The question has come up yet again. Does Tim Tebow deserve to be the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos? John Fox decided that Kyle Orton was better for the job coming out of training camp and was strongly backed by his teammates. The players in the Broncos' locker room did not want Tebow to be on the field for Week 1 of the NFL season. The Broncos are now a mediocre 1-4, and they are 27th in passing yards in the whole league, which isn’t good by any means. Now Tim Tebow is not a great passer, but you can't deny that he gets the ball into the end zone. He is a great leader on the field and is a run threat when he is on the field.
If John Fox would have gone against what his team wanted and said that Tebow was ready to start and built an offense around him, the Broncos could possibly be 4-1 or even 5-0. Instead they sit at 1-4 which is last place in the AFC East.
Kyle Orton suffered an injury last season that sidelined him, so Tebow was given a substantial amount of playing time. He completed half of his passes for 654 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions. Orton has been playing well, but the city wants Tebow.
Everybody looks good when notplaying, but I think that Tebow should have already been starting. This will be the first week that Tebow will get to play which will be next Sunday against the Miami Dolphins since they are entering a bye week. It’s Tebow Time in Denver.
