Why Tim Tebow Is the Most Dynamic Player Remaining in NFL Playoffs

If you weren’t a believer prior to the Denver Broncos’ wild overtime victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Jan. 8th, there’s a good chance you are now.

Because at this point in the season, Tim Tebow is the most dynamic player remaining in the playoffs. Over Aaron Rodgers, over Drew Brees and over Tom Brady.

He’s not better than those three guys, but he’s more dynamic. He’s was so difficult to prepare for before the playoffs and he might be even more difficult than prepare for now.

For those who missed it, Tim Tebow played great. He threw—yes, I said threw—for 316 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran for 50 more yards and another touchdown.

He tossed a perfect pass to a slanting Demaryius Thomas who finished the job, going 80 yards for the game-winning score in overtime.

If you look at what Tim Tebow was able to do against the Pittsburgh Steelers you would be hard pressed to find a whole lot wrong.

Throughout the regular season we were all saying the same thing about Mr. Tebow.

I’ll remind you, it sounded like this:

“Oh, he can’t throw the ball!” “He’ll never do anything in the playoffs!” “All he can do is play late in the fourth quarter, let’s see him do it for all four quarters!” 

Well, I can’t hear you now. What were you saying?

All he does is win, right? He just won in the way that we all said he couldn’t.

Tebow proved us wrong. He came out and threw the ball around the field for an entire four quarters and he did it against the league’s best pass defense.

If Tebow can throw the football even half as good as he did against the Steelers he can move the ball on the New England Patriots putrid pass defense.

A lot of the reason Tebow is so dynamic is because of the way the spread option keeps the opposing defense honest. They lull you to sleep and then BAM!, there goes Thomas with a 50-yard catch.

You like to think that you can gameplan for Tebow, but you just can’t because he’s not great at anything, he’s just good at a lot of little things and his intangibles are top shelf.

You can take away his arm, and the offense can beat you on the ground. If you try and take away the ground game, like Pittsburgh tried, he’ll just prove he has the ability to beat you through the air.

He’s a dynamo. He single-handedly can change the momentum in a game—for better or for worse.

It’s not likely that the Broncos will head to Foxboro and upset Tom Brady and the New England Patriots but there’s no question that the 13.5 points that the Broncos are underdogs by is a bit disrespectful.

Tebow is coming in hot, and the Patriots defense is bad. Tebow just might surprise you.

Honestly, that’s what makes the Tim Tebow mystique so mystical. He consistently proves us wrong by winning football games yet every single week we write him off.

It’s time to stop writing him off because this guy is a gamer, a dynamo, leader and everything else.

He is the most dynamic player left in the NFL playoffs.
