Tim Tebow and Eric Decker Touchdown Connection iPhone App Is a Terrible Idea

As if the hype over Tim Tebow needed to get any larger, Denver Broncos wide receiver Eric Decker just stoked the fire to increase the heat on the young quarterback.

The publicity over the first start of the 2011 season for Tim Tebow is already at a fevered pitch, and the extra pressure of an iPhone app talking about how many touchdowns the duo of Tebow and Decker will have is added grief.

While Decker is just showing that he has the utmost faith in his quarterback, he needs to understand just how much scrutiny will be on his quarterback this week.

Broncos wide receiver Eric Decker is reporting on Twitter about the new app:

As a football fan first, I love the fact that Decker and Tebow already have an excellent relationship with total confidence, but if for any reason they fail to connect on the field, both will be thrown to the wolves.

The good part of all this mess for the Broncos and their new dynamic duo is that they are facing off against the utterly defeated Miami Dolphins and the third-worst pass defense in the league.

If the Denver Broncos can give Tebow time to run through his progressions, the team has a chance to be one of the bigger surprises in the AFC going forward.

While they’re not playoff-bound this season, this game and the rest of the season will go a long way in deciding if Tebow is the quarterback of the future for the Broncos. An iPhone app doesn’t help the expectations at all, though.
