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.
