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.

Fri, 04 Feb 2011 20:35:22 -0800

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.

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?

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

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

That was never said by Elway.

You do know who created this thread, don't you?

"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.

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.
