Tebow Continuing to Prove Doubters Wrong

Tim Tebow can silence just about all of his doubters if he hasn't already with a win tonight against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

After replacing Kyle Orton in week 5 of this years' campaign, Tebow has thrown for 12 touchdowns and only 6 interceptions. He has ran for another 6 touchdowns along with 660 yards. That math equates to 18 total touchdowns in 12+ regular season games.

Those numbers don't look too great but it equates to a 3-1 touchdown to interception ratio which will most of the time get a team a win in the NFL. He went 7-4 in the regular season as a starter which was good enough to take a 1-4 lead Kyle Orton team to an 8-8 record and a AFC West division title.

Those accomplishments in only his second year in the league are overshadowed by arguments degrading his throwing motion or his drop backs or some other useless argument that is made to take credit away from such great achievements.

Now, a week after throwing for 316 yards and 2 touchdowns (another one rushing), Tebow has a chance to backup his overtime wildcard weekend win over the Steelers.

The Broncos faced the Patriots in week 15, a game in which the Patriots came out on top 41-23. Some called that game Tebow's best of the season with the improvements he made in the passing game. ESPN's Trent Dilfer was one of those people who thought that.

There have been many people that have discredited Tebow's performances. Let's explore who has made those comments and why they should probably start to eat their words.

Terrell Suggs, linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens said on ESPN's "First Take" that he may be able to play quarterback that Tim Tebow. Stephen A. Smith, who constantly has not been a believer in Tebow's "quarterbacking skills" said that he has seen "nothing that would make 'me' believe that this boy [Tim Tebow] is remotely a starting quarterback in this league." Mark Schlereth said on "First Take" that "he lacks passing skills to be an elite quarterback in the NFL."

Many more have said these things for and against Tim Tebow. He may not do everything the way it is "supposed" to be done but why does he? Why does he have to throw like every other quarterback in the NFL? Why do his drop backs have to be preformed in the same manner as everybody else? Why does he have to look great during practice? Why does he have a limit on how many times he can run the ball? Why can't his coaches let him throw on first down?

The reality is, is that there is not a right way to play quarterback in the NFL but rather there are things that can be done to help a quarterback succeed at the highest level. Most successful quarterbacks have chosen those ways and been rewarded but Tim Tebow does things his way and he does things for the betterment of the team. If that means completing two passes in a game then he will. If it means running 22 times in a game, he will.

"Tebow Time" is upon us ladies and gentlemen and like it or not, it will be here to stay.
