I was being factitious, but nonetheless, I'll accept your five rep points bet. When the games over, one of us will be Tebowing, and one of us won't.

If you're a decent passer, you're only as good as your receivers. If you're a GREAT passer, (Rodgers, Brady, Brees, EITHER Manning) you make your receivers better. Tebow is an average passer in terms of accuracy, but his mediocre band of receivers are not doing him any favors.

Decker wouldn't be the number 1 receiver on any other team in the NFL. He wouldn't even be the number TWO receiver on half of them. Thomas is young and very raw. He's caught some big passes for the Broncos but he's also let a lot of catchable balls bounce off his chest or slip through his hands. And does anyone even know if Denver HAS a tight end? I mean, we see their names on the roster, but I never see them DOING anything.

Denver's defense is playing great football right now, but please remember this is the same exact defense that were 1-4 while Kyle Orton was taking snaps, so to say Tebow hasn't effected them is laughable, and here's why:

Since Tebow took over at QB, the Broncos lead the NFL in rushing. What does that mean? Rushing eats up large chunks of clock. That means the defense isn't on the field as much, and they are more rested and ready during crunch time. Tebow rarely turns the ball over. What does that mean? It means the defense almost never has a short field to defend. The opponent almost always has the ball closer to their own end zone than the red zone.

People say Tebow would be 0-8 without his defense, well no duh, it's a team game, but where would Denver's defense be without Tebow?

You bring up an excellent point.

His "my God is wonderful" singing on the sidelines is like the behaviour of a 5 year old. The loss today will hopefully end the total BS surrounding this buffoon.

Here's you rep points for winning the bet. You should give me some for making such a courage, Tebow, type wager.

I'm a former University of Miami student, and I still can't help but cheer for Tebow. He just seems like a class act, not something you see too much in sports this day. I don't think people are calling him the best ever, or comparing him to Peyton Manning or Tom Brady, but he is doing something for that team.

Also, if I remember correctly, people used to always get down on 1 knee and make the sign of a cross for their TD celebration, did everyone make a big fuss about that? I don't know what America has come to, but I feel like people TRY to get offended by everything.
