Yesterday we mentioned that John Elway was going to to be named the Chief Football Executive of the Denver Broncos. Well, that’s exactly what happened in the afternoon. During his press conference he addresses Tim Tebow and his development with the Broncos. Ultimately, it will be Elway’s decision on which players stay, which ones are cut and who is traded.

“We all agree on one thing: Tim Tebow is a darn good football player,” Elway said. “What we have to make him is a darn good quarterback, and that is what we have to figure out.”

Elway’s said he has watched the film on Tebow – so he’s been able to analyze each play and pass Tim has made. He said Tim look “very raw” and some of his fundamentals in the pocket are iffy, but really … how many rookie quarterbacks come into the league as a polished QB? It takes everyone time — Tim has only had 3 games so far.

“Those are the things that he has to get a lot better at,” Elway said. “He’s got the intangibles. He’s going to make the plays that you can’t coach, as he did against Houston. He’s going to make those plays, but he’s got to be able to, for us to win a championship, he’s got those intangibles, but he’s got to win it from within the pocket.”

Tim Tebow has a game tomorrow night vs the Minnesota Vikings – we’ll bring you a game preview tomorrow morning. But for now, here is a video interview of John Elway breaking down Tim Tebow’s performance so far this preseason:

They talk about the electricity and excitement Tim Tebow brings back to Denver — something they haven’t had in years. Regarding Tim’s first touchdown of the preseason, the one where he got banged in the ribs, John said he thought it was great to see Tim go for the endzone and show his teammates the kind of player he’s going to be.

John Elway on Tim Tebow

First Coast News out of Jacksonville, Florida caught up with Denver Broncos great John Elway and asked his opinion of the newly acquired Tim Tebow. At least I think it was First Coast News doing the interview – it could just be them hosting the video from somewhere else. Anyway, John says in the interview that he has no met Tim yet, but he has only great things to say about him.

“I think there’s a connection already with Tim Tebow and the way he’s acted, come in answered with the media, the type of person he is. He fits perfect into this community,” Elway said. “I think that’s why everyone is excited about him because they kind of feel like you know he’s the next son of Denver. That’s how I felt when I came in.”

You can watch the entire 2-3 minute interview right here at Tebow Zone.
