Seriously? Yeah, I think everyone knows by now that Tebow doesnt have a textbook throwing motion. HE IS WINNING GAMES! STOP HATING ON THE MAN!
If by "textbook throwing motion" you mean the ability to play catch with a wookie, yeah, he's not text book. Seriously, its not hating to point out that the kid can't even throw a tantrum.
I like Tim, as a man, not because of his faith or any crap like that, but because he is a pro football player that actually handles himself like a professional, respects folks, doesn't beat his girlfriend, etc. I'm not one to encourage my kids to look up to athletes as roll models, but they could do worse than this guy. Now whether I like him as a football player remains up in the air. The broncs offense simply sucked last night with the exception of the 1st series and the last series -- the 1st was extremely good play calling by McCoy, in that they were spreading the ball all over the place from multiple formations, and EXECUTING, which made it very hard to defend -- they ate 6+ minutes of clock, even though they didn't score.
Now that last series made me reminiscent of TD back in the late 90's -- everyone knew that in the 4th quarter the broncs were going to feed you a steady diet of TD off left tackle. It didn't matter, he averaged 4.5 yards a carry off left tackle anyways -- the opposing team couldn't stop it, even though they knew exactly what was coming. Tim reminded me of that in the 4th quarter yesterday, because everyone in at Mile High knew it was going to be draw after draw, but they simply couldn't stop him. He can't throw (if he could, he would be legend already), but he does appear to have that winning "something" - entertaining.
My opinion, however, is not so much that Tim's feet are saving the broncs -- I think a pretty damn good defense (Von Miller is the real deal), and more the fact that Tim takes care of the football -- they eat clock and don't turn the ball over -- Orton was throwing it up for grabs right and left and that loses football games. Tim has something like 8 running TDs, 7 passing, and ONE interception (on a tipped ball no less). THAT is why the broncos are turning it around, I think. That, and the defense is surrendering 10-17 points per game this year, as opposed to 29 last season.
Now -- can they survive the next 5 game stretch? AT SD, AT Vikings, Chicago and the emo-boy-franchise-QB at home:jester:, New England at home, and AT Buffalo... that's a pretty tough stretch. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll truly be a believer until well, they've damn near completed the season -- to many odd things about this team.
That said -- GO BRONCS!:sunshine:
