Show me that you can slide protections the right way, that you can audible to the right play, that you can make the good 20 yard out-route passes. Because you're going to have to do this against NE. Beat a quality team with little, to no injuries, then I'll become a full believer of TT being a good nfl starting QB. Like I said earlier I loved tebow when he was at Florida, always thought he's a great college QB, but NFL he has to single win me a game on his own. Keep in mind his Defense has be playing great, his OL is very young and good giving him lots of time to throw, and his WR's are one of the better cores in the league.

Read the damn post. He beat a battered up pittsburgh defense with out 3 of its starting DL, and their FS (as well as their offense missing some of their key starters Mendenhall, A healthy big ben, their OL always shifting guys around). It wasn't a traditional good steeler defense (nor team), it was a mediocre one, which he still almost lost to...And I'm just saying beat NE with Belichick whose considered a defensive wiz that is nearly unstoppable to beat when he has a bye week to plan for your team. Plus he beat them last time with his defense and made Tim look like the bad QB we always debate about. Beat NE then I'll think he's a good NFL QB, he still hasn't shown me consistency to give me a definite answer. Keep in mind he lost 3 straight before this post season win on this 8-8 team.

I have no idea why no one mentions the fact that Big Ben was hobbling around the field. I think the injuries on defense happen and they really shouldn't be an excuse. To add to that, Ryan Clark's replacement did a decent job out there. However, not having Ben at 100% was a pretty big deal; at healthy Ben turns those 2 FGs into TDs. Still, it doesn't take away from the Broncos play, but it is hard to disregard the fact that it would have been a different game had Ben been healthy (which is the Steelers fault for playing him against the Browns).

This doesn't matter. New England is 31st in defense. They can't stop anyone. Hatters are going to say, "Tebow didn't do anything because the NE defense sucks. I'll only believe in him if he beats Team X in the conference championship."

I know, NE's defense is playing awful this year, but they stopped him last time with the same guys is what else I'm trying to say. NE would be huge. But like people said, it's his defense that is key. NE forced 17 points of turnovers from Denvers offense, most of them off of Tebow, NE is the win Tebow needs not just from the non-believers, but for Elway as well. Keep in mind Elway is still reportedly trying to draft a QB. I'm done talking about Tebow. I hear his frickin' name every frickin' hour of the day where ever I am. As much as I hate NE, and Love Tebow from his college days, I also wish we can stop hearing about him everyday on ESPN. I wish we can fix his bi-polar play and he can make up his mind as to if he's a good qb or a bad one. One week he plays great, the next week he plays awful, the next good, you see the pattern.
