Tim Tebow - 8.17.21 Waived By Jacksonville (3 Viewers)

[moleculo]

I don't think that's the case. I believe Orton would be the one deactivated.

No. When the emergency QB goes into the game, no other active QB can go back in.I wonder what's to stop Denver from listing Tebow as an RB, though. Then they could just have "one" active QB (Orton), Tebow would be free to do his thing, and if Quinn had to come in Tebow would remain active.

before the 4th qtr. if oyu use the emergency QB in the 4th quarter, other QB's can come back in.If you list Tebow as a RB, might as well list him as a QB3. There's no rule that QB3 can't be on the active roster; coaches generally don't do that because that gives them one less person at one other position, and they are still covered in case of some emergency. There's nothing wrong with cartying 3 QB's - i think Philly probably did last year w/ McNabb, Kaub and Vick. IMO, the 09Eagle QB situation is similar to the 10Bronco QB stituation: starter/back-up/wildcat. The difference is that in Philly, back-up QB is QBotF whereas in Den, wildcat QB is QBotF.

If you listed Tebow at RB, you wouldn't need to dress 3 QBs. Dress Orton and Tebow, leave Quinn as the emergency QB (not taking up a roster spot). That way when he comes in, Tebow can still play... but you still get the roster advantage of only dressing two QBs.

If you call Tebow a RB, then Quinn becomes QB2, which I don't think is eligible for the emergency QB role...I'm pretty sure that's only for QB3.Besides - I don't think anyone would let a team get away with that....it's a rather obvious ploy to work around the rules. I don't think that the NFL would buy someone drafted as a QB, who McD is on record as saying he will play as a QB, wearing #15 (a number ineligible for RB's to wear), and who takes snaps from the center, is a RB.

Anyone who's active on game day can line up under center and take a snap. Having Tebow active at RB on game day is hardly "working around the rules", any more than having Ronnie Brown active at RB is. By listing him at RB, the Broncos would be giving up an active game day slot that could be used by another player; that's why there are roster limits. Quinn would be QB2, and he doesn't need to be the emergency QB, because you have someone else who can be QB on the active roster. The only reason emergency QB exists is to give teams the ability to have a third QB without having him on the active roster.

What SSOG is posing (as I understand it) is that in a 53 man roster, the Broncos have Orton as the only active QB, Tebow @ RB, and 51 other players. Should Orton get hurt in the first quarter, Quinn (the designated emergency QB) comes in and Tebow is still eligible to play. I don't think that's feasible, and would clearly be a work around.I think when the season starts, there will be two possibilities:

[*]Orton, Tebow, and 51 other players w/ Quinn as emergency QB. in this case, if Quinn plays in the 1st three quarters, neither Orton nor Tebow are eligible to return.

[*]Orton, Tebow, Quinn and 50 other players. In this case, there are no restrictions, and it really doesn't matter if Tebow is considered a QB, RB, HB, TE, whatever.

We are in agreement; you don't get to use the emergency QB slot without someone listed as QB#2.

John Elway will be rolling over in his stable.

I don't care how bad Tebow is he can't be worse than Brady Quinn tonight. My god Rick Mirer laughs at this joke of a 1st round QB

Like how Tebow is always wearing a helmet when shown. I wonder why

 

[rizzler]

if its a reference to his haircut... they fixed it. all bald.

 

[Raider Nation]

They'll turn Timmy loose in the 4th quarter against Cincy's 14th-string defense to increase his chances of success.

Probably a smart move.

 

[Ace08]

As someone who has lived in Florida all of their life and seen the majority of Tebow's games over the last 4 years.....I'd be absolutely shocked if he amounted to anything in the NFL. I'll take it a step further...I'd be pretty shocked if he's still in the league playing QUARTERBACK 5 years from now. He's either gonna change positions or he'll be looking for another line of work somewhere down the road.

The problems Tebow possesses aren't things that can be corrected with good coaching. He played QB in college cause he he fit perfectly within a gimmick offense but that doesn't necessarily translate to NFL success.

I'm not going to go into too much X's and O's detail and bore most of you.....but I feel pretty strongly that the Broncos basically wasted a first round pick here.

