Why the Broncos Need to Draft Tim Tebow!!!!

I was born in 1979, and my first recollections of the Denver Broncos was around 1985. The Broncos faced the Raiders in Mile High on a snowy afternoon. Throw in the orange jerseys, the cool helmet, and some guy named Elway, and I was hooked. Growing up a Bronco fan was great because the Broncos were so successful, and they featured one of the greatest QBs in the NFL. I am now 30 years old, and these past four seasons were the first time in my lifetime that Denver failed to make the playoffs four seasons in a row. Right now the Denver Broncos are a stale franchise. They are not a bad franchise by any means, but the Broncos are in the need of a jumpstart. Just like the Broncos needed a jumpstart in 1983, the Broncos of 2010 need a little kick in the ass. The one player that can do that for them in none other than Tim Tebow.


Tebow would be just the polarizing figure the Broncos have needed since John Elway retired after the 1998 season. The only way to get back to the elite in the NFL is to have that franchise QB. Kyle Orton is a nice player, but he only plays well enough to get your team to 8-8, 9-7, or if your lucky 10-6. The Broncos need a star at QB. Yes, they had a possible franchise guy, but we all know what happened to Mr. Cutler. Now is the perfect time to start fresh with quite possibly the greatest college football player of all-time: Tim Tebow.

Tebow and the Broncos are a perfect fit. Josh McDaniels says that he is looking for a certain type of player. That player must be a hard working, team oriented type of guy. He also must possess intelligence and determination to put the team in front of any personal accolades. Tebow is exactly that type of player. He is the pure definition of what McDaniels is looking for.
Also, Tebow is a perfect fit for Denver based on the type of offense the Broncos now employ. Most of the time Denver is set up in the shotgun formation. Tebow spent his whole career in the shotgun spread offense at Florida. Plus, McDaniels is a fantastic QB coach. He could work wonders with a player of Tebow's physical skills. Tebow would listen to his young teacher, and the two could really feed off of each other. As Kyle Orton or Brady Quinn commands the offense this season, Tebow could sit back and watch and develop. You could also use Tebow in various packages. A wildcat or a shotgun set on short yardage and goal line situations would be perfect for Tebow. It would be beneficial to him, and give the Broncos another option on offense and another weapon for teams to defend. This marriage makes too much sense. It is not like Denver needs to sell tickets, but they need a buzz again in that stadium. Tim Tebow brings that buzz. He puts Denver back on the map. What is more intriguing for a Bronco fan? Watching Kyle Orton every week or Tim Tebow developing? Your answer should be Tebow, and the Broncos should find a way to draft him. It is a waste if he goes to Jacksonville, Carolina, or Buffalo. The Broncos should scoop him up. If QB is the most important position on the field, then why not maximize the competition. Who cares if we go into training camp with Kyle Orton, Brady Quinn, and Tim Tebow (Thanks for showing up, Tom Brandstater). The Broncos need to make this move. Tebow is the answer. McDaniels had the balls to ship out Jay Cutler, why not hike up the skirt one more time and give the Bronco fans something to really rejoice about. Get Tim Tebow and McDaniels can begin to build his shrine in Denver next to John Elway. We are going to lose a guy who wears #15 on our team this year, why not add another guy who wears #15.
