David The Denver Broncos lost their home opener last night to the Oakland Raiders by a final score of 20-23. I did not get to watch the game because i didn’t air until after 10pm on the east coast, so I’m relying on the highlights I’ve seen and the box score to provide today’s commentary. Based on what I’ve seen it doesn’t appear that Tim Tebow got into the game. Maybe some of you can comment and confirm.
From what I saw, Kyle Orton didn’t look good. Sure he threw for 300+ yards, but it was all dink and dunk. He also had an interception and a costly fumble. I don’t care what the national media says, Tim Tebow can not be worse than Kyle Orton. I hope the Broncos leave Orton in there for another week and he sucks it up again and then they’re 0-2. I want Broncos fans to really start killing the front office for the circus they created this offseason.
The Broncos get Cincy and Tennessee in their next two games. If they don’t win those with Orton it will have to be TEBOW TIME!

I hope that Fox and Elway are seeing the light and that they will begin to get Tebow ready to play before they are forced to change QBs. So far the Denver Broncos have done nothing to get TT ready because they put their faith in Orton. I watched that whole game. During the forth quarter, you could hear the fans booing Orton and calling for Tebow. Orton was given gifts of 15 yards after 15 yards due to personal fouls that the Raiders were committing, yet he could only get the ball in the end zone once. The other Bronco touchdown was a run back by Eric Decker. I wasn’t impressed with the defense either. They could not stop McFadden. That promised Bronco run game? Nonexistent! SB Nation said this morning that Tebow could not have made the long passes Orton did make. Any Gator fan will tell you he can. I’ve seen it time after time. I think if they had him prepared to go in the game last night, Timmy would have come back and pulled out a win. Miami should thank their lucky stars that Orton would not cooperate with them. Henne looked better in his loss to the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS!!! than Orton did to the Raiders.
Meanwhile Tebow waits patiently on the sidelines. Not complaining, not calling attention to himself. I believe his time will come and he’ll have an opportunity to show the coaches what he can do. Could be soon…
Psalm 37
7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil.
9 For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.
I watched the whole game, and waited for TTeBow to play! but he never did! Sure wish he could have gone in on the set of plays where we had the ball on the 5 yard line and 4 plays to make a touchdown, Tim would have put it in!!
I sure do love that guy!
The fans boo’n & chanting for tebow are doing one thing. They are pushing the vets on the team to not won’t much to do with tebow. Players do not like fans doing that kind of thing at all & will drive players, coaches & management away from him. The people there now didn’t draft him & if they see this as a continue’n issue he won’t play just for team unity. No one on teams likes when fans do that kind of thing during & even more so when its during the first game of the season. With that last night its gonna be even harder for tebow to have the team behind him, players can’t stand that stuff & it causes problems in locker rooms & has never helped get the player the fans want out on the field in a game.
I don’t think they’ll end up in last place in the NFL but if they do then Elway will draft Andrew Luck & that’s gonna be even more problem for Tebow to get to play.
Fans really shouldn’t do what they did last night cause that makes players turn their backs on the fan favorite real fast.
I would think the starting QB stinking up the field with his play would be a bigger issue than anything the fans are doing.Jason, you are hiding your disdain for Tebow behind a lot of rhetoric.
The fans aren’t the problem. Tim isn’t the problem. The problem is with the staff and has been all along. If they had believed in Tim and given him the support Carolina gave Cam Newton the picture would be totally different. (I didn’t say he would pass for 422 yrds in his opener.)I heard a commentator say recently that where there is great love there is always great hate. That certainly applies to Tebow. Last week Jim Rome played a clip where he asked a notoriously tough and notoriously obnoxious linebacker, “what would you have given to line up across from a guy like Tim Tebow?” A guy like Tim Tebow? No athlete has ever taken a stand for Christ like Tim and no athlete has ever been judged more harshly. I’ve watched him play and I understand he’s got ground to gain but your telling me the Broncos are better with Orton? By the way, the Broncos are so bad it has entered my mind that it may be God’s grace that he’s not playing. All the “experts” would surely have blamed him for last nights disaster. As for Orton, he is a decent quarterback but he makes Jay Cutler look like Mr. Personality. I think the fans are reacting because if they are going to watch the Broncos loose they at least want to see them lead by a proven winner that would have a year to develop into a fabulous NFL quarterback. The”experts” have declared the Broncos wouldn’t win over 4 games if Tebow were QB. I don’t see them winning that many without him. As for the rub between players, staff and Tebow that the fans may be creating, all that would go away with one victory lead by a passionate QB that acts like he wants to play.
