This is more of the Tebow mythology.

They were all right around 50% except two games. San Diego (an Orton game), and Minnesota(a Tebow game). In both of these games Denver got dominated in Time of Possession.

*EDIT* Note that a running drive only really takes more time than a passing drive when the running drive takes a lot of plays. Which was seriously lacking in a lot of Tebow's drives.

At this point youd take a playoff win, falcons are starting to make Lions playoff woes look good.

It's more than a mythology. It is a fact. He has won wherever he has gone. There is no reason someone shouldn't give him a shot. Plus, you probably never played any team sports but there is a serious benefit for liking and respecting your teammates. You always play harder when you like your teammates. Look at the Lakers. That is one of their biggest flaws. It was probably the same in Denver.

Then make him a TE. But you're asking for trouble starting him at QB.

That's retarded. He is a proven winning QB. Let him play QB and if he fails move on then.

Apparently the entire NFL is retarded then since nobody claimed him on waivers.

Obviously some of them are. Seriously Mark Sanchez? Blaine Gabbert? Christian Ponder? Ryan Fitzpatrick? Brandon Wheedon? Jake Locker? Whoever is starting in AZ? There are at least a dozen bums that start games every year. He has a small sample size but he found a way in his limited time in College and the Pros. He deserves a chance. Jamarcus Russell, Ryan Leaf and many others had their shots. Someone should give him one.

He is now I believe 26, the light is simply not going to come on and he's going to get it. He lacks the acumen to consistently play QB at the NFL level, he'd be an incredible h-back or tight end but he wants to be a QB. Elway ran him out of Denver and the QB-needy Jets ran him out of town also, that tells you all you need to know.

You're comparing a team that can't make the playoffs but once this century to a team that has made it 4 of the last 5 years. One team hasn't won a playoff game since 1991. The other has won 5 since 1991, including last year. You're 0-6 in the playoffs since 91; Falcons are 5-8. You are the one making ridiculous statements about the playoffs.

The Broncos had a chance to get Peyton Manning and he is obviously and all time great. The Jets are just a poorly run franchise and you can't call a decision good because they made it.

I don't understand how anybody can think one of the all-time statistically terrible starting QBs is deserving of a starting job.
