I remember the tremendous hype including "The Elway Watch" where John couldn't even go shopping because it was so closely scrutinized by the public and the media. One thing about Elway stands out above all others, Elway absolutely MUST WIN! The story was once told that he bought a brand new pool table, practiced dilligently and invited another Bronco over for a "friendly game." After John lost, he immediately got rid of the table! Say that to say this, John has one overriding concern, bring winning tradition back to Mr. Bowlen. If that means Tebow time, so be it. If it means next year's draft, so be it.

"About Elway, as much as many fans here seem outraged over his lack of endorsement of Tebow long term, have any of you giving it the thought that he is just telling exactly how he feels about the whole thing, that he hasn’t found the long term QB yet, he is not saying it might not be Tebow, in essence he is just saying the decision hasn’t been made yet, and the long term Bronco QB might or might not be on this roster now, at least that’s what it sounds like, he is being truthful and I respect that and sorry to the Tebow fans who can’t take it, just hope Tebow keeps winning and improving and then maybe Elway will tell you what you want to hear, but for now Elway is looking at it exactly how I am: Not sure yet". Yet, everything you said is exactly true. Tebow fans don't want to come to terms, all they see is that the "TEAM" is winning right now and somehow, someway, Tim Tebow is the ultimate responsible party for making it happen. Granted he has that persona that holds people's attention, but what people have to realize is, our defense is now healthy and playing top 10 football right now and it coincidentally coincided with Tebow taking the reins... @Bay:

The better question to Elway would have been: Did Stanford’s loss to Oregon diminish your Andrew Luck man-crush?

I can't fault Elway for his comments. Especially when I do not know if Tebow is our long term answer yet. Way too early to tell. When Elway was interviewed before the Jets game he had nothing but praise for Tebow. He said he's a winner and makes the players around him better. It's amazing the flack Elway has been taking for answering the difficult questions with honesty. I completely agree Bay. I can’t fault Elway for his comments.

That ought to make watching the rest of the season that much more interesting no matter what side of the fence you're on, LOVE IT, BRING IT ON TEBOW, TAKE US TO THE PLAYOFFS! That probably would mean second mission accomplished, LOL. And Skip is saying nothing new, lots of folks have said all along the long term starting QB for the Broncos is not on the roster yet.

He's not ready to annoint TT as the franchise QB. What's wrong with that? He hasn't said Tim Tebow will not be the future QB of the Denver Broncos. He simply just doesn't know yet. Would you all rather he come out and say TT is our future when he isn't sure, only to see him turn around and go in another direction? That would be much worse in my eyes. TT is getting an opportunity to play right now.........and that's all he needs to focus on. He can't be worried or threatened about what might happen next year.

Or maybe he is not truthful and he already has someone in mind who could be that someone, and that's a distinct possibility too, and in this case you guys are totally justified for screaming at Elway now for your boy Tebow because you wait to do so and it will be too late, LOL. The only sure thing we know at this point is Elway does not think Tebow is equipped as is to be the man yet, and I'm fine with that. Prove him wrong Tim is your only option as it has been your entire career, the NFL is no different. Mission accomplished, thanks Gray.

Being 17 years old, i have honestly latched on to Tebow, One of if not the most encouraging,inspiring,motivating, charismatic person i have ever seen in my life, and i am thankful that the Denver Broncos my favorite organization in the world was blessed to have stumbled upon this person, and to hear that Tebow would most likely be gone by next year enrages me and honestly depresses me a little bit.! My friends and family say i get a little to wrapped up in the NFL and Broncos football, maybe they are right, but to have a person like Tim Tebow in our league and on our team, its very hard not to be, but i was still wrapped up in it pre-Tebow....just saying!!!

I can't stand the guy, especially on the ESPN 30 for 30 about SMU... He makes it sound like he single handedly brought down the whole show while working for the local paper... Let's hope he's wrong... I can't believe for a second that they won't keep Tebow... and I can only think of about 3 guys I'd have more confidence in as my QB right now (Rodgers, Brees, Brady... that's it, I believe in TT) You can't have VON TEBOW football without a TEBOW!!!
