And so we begin another week of debate about whether or not Tim Tebow should be the Broncos long-term answer at quarterback.
They can easily find a quarterback who is a better passer.
What they won't find is a quarterback who is a better leader.
I think the Broncos should stick with Tebow and work with him and try to develop his passing skills. I think their chances of success are much better going that route than drafting another young quarterback with a great arm and "hoping" he turns out to have the aptitude to lead the team to greatness as well.
Because it sure didn't work out with Jay Cutler, did it?
John Elway had a great arm, for sure. But what we treasure most about his career was his ability to make plays down the stretch. Let's think back to the 1991 AFC Divisional playoff game, when Elway executed "The Drive II". On that drive, he had to convert two 4th-and-10 plays. On the first, he scrambled and ran for the first down. On the second, he basically lobbed the ball to Vance Johnson, who scampered down the sideline for a long gain. Elway didn't need his rocket arm on either occassion.
Tebow has the same quality - the ability to make things happen any way he can. I vote we keep him around as the starting quarterback for 2012.
