Dolphins need the other Denver QB …
Tim Tebow

Like lovers caught up in a bad romance, Tim Tebow and Chad Henne trudge to work these days, often feeling under-appreciated and overly-criticized.

Tebow has a burdensome 'honey-do' list of great expectations in Denver that has turned him into one of the most polarizing figures in sports. He either stinks or is a blossoming superstar. No one really seems to know for sure.

Henne seems to be destined as a placeholder in Miami until a better guy comes around. The noise from outside influences rattles his brain. Some fans have taken to chanting "We want Orton," in practice, alluding to Kyle Orton of the Broncos.

.SNIP

Think about it: Tebow is unsure how he fits in at Denver, where the Broncos have re-committed to Orton as their starting quarterback after a potential trade dalliance with the Dolphins. A devout Christian, Tebow is in danger of losing faith in himself with all the negative chatter.

2. Oh Please...
"He either stinks or is a blossoming superstar. No one really seems to know for sure..."

Tebow is just in his second year.

:wtf:

Bad, bad commentary

4. It really says something about Tebow's progress,
or lack of progress, that Denver is still choosing Kyle Orton as their starter. He may have been good in college, but he's playing with the big boys now, and needs to either step up, or step aside.

5. I say that Miami's situation at QB is such...
that this kind of shit could be written in a Miami newspaper.

The curse of Marino lives on.

8. They write it in the Palm Beach Post everyday
THe last 2 days though they have been nicer to Henne. He did throw 3 TDs in a scrimmage. I'm not sure if the rest of the team let him throw those passes or he was that much better. Maybe Henne needed a little cry - who knows!!

6. Orton's in the last year of his contract.
Soon as the Broncos are out of the playoffs, Timmy's in.

9. That's all we need
Remember when they were supposedly greasing the wheels to get him to Jacksonville so he could sell tickets, being a Gator and all?

St. Timmeh + any Flori-duh team = :scared:

10. We got rid of one pathetic Gator and damn sure don't need a replacement
Tebow was a waste of a pick. Luckily it wasn't Miami's gaffe. Jeff Ireland may be an insensitive moron but he's not stupid enough to pursue a guy who would be more hype than help. Ireland and particularly Sparano need to win now.

Dumping Channing Crowder was a treat. Addition by subtraction. Notice he was swooped up quickly by the rest of the league, or maybe not.

11. He retired...
Very overrated and couldn't cover a pass if his life depended on it.
