I think he could be a back-up today, if the Broncos needed him to be one. Heck, he started the last 3 games last year (and did just fine), with Orton riding the bench.

The truth is, I think you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone outside of Florida or Colorado that loves him.
I like Tebow(well, not very much as a player), but I don't think he got to the top of NFL jersey sales on the backs of Florida and Colorado alone.
That's a good point, TT.
I think the consensus here (GRB) is that nobody really likes him (except you and I)........ or at least that's the impression that I get. I guess there's not much middle ground, you either really like him or really dislike him. I can "kinda" see why people question his football ability, but I'm not sure what's not to like about him, as a person.

For every person that likes him for his outspoken religious convictions, there's at least one person who is going to find that off-putting. I've already said I don't dislike him personally. I just don't understand why a third string quarterback warrants constant discussion on ESPN. He's like Joba Chamberlain to the hundredth power.
And it just doesn't seem to be slowing down either. Miami fans continuously tweet things about trading for Tebow etc. apparently not understanding that Tebow isn't any good.

I imagine Tebow would be a more effective quarterback then Chad Henne right now, actually. He'd certainly be more fun to watch.
He's an exceptional athlete, a smart kid, and his work ethic is off the charts. There's a reason he dominated the best conference in college football. There's not much reason to think he can't play in the NFL in some role. Is he ready right now? Probably not. He has plenty to learn.
