They think we want to tank the season, look at Denver

These, of course, don't include quotes from Brandon Lloyd and others who were sick and tired of "the Tebow thing"(his words). My computer went down, so dont have access to other articles i have, but i recall one about players annoyed that Tebow wasn't practicing with the team during the lockout while Kyle was killing it.

I'm sorry, but if that team hated Tebow, they wouldn't have responded the way they did when he was inserted into the game against SD. They almost came back and won that game with Tebow, and had they left Orton in, they would have likely been blown out.

Hypothetical. We have no way of knowing how they would have responded or not.

Regardless, we can assume what you say is true, it doesn't mean the players are in love with him. Terrell Owens has made a career of being strongly disliked but playing hard. Joe Montana responded brilliantly to Steve Young being brought in, and the players rallied behind Montana and then rallied to Young a few years later. Those 2 still can't be in the same room together.

Tebow brought alot of excitement to the game when he entered, it didn't hurt that the crowd went out of its mind. The players played hard and the game always got tied. But none of that means the players are endeared to Tebow. They have spent this entire time defending Orton and i just linked evidence that many players were disgruntled at Tebow's off the field habits. If you choose to believe those sources are plain lying, feel free. But actions speak louder then words and that team has shown time and again that they want Orton to start. Sadly, the cats out of the bag now and there is no going back until Tebow sinks. But when he does, do not be surprised to see Fox start Orton again.

I gotta agree with Keith here.

Tebow definitely has some short-comings, but being likable and a team player are NOT part of them.

I seriously doubt this guy has ever made an enemy in his own locker-room.

I give KB a hard time cause I just can't believe he has so much faith in such a bad passer, but truth is, if he could ever figure out how to throw the damn ball, he could EASILY be a top 10 QB. Leadership and respect, along with his work ethic and of course his ability to run are all measureables that are off the charts.

Tebow is a great athelete with lots of leadership abilities for sure.
He will probably have lots more rushing TD's than throwing ones.
We could sure use his ability inside the red zone but for the other 80 yards he's average at best when throwing the ball. Wasn't he third on their dept chart behind Brady Quinn ?There was a reason for that .
