I was p*ssed off and annoyed for the entire game.
Nobody should ever compare Tebow at this point to Elway. For starters, it's just stupid and does neither of them any favors.
Yes, Tebow has the "IT factor" and a never say die attitude with the ability to create something from nothing. But, until he improves as a passer... it won't matter. A scrambling QB doesn't need to take 8 sacks - throw the damn ball away.
The Broncos also hamstrung him by trading their best WR and then being incredibly conservative in the game plan. It's the winless Dolphins - sure, treat Tebow with kid's gloves if you like, but open it up early.
Thankfully, Denver won the game... Prater missed two FGs, but was good on the onside (thanks MIA player for muffing that one) and clutch in OT.
Tebow did everything right in the final minutes. Hopefully, as things go forward, they'll open things up early. That game plan will NOT work going forward, the schedule is very tough the remaining 10 games.
I'm glad the media has something positive to say now about Denver, that's refreshing, but there's nothing that is more clear now than 24 hours ago. They still don't know what they have...
The Vikings are the worst remaining team on their schedule and the only team under .500 overall - and that game @ MIN won't be an easy one to win. Tebow (counting yesterday) gets 5 of his first 7 games this year on the road, it will be tough and they'll need to play incredibly different and much better than they did yesterday.
vs Lions (5-2)
@ Raiders (4-3)
@ Chiefs (3-3)
vs Jets (4-3)
@ Chargers (4-2)
@ Vikings (1-6)
vs Bears (4-3)
vs Patriots (5-1)
@ Bills (4-2)
vs Chiefs (3-3)
The last 3 minutes of the game and OT don't change how disgusted I was for 57 minutes. Yes, the finish was exciting and he can be amazing to watch, but he has a long road ahead of him and I'll be impressed and comfortable with him "being the QBotF" if they can go 5-5 during the final 10. If they can't go 5-5 ... which many of you will say is impossible (and that's fine, it certainly looks to be impossible), then I don't think they've answered the QB riddle.
