The Broncos were 1–4 before he became the starter, but began winning with him on the field, often coming from behind late in the fourth quarter, until they won their first AFC West title and first playoff game since 2005, defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers in overtime.[3] Tebow was traded to the New York Jets during the offseason after the Broncos acquired free agent quarterback Peyton Manning.[4]

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.[105]

Now, being a Gator fan I'm not being bias when I say: No one gave him a chance in the NFL, it's silly to say that he didn't do well when he came back and won several games (that were specifically attributed to him playing well in the final minutes) and got his team to the playoffs when it was -certain- that Orton wasn't going to do it.

Not saying he's good, but he NEVER got a fair shake and he was a GREAT player in college, whether you like him or not.

And I'm an Atheist but think that in general there was a lot of grumbling over Tebow before he even took the field, some of my friends disliked him for being as "Christian" as he was but I didn't really care; I always thought he was a good kid and still think he is.
