Tim Tebow: It's Time for the Denver Broncos QB To Start

Tim Tebow wasn't involved in that massive car wreck of a loss by the Denver Broncos on Sunday.

Tim Tebow was safely sequestered on the Bronco bench, a witness to the 43-13 embarrassment at the hands of the offensive juggernaut known at the Arizona Cardinals and their future All-Pro quarterback John (I'm not the grandson of Red) Skelton.

Tim Tebow had no worries, he let starting quarterback Kyle Orton play the fool, which he did so well, tossing three interceptions to Arizona defenders and finishing his day with 19 completions out of 41 attempts for a mind-boggling 156 yards.

Now with John Elway coming into the picture in the Broncos front office, you've got to ask yourself what Denver's mightiest signal caller of all time might think of this jumbled mess?

For those who believe that Tebow needs to park his derriere on the bench while Orton plays good football, they might want to reconsider their position seeing as Orton himself admitted on Sunday: "There's no excuse for the way I played."

Perhaps, just perhaps there's a method to the Bronco madness.

Could it be that the disaster that is Denver is hoping for a shot at Stanford's Andrew Luck, who seems to be more of an Elway than Tebow?

Whatever the plan this now 3-10 franchise is hatching, it's looking as though the plan does not include winning or attempting to win any more games this season.

Face it, a 4-9 Arizona bunch who is a long way from the toast of the town, just slapped the Broncos into oblivion.

Is there any good reason to NOT start Tim Tebow?

Orton just put up a 27.1 quarterback rating against the 30th ranked defense in the NFL.

No doubt Denver might have done better to simply come out in the single wing and let Tebow play tailback.

It can't get any worse, can it?

So start Tim Tebow and find out just exactly what you've got sitting there on the bench.

He's big, that's for sure. Let him try and pass and let him run around a bit.

He might actually crash into an opponent and hurt somebody.

Right now, the Broncos aren't hurting anyone but themselves.
