Tim Tebow set the world on fire during the Broncos six-game winning streak that put them in first place in the AFC West. But during Denver's final three games -- all losses -- Tebow looked totally different, and there's starting to be some serious chatter about the possibility that he could be benched Sunday against Pittsburgh if he struggles. Broncos Rapid Reporter Lee Rasizer notes on Friday that Denver coach John Fox didn't "eliminate the possibility" during his press conference, although he did support Tebow's efforts as the Broncos starter. "Well, he's on the football team," Fox said of backup Brady Quinn. "So everybody on the team's ready. Like every game, we expect our starters to play well and if for some reason an injury occurs or something happens, it's next man up." Adding fuel to the fire is a report from Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, citing a source that says backup Brady Quinn has been getting "roughly half the first-team reps in practice all week." However, Quinn, in a text message to Jeff Darlington of NFL.com, denied Florio's report, saying he hasn't "gotten any extra reps." Source: CBS Sports
Hmmm? Do you think the powers that be will have the balls to bench the annointed one? And if they do what will the Mile High reaction be if they still do not win? Alls I know is that if Timmy wins this game there is no listening to the radio for a week. LOL!
They should be trying to build his confidence up not browbeat the hell out of him. I keep getting the feeling Denver just wants him to fail so they can move on away from him.
I see that too, this just justified my belief Elway is a rod and always has been. I never forgot him acting like a little baby when Baltimore drafted him.
