Elway trying to draft the next Elway

and despite throwing twice as many times, only had 45 more yards than Tebow.

I think anyone would be a fool to argue that Tebow is a good passer but I think it's also foolish to think that a quarterback's job is only to pass. You've got to lead and you've got to take care of the ball and you've got to keep the defense off balance. Tebow excels in doing all of those things. You can call it luck but 5-1 is 5-1. As they say, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

Rivers (and the Chargers) have been pretty abysmal this year. I really don't know what happened to him. Once again Tebow was good late in the game, but he didn't do anything extraordinary in OT. You are right in the fact that he doesn't turn the ball over.

Not really sure it's luck, like mentioned above he's not losing games for them, but I really think something should be mentioned about the defense that has averaged giving up 15 pts against a game in those 5 wins. Granted that he has made some big plays when needed, but he really hasn't had to put the team on his back and carry them in a shootout as of yet. The o-line should probably get an honerable mention as well.

The 5-1 record is more indicative of them getting solid play from the entire team.

Is it safe to say the entire team plays solid because of Tebow and the type of man/leader he is. I think thats a big part of it.

I don't know the dynamics of the team well enough to answer that. I would think that he's probably a part of it. But don't forget that you also have a guy like Brian Dawkins who is an absolute warrior, leading the charge as well. John Fox probably deserves some credit too.

Life is always easier when you are winning, their schedule gets a little deeper in a few weeks (vs Bears, vs Pats @ Bills), we'll see if they are a legitimate or not. But if you are a Broncos fan and expected nothing from the season, you're pretty much playing with house money right now. Might as well enjoy the ride.

The last 3 TD's were a:
Willis McGahee 60 yard rush
Eddie Royal 85 yard punt return
Willis McGahee 24 yard rush

Right, i vaguely remember. was watching while shooting craps at the Hooters Casino of all places. These are not the mid-90's Cowboys though and McGahee isn't Emmitt, the only reason they can run the ball this well (this was the worst rushing team in the league for 5 games) is the game plan and Tebow. It is like when Vick first showed up in the NFL and nobody knew what to do.
He did throw the ball very well yesterday too, a few drops get caught on 3rd and medium and the game might not have been as close.

Tebow 35:32
"Have faith and against all odds I will deliver"

nfl teams now lining up to draft sh*tty quarterbacks.

Just win. Finally had to piracore another team and they put up 35. Tebow 10/15 for 202 yards. A big pass on the tying drive and a perfectly thrown pass that was dropped that would have been a third touchdown. I don't care if they are playing the Colts and Rams every week, 5-0 on the road in the NFL is not easy, especially when you've only started 10 career games.

Tebow could be the GOAT
