The 2011 Tim Tebow Tracking Thread

[Bear Pand]

If the Dolphins were smart and wanted to sell out games that didn't involve the Jets, Patsies or Giants, they would grab Tebow in a heartbeat. For a 3rd string QB on a 2nd rate team, it's amazing how A)he gets so much hate, B)his jersey STILL outsells everyone else's (btw, that's NFL wide), and C)people line up to see him.

I know...he's totally lol worthy.

lol at bringing up how much hate he gets, then pointing out that his jersey outsells everyone...despite him doing nothing on the field.

The excessive love for him is just as bad, if not worse than the hate.

Broncos' Orton becomes father of baby girl; Tebow likely No. 2 QB Saturday

Broncos' Orton becomes father of baby girl; Tebow likely No. 2 QB Saturday

It was a day of activity surrounding the Broncos' pregame practice today at Dove Valley.

Papa Kyle Orton got a nice hand from the team after coach John Fox announced Orton's wife Bridget gave birth to their first child Thursday. Orton stood in the full-team huddle and gave the name (Olivia Taylor) and vital statistics (7 pounds, 18 inches) for his newborn daughter.

Fox also announced the captains for the preseason game Saturday against the Seattle Seahawks. The offensive captains: Daniel Fells and Knowshon Moreno; defensive captains: Joe Mays and Andre' Goodman; special teams: Britton Colquitt and Wesley Woodyard.

What Fox didn't announce was his No. 2 quarterback for the game against the Seahawks. Big Daddy Orton

All signs point to Tim Tebow coming in ahead of Brady Quinn. Tebow got a few more second-team reps than Quinn as this practice week went along. If Tebow is the first quarterback in, the move could be more about his development than anything regarding his place on the depth chart.

Quinn played so well in the first preseason game at Dallas, he earned the right to become the No. 2 quarterback in the second preseason game against Buffalo. And Quinn was exceptional again vs. the Bills, completing 10-of-16 for 130 yards and a touchdown, while Tebow was only 1-of-2 in limited playing time.

But because Quinn is a veteran and the Broncos already pretty much know what he can do, Tebow likely will get more playing time in the final two preseason games. Additionally, Quinn has thrown 30 passes in the preseason, completing 18-for-250 yards and three touchdowns, while Tebow has attempted only nine passes, completing seven for 101 yards.

Fox said earlier this week he wanted a longer look at Tebow in the final two preseason games.

As a second year player with only three NFL starts, Tebow's development needs game experience. The regular season is for winning, not development so the preseason might be the last time for a while that Tebow gets significant playing time.

Tebow's preseason numbers thus far:

Passing: 7/9, 101yards, 77.8 comp%, 113.4 QB rating.
Rushing: 3att for 22yards.

Why do so many care about a non starter? I'm going to start a Drew Stanton thread or 10.

Really?!?!?! Have you been in the closet the last six years.....

Well the first part of the question is obvious he's one of the best college players to ever play the game and fun to watch. He's also a white Christan, "good ole straight lace" type. Pretty much Captain America except he plays football instead of fighting super villains. :rollseyes:* I honestly don't believe in god, just answering the questions here.

Oh ya he's also a white guy that plays like a black man. A lot like Peyton Hillis (Madden 12's Cover Boy )


* Hate to say it but white people love to see white men trucking black guys, just sayin... For the record I'm hispanic...


ya and lets not forget about the fact that Josh McDamage drafted him the first round!

He wrote a book about himself and his "LIFE" at age 24.

And the most astonishing part about the man, the myth, the Legend that is TIM TEBOW, is the fact that he's a born leader/team player that will do what ever it takes to succeed/win.

Now Kyle Orton on the other hand, he deserves at least 10 threads.

 

[Rayman]

Fuck you, as far as I'm concerned, Captain America did play football, and Tim Tebow is no Captain America!

 

[BroncoBlue]

Game just finished up and my first thoughts about Tim Tebow are this; He's definitely one of the best players out there when it's third the string... He looked lost a couple times, especially when he ran into the Full back on a drop back pass, which was def. "LOL Tebow" worthy. He's still waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay behind Orton and not better than Brady Quinn. That being said he still had a few plays that made you, not stop believing! In the End Tebow's still a third team QB on this team, but it's obvious he will still be able to contribute in certain package's during the regular season.

