Yet another win- 4 in a row since Tebow took over. Yet all the attention has been on other quarterbacks in the league. I always hear about Rodgers, Brees and even the dog killer in Philly. But I hardly hear anything about Tebow. While Rodgers might be the best in the league, Tebow is easily the 2nd best. I think he is better than Drew Brees. Give Tebow the respect he has earned!
I've always respected him, I just dont get how he gets it. After seeing him roast UGA while he was at Florida, and now watching him in the NFL, the dude is a winner, point blank, end of story. Props to him, hope he succeeds in the league
It's apparent he needs to work from the shotgun on every play! His throws are still hurribal, but it's also apparent that his rcvrs drop his good throws anyway.
It looks to me like he needs some left handed rcvrs.
Now rant about how TT sucks and is a short term solution rant back on till next Sunday...
Oh, and let's see if any sportscasters have the balls to pick the Broncos next week.

Seriously? I would say I hear more about Tebow than any other athlete on the planet right now.
I am always surprised when I see people hating Tim Tebow!Why?What causes such hatred?Has he killed dogs?Killed his wife??Sexted any female reporters??What has he done but tried his best and thanked his God for his success?Really people what about him is a threat to anyone(except his opponents)?
I so agree...its Tebow this and Tebow that on ESPN all the time.
Yeah but a lot of people still dont respect him or like him, I can tell from the tone of their words when they talk about him (I could be wrong). I think more or less the OP was asking why the disdain for Tebow even though he's winning. I'm not religious at all and I'm pretty sure my social views are on the other side of the road in comparison to his, but I still like him. I'm not even really of fan of players from UF, but I like Tebow anyway. He just seems like a good dude, and all he wants to do is play football.
If the other teams aren't taking him seriously now, they're guilty of deficient thinking.
Tebow will get major respect if/when he perfects his passing game, which seems better each game. He went 9/18 today and 143 yards on passing with a rating of 95.4 which was better than Phil Rivers.
Denver's defense deserves huge kudos for holding opponents to so few points, enabling Tebow to squeak out win after win. But Denver and Tebow have to score more than 13 points in regulation time to win. In the last six games, Denver has scored 18, 10, 38, 17, 17, 16 points for a total of 116 points and an average of 19.3 per game. Take away the blowout against Oakland and it's 78 points in 5 games or 15.6 per game, which is not going to cut it against real powerhouse teams.
If/when Tebow gets the team up to 25 to 30 points per game, then he will receive more appropriate acclaim; right now he is more of a curiosity for managing to win squeakers in the closing minutes.

This might be the single craziest thing I've read on C-D.
