Tebow"ed"

 Ever since, I saw the famous Tebow post match press conference speech after the Gators loss to Mississippi back in 2008, I was inspired by this player. Not that he made a flashy claim to play hard or anything, but his sheer ability to take the blame on himself and to inspire his team to greatness is something very few leaders have in them, especially these days.


So in 2010 when Tebow, entered the NFL draft, very few rooted for him to make a successful career as a quaterback. Ex Indianapolis coach Tony Dungy said he would draft Tebow top 10 and would start him any day over the rest of the class of 2010. One of the nations top QB's from college from 2006-2009, Tebow was drafted by the Denver Broncos, 25th overall in the first round. Coach Josh Mcdaniels, used Tebow in a few wild cat formations before Starting him against the Raiders on December 19, 2010. 

In 2010, Tebow passed for 654 yards and 5 touchdowns in 6 games. He also had 6 rushing touchdowns. At the start of the 2011 season, much was debated if Tebow should start over Kyle Orton. With the change in Coaching personnels, Orton was favored over Tebow and started the first 5 games. However, with a 1-4 record, Orton was benched at half time in the 6th game and Tebow started. He threw for 1 and ran for another touchdown against the Chargers, which he lost. with a 1-5 record and the season in jeopardy, Denver looked up at Tebow. He started the next 6 games and the rest is history. The Broncos with a 7-5 record are looking at Play-off chances. Tebow has been one of those rare types where you would never expect him to have a successful passing game, yet he delivers results. He's not a QB of stats, but wins. 



Tebow has been mocked by a lot of fellow NFL stars for his display of god fearing faith during and after games. Despite all the debates, the criticisms, the mockings, Denver looks up to Tebow and the leader leads his team. I hope they make it to the play-offs.

For now, the team needs to play hard and win the rest of their games. Go Broncos !!!!! TEBOWWWWW!!!
