One can only hope that Tebow defeats Pittsburgh!
If he could run a more diverse offense, then maybe. If they just used Florida's, or even what sCam runs in Carolina, it would probably be likely. But no, they run a stagnant "it's never gonna work" version of the zone-read and it becomes true.One can only hope that Tebow defeats Pittsburgh!
even the rotoworld acknowledges the obvious:
In the first half of their final four games, the Broncos ran the ball on 45-of-49 first-down attempts.
That's an alarmingly lopsided number, and goes a long way toward explaining why the Broncos often fell behind early as they sputtered down the stretch. It also speaks to an inability from the Broncos' coaching staff to put Tim Tebow in the best position to succeed. Denver is going to have to feature far less conservative play-calling if it hopes to get off to a strong start and get the most out of Tebow's unorthodox skill-set in 2012.

Yikes! Brady Quinn jumps on the Tim Tebow hate bandwagon. They don't make Catholic kids like I remember them. Sounds like a lot of sour grapes and whining. From a GQ interview:
"The entire game, the defensive line is chasing the quarterback around, and that wears down the pass rush. Meanwhile, the defensive backs are chasing receivers, but you only throw eight passes, so they start to feel lazy. It only takes that one play, that one big pass, for a touchdown."
"If you look at it as a whole," he tells Silver, "there's a lot of things that just don't seem very humble to me. When I get that opportunity, I'll continue to lead not necessarily by trying to get in front of the camera and praying but by praying with my teammates, you know?"
"We’ve had a lot of, I guess, luck, to put it simply."

Jacksonville is probably the best place Tebow can go. There's not a lot of talent there, but Gabbert is far from entrenched. Of course, I don't want to see Gabbert quickly pigeon-holed and end up a career backup so early in his career, but the Manning sweepstakes meant that a starting White QB somewhere was going to lose his job. But it wouldn't surprise me if Tebow never gets another chance to start (barring injuries) no matter where he goes. Unlike "raw" black QBs that can run, Tebow won't be allowed to develop.
