Dude, the Broncos were frickin' awful that year on offense. Even good QBs can't do much without help.


They had Thomas, Decker, Lloyd (1448yds 11TD's year before), Royal, Mcgahee, Moreno. They had some talent on that team. Tebow's last game of the regular season he went 6-22 for 60yds and 1 int.He completed 46.5% of his passes on the season which was 4% less than Blaine Gabbert and 2% less than Jamarcus Russel's worst year.Plus the worst percentage since 2002 at least(that's as far as it would go back). That is bad I don't care who you have on offense.

quote:

How many comebacks did he have?


Chicago-OT win Chicago fumbles Denver kicks FG Wins.
Minnesota- Interception <1min to go get ball on Minn 20 kick FG Wins.
San Deigo- OT three defensive stops. SD misses FG. Denver makes FG wins.
KC- 2/8 69yds 1TD 43 yds 1TD. Defense holds KC to 10 pts.
Miami- OT two defensive stops. Miami fumbles. FG and Win.

I agree he had comebacks but lets not forget the defense making plays in 90% of those comebacks at the end of the game and Prater making FG's. I think with more time and a chance to play on a team that didn't want him just to be a gimmick he would've made it. If McDaniel never left Denver I think he makes it. Fox didn't want him he played him for the fans. The Steelers game in the playoffs is the game that makes me think he can make it if given an opportunity. I am a huge Tebow fan but I'm not gonna let me being a Gator fan blind me of what actually happened on the field in the NFL.

You left out the Houston Texans his first year.

Tebow's first career victory came in his second start on December 26. The Broncos defeated the Houston Texans, 24–23, in Denver. Tebow helped rally the Broncos from a 17–0 deficit at halftime, as he finished the game with 308 passing yards and one touchdown pass. He also added a fourth quarter rushing touchdown, which capped the comeback.

Guess the defense was the reason they won that one, right?

The following Sunday, Tebow once again guided a comeback victory, this time at home over the Chicago Bears. Denver won 13–10 in overtime after facing a 10–0 deficit with just over two minutes to play in regulation.

Getting them back in the game was Tebow.

quote:

Minnesota- Interception <1min to go get ball on Minn 20 kick FG Wins.


Tebow led the Broncos to their third consecutive come-from-behind win of the season, as Denver beat the Minnesota Vikings on the road, 35–32.

Yeah, the defense wasn't the reason they won a game where both teams were in the 30's.

quote:

KC- 2/8 69yds 1TD 43 yds 1TD. Defense holds KC to 10 pts.


His second completion, a 56-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter to wide receiver Eric Decker, sealed the game for Denver.

Sometimes it's all you need.

quote:

Miami- OT two defensive stops. Miami fumbles. FG and Win.


Tebow and the Broncos struggled in the first three-and-a-half quarters against the Dolphins, but rallied from a 15–0 deficit in the last three minutes to win the game 18–15 in overtime.

So anyway, Tebow had a direct hand in winning 90% of those games.

In fact, you could argue it's the only reason they won.
