The 2011 Tim Tebow Tracking Thread

[FirstTimer]

Not mortgaging our future to bring in another QB so we can look more presentable when other teams are moving up and down the field on us with ease.

You're wasting a season with Tebow anyways.

[ralaw]

"I think Tim has earned the right to be the starting quarterback going into training camp next year,"

Mangini made a good point. Elway said Tebow is the starting QB entering training camp, but he didn't say anthing about the season.

The legend of Tebow grows. On Rosetta's facebook someone was claiming Tebow was "strongest player in the NFL", and while in college had benched 700lb's while squatting 1500lbs.

Lmao.... that kid is a retard. I'm very distantly related to him(not by blood) but he makes the most retardedly outlandish claims about everything.

His uncle who is my cousin and one of my best friends, used to tell me he could squat 600lbs because that's what he said. Then he worked out with him and saw that I was actually stronger than him being 40lbs lighter.

Could Tim Tebow Really Just Be The Antichrist?

Like every other decent, God-fearing American football fan, I like Tim Tebow. (And like every other decent, Belichick-fearing New England football fan, I’m glad he’s the quarterback matchup we’re facing this weekend, given the way the pass coverage has been all season.) As it’s been said many times before, Tebow seems like a genuinely nice person and a great teammate and his emergence this year has been probably THE best, most entertaining story in all of sports in years.

I have one tiny, inconsequential concern though. Has it occurred to anyone else that Tim Tebow might be a little too good to be real? That maybe there’s something supernaturally sketchy going on here? I can’t help but think of something Albert Brooks says in “Broadcast News”:

“What do you think the Devil is going to look like if he’s around? Nobody is going to be taken in if he has a long, red, pointy tail. No. I’m semi-serious here. He will look attractive and he will be nice and helpful and he will get a job where he influences a great God-fearing nation and he will never do an evil thing… And he’ll get all the great women.”

I don’t pass myself off as a Bible scholar. But the Sunday mornings I’ve spent at St. Mary’s of the Sacred Heart haven’t been all about checking out the hot moms and setting my Fantasy lineup. I’ve learned a thing or two about the Scriptures. And it’s hard not to notice a few eerie similarities between Tebow and a certain biblical Supervillain:

The Antichrist will ride in on a white horse [Revelations 6: 1-2]

The Antichrist will be worshipped by many people [Rev 13:8]

He “does not regard the desire of women.” [Daniel 11:37]

The bible makes 25 unfavorable references to left-handedness. And the Latin word for left-handed is “sinister.”

The Antichrist’s arrival on the world scene will be accompanied by “wonders” (Denver’s opening kick hits the crossbar for a touchback and rolls back 30 yards and stops dead on the 20)…

… “signs” (a halo appears over Mile High)…

…”and miracles” (an 11-second overtime win in the playoffs).

His name will be associated with the number 666, “though not in an obvious way.” [Rev 13:17-18]

Some prophets interpreted a dream by Nebuchandnezzer with the arrival of the Antichrist and the End of the World. The dream involved a statue “with silver arms and chest, a bronze torso and thighs and iron legs.” [Daniel 3:16-18]

The Antichrist will be a king from a land to the north of Israel.

During his rise to power, a 7-year peace pact between warring nations will be negotiated, setting off a wave of euphoria. [Mathew 24:15]

The Antichrist will have compelling charisma and ability to communicate. “A mouth speaking great things.” [Rev 13:5]

His appearance will be one of “a fierce countenance” and “more stout than his fellows.” [Daniel 7:20]

He will appear to survive a fatal injury. [Rev 13:3]

And finally, the true Antichrist “will do as he pleases.” [Daniel 11:36]

It’s a tough call, so you draw your own conclusions. The prospect of having to face this guy, plus all this Old Testament stuff, has me terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought right now. @JerryThornton1

Elway drafted Von Miller. You lose.

Elway also got his degree in 1983 in economics with the rest of his class. He didn't have to go back to UNC in 2004 to get a degree in CULTURAL GEOGRAPHY.

Wonder which of those two trades would play a greater role in successfully managing a professional sports team?

Is the answer cultural geography?

We had a defense give up a TD in three plays before the QB even touched the ball.

They gave up five passing TDs in the first half (3 to the same guy) and allowed a TE to look like an all-pro halfback. If New England would have kept their foot on the gas the whole game they would have won the game by 80. No QB is going to win consistently with a defense that plays like that.

And before you come back with the "OH THAT WAS TOM BRADY!" nonsense... Go look at the game against Minny where Denver allowed Percy Harvin to dice them up...

This defense is bad and were able to stay afloat because we ran the ball and kept them off the field as much as possible. But the talent is simply not there.

Dawkins is likely gone after this season, same for Andre Goodman. This team needs a veteran safety and athletic CB much more than they need to invest in a QB.

I don't really care if you agree with that assessment or not. But it would seem like the guy making decisions (or the guy who actually matters) would agree with my line of thinking.

I hate to jump in and here, but all season people were making this point, and I just don't see it at all. Denver's time of possession ranked 25th in the NFL, and they were hovering around average in offensive plays and first downs. Their third down percentage was 30th as well.

What I think is the defense needed a healthy Brian Dawkins a lot more than they originally thought. Because that defense played really, REALLY good for a big chunk of the season, and really suffered when he left the line-up.

As far as offense, they've got a ton of holes except for offensive line in my opinion. McGahee gave them a spark, but he's definitely not the guy going forward. Thomas seems like a great #2 threat who's playing #1, and who exactly is the #2 (Decker)? And I couldn't even tell you who the tight end was.

So if I was Elway, I'd stick with Tebow too, simply because I don't have enough picks to fix everything this year. And I honestly think Tebow will improve.

But to give credit where credit is due, this is not that great of a team, and they improved a lot this season. It's an exciting time if you're a Denver fan to see what this team can build into.

"Kim (Kardashian) has a big crush on Tim," a friend told The National Enquirer, via celebitchy.com. "She says he's not only very handsome but seems like a guy with really strong values."

"Tim's been made aware of Kim's crush, and although flattered, he's not interested," a source told The Enquirer. "He's an avowed virgin who's saving himself for marriage and is looking for a woman with similar values, not someone with two failed marriages and a sex tape in her past."

Ohhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhhhhh!

:joeybats:

Glen, show yourself.

[Bomberooski]

I hate being on the road and missing all thia

[GoChargers]

One good thing to come out of Manning going to Denver is at least I can support Tebow wherever he goes and not hope him to fail so it doesn't feed VSN's denver fans.

hard to imagine him being a starting QB anywhere though.

[Twigg4075]

Yeah, where's Glen?
