or if they will waste another opportunity like they did with orton.

Responses:

We will give you one first round pick to keep him in Denver -- nm - AFC West Owners Nov 28, 06:49 7
- Oh, you like getting beat at home? Um...ok. We're glad to oblige. nm - Jim Nov 28, 06:50 6
  - As a 49er fan I can see our defense is helping our horrible QB. I still want a QB upgrade though. - Bacon Nov 28, 07:01 5
    - you really dont like to let go of things you dislike do you? - tRuMaN Nov 28, 07:08
    - The only question is who figures it out first...does the NFL figure out Tebow's skillset (as they did the Wildcat) or does Tebow figure out how to be - Will Hunting Nov 28, 07:04 3
      - I think the problem is they have figured him out. Getting less than 20 points a game and less than 300 yards total isn't lighting the league on fire. - Inigo Nov 28, 07:16
      - I agree. If he can figure out how to become a pocket passer with a threat to run then he can be molded into a long term solution. - Bacon Nov 28, 07:08
      - this. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 28, 07:08

- This may or may not be true, but I just can't understand this line of thinking. I mean, what's the objective of every NFL boss? - Jim Nov 28, 06:49 16
  - its a double edged sword. what happens if they start to lose consistenly with tebow but the fan base is still fanatical? -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 28, 06:51 15
    - I'm sure his detractors were sharpening their knives yesterday before he won it in OT...*looking at you Merrill Hoge* -- nm - Beaker Nov 28, 06:53 14
      - Hoge has switched to the ole "they haven't played anybody" argument now. - Jim Nov 28, 06:54 13
        
        well in truth, he has played a perennial elite defense yet? -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 28, 06:56 12
        
        the Jets D seems to only be non-elite when Tebow is involved in the conversation... -- nm - Beaker Nov 28, 06:58 9
        
        If you look at the Jets D this year, you could easily make the case they are not elite. 19th in Pts Allowed. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 28, 07:01 2
        
        Will the Jets even make the playoffs? Most likely they won't. Unless they run 5 wins in a row -- nm - Bacon Nov 28, 07:02 1
        
        Or, you could check them out and realize they're 8th in the conference....1 game behind Cincy and tied (losing the tiebreak) with Denver. - Will Hunting Nov 28, 07:06
        
        i guess i was thinking of those teams who always seem to rank in the top 10 (not just recently) - tRuMaN Nov 28, 07:00
        
        and the Steelers only put up 13 against KC last night -- nm - Beaker Nov 28, 06:59 4
        
        24th in points allowed. - Will Hunting Nov 28, 07:12 3
        
        exactly, that defense seems to be keeping the games close, not tebow -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 28, 07:24
        
        I think this is key. Teams should be concentrating more on figuring out Denver's defense moreso than stopping Tebow completely. -- nm - Inigo Nov 28, 07:20 1
        
        yeah, they're playing big-time right now...between Von & Elvis, it's a strong pressure defense. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 28, 07:28
        
        I guess the question is...does it matter? He's now swept the division IN THEIR HOUSE...that's not easy to do, even in the AFC West. - Jim Nov 28, 06:58 1
        
        The Raiders did it last year, and didn't make the playoffs. The swept all games home and away -- nm - Bacon Nov 28, 06:58
I can't see them getting much value truthfully. He's very LOVE/HATE and I don't see that equating to much in trade value - Beaker Nov 28, 06:38
