Tim Tebow: Denver's new starting quarterback?

The Denver Broncos were down 16 points to the San Diego Chargers in the third quarter when John Fox inserted Tim Tebow into the game.  Tebow ran for one touchdown and threw for another, dragging Denver back from the dead and bringing the team to within a last-second end-zone pass of victory, only to fall short.  San Diego beat Denver 29-24, but today everyone’s talking about Tim Tebow’s play.  He was rusty, only going 4-10 for 79 yards and a touchdown while running 6 times for 38 yards and another score.  However, he was much better than Kyle Orton’s 6-13 for 34 yards with one interception.  Should it be Tebow time in Denver?

I think it should be.  There’s a reason former coach Josh McDaniels picked the national championship-winning Florida Gators quarterback in the first round.  There’s a reason former Florida Gators head coach Urban Meyer built an offense around Tebow.  If you play to his strengths, you’ve got a great quarterback on your hands.  The NFL is full of coaches, such as Denver coach John Fox, who are not willing to use their best players in ways that allow them to be successful.

Running quarterbacks can win in the NFL, if you know how to use them.  Look at Randall Cunningham.  Look at Steve Young.  Look at Roger Staubach.  Look at current quarterbacks like Cameron Newton and Michael Vick.  Newton and Vick are both mediocre throwing quarterbacks with weird deliveries.  Both run way too much.  Yet both are very successful thus far in their NFL careers because they’ve got coaches who use their strengths.  If Newton and Vick can do it, so can Tebow.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
