Elway trying to draft the next Elway

He made Revis miss a tackle. 'nuff said.

Tebow is like a hand-job everyone happy with the results even though it probably isn't their preferred method of play. His style will go the way of the Wildcat as soon as Defenses start taking them seriously.

Exactly. They went to Tebow because he created interest and he did something differently that no one else does. He is a really good option QB but everyone knows that the option syle wont work in the NFL for very long. As soon a coordinators have a chance to see what they are doing and gameplan a little for it there will be even less success than there currently is.

I think there is a place for Tebow in the NFL in a Brad Smith type role but there is no way Denver can think they can run the option as a long term offensive plan.

I dont think the option is the plan, I do think they are going to have to do some serious work with him and get him accurate under pressure. He has the arm, just seems scared to throw picks so every pass is wide or under. That has led to a nice TD/INT ratio though for the stats guys.
Gotta figure if he can throw it where the defense cant catch it, maybe he can eventually throw it where his guy can.

Maybe he is right handed?

The problem is that many of the poorly thrown balls last night were when no one was even near him. I do think one of his problems is that he tries to throw the ball too hard, which leads to some wildness. He gunned a few last night (and a few should have been caught), that were just unnecessary.

It is true, I do think it comes back to fear of the pick, better it hit the ground kinda thing in his head. Not making any kind of comparison in any way here but when Farve came into the league he did the same with his arm.

Teams are daring him to pass and yet he still struggles with seemingly simply completions. For whatever reason he seems to be more effective when not in the pocket which will eventually lead to hit taking a lot of big hits. I'm not a hater and he has an unusual skill set which can be utilized in some fashion but he has a longer windup than Hideo Nomo and between that and his accuracy probem it is hard to believe that the league wont be able to contain him pretty easily.

As long as the defense continues to keep games close, them and the special teams which are the best in the NFL I think, they can keep winning.

So as long as the defense gives up less than 14 points a game and scores a TD, in addition to Prater having a 60 yard leg and Colquitt consistantly pinning teams inside the 10 they should be able to keep winning.......