Last night looked eerily similar to the past two seasons with Orton at the helm. Kyle is now 5-19 in his last 24 starts as the Broncos QB so while he’s not the only problem the team has, he’s clearly not the answer to anything. The rumored ‘Tebow Package’ didn’t exist, but it may now–Denver needs to do something. With injuries already becoming a problem over the past two weeks, Denver should start building for the future and give Tim all the first team reps and let him play as soon as he feels he’s ready. There’s no substitute for experience and Tim might as well go ahead and get some. With the running games of Cincinnati & Tennessee up next, we’ll need something new on offense, or a new defensive front in order to have a chance at winning. Surely every team in the league now understands that pressure on Kyle Orton is a lock to beating the Broncos.
I had a few friends at the game last night- the crowd starting chanting for TT during the 4th quarter. The Broncos are completely boring to watch..Orton isn’t any good; TT is exciting, and could well inject the needed energy into the team….and fill a few seats. Problem is, the coaches/management don’t think a whole lot of him- so they’re going to stick with ‘ol melba toast at QB until they’re forced (i.e. to keep their jobs!!) to put in TT. Think I’ll tune the team out till he starts playing. Its too awful to watch.
Until this team improves-especially the O-line, running game, & play calling-I don’t want Tim to be the starter. He’ll just get the blame for the team’s losses-as Orton is now-when it’s the entire team’s fault.
Tim will not play, because Denver can’t think stright.
Denver, Please release Time to a team that needs a good quarterback.
Remember, the difference in the score was a 63-yard field goal. Nevertheless, if the Broncos continue to lose even close games, then they’ll have to play Tim. Even the commentators said they weren’t playing with a sense of urgency (I think “uninspired” was used) late in the game. This is the part of the game where Tebow shines.
I am a Gators fan and live in Florida. I did stay up and watch the whole game on Monday night. My daughter lives in Denver so I am also a Broncos fan. Orton had the same old problem as before, when he gets to the red zone he stinks. He had a quaterback rating of only 45. Last yaer at the end of the season I had Tim on my fantansy football team and he was getting me and average of 27 points per game. If anyone watched the last pre season game he through a long pass for a touch down, and completely outplayed Brady Quin. The new staff at Denver is way behing where the rest of the NFL is. Look at what New England did in their last game. Every team is being creative in throwing the ball, not Denver.
The Denver fans have a right to boo!
I like tebow a lot, he was an amazing college player & I think he’s gonna be great in the pros in time. I have no disdain for tebow or any player, disdain, hate & all those types of things I feel for no one cause it doesn’t impact them, just me. What’s not to like about tim tebow, the world needs more people like him. I don’t care for the massive put down of tebow by the media but I also don’t care much for the proven winner & other things from fans. He’s not a proven winner in the NFL, he was in college & they are different. I like facts in football & somethings from college help kids get in starting roles in the NFL quicker but with QB in the NFL its a tricky thing with who will be good from the start & who won’t. Like cam newton, people are impressed with 1 game & so many things can go into that, when teams get more tape on him & the whole year goes by & then improvement to next will tell us if he’s good or not. 1 game makes no QB the hands down answer that can take a team all the way.
After a soild body of work put up for a whole season or 2 in the nfl will tell if a QB will be great & I’m about waiting till I see it happen week in & week out to say someones a great QB, we don’t have that yet with tebow & we’ll get it one day & see if he will be great but right now we don’t know. We can hope he will be but its not proven yet & not completely his fault cause even if play’n the teams not good. I call players great when they show they are. Until tebow gets his chance I see nothing to say he’s great & better than many QBs out there. I think elway wants tebow to be great but it could be that elway, who knows more about being a QB than all of us added together doesn’t see it yet. Why does that make elway wrong or a so called expert as people say when an expert says something they don’t like. Do will tell expert cooks they aren’t experts if they like cooking food we don’t eat? Fireman that they don’t know much about put’n fires out? Why is it so different with football.
