I’m not taking away from what he did as an exec in his first four years, it was awesome. But he just so happened to desperately need a quarterback the year that the greatest free agent to ever hit the quarterback market hit the market. And his neck turned out to be just fine. There was luck involved in that.
hey isnt tebow the only bronco qb drafted to win a playoff game or something?
i heard that somewhere.
Elway loves the prototypical big arm big QB. But he always drafts guys with huge upside and very low downside.
Incorrect on 3 accounts:
1) In the game that you're referring to, Demaryius Thomas caught a barely adequate throw from Tebow, against a busted Steelers' D, then out ran everyone for about 70 yards to the endzone for the 80 yard winning TD. Yes, Tebow had a solid 1st half of that game, but the D played great the entire game. So why should Tebow get 100% credit for that win?
2) After the 2010 Chicago Bears went 10-5 with Jay Cuter (2006 1st round pick) as QB (11-5 overall), wich got them a 1st round bye, they advance to the NFCCG by defeating the Seattle Seahawks in NFCDR. https://www.pro-football-reference.c...1101160chi.htm
3) After the 2002 Pittsburg Steelers went 7-3-1 with Tommy Mattox (1992 1st round pick & Elway's 1st heir apparent) as QB (10-5-1 overall), they defeated the Cleveland Browns in the AFCWC round. https://www.pro-football-reference.c...0301050pit.htm

Sorry but that throw too Thomas was Tebow best throw of his entire NFL career. Doesn't matter what coverage they played, they played zero help because they wanted too stop tebows read action early in downs and they committed to it and tebow burned them with the strike across the middle on a perfect throw hitting Thomas in stride so h could turn on the jets and deliver a brutal stuff arm to the face.
