Tim Tebow Franchise QB?


Should Tim Tebow be recognized as the franchise quarterback of the Denver Broncos?  Typically the standard quarterback in the NFL can do a couple of things that teams look for.  The main thing would be to throw a football with accuracy with some velocity behind it.  The standard quarterback should also be able to stay in the pocket while going through their progressions while reading defenses.  Tim Tebow however doesn’t seem to be able to do either of those things.  So far he has led the Broncos to 6 wins with just 1 loss as their starter.  He has relied on his running ability and erratic freelance plays to barely pull out wins from week to week.  He has actually won a couple of his games without completing over 10 passes.  A new word, Tebowing, is actually floating around regarding his style of play.  It is a stab at the fact that he tends to not play very well for the first three quarters of the game but then miraculously makes a comeback in the fourth quarter.  People seem to have mixed reviews of his style of play but there is one thing that people can’t argue is that he has an unrelenting desire to win and that energy seems to have transferred to the rest of his team.  Will this now playoff eligible team make a run in the end of the season and actually compete in the playoffs?  Sure they have won the majority of the time with Tebow as their quarterback, but have they actually played a quality team yet?  I don’t believe they have but only time will tell if they have what it takes to be a contender.
