He's polarizing because he sucks as a QB. I think Tomlinson is probably a better QB. Tebow is a running back they're trying to force to throw. The other reason is we have to hear about him every 2 seconds.
Hell, the only reason they're even running well is because they're putting about 8 blockers out there and just overwhelming the other teams defense as much as they can. Look at how well their running backs which had been doing really shitty before they started going to this scheme started doing. In other words, its not Tebow, its their line. Yet, people act like its all Tebow's doing which is just idiotic.
When the Broncos go up against teams that can pass the ball well (Packers, Saints, Steelers) they'll probably get their shit rocked because Tebow will have to throw for them to have any chance.
Who should really be getting praise is John Fox for being willing to go to such a scheme. Their defense was awful last year, so trying something like this could have been really bad. Funny thing is, I think its a big reason their defense is playing better as they're able to stay fresh.
Hell, they're punter deserves as much credit for their success as Tebow does.
Not a Tebow fan but that is what they said after his first week, then his 3rd, then the 4th, and now the 5th.
The guy is 4-1 with 3 of the 4 wins above .500 teams.
You people do know he started games last year too, right?
3 of those wins were against bad teams (Dolphins, Raiders, and Chiefs) and his
team barely won them. They're winning because their defense is playing good enough to keep them in the game despite Tebow, and their offensive scheme is working just well enough right now.
That's no fluke friend. Reminds me of people saying the Buckeyes' 14-0 season was luck after each game they won.
If Denver wises up and tailors that offense to Tebow just imagine.
Uh, that's the reason they've had the little success they'd had, they've basically gone to a run mentality. Its not that much different from when Miami went to the Wildcat offense and had some success for a little while. It won't last. The other thing is, it has nothing to do with Tebow. Any coach willing to just put two running backs that aren't completely terrible behind a huge line is going to find some success for a while.
Once teams scheme for the Broncos new plan, or they play teams that can actually pass the fucking ball like the Packers or Saints, they'll have to rely on Tebow's arm to win the game, and that has not happened yet and if you watch, you can see why (he sucks at throwing the ball, he might be worse than JaMarcus Russell).