Final numbers from today as the #2 QB:

6/11 93 yards, 0 TDs 0 INTs
4 rush 25 yards

Tebow's scramble leads to Broncos' winning kick

DENVER -- Kyle Orton led the Broncos back from a shaky start with two touchdown drives, and the defense throttled Tarvaris Jackson in a 23-20 preseason victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday night.

Jeff Reed tied the score at 20 with a 53-yard field goal with 1:16 left in regulation, but Tim Tebow had a 19-yard scramble in leading the Broncos downfield for Steven Hauschka's 51-yarder as time expired.

The Broncos (2-1) sacked Jackson five times, with Von Miller getting two and Elvis Dumervil 1.5. Dumervil missed last season after tearing a chest muscle in training camp shortly after parlaying his 17-sack season into a big contract.

The Broncos sputtered without him and chose Miller out of Texas A&M with the second overall draft pick in April. Miller has three sacks in the preseason.

[BroncoBlue]

He's just not ready, not even close. His progressions are painfully slow, by the time he's able to look at his third option the pocket has already completely collapsed around him. As bad as he was, Tavaris Jason is much worse. Seattle's offense is unwatchable.

The biggest takeaway from the game IMO is that Von Miller is unstoppable. I take back all the bad things I said in regards to taking him over Dareus. I don't think I've ever been this excited about the Denver defense.

Miller is nothing without Elvis, or like us in Denver are calling them DOOM & GLOOM!

Still don't get it. Maybe more videos?

Btw, Mike McMahon "played like a black man" too and he was a backup. I guess since he went to Rutgers and wasn't an overhyped piece of shit in college, nobody cared.

 

[CCBrink]

Never understood why people hate on Tebow for no reason. I wanna see him succeed, especially after watching this video.

Playing for Florida isn't a reason? I can hate on him for that can't I? Just like how I hate every player out of USC. It's fun to hate for stupid reasons like that. It doesn't have to be rational because it's just a game.

Pretend you are a retarded raciest evangelical Christan from Colorado that knows nothing about football except it's cool and a popular topic. Now go back and watch those vids from that perspective and you might get it.

Let me start by saying that wasn't a hype piece to make you or anyone else like Tim Tebow, it's really the reason I feel he's so popular. That doesn't mean I agree or like him for those reasons. Also this isn't a depiction of every Tebow fan, but unfortunately the majority here in Denver.

I guess I get it. He's still not a starter though. I was supposed to watch those videos? I don't have the attention span for anything longer than 25 seconds about Tebow.

Miami's tribute to Tebow, Gators one bad idea

Miami's tribute to Tebow, Gators one bad idea

The Miami Dolphins have scheduled the most asinine sports promotion since the Cleveland Indians' infamous 10-Cent Beer Night in 1974.

That major-league game, tied at 5 in the bottom of the ninth, was halted and forfeited to the Rangers on account of what the plate umpire termed "uncontrollable beasts."

On Oct. 23, when the Broncos play in South Florida, the Dolphins will honor Tim Tebow, a quarterback for the opposing team.
What?

Here are a couple of ideas: When the Broncos open the season on Monday night, Sept. 12, against the Raiders, why don't they hold a halftime celebration for Al Davis? Or how about a special game glorifying Jay Cutler (bubblehead dolls) when the Bears come to town Dec. 11?

The Dolphins are having problems selling out their season tickets (even sideline seats were available on the team's website Monday), and many home games are in danger of being blacked out on local TV, according to The Miami Herald.

'Phin heads, or Pinheads, decided to use Tebow as a star attraction (Gator Bait?), although he probably won't play a moment in the game.

The Broncos opened last season on the road at Jacksonville, which had seven blackouts in 2009. The tarps that cover 9,700 seats at the stadium and the presence of Tebow, the hometown hero, combined to help "sell out" the game. Tebow rushed twice for 2 yards.

Dolphins CEO Mike Dee announced proudly on Saturday night during the team's exhibition with Tampa Bay that the 2008 University of Florida football team (which beat Oklahoma in the BCS championship at the same stadium), will be saluted at the Dolphins' game with the Broncos.

