Tim Tebow lovers or haters: Who are the bigger shmucks?

• You forgot Fruit-of-the-loom vs. Jockey

• This is the first time I've seen an organization buckle under and give in to a special interest. But at the same time, if this kid plays like I think he will, the vast majority of actual fans and the community over all will see it. Team Tebow can try to blame everybody but Tim, but people will be asking "Who do you expect me to believe, you or my lyin' eyes?" Monday mornin's comin' like  a freight train..

• The no excuses thing is key.  If Denver goes roughly 4-12,  my worry is that too many of the Tebow fans will just move the goalposts and claim that Fox doesn;t understand how to use him, or that Elway set him up to fail because Elway hates the thought of other quarterbacks being successful in Denver (yep, I've seen that one already), or that He's really great, it's just that the rest of the team stinks.  Now to be fair they do suck for the most part, but they can't simultaneously be 5 seconds from competitive except for Kyle Orton AND a bunch of schlubs who should be in the CFL behind Tebow.

• How's this for an approach. Sunday it's put up or shut up. Everybody knows the job description for a quarterback. I can't deny Kyle Orton played himself out of a job. He didn't produce points or make plays at key times. His inability to come through when it was absolutely neccessary to was his undoing. His last half of play, against San Diego, was so anemic even staunch supporters like me gave up on him. For whatever reason, he wilted. He's done here. It's Tebow's turn, fair or not. Same line, defense, coaching staff. To be fair, this is a terrible, an untalented team. Maybe the team with the least talent in the NFL right now. Expecting Tebow to win games with this team is unrealistic. 3-13 is very, very optimistic. But......................no excuses. The fanatics supporting this kid are now on the clock. Losing will be on him and them every bit as much as it was on Orton. Tim Tebow will be judged on whether he can make plays. Period. Complete balls on third and throw downs. Lead drives, 10 play drives, executing basic fundamentals, and leading the offense. Same line, same defense. Same coaching staff. There's no sliding scale here. Either he does it or he doesn't. No excuses. If this kid is a player, it will be a huge windfall for the organization. They can build through the draft, with offensive as well as defensive linemen in what looks to be the best draft class in years. Even if he's just fair, it's a plus. If he's not, at least we know.

• Does being blind to his beliefs simply mean that you disagree with them.  Who gives a shit what you think........
