Maybe, but I really don't see them making the move because of the fans... if they truly believed in Quinn (remember, Elway and Fox didn't bring any of them here) then they would have played him. They had no idea what they had with Tebow... they knew what they had with Quinn.
I am quite certain that they made the move to Tebow not thinking they would go 7-4 and be where they are right now. I believe they viewed the season as lost and that Quinn wouldn't save them.. only bringing on more calls for the QB that they didn't know much about, so they bypassed the whipping of Quinn starting and said let's see what happens.
Well, there was good and bad... but the good won out to a degree. Can Quinn still start in this league? I'm sure he can, but he's less than Orton and we've seen him and dozens of other QBs that are similar bounce around the league for years.
Tebow isn't a great pure passer right now... he has lots of things to work on, so we'll see if they build around him with players and enhance the game plan a bit with him going forward. Or, maybe they scrap the whole thing... but, despite the ugliness, I think he's earned the right to go into 2012 as the starting QB and we'll see how the team responds.
