Look, I think I can speak for the majority of "Tebow lovers" when I say we pulled for Tebow knowing full well the Pats would win. Again, it's not his ability (although it's not as bad as people think) but rather Tebow the person. He inspires a lot of people whether you're a believer or not (not in Tebow but the Lord).
I tried to be as diplomatic as I could, Coach. Would you rather me come out and say that Tebow runs about three different plays and though he runs them well he won't be able to get by unless he starts disguising his calls or learning a different system? How many times a game can he get away with the options he's running? How far will he get using the scheme he did this year? He WILL have to adapt because defense (like NE did tonight) will eat him up.
Don't come at me me the tone saying "Look..." You took the comment I made like I was singling you out. I wasn't. I gave Tebow his credit, he went farther than many people thought he would and he did a good job while doing it. Tonight he had no protection, he escaped far more than any other QB would and his receivers could not get open. The only score his team had outside of the field goal was a run. He completed a few more passed than he was sacked.
This is a team sport, Tebow rallied his troops home more this season than most do in a couple year span. But his run came to an end. He had a good run but now he can use his offseason and become more than a 1 dimensional player that he is today.
Lastly, Denvers defense isn't the worst but they're not the best either. Tonight proved they are only a good defense. They looked more mediocre than good but that's because Brady picked them apart. Only about 4 quarterbacks to play on earth could read a defense like Brady and you see the result of that talent tonight.
