CBSSports.com's Mike Freeman wrote Sunday that, while the Denver Broncos may keep Tim Tebow, there is also a possibility the former Florida Gators superstar could be traded or released. Tebow played only six minutes in the Broncos exhibition Saturday against the Buffalo Bills, completing one of two passes, and getting sacked once. Brady Quinn came into the game second, ahead of Tebow, as coach John Fox implied that he was rotating the No. 2 quarterbacks in the exhibitions until he makes a decision.

I think that he got screwed for no good reason. And douche bag Kyle Orton refused to speak with him all last year- like it was Tebow's fault that Denver drafted him. What an a-hole.
He was such a huge star in college that somebody will give him a chance even if it's not Denver. Jacksonville could finally get people to go to their games if they picked Tebow up. He's practically a god in that area.
They were competing for the same job, I wouldn't be calling Orton a d-bag when he's under 30 himself and pretty good. I wouldn't be amped to help the guy trying to take my job either.
There are many incumbent QBs who have been in the same situation and treated the young QBs with more class.
Tebow was named the starter. That's like being said you're going to get a promotion and then the last minute the boss changes his mind and gives it to someone else. I'd be pissed if I were in Tebow's situation... practically lied to in a sense.
I would be disappointed if I were in Tebow's situation because I would know that I did not earn the job that was handed to me.
He had earned it. He sparked the team last year after Orton was benched. They only won one of the three games he started, but that was a better percentage than they had under Orton (3 out of 13). The team just looked better with him playing. But with the coaching change and the new system and the lockout he just couldn't compete with the vet.
He's a game player more than a practice player. McDaniels realized that but Fox didn't have the the chance to see it.
They were competing for the same job- so what? That makes it ok to completely ignore your team mate for the whole year? That's pathetic. Kyle Orton: Douche Bag
As if the better passing player wouldn't have led his team to a win vs the Houston Texans who had one of the worst secondaries the NFL has ever seen. Tebow's lesser ability showed in practice this year. If a coach really thought a particular QB could help his team win more games, especially a QB who EVERYBODY in Denver loves, he would start him.
Just think, if he is released, New England could pick him up for nothing. IICC, Denver leapfrogged NE in the draft for Tebow because they knew NE wanted him.....remember. Tebow was never going to be the starter in NE, and that won't change if Tebow gets released and goes there.
I don't. Not an ounce. This guy owned the spotlight. Was the face of college football for years at Florida. It's up to him to make a name for himself in the NFL. Your up against Kyle Orton, better beat him out! Also, he'll make a decent ammount of money...especially if he ends up being the 3rd qb on their roster. He should throw me some...would help with my physical therapy tuition. “If you’re fortunate enough to spend five minutes or 20 minutes around Tim Tebow, your life is better for it.“ - Thom Brennaman ha, priceless
I feel bad because he was told he was the starter, only for it to be yanked away from him. I think people disliked him a lot in college so they hope he fails. I'm not saying you hope he fails, but I know a lot of people who do. It was just a terrible situation that the Broncos could have handled a hell of a lot better... they didn't need to name him the starter earlier this year, they could have just said "no comment" and left it at that.
I'd like us to pick him up as that third qb once he's released. Just one time I'd like to pick up another man's trash and turn it into a treasure.
I'm not sure Tebow was ever told by the Broncos he was the starter, I think people assumed he was and even more so when they tried to trade Orton. Just not sure?? I'm a fan of Tebow the person, but I don't think he is a very good player though. He's been given the chance to play, but he has failed. I hate when people say "he was never given a chance". The public are not setting in meetings or going to every pratice. The public dont know what a team is really trying to do. If Tebow would have impressed the coaches, he wouldn't be rumored to be getting traded or released.
I would like him as a development, WC QB. He might never be a starter, but he should evolve into a useful change of pace threat. I'd trade Merling for him.
I believe that is why NE was interested in him. I just heard on ESPN, that the Broncos just gave him 6mil?? If that's true, the Broncos are not dumping him. Don't know how true or when that happened.
I recall that when Tebow committed to UF most were saying he wouldn't succeed in the SEC. The arguments were identical to to the ones being used now. But Tebow went to a coach who understood how to use him and the result was very successful. If he goes to smart coach like BB then he can be successful again. If he gets stuck with a conventional coach then his talent will be wasted.
I'd absolutely, positively, totally would deal a 3rd round selection to Denver, tell Pat Devlin to take a hike and stash Tebow on my roster. If you're playing it right, you'll get your pick back down the line. And if you're lucky, you'll get even more or find yourself a talented QB.
I feel bad for the Bronco fan's, most probably bought into the Tebow hype machine, must be a heart breaker.
If I'm calling the shots as Miami GM: 1) Offer Merling straight up for Tebow 2) If no go, fine offer 7th round pick w/Merling 3) If no go, ok, switch it to 6th & Merling 4) Pound sand, and wait for them to cut him then...but thats the max you get for a 4th QB you have rated him as. If Denver keeps him as 4th QB per their own ratings so be it....but you dont dance with them if they think he is in a position to be worth anything more than a 1st rounder in Merling, and as much as a 6th, thats the max in my mind.