The quarterback of those No. 1 Gators was Tebow.

Are the Dolphins planning to give Tim a commemorative plaque at midfield just before kickoff? A standing ovation?

The team is paying former Florida coach Urban Meyer to participate, and several other former Gators have agreed to attend. Dolphins center Mike Pouncey was a guard on the 2008 team. For $115, Florida alumni get a pregame party and a meet-and- greet (without Tebow, who will be in the Broncos' locker room) and a ticket to the game, during which the Florida band and mascot will entertain because the Gators have an off week.

This grand Gator gala will take place at a stadium that also is the home of the University of Miami. Hurricanes fanatics are unhappy — as if they don't already have enough to be sad about. Miami ultimately could be facing the NCAA "death penalty" for alleged violations and shenanigans from 2002-10. Now, the Dolphins are paying tribute to one of Miami's two fiercest in-state recruiting rivals.

Nevin Shapiro, the Miami booster who is in the eye of the Miami hurricane (and also in prison), claimed he put a $5,000 bounty on Tebow's head before the 2008 Miami-Florida game.

So, there's this ongoing Tebow Thing in the state of Florida too.

After all the negative reactions, Dee tried to sugar('Cane)-coat the issue when he said to The Sun-Sentinel on Monday: "Are we surprised? Maybe a little . . . As it relates to having to aggressively market the Dolphins and tickets to our games, we have to be agnostic." Odd word choice.

Dee said the franchise reached out to both schools in "early to mid- July," and Miami chose to hold a reunion for its last national championship team of 10 years ago at one of its own home games.

July, huh?

For conspiracy theorists, didn't the Dolphins and the Broncos start talking about a trade of Kyle Orton sometime in July?

That proposed deal made it clear that the Broncos' EFX had decided Tebow would be the starting quarterback. Then, the 2011 Dolphins-Broncos game would pit Orton vs. Tebow. No promotion necessary.

Now, it appears, barring unforeseen circumstances before Oct. 23, Orton (whom the Broncos still are thrilled to have as their starter) will be matched against Chad Henne (whom the Dolphins claim they still are thrilled to have as their starter), while Tebow sits.

However, because of their sticky- ticket scheme, the Dolphins will learn, as I have the past year, that lots of Florida folks, because of you know who, have become Broncos backers.

[BroncoBlue]

The offensive line will probably be the most important of all. They're responsible for keeping Orton healthy. Even Tom Brady looks crappy trying to play lying on his back (was that the NYG Superbowl?).

:seeyou:

dude you must be a closet Broncos fan!
@ RT = got me scared!

 

[riley420]

I'll tell you what. I would pay the $115 to see Tebow...and then go to a bar and watch the Jets play on TV. The Dolphins are gonna SUCK this year...this will be their biggest crowd aside from the Jets/Patsies.

 

[dave]

I think Tebow would be a perfect fit in Miami. If I were the Dolphins, I would offer the Broncos a conditional pick based on performance. Chad Henne doesn't make the spine tingle, and I suspect Miami is a 6-win team. If you're gonna be a 6-win team, might as well do it with a guy who excites the crowd, draws a crowd, and sell jerseys.

And IF the Dolphins front office were fucking n00bs they'd totally agree with you.... No franchise would "bet" on a 3rd string QB who's being paid first round money and sitting behind Brady Quinn. John Elway would jump at your offer to clear cap room, though!

For god's sake they wouldn't trade for FUCKING Kyle Orton, whose head and shoulders better then Tebow (right now)...:facepalm:

Henne "doesn't make the spine tingle" cause he had a down year... Fact of the matter is he's a better QB then Tebow (right now) and has Brandon Marshall! Henne will put up solid numbers with Marshall knowing his job is on the line this year and will lead the team to a better record than Tim Tebow would.

The Broncos were a garbage 4 win team last year probably a six win team this year (Vegas has them at like 5.5). Tebow WILL NOT have much effect on the Broncos win/loss record unless he starts! He'll still put up numbers and contribute more than Brady Quinn, but will be relegated to a third string role until Orton gets hurt....

Tebow sales tickets you're right, but only if he's starting! Tebow's still years away from being "the face" of a franchise. Oh ya and his jersey sales have plummeted since his nose dive on the depth chart.
