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.

Bailey is no longer worth the Franchise Tag if there will be one.

Tebow will take a long time to realize his potential.

A very, very long time.

A looooooooooong time.

I'm no Tebow fan, but what about his 'story' differentiates him in a negative way from Cassel?

"What he is as a man, as a player, his intangibles, those all came true," said Elway. "Now we've just got to get him the experience and get him the work to continue to improve him as a quarterback.

Elway has also compared Tebow to Ben Roethlisburger and said he isn't the only person in the organization who has used that same comparison.

And on Champ.... Elway said that resigning Champ is his #1 priority.

That was never said by Elway.

Elway went on to add, "at this point when Tim opens up the playbook he proceeds to give guys a certain number of kisses and hugs depending on how the play is drawn out."

Did he actually mention Roethlisberger by name? I thought all he said was, "No way would I let Tebow anywhere near my daughter". That's an indirect comparison at best.

The nice thing about having Elway in charge is that his blimp-sized ego will prevent him from ever getting a good quarterback. Elway was a ball hog and glory hog when he played, and he won't want to see another quarterback getting some of the adulation that he wants. 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.
