He's a good man, but I don't want him cuz he can't make the throws. If he wants to convert to a tight end or something, then fine.

1. He was playing in the weakest division in the country at the time. It's possible a college team may have been able to beat a couple of them.

2. The defense would keep the game within a touchdown.

3. The offense would do nothing for fifty five minutes except wear out the other team's defense.

4. Tebow would then come out on the field and drive down against an exhausted defense for a touchdown that he would usually score himself and miraculously "win" the game.

5. Pittsburg, the vaunted yellow and black then comes to Denver for a playoff game. Half their defense was in the hospital including Polamalu who was pretty much 50% of their defense that year. Pittsburg, the vaunted yellow and black, if you remember backed into the playoffs that year by the grace of having won some games early in the season and some other teams having lost some games late in the season.

6. Now I don't know if you remember what it's like for a depleted, exhausted defense to limp into the playoffs, so think back to our 2010 season and how easy it was for the opposing team to score on long plays against them.

7. Now the litmus test:
I'm not asking you to suffer through every %^$#@!! Broncos game that season which was almost as painful as watching reruns of a pro am golf game, but do watch carefully when Denver then had to pay a visit to the Patriots. They totally exposed the Broncos/Tebow for everything they/he weren't/wasn't.

You can look at paper and see how he "won" and "managed" games, but I had to sit through each and every one of them. It was a family thing. My father-in-law, bless his soul had gone blind and I had to describe each and every awful play of those games to him.

He is an amazing, tough, determined athlete who could greatly contribute to any team he belongs to. He seems like a nice guy, but he will never, ever be any kind of an even halfway decent quarterback regardless of who works with him until kingdom comes.

If there was ever a logical team for Tebow to sign with, it is probably with us. Payton may be able to find a way to get him involved in the game to maximize his potential, similar to what we did with Reggie.

And I couldn't imagine a scenario, no matter how bad it got, that the fans would start calling for Tebow to start. His attitude would be welcome and he'd have a offensive mind who could put him in a position to succeed.

Payton thrives on creating mismatches.

Brees is the clear QB and leader.

Those two points alone could be what Tebow needs to thrive.

I'm not for or against it. If he does somehow land in N.O. I'd be thrilled to see how he's used.

I agree with Halo.
From what is said over and over by the media, Tebow is and can be productive in other positions than qb.
If Tebow wants to have a career only as a qb , he might "want" himself out of a career with the NFL.
Seems he would now start looking at other areas where he can excell and start and where there are teams with openings and go for it.

It's obvious how Payton would use him. He would occasionally come in on short yardage and goal-line plays where his running ability will be utilized with the threat of being able to throw. Also, he can be used for H-back passes where Brees throws the ball to him and then he throws the deep ball which he does real well.

Peyton had an entire year to script an entirely new can of Whipa$$. Tebow would / could be another dimension for SP to rein hell on the entire NFL.

I personally like the guy and I like his determination. I believe with Brees as the undoubted QB and leader, Tebow could learn the system easily behind him like Chase Daniels did for 3 years. Stability is what this guy needs...3 different systems in 3 years?

I would trust Tebow at QB with a few years in the same system with Payton game-planning and calling the plays. Considering that, I'd take Tebow as the back-up over Wallace and McCown. Those 2 are non-developmental and are past their prime if they ever had a prime (channeling Major League), plus Tebow knows game-speed and is a very quick learner. And what everybody forgets is that Tebow was in just his second year and had a young and raw (though very talented) pair of receivers, no TEs worth mentioning, and an old RB when the Broncos made that 2011 run to and in the playoffs. Their D and spec teams were exceptional, but the offense around him then was not even close to average. Boy was thrown to the wolves in Denver and managed to win. W's and L's...who cares otherwise...
