Tim Tebow: Broncos Star Proves He's Long-Term Option at Quarterback

The Tim Tebow legend lives on with his improbable comeback against the Miami Dolphins today.

Down by 15 with just over five minutes left in the game, Tebow and company took over and the rest was history.

The Broncos stormed back with two touchdowns and a two-point conversion to tie the game in regulation, ultimately leading to an 18-15 win in overtime.

Now, naturally, the first thing that everyone is going to analyze is the play of Tim Tebow, so I am going to join the lot.

Tebow didn't play all the good—not for the first 55 minutes of the game, at least.

Let's take a quick look at the numbers:

Tebow was 4-of-14 prior to mounting his first touchdown drive. Those number would have anyone questioning the quarterback situation in Denver.

Post-5:23 mark? Tebow went 9-of-13 for 120 yards and accounted for both of the Broncos' touchdowns, including the game-tying two-point conversion with 17 seconds remaining.

The funny thing with Tebow, though, is you can't ever adequately assess his performance simply on the numbers. So I ask this question:

Would Kyle Orton have mounted the epic comeback himself?

Well, the answer is, no. A big, fat no.

Tim Tebow posses intangibles that most NFL players don't have, let alone quarterbacks. He has the killer instinct, poise and leadership that it takes to win.

It's not conventional and sometimes it sure isn't pretty, but it works and in the end, if it results in a win, then the man is doing something right.

It's official: The Broncos have found their man.
