How long did it take them to trade him?

About 24 hours after Manning said he was coming to Denver.

If the intent was to extract maximum value they would have if nothing else at least played their hand closer to the vest and into the draft. Its not like Caleb Hanie was going somewhere else.

The intent was clearly to make sure that the Manning/Tebow overlap was as small as possible.

Conjecture is not fact.

You spin such pretty conjecture that you believe your own bull shiit on occasion.

And to hear 29 versions of "No thanks, John".

Which is why in the post linked below I used Cam Newton as the comp. That's more fair, right?

You mean the games when McGahee was injured so Tebow had no receivers because Elway moved them and no runningbacks because they sucked and/or were injured?

There is a big problem with this premise though Baja.. Elway and who knows who else has been trashing Tebow in the media since Elway took over...

It seems clear to me that Elway is trying to prevent Tebow from even getting the opportunity to make him look bad. Which is very smart on his part because IF Tebow is a huge success somehwere else and Elway doesn't have success in Denver I think he will definitely get crucified for that.. and rightfully so.

If that were true he would have shipped his ass to Jacksonville.

It's human nature. And in my opinion it's a distraction you don't need. And you particularly don't need it with a player you don't believe in, which appears to be the case with Elway, Fox, and probably other coaches and players as well.

I think the resentment in Denver came from the fact Tebow was getting credit for carrying the whole team... people like Skip Bayless would say how awful the team around him was... I belive the reason this made the guys around Tebow so upset is because it was avtually true. Tebow is on a better team now. He won't have to carry them and he won't get all the credit... so there should be no reason for resentment.

The second we got Manning Elway was given a free pass to trade Tebow. No reasonable football person or fan would start Tebow over Manning. So the issue became what to do with our back up QB.

Lolz I would ask if you really believe that but I know you do. When you have humble players like Santonio Holmes on your team not getting the rock thrown his way I am sure he will be fine with it.

But by Elway saying he gave Tebow the choice he looks like the good guy instead of what he really is.

Elway already did enough damage by screwing Tebow all last season and trashing him in the media the whole time.

Tebow may have actually had a better chance to start in Jaxs as well. He is clearly better than any QB they have there. The difference in NY is the coaches and GM were more pro Tebow. Also the fans in Jax would have been more pro Tebow which would help him start.

We also don't know where else Tebow had the opportunity to go. I think this may have been what Tebow alluded to when he said the Broncos ultimately had all the power.

And really.. we don't even know if Elway gave Tebow the option. Tebow has not said he did. If Tebow says Elwya is lying and he doesn't want to be in New York then where does that leave him?

Ya what ever if Elway wanted to make Tebow look bad he would not have allowed him to go to a good team that lacks a good QB. You have no argument on this one.

Sure came off as mocking to a lot of people, myself included.

No, I really don't, myself.

But as you know, there are a lot of people that would love to see it as mocking.

That's what I think, too.

I think all this "Oh noes, we can't handle the circus!" talk is overblown. I think they could have handled it just fine, and so could Tebow. If this team is going to win a Super Bowl, Tebow could have helped. Could have been that special touch in a couple of years that got them over the top.

But I think they knew the timing wasn't right in Tebow's career, because of the 2 years flushed down the toilet in developing him. They would rather draft a new guy, one more to their liking, and let him chill out 3 or 4 years waiting to start.

We don't know the other options though Baja... anywhere he was going to go could fit your desrpition unless they had an elite QB. And if he goes to a team that has an elite QB they have an elite offense which could make Tebow look even better. Look at Matt Flynn in Green Bay.. look at Matt Cassell on the Patriots..

If Elway had sent Tebow to the Pats Tebow could have helped them win a championship. Then how would Elway look.. how would Tebow look? This is why Elway ensured he did all the damage last season.

Cam was a 1st overall pick. Do you think the Colts would've traded theirs for him?

The point isn't to say Tim was a #1 overall kind of prospect. The point is that the Broncos made every mistake in the book to minimize his trade value.

He's worth more than a 4th rounder.

You need professional help. I could only imagine what psychotic episodes you were having before Tebow even existed in football.

If the patriots were that big on him, why would they let him go to a rival division team for peanuts? If Elway wanted him to fail, why did the coaching staff turn away from the Detroit games playbook? Common sense would tell you to keep that same playbook if they wanted him to fail.

The difference is they will be winning.. they have a great D and a great D coach.

Also Tebow got Lloyd the rock... Lloyd was just too soft and was afraid Tebow would get him hit.

Most receicers are no where near as soft as Lloyd. I thought Tebow and Lloyd made a great tandem.

Have you forgotten only two teams were interested in TT and he was allowed to go to the one that gives him the best chance to succeed, so much for your sabotage theory

Because the Pats didn't have the option to get him. That is what I am saying. This is why Elway would not give Tebow that option and why Tebow might say he didn't have the option. The only reason I could see the Pats not wanting Tebow is because they already have a lot of weird weapons such as Welker, Gronk and Hernandez. There may not be enoguh room in their offense for Tebow's unique skkillset.

But I could surely see why Elway wouldn't want Tebow on the Pats.. if the Brocnos did end up facing them Tebow could easily be the difference maker especially with Belichick using him.

If Elway wanted him to fail, why did the coaching staff turn away from the Detroit games playbook? Common sense would tell you to keep that same playbook if they wanted him to fail.

They did the absolute MINIMUM they could to integrate Tebow. And they did it after they had humiliated him.

Urban Meyer has said publicly that they were very uncreative in how they used Tebow. I don't see how anyone coulld not see that.

Why did they even need to change the Brocnos offense coming into the season in the first place? Tebow was successful at the end of last season in it and it was built for him. Both orton and Tebow looked terrible in it.

Elway knew when he hired Fox what it woulsd do to Tebow or any QB. The only thing that might save Peyton is that Fox could let Peyton be his own offensive coordinator essentially.

What's amazing is we are on the threshold of one of the most promising seasons in a very long while and the most popular thread is about the Jets back up QB.

[Drunk Monkey]

So if he went to the Pats they would bench Brady in favor of Tebow? Sorry not following the bat **** crazy logic.
