all that matters in sports is winning. Tebow wins. He provides leadership that even inspires teammates to play harder. They believe he'll lead him back, even if its just with his legs and a couple of throws here and there.

stats are for Fantasy leagues.

I bet his teammates laugh at him behind his back. I really do. They know this smoke and mirrors show won't last long in the NFL. Steve Young said it best when he called him an "embarrasment"..he really is.

"I said before, I trust him. I trust him with everything. No matter how many interceptions he throws, no matter how many touchdowns he scores, that's Tim Tebow and I'm going to ride with him to the end. I hope he shut up a whole bunch of critics today."

Do you really think they are laughing at him? You think they would prefer Orton or Quinn? That's the thing people are forgetting here. If Denver had Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady or Drew Brees.......or just about 95% of the starting qb's in the league, Tebow wouldn't be playing. But they had Orton, who was not producing and losing. The defense deserves a ton of credit. Probably more than Tebow I'd say. But I do think Miller's comments show a feeling that goes through the team. When Orton is out there, they are thinking "here we go again." They may stop the other team and then Orton gives it right back and they are on the field again. You're wondering how Orton is going to squander your hard work. With Tebow, you're wondering how he's going to pull it out. Everyone plays with a different confidence now and that can't be measured.

the players absolutely love tebow now (maybe not at the beginning of the season). You could tell by watching the game and how they jumped on him after he scored. Oh yeah, and you can tell by listening to their interviews.

Its stupid to think they are laughing at a guy who has quarterbacked them to a 4-1 record. These are NFL players, all they care about is winning.

Oh stop. He's 5-3 as a starter in his career. He played terrible for nearly the entire game last night. At one point they punted like 8 straight times. They had one good drive and because of mistakes the other team made, they capitalized.

They got 7 points off a terrible INT by Sanchez. Their initial FG came after a shanked punt that went like 12 yards. His running TD came as a result of terrible execution by Eric Smith.

He's clearly an unbelievably clutch player. He makes plays when it matters and it almost appears he wants to win more than his opponents. It's a nice story for now, but it won't continue. A lot of things had to happen last night for that last drive to even happen and he's lucky (or it's karma ) that it was the Jets on the other side of the ball.
