will feel comfortable with TT leading the team in 2012? Is this another Jets "push" where we win, but it's 'ugly' and we aren't any closer?
    As of right now the Broncos will not draft a QB next year. The biggest flaws on tebow was:

    1. Going through progressions and keeping head up field.

    * Tebow is vastly improving every game and is doing great in this area.

    2. Footwork

    * Also improving every game

    3. Mechanics

    * little changes nothing major but also not worried to much about this.

    Elway is going to have to deal with it because there is no way Bowlen is going with a different QB from what Tebow is bringing to the table. Tebow is going to give us 4 Monday night games next year and a ton of Sunday night.

    People want to see Tebow over Brady. He is more marketable and people relate a lot better.

    With Tebow improving so well and with a great job the coaching is doing and him not turning the ball over... If he keeps this up I can see him turning some heads in playoffs if we make it by opening up the playbook on some teams if necessary.

    Tebow is what Ray Lewis has been to the Ravens for such a long team. He motivates the entire defense and offense.

    I personally did not think tebow was going to improve so well and did not think the McCoy was going to do such a terrific job asking for him to do something he can't just yet.

    While it is a team game and theres 53 other players. Tebow is winning the games alone from not turning the ball over.

    I support Tebow and he is going to be the QB next year regardless if we make playoffs or not.
