Also Tim Tebow has a smart brain, which I think they should utilize in any way that they can.

I definitely have seen a swing back to management and coaches trying to get Tim Tebow out. They thought he would do it himself, but instead he put the Broncos in the play offs. So now they are setting up Tebow to fail. They are squelching his positives and trying to make him uncomfortable to accentuate the things on which he needs to improve. They have always praised other players on the team as they should, but left Tebow out of their praises. Yes, they have never been behind him. And yes, this losing streak is the team; the same as they made it known that the winning streak was the team.

In the big picture, the broncos are 7-4 this season under Tebow and that’s not bad. Does he have room for improvement? Yes, a bunch! But he also has shown enough skill, moxie and leadership to give him the benefit of the doubt. It is very true that the receivers are not getting open and flat out dropping the ball far too often. Some of that is due to a lack of offensive rhythm in the passing game.
Also the OC still hasn’t responded to the defensive game plan the last few games. If they rush the edges hard but leave three lineman in the middle to clean up if TT scrambles, the OC needs to adjust the passing game to take advantage of the static lineman in the middle. The other option is to bring in motion a player from right to left to open up the lane for TT to roll left into his comfort zone. They chip the rusher then go for a TE screen.
All through the winning streak, the team kept saying they were team wins. Let’s see this losing streak in the same way.

I can’t be the only one that noticed the coaching staff that is doing everything they can to make Tebow look bad, come on play the KC game back look at the play calling they wont give him a chance to make a play. He does need some work but eveyone knows he is not a pocket passer and if you look at the plays he rolled out on he completed those passes an they options to the outside also went for positive yards. You can’t expect him to make those obvious passing plays from the pocket with 8 gyuys in the box and recievers who werent getting open. Why did we not try the no huddle to change momentum and let him get in a rythm, why because that’s when he is at his best. I can tell you what plays were comming in the KC game, you think maybe KC figured it out too. It’s obvious the coaching staff still wants him out, but there making it a little too obvious. Just let him play, they saw him getting better every game so they had to do something and the last two games showed that.

CZSharon: Kyle Orton did play bad during the 1-4 stretch, but Tim Tebow is playing worse; as a quarterback in the NFL it is his job to make plays from the pocket, yes all be it average receiving core, he needs to get better and every game I’ve watched him play he’s been awful for three and half quarters, but in the last five minutes he finds a way to get a victory(with the defense playing lights out of course) but that style of play won’t last in the playoffs against the likes of Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and New England. You just can’t go 6-22 for 60 yards passing and expect to beat any team in the NFL, and every one keeps forgetting that the opposing gets payed to make plays too.

Old Warhorse; Thank you for this great info. Certainly explains things. Yes, I too have seen well thrown balls from Tebow and yet, the receivers drop them. And it is chalked up as an incompleted pass, but certainly not Tebow’s fault.

I played left end in high school in the early sixtys.(that explains my user name.) We went to state playoffs every year that coach Sisson couched.
He taught us how to catch a football. He taught that if the passer was
throwing right-handed the ball would have a clock-wise spin so we needed
to lead it in with our left hand otherwise it would spin right out of or grip.
Lead it in with the right hand if the passer is left-handed.

I’ve seen a lot of well-thrown balls from TT that have spun right out of the
grip of the receivers. I think that Denver’s receivers coach needs to explain
basioc mecanics to the receivers.

If the ball is caught correctly it will spin into instead of out of your grip.

Oh how fast we turn. How soon we forget Tebow came in after Orton lost 4 and won 1 and turned it all around with 7 wins and 4 losses as a new QB. And seems to me it is these wins that put the Broncos in the AFC West.

Tim Tebow went 6-22 for 60 yards passing and 1 interception and these Tebow marks blame the coaching staff, first of all it’s not the coaching staff that holding Tebow back it’s Tebow that’s holding himself back.
Because one defenses have figured him out already, two the wide receiving core is OK, and three even if you get him some better receivers he still need to prove that he can actually throw from the pocket, and don’t even start bragging about his records in high school and college because those are two completely different levels.(Just a reminder for FLgator douche that constantly blames the coaches for Tebow’s sucking during Denver’s three game losing streak)The NFL is a completely different level than the SEC, and Big 12 and the powder puff teams that Tim Tebow has played against while he was playing at Florida.