You're quickly becoming one of my favorite posters. That might not be a good thing though, so temper your enthusiasm.

Tebow better live up to the hype because if we have to replace Orton(and we will) during the season here in Denver - Quinn will not be doing it after this performance.

A 40-yarder that would've gone an additional 35 for TD. That won't show up in the stat line, but it was a tremendous throw by TT.

You jinxed him dude! The crappy 3rd team WR dropped this exact play minutes after you called it! LOL!!!

Agreed....Some day you will be asked what you were doing when Tebow made his debut and threw a 75 yrd TD to Matt Willis......me-I'm lying down on sofa and drinking a beer.

Can you imagine how many times that would have been shown on TV tomorrow had he completed it? ESPN would probably have put it on a loop and just ran it the whole hour on Sportscenter.

Say what you want about Orton, but he's got a really good winning percentage. Shockingly high considering the teams he has played for.

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

That delivery is not going to work at all. He takes days to throw it.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

I hate to say this, but how can someone be an announcer and NOT KNOW WHAT THE TUCK RULE IS?? Much less, the ENTIRE announcer crew.

How do these guys get these jobs?

 

[VaTerp]

I think Tebow could be an above average NFL player

as a TE/H-Back/FB

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

I CAN HEAR YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Football Jones]

In 2 years, Tebow is going to be a very nice FF QB. You can see it coming.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Haha, can you believe there were people out there that said Tebow has a weak arm? Holy moley that ball was a rocket.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Looked pretty good. Tough run for the TD.

 

[Novice2]

Where were you when Tebow scored his first touchdown in a NFL uniform?

 

[Brady Gaga]

I find Tebow to be very annoying and I still think Josh McDunce has made horrible personnel decisions but....

....Tebow did look good tonight.

 

[moleculo]

I thought that he looked ok. He had two TD passes dropped, including the perfectly thrown 40 yarder. Decent pocket presence - he hung tough with bodies flying all around him. Good escapability, he looks like he throws a better pass on the run then from the pocket. I'd expect to see lots of bootleg/moving pocket type of stuff, which is fine. He could definately use a quicker release, but outside of the one that got replayed and overturned, he did get the ball out in time and for the most part, took good care of the ball. He did a good job running the 1:00 offense as well.

One oddity - it seems to me that when he was in trouble, he scrambled to the right - awkward for a left handed QB. Is that what he usually did in college?

 

[Courtjester]

I thought Orton looked great, Quinn stunk up the joint, but there is promise in Tebow.

And the other thing to keep in mind, Denver didn't even try to run the ball tonight. Cin. knew they were going to throw every down. Denver attempted 15 rushes to 40 for Cin.

I would like to see Tebow get a year carrying the clip board and learning the NFL game, but with Quinn being this bad and the job pressure McDaniels may feel, I see him being #2 and going into some games that Denver is behind in.

Figures it would be against the Bengals <_<

 

[Buffaloes]

I thought the same thing as he moved to his right a few times.

 

[Detroit Fan 365]

Looked like he did in college, maybe I'm crazy, but it looked like plays Florida ran with him at QB. His First TD looked similar to Elway's running TD against the Packers in the Super Bowl didn't quite get the full helicopter spin though.

 

[LawFitz]

Tebow is going to be good, you guys. I said it, so it must be so.

All kidding aside, you can see that he has the "it" factor. The rough edges will be smoothed over with time. The big wind up is the only legit concern and it's something he can overcome. Not by changing it. By using his preparation, game instincts and mobility. These are things a guy like Leftwich doesn't even come close to in terms of comparison.

I see exactly the same progression we saw in college. Year one he'll be the wildcat. Year two and beyond he'll be the full time QB, with a ton of wildcat and spread play calling.

LOL at those of you who questioned the guy's arm strength. That was so frustrating to read during the predraft process. Hopefully you see now that arm strength is not a problem for this guy.

Tim Tebows unorthodox slow delivery was what raised red flags not the arm strength.

He has to be the #2 - per the #3 rules he can't come into the game for the Wildcat/Wildhorse stuff most are expecting him to be involved in.
