Why delay the inevitable? Consider this an open letter to John Fox, consider it a stating of the obvious…
It’s Tim Tebow time in Denver. Clearly, Kyle Orton is going to get nothing done for the Broncos–and it’s disappointing that the offense has been so poor when the defense has looked so very scrappy.
5 weeks in, and gone is the shortened training camp rhetoric that resounded from the Denver receiving corps. Remember that chatter? That everyone needed to lay off Orton–that he offered better balls. Run with that one, Manolithers.
Kyle Orton is the guy you want to teach your son how to play quarterback–he’s not the type of guy who is going to win a lot of football games by inspiring teammates to exceed their present level of play and surge toward their potential. In other words, he’s no Tim Tebow.
John Fox and John Elway have delayed for as long as they can, and by playing Tebow in the second half of today’s game vs. San Diego they have hopefully signaled to their fans that it’s time to progress. And by the way, this was a second half in which Tim Tebow led the Broncos offense to two unanswered scores and closed a seemingly insurmountable gap. Yep. The Broncos lost 24-26, but it became obvious that it is time to usher in the Tim Tebow era.
Regardless of what you think about him, I’m gonna tell you why you’re right or wrong. You may love him or hate him, and if you hate him, it’s probably because you know very little about football, or because you’re Merril Hodge.
Tim Tebow is a winner. It is all he has ever done. Beyond his gifted athleticism, and his freakish strength at the quarterback position, he is also very intelligent. He understands how to adapt. In the NFL, adaptability is the difference between the 3 year fade or a decade long flourish. Sure, Tebow’s not going to run through his reads as fast as Kyle Orton–not yet. But he is going to find a way to move the football down the field. Let’s not forget the object of the game of football. Aside from looking amazing in your Under Armor, and amassing stats for personal legacy and contract paydays, the game does have a very, very simple objective–Tim Tebow, maybe more than any other football player in the league, understands this, and has multiple tools to get it done.
