The Broncos are once again spiraling into a colossal mess. My advice to Josh McDaniels and the rest of the Broncos organization…..draft Tim Tebow.

Is he the most talented quarterback in the draft? No.
Does he have the best throwing motion? No.
The strongest arm? No.
Will he even play quarterback at the next level? Who knows…who cares?

There is something to be said for character these days and Tebow has that.

As we watch the Broncos once again turn into an episode of “Days of Our Lives” , a good dose of character could do this organization good.

Josh McDaniels has frequently insisted that he wants to build a team of character and he’s proven that he is willing to stand his ground against those who don’t fit the bill. The next step…out with the old…in with the new.

The constant media love affair with Tim Tebow has gotten old over the past couple of years…drooling over what a great guy he is, what a winner his is. However, that being said, the fact that it has gotten old doesn’t make it any less true.

Tebow is the type of guy that teammates rally around, they listen when he speaks and he leaves every ounce of his energy and effort out on the field. He will never go down without a fight and would never let a tweaked hamstring keep him out of the most important game of the year. He isn’t the type of guy who will bicker over contract issues or give half an effort during a practice (see Brandon Marshall).

Again, Tebow may not look like the typical NFL quarterback, but then again the draft is an inexact science. Just look at Tom Brady…6th round pick with 3 Super Bowl rings, and Jay Cutler…a 1st round pick about to set an NFL record for interceptions in a season.

Winners are winners and losers are losers. Cutler and Marshall have all the talent in the world but will always be losers.

Tim Tebow could fall flat in the NFL, but I for one would be willing to give him a chance and wouldn’t bet against him.

I have watched Tebow since high school and he has always been a winner with character. Broncos should draft Maurkice Pouncy at Center with the 11th pick and then pray that Tebow is there at 43 or 45 and take him. Those 2 have been together for 3 years and would be a great foundation to grow with. Add a WR at 43 or 45 and you are going to be great in a couple of years. I married a lady from Colorado and have watched the Broncos on DIRECTV for the last 7 years, so I know what they need!

Tebow is way overrated he is the biggest bust in the NFL. He does not know how to read through the progression of recievers. drafting Tebow will be the biggest mistake the Broncos will have ever made

The Denver Broncos need leadership to be successful. After going 6-0 the first 6 games was great, but then they fell, because of Kyle Orton the Broncos then went 2-8 in their remaining games. Its time for a good leader to motivate the hard stomping Broncos. Thats why Tim Tebow should be their main draft pick.

Josh in regards to your comments to Daniel, Cutler and you had problems that was all your fault to begin with. Just about all of your coaching staff has left to go elsewhere for 2010, Brandon Marshall was giving you problems, so trade him already! What does this all tell you? You Suck as a head coach and no one wants to work for you, and the players don't really like you all that much, plus you come in here thinking that you can completely change the way OUR! Broncos play football, just because you came from the New England Patriorts. Josh you don't get it! this ain't New England! This is Denver Colorado, this is Bronco Country, we play football the Denver Bronco way and we treat everyone with respect including all of our players. So either win a Super Bowl in 2010 or leave Denver Colorado.

Denver needs to work on the front line of both sides of the ball. and get a good pass rusher to stop the pass and a run stopper...

Daniel, I would agree that if we are talking about talent then Marshall may be the best since 1999, but talent alone means nothing. A player who causes distractions in the lockerroom can be dealth with as long as it doesn't carry over onto the field. Unfortunately, Marshall has let his attitude impact the team on the field. We will probably never have a reciever of his talent level in Denver again, but there are plenty of guys who can get the job done. How many playoff games has Marshall helped Denver win? Zero. Time to try something different.

I agree. I wouldn't take him early in the draft but if he is available in the 3rd or 4th round then I say draft him. He won't be the starting quarterback but the more high character guys the better.

All those things you mentioned about having the best arm, talent, throwing motion? u just described Kyle Orton. The Broncos tried to remake themselves into a "team of character" and what did it get them? nothing more than last year. I know Marshall and Cutler are malcontents, but that's pro sports! not everyone in pro sports has great character, especially stars. Babe Ruth was at times a drunk and clashed with managers. Michael Irvin had his problems. the test of a good coach, and organization, is to be able to mold the personalities into a team that can strive for one goal. character isn't keeping us home or getting us beat by KC, Oakland, and Washington, its Josh McDaniels not being able to do that. says quite a bit about McDaniels character that he can't look past himself and compromise or admit his own faults. he'd better learn, because he's kidding himself if he thinks there aren't other Marshall's and Cutler's, and that he won't need them to win.

Lou Holtz is quoted as having said, "Motivation is simple. You eliminate those who are not motivated."

Jesse, I couldn't agree with you more, we definitely need a player like Tim Tebow playing for the Denver Broncos. But first things first, we need to fire Josh McDaniels as the head coach, and bring in Gary Kubiak as the new head coach of the Denver Broncos, and then trade Brandon Marshall to another team. Maybe, and I mean maybe we might be able to get into the playoffs next season, without waiting to see if, and I mean if! we make it into the playoffs in 2009, which I really doubt will happen.

i personally am a huge fan of tebow and i completely agree with you the guy is a great role model and will only give a team like the broncos more fan support and team support. tim tebow has a way of making a team the best it can be. bringin him in would "clean-up" any organization in hurt. He is nothing more than a quaterback wanting to do gods will no matter what the situation is. thanks for this. i would love to hear more from you and your opinion about tim tebow

I agree with what's written in this article. I am an avid Tim Tebow fan but I can see where he'll need a lot of work or improvement. With that said, Tebow's determination and character will surely help him in his transition. It makes me wonder why his virtues are received negatively by others instead of appreciating them. Do people really prefer to hear about athletes getting arrested,committing crimes and acting like "divas"? It is my opinion that Tim Tebow's character is a breath of fresh air in the sports world. I hope and pray that he will be able to hold on to it.
