Tim Tebow: Don't Expect Anything Spectacular from Broncos' New Starting QB

The ever-polarizing Tim Tebow will be the Denver Broncos starting quarterback in Week 7 (they have a bye week, right now), but you shouldn't expect greatness from the former Heisman winner.

Tebow almost broke the Internet after being inserted into last week's game at halftime, and he nearly led his team to victory.

The problem with Tebow is that you always talk about him by using words like "almost" and "nearly." I like the guy, but all he does is lead his team to exciting losses.

The Broncos definitely made the right decision by starting Tebow, but it will be a rocky ride. All of these Denver fans praising him as the unquestioned savior of their franchise, need a strong dose of reality.

With Tim Tebow, you should basically expect what he did in the second half against San Diego. His completion percentage will be terrible and his awkward throwing motion will make you cringe, but he will make enough plays to get your hopes up. Then, the Broncos will lose.

Of course, that isn't entirely Tebow's fault. Denver has plenty of issues, mainly that awful defense. It really doesn't matter what Tebow does this year—Tom Brady couldn't win with this team.

Tebow's job will also be much tougher if the Broncos trade away one of their wide receivers. Brandon Lloyd made Tebow look good last week by making a few absurd catches. Without him, the Broncos passing game will struggle mightily.

Tebow will cause hysteria nationwide, whether he is excellent or terrible. But realistically, expect mediocrity from him this season.
