define athletic..he was great in college bc of his size and strength to the other college players. he just pretty much ran over defenders most of the time. he doesnt have the quick accuracy passes that i can see..the only thing he has going for him is the determination.

No way, Kyle Orton is a better qb than Tebow.

Tebow has two things going for him. Determination and Leadership.

QB wise, I think both Orton and Quinn are better at that position.
Elway loves Tebow due to the two factors I mentioned above.

Tebow played fairly well at the end of the year for Denver. I agree he has much more upside than Orton. Remember how many mediocre years Orton had prior to working with McDaniels?

Hate the FL Gators & Denver, not really a Tebow fan. But the kid works his ass off and has succeeded everywhere he's been. He's a "gamer". I hope he does well.

Looks like Kyle Orton will be your starter. Tebow not even close.

I'm not too confident that Tebow will make an NFL qb, however it will be a veary long time before we have a football player you can tell your kids it would great to imullate. Hate him and the ESPN love he always gets but the boy is an extremely great kid!

If Denver wants to keep their fan base and keep the locker room from dividing, then they need to start Orton.....period.

Tebow isn't even close to being ready

Seems like the fans are the ones who want Tebow so either way they are going to be split as far as that goes.

I'm not sure Tebow is much better than a lot of guys who come in to the league, but I think he's going to be given more opportunity to make it than the average second-year player.
