Broncos Rookie QB Tim Tebow Draws First Career Start Vs. Raiders

The Denver Broncos will give rookie quarterback Tim Tebow his first NFL start Sunday at Oakland, a team source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter on Saturday. Tebow has taken most every snap this week in practice with starter Kyle Orton nursing bruised ribs. The Broncos' plan to start Tebow is based on his talents, the source said. Tebow has made only cameo appearances this season and thrown just one NFL pass since former coach Josh McDaniels selected him in the first round of the draft in April following his much-celebrated career at Florida, where he won two national titles and a Heisman Trophy. Orton, who has been sacked a career-high 34 times and thrown nearly 500 passes already, was in obvious pain at the podium this week but insisted that while he was sore, his arm wasn't the issue despite poor performances the past two weeks.

The entire country practically has been waiting for this......hope Tebow takes full advantage.

 

Time to put the sig to the test :icon_smile:

 

ok. although orton is not the problem with the broncos ........ in fact, it's one of their few problem positions in my opinion, they might as well start tebow the last few games just to see what they've got. hell, if they fall in love with the guy, maybe they could at least trade orton for something in the off-season.

 

Give'em hell Timmy!

 

Kinda an oxymoron.. LOL


I for one will be rooting for this young man. God Bless you Tim Tebow.

 

Wondered who was gonna be the first to point that out.

 

This. Hope he is ready.

 

Truth.

 

Rep

 

Heaven help him. ALOT of people, myself included expecting him to and/or hope that he fails.

 

You need to go to church Phigles. Get some Jesus in your life bro. :icon_cheesygrin:

 

Looking forward to this. Hope he does well.

 

What's worse? All the buttholes who hope he fails? Or all the butthole who hope he succeeds solely because there are so many buttholes hoping he fails?

 

Yes.

 

Don't worry. I acknowledge we are all worse then good ole fanboys like yourself.

 

No thanks. I hate being lied to

 

How do you explain the last 12 years? lol...

 

You think they just drew names out of a hat for this one?
