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.

He's better than Kurt Warner was at this point. If he puts all his faith in God, works out to his abilities like he has been, he will be good.

Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow, who was raised by Christian missionaries, kept himself busy with non-traditional tourist activities during his first visit to Las Vegas on Tuesday.

A teetotaler, his only shots involved a basketball court and a ping pong table.

In town to shoot individual photo shoots for Nike with fellow NFL stars, he played a game of pickup basketball with Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings, All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis of the New York Jets and Ndamukong Suh, the Detroit Lions star rookie defensive tackle.

They were spotted ballin' in the Palms’ Hardwood Suite, which features a basketball court for high rollers and VIP guests.

Tebow also reportedly played ping pong against a professional after a session of the World Championship of Ping Pong had ended in The Pearl, the Palms’ concert venue.

Tebow, who led Florida to two national championships in three years and was the first sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy, had dinner with Revis, Suh and Peterson at N9NE Steakhouse, a celebrity hotspot frequented over the years by the likes of Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf and Pete Rose.

Tebow, the first to arrive, took a table in the main dining room, rather than the private room favored by many celebrities.

He ordered Fiji water and went with a bone-in ribeye – not a T-bone. And, no, the water didn’t turn into wine for the NFL newcomer whose clean-cut, down-to-earth image made him one of the league’s most popular players overnight.

During dinner, Tebow, Revis and Suh went to the kitchen to sign Chef Barry Dakake’s Shake Down Door, which has been signed by hundreds of celebrity guests. They signed helmets, football, jerseys and N9NE Steakhouse dinner plates.

Suh, the dominating defensive lineman out of Nebraska and the No. 2 overall draft pick in 2010, was celebrating being named NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Tebow wore a gray sweater, with jeans and Nike tennis shoes. Revis was wearing black Chuck Taylor Converse hightops. Huh?

They are all staying at the Mandarin Oriental in CityCenter, Vegas Confidential has learned.

did anyone mention that Cassel is running out of time?
Shouldn't he be good by now?

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

he compareed him to Rothlisberger? In what way? I'm guessing he means that once he gets his willy wet for the first time, he will become a raping machine.

What surprises me is that a lot of Broncos fans still think hiring Elway was a good move.

I look at it like this... neither one of us is apparently smart enough to be anything more than a fan. So, we don't really know what is good or bad in this situation. By default - those that hate Denver and Elway will say it's a move doomed for failure. And, those on the other side will say it's either great or they'll hope for the best.

I have no idea, but all I can do is hope for the best. To suggest it's failure is just as silly as anything that KnowMo types...

It has nothing to do with smarts. That entire profession is 100% based upon connections.

I wouldn't say 100% but I'd go with 85.

Some day when our franchise is desperate enough for wins that we give a HOF player a front office role I really hope it's Will Shields.

It could be. Former players have been known to make good GM's in some cases. It's not like they hired Carl Peterson or anything.