I hope tebow does great cause I love the stories of people reaching their goals & dreams when others said its not possible, I faced & did that in business & wish everyone can do that.
If i agree or disagree it doesn’t matter, teams don’t like imput from the fans about who to play, go ask players & coaches how they feel about that. Its like any of us & the job we do having people walk in & want the kid from the mail room to be the new VP when the people working there have been around the kid & don’t feel he’s ready for that. For the NFL they give the starting jobs to the players that have earned it in training camps & able to do best at the system that the team’s coaches run. If tebow had done this he’d be starting, I know many people think its other ways they do it but they don’t, they don’t get the emotional attachment to a player or want to hold some other player back, they want to win. Almost across the board the rookie starting QB beat out the other QBs to be the starter. Matt ryan & joe flacco became starters their 1st year because they beat out the other QBs on the team for that job, now they had an advantage tebow didn’t have coming from college & that’s they came from pro set style & tebow came from the spread, that’s a world of difference. Tebow hasn’t won out yet with the coaches & what they want. Plus tebow has a whole new system to learn again this year as an unproven nfl QB which is very hard & very unfair for every rookie QB to have to go thru.
There’s no reason on earth for me to hate & disdain of any kind over tebow. I just like talking & watching football & with what is not with lots of emotions toward this player or that player, its the sport I really love watching not just a player & I want the best players to play the games & that best players by those that have proven in the nfl that they are the best. College I love too but they are not the same, ask coaches in both & players in both if you don’t think so.
I want tebow to be the starter for the broncos when he wins out that job, he’s a proven winner in college that’s fact & its also fact that he is not in the nfl yet. Takes atleast 2 seasons of starting to say a QB is a proven winner after defense get to no you from tape & throw things at you & you still win. Only about 10 pro QBs or less are proven winners, last year was the year arron rodgers proved he was, not because of the super bowl win but regular season & playoff wins cause playoffs are a whole other animal to deal with as well. These aren’t just my words these are what most anyone in the NFL will tell you.
I wish tebow the best in the world & look forward to see’n him get there in time when he’s proven in the nfl. Thanks everyone & please don’t think I have any hate or disdain for tebow cause I don’t, trust me i’d say so if I need. Take care all.
I stayed up and watched the whole game, too, even though I am on the east coast didn’t really think Tebow would get any playing time, I wanted to support the Broncos. The problem is this: in practice Orton looks really good going through the drills, routes, etc. and Tebow doesn’t (so they say.) But in the real-time game situation, Tebow is always at his best. Let him play! I’m sick of seeing other rookie QBs getting the start (and yes I realize in most cases there’s no other choice) and Tebow on the sidelines. Put him in and see what he can do. He is a leader and a motivator and the Broncos definitely don’t have that in Orton. Orton should have been pulled in the 2nd half when he went from mediocre to bad to embarrassing. Like the fans in the 4th quarter were chanting “Te-bow, Te-bow, Te-bow” we all want it. Put Timmy’s feet to the fire and let him learn.
Big Broncos fan here in NY
I am SICK and TIRED of seeing the same thing for the last few years with Orton running the Denver offense. Tim Tebow’s leadership, poise and drive ALONE would have put a spark in the offense that Orton could not and inspire the team. They looked stagnant and played with zero urgency out there. Sure, Orton was under pressure all night, but TT could’ve possibly made something happen on those plays and the Raiders defense would have to account for his mobility, something they don’t have to worry about with Orton.
The Denver Broncos DESPERATELY need Mr. Tebow on the field to save the 2011 season… I know it’s early, but if the Raiders didn’t shoot themselves in the foot it would’ve been a 30-40 point blowout again. They were TERRIBLE on Monday and if the ywere playing NE, SD, NYJ or any other good squad they’d have lost by 40+ points.
TT is the most promising QB Denver has had since John Elway. Denver is clearly in rebuilding mode. LET HIM HAVE HIS SHOT. If TT falters (AND I DONT THINK HE WILL) obviously Denver will have to draft a franchise QB iin 2012, but I dont see it. Tebow can flourish in Denver and put the Broncos back into relevance, instead of bottom feeders.
BRONCOS FRONT OFFICE, ARE YOU LISTENING?!?!! GIVE US TIM TEBOW!
Yea nice prediction jacka@#!
