Before everyone gets up in arms,Coach McDaniels isn’t comparing Tim Tebow’s quarterback abilities to Tom Brady’s. Brady is one of the best quarterbacks in the history of the game. He has 3 Super Bowl rings, threw over 50 touchdowns in a single season and has been at the top of the game for almost a decade. McDaniels said in a recent interview with the Denver Post that he thinks the confidence Tebow has on the field and in the locker room is comparable to what Tom Brady brought to the New England Patriots back in 2001. It’s just one of those feelings where you know you have a good thing going.

I found the following quotes on a blog Predominantly Orange, which is a Denver Broncos blog – and I believe they got the quotes from The Denver Post.

Coach McDaniels has made it clear that he hasn’t been as passionate about a QB since Tom Brady.

“When Tom (Brady) came to us in 2001, I wasn’t on the offensive side of the ball, but I can remember the feeling in the building was that he had something that nobody else had… and how strongly he felt that ultimately he would be a great player. It was obviously apparent in subsequent seasons.

When speaking about Tebow, McD said,

“That confidence affects everybody. We could see it last week at rookie camp. There were a bunch of rookies out there with no confidence, except him. He’s got such confidence that he will just not let himself fail.”

Coach McD went on to say,

“And that quality sometimes is very underrated. There are people with a great deal of God-given ability who are fun to watch, and it’s really interesting to see what kind of seasons they’ll put together. Then there are guys who will say they won’t fail, our team’s not going to fail, and they have a ‘I’m not going to let you down’ attitude. And that’s what you notice with Tim.”

So what do you think of his comparison? Post a comment and let me know.
