Let's take a journey back to a time when Mike Shanahan was still in control of the Broncos. Would Tim Tebow be considered as a draft pick or would Mike have a different game plan for the Broncos. Of course, it is useless to think this way because Josh McDaniels was with the reigns to lead the Broncos to pick up Tebow as a draft pick.
After all the Tebow mania, Tebow was not the starting quarterback of the Broncos, with good reason. He was and still is a rookie in the NFL and it doesn't matter if he was the star of NCAA football, it is still not the NFL. Tebow was only seen coming in to do a run play, which always got great praise from the crowd at Invesco Field. No matter how much praise he received from the media or the fans, Kyle Orton was still going to be the starting quarterback for the Broncos.
Then a peculiar thing occurred, Josh McDaniels got fired from being the Broncos head coach. This is when Tim Tebow actually begins to play as quarterback and not just as a one time runner wonder.
Tebow's performance against the Oakland Raiders as the starting quarterback was an overall success. Although the Bronco's lost, it was better than the previous defeat against the Raiders and Tebow was able to show his stuff to the football community, while setting a few records in the process. He was able to do the longest touchdown run in NFL history as his first start. He also became the third quarterback in NFL history to throw for a touchdown of 30 or more yards and run for a touchdown of 40 or more yards in the same game.
What is in store for Tim Tebow and the Broncos franchise? Could the starting of Tebow just be a way of displaying him, so another team could pick him up or are the Broncos serious about him? The deciding factor will be who will be the Broncos head coach and if he sees Tebow as a publicity stunt or as a young player with a great deal of potential.
