Denver needed to scale back the offense so much in order to make Tebow semi-successful. Him trying to run Peyton Manning's offense would be so comical.
That is true! Tebow trying to be Manning would be comical, but what I meant was for Denver just to keep him as a second string, I will never expect Tebow to be Manning. Manning is contracted for 5 years, but sitting behind Manning doesn’t sound all that bad. Other notable QBs have done it and went on to have successful careers. Steve Young sat behind Joe Montana, Young had a pretty nice career when it was his turn. Aaron Rodgers sat behind Brett Favre, Rodgers is pretty successful now. Tebow could’ve became a sponge sitting behind Manning, and maybe picking up a few things for when it would’ve been his turn.
Also, the NFL is a physical, violent, and barbaric sport. Stuff happens, by that I mean injuries. Denver will need backup QBs, not just Denver, every team needs them. Look at what happened with the Houston Texans last year, they actually went through all 3 QBs because due to injuries. So having Tebow as backup wouldn’t have been such a bad idea.
I understand the guy has a flaws for that position, in terms of playing under center, presnap reads, anticipating the throw, and mechanics. I believe he will eventually address those issues. He just needs time, not to mention the things I mention in an earlier post.
