Free Tim Tebow!!

Ok, so I thought this would be the absolute best time for me to really go off on how frustrated I am about the whole Tim Tebow as 3rd string quarterback topic.  Why did I feel like this was a good time?? Well i have been watching football all weekend like most Americans(or some Americans), I am sleep deprived and finally, I've been drinking!!

Before I dive in about how PO'd I am, I am going to give everyone a brief(and that is probably an exaggeration) synopsis of who Tim Tebow is. Tim Tebow is a 2 time National Championship winning, Heisman trophy winning QB out of the University of Florida.  He was a home schooler who goes on missions trips during the off season, professes his love for Christ and at a point mentioned keeping his virginity until he would become married(although I'm sure he has some of the most pristine options(code word for hunnies(code word for sexy ladies))coming his direction and if he maintains it he would be a far better man than I.  Until then, I am the better man because I am a superior provider for my family, less his absurd athletic ability).  Tim is not your conventional QB and doesn't have the best mechanics but has always been a winning QB wherever he played. 

Last season, Tim's rookie season, he was the backup to starter Kyle Orton.  Fair enough as MOST rookie QBs don't start right off the bat.  Well Kyle Orton has never been a winner.  Kyle Orton has never been a sexy player.  Kyle Orton has never been debated as a top tier fantasy QB.  Kyle Orton kept the starting job and went 3-10 as the starter.  My boy, Timmy when finally given a chance, went 1-2.  Not a winning record, but a better percentage than Orton.  Statistically speaking, had Tebow been given the same opportunity as Orton, would have had a 4-9 record.  Tebow also averaged a better TD to turnover ration in that short sample than Orton did in his time as well.

This isn't me saying that Tim Tebow is some amazing QB, but an opportunity is just that, a chance.  Wake up Denver Bronco big wigs, Kyle Orton isn't and has never been, much less ever will be a good QB.  He isn't sexy and definitely isn't a winner.  Kyle Orton couldn't beat out Rex Grossman for a starting job in Chicago.  Enough said!!!

At 4:25 left in the 4th Quarter of the Raiders v Broncos game IN DENVER, Kyle Orton has yet to help his team score.  His stat line includes an interception, a fumble and no TDs.  Kyle isn't a winner.  Your team isn't good.  Why not see what you have on your team and see if you can possibly make something happen for the future.  the fans in the game are currently yelling for TEBOW now. hahahaha.  Wait, look at that, Orton just threw a pass that Lance Ball took, jumping completely over a defender for a TD.  That's good for him.  Orton is gonna need all the help he can get after this game is over and the newspaper articles start rolling. 

I am a bit of a homer.  I love the University of Florida.  I root for Tim Tebow.  Cameron Newton, a QB who left UF(University of Florida) because he couldn't pass Tebow on the depth chart, went to a junior college and won a Championship.  he then transferred to Auburn and won the Heisman and a National Championship(like Tebow) and was later selected 1st overall by the Carolina Panthers just threw for 422 yards and scored 3 TDs in his 1st career game.  His team has given him a chance, despite him not knowing the full playbook, being very raw and having a shortened off season.  he showed them what he could do.

I wish the Broncos nothing but the worst and I hope Tim gets all the reps in he can and continues to make himself the best he can.  Maybe they can release him at the end of the year and he can sign with a team willing to give a proven winner a chance.  Last I checked, winners are pretty few and far between and are always in high demand.
