Broncos | John Elway says it will take time for Tim Tebow to be great

Fri, 04 Feb 2011 20:42:22 -0800

Denver Broncos vice president of football operations said Friday, Feb. 4, that it is going to take time for QB Tim Tebow to be great in the NFL, reports Dave Krieger, of The Denver Post. "Tim, as I've said, is a guy that is a very good football player," Elway said. "He is not a great quarterback yet. Hopefully we can make him a great quarterback, but I think that's going to take some time, first he needs to learn to pass like an NFL quarterback should pass, right now he's clueless. Next he's going to have to understand the playbook, at this time he is have a great deal of difficulty understanding what x means and what o means." But Elway added, he's got a great work ethic and believes in God so that's gotta count for something.

Denver Broncos CB Champ Bailey is not likely to be back with the team in 2011, reports Jeff Legwold, of The Denver Post. The report adds that the price for Bailey, using the franchise tag, is likely too steep for a team in the rebuilding process.

Consciously or subconsciously, he's going to sabotage Tebow and any other quarterback who comes in so they won't dethrone him as prom king.

Elway put his God-like status on the line in Denver when he took the job. He will do everything in his power to succeed and has even said that he plans on working with the QB's personally during training camp.

I predict that Rain Man will end up hating Tebow just as much as he hates Elway.

Yep. Working personally with the quarterbacks. We all know what's going to happen there. Sabotage. He's going to throw his sabot into the quarterback machinery.

Along with the THOUSANDS of current and former Donkeys before him. If all Bronco fans were as dillusional as you, Elway could triple ticket and parking prices and never miss a packed house.

Yeah, if he pays the admission of $12.50 to walk through the door.

Anyone? Don't make me make this it's own thread.

How about, "He was a first-round draft pick so he shouldn't be in a developmental phase from Day One"?

I've seen Matt Cassel make a play like that once or twice. That doesn't mean he's going to be/is any good

Thinner than you're spindly spindly limbs.

1. Nobody but the Broncos had him first round.
2. Draft position is irrelevant to the nuts and bolts assessment of what kind of QB he'll be once acclimated.

So what does Cassel pwn Tebow in;

Want to?
Dedication?
Intelligence?
Decision making?
Natural ability?
Leadership?
Success?
Aura?

Dedication? SAA
Intelligence? Yes
Decision making? Yes
Natural ability? **** no
Leadership? **** no
Success? Irrelevant question until we give Tebow a few more years
Aura?if you mean "douchebag" then Tebow's got him there

Elway was on the sports radio station in Denver today, and said that re-signing Champ was their #1 FA priority. As far as Baby Lee's question, I think Cassel wins in decision making, and that's it.

Then sure, Tebow has had more success.

So has Ken Dorsey and Jason White
