Tebow Time Over Already? Struggles In Big Loss

I don’t need to repeat myself.

I don’t need to say I told you so.

I don’t need to pile on the thousands of articles already written.

You know the stat line.  In the 45 to 10 beatdown the Broncos received from Suh and crew, Tim Tebow only completed 18/39, for 172 YDS, 1 TD, 1 INT.  This is coming off the win at Miami where at one point in the game Tim was 4 of 14 for 30 something yards and was sacked 6 times.

It is obvious by now.  Tim Tebow is not a NFL quarterback.  No one is buying what Tebownation is selling anymore.  Writers are backtracking on their words faster than Deion Sanders in coverage.  Some of us, have told you over and over again Tebow simply does not have the goods.  Is he the most exciting Broncos QB since Jake Plummer? Oh yes, I won’t argue that.  Can he make something out of what looks like nothing? Yes.  But Tebow doesn’t make routine plays that rookie quarterbacks such as Andy Dalton and Christian Ponder are already showing they can.

The accuracy is not there.  The arm strength isn’t enough for defenses to respect.  Tim isn’t going to run by you like Michael Vick.  He can’t shrug guys off him like Ben Roethlisberger and Cam Newton.  He simply has a limited skill set.  Nothing more nothing less.

Tebownation made their bed, now it’s time to lie in it.  You pressured John Fox and John Elway to do this.  Some of the same people who cursed Josh McDaniels’ ineptitude in one breath, but praised Tebow’s potential in the next are now seeing what some of us knew all along.  The Broncos are on a deep decline.  Starting Tebow only accelerated that decline but unfortunately it’s probably not going to end in this team getting bailed out by a once in a lifetime prospect landing in their laps.

I hate to be apathetic or anti climatic, but I’m just calling it as I see it.  Thanks to a novice “guru” in Josh McDaniels and rabid fan base clamoring for a quarterback who cannot throw, the Broncos are at their lowest point in team history.  As a fan you can only hope that the Broncos lose enough games to draft Southern California’s Matt Barkley and he pans out. If not the Tebow era and “Tebow time” may be remembered as the precursor to a revolving door of head coaches and quarterbacks.
