“Tim Tebow good quarterback is not.”
Yoda discussing Tim Tebow
So much became in-your-face obvious in the Denver Bronco’s home loss to the Kansas City Chiefs that even the Tebow faithful must be able to read the writing on the stone tablet: Thou shall not win against the Steelers. “And the prophet of the gridiron did declare unto the false believers of the Horse, ‘Yay, and hear unto me for it is foreseen: Tebow is done, for he has shown himself to be a false idol and so shall he be cast out and a new chosen one brought forth.’ ” Yeah, little Timmy T was fun for his short run but in the long run, he’s done.
Man, what an ugly way to advance to the playoffs; so ugly, in fact, that any respectable Bronco fan with a minimal understanding of the game is thinking, “Man, Champ Bailey is right on. These guys need a serious reality slap. They didn’t earn their way anywhere. They just happened to float to the top of the AFC West slop bucket and sloshed their stinkin’ way in. ” The Broncos winning in the playoffs is akin to a fish playing drums: it would be cool to see but you know it’s just a ridiculous notion. The real action won’t take place on the field at Mile High during the game anyway, oh no, but after the game when an epic mess of an NFL playoff loss by an epic mess of an NFL team has to be explained away by an epic mess of an NFL franchise with an epic mess of an owner and his corporate swindlers and perception management orcs.
The Bronco loss to Kansas City was easily predictable for two things: every Bronco fan with a Wonderlic score above 12 knew the Chiefs would come to town and upset the Broncos because Tebow would non-perform. Tom Petty once said ironically of rock ‘n’ roll, “It’s not supposed to really be good, is it?” And the same holds true for Tim Tebow: he’s not supposed to really be good, is he? No. That was never his role. His primary role WAS TO DO EXACTLY what he did this season: keep fan interest up and butts in the seats until the season ended. His franchise role was to buy Bronco corporate management time to come up with more half-assed underfunded gambits to keep a half-assed underfunded NFL franchise blind man’s bluffing its way through another NFL season. Tebow did exactly what his corporate masters prayed he would: he ran around, pulled off some minor miracles, sold Bronco gear, kept the press in the game, and bought the hucksters and Barnums that run the Broncos time to mismanage another season, next year. The playoffs will not be Tebow’s blessing to the fans but the Steelers dark curse to franchise history.
Look, this Denver Bronco season is, was, and forever will be, all about Tim Tebow with an embarrassing but totally foreseeable outcome: Denver is going to be right back where they were in preseason. There will be a quarterback controversy. Tebow is not an NFL quarterback, he is a limited run sideshow oddity. Tebow’s god squad fans may have “faith” in Tebow but football fans believe in more worldly matters such as third down conversions, time of possession, and pass completion numbers that look closer to what Dan Marino would put up rather than Scott Hamilton.
Denver Bronco fans have all week to consider the following. Do you have “faith” the Denver Broncos will pull off a miracle team win against the Pittsburgh Steelers? Do you “believe” Tim Tebow will show up and play like a real NFL quarterback once and for all?
When you get your answers you’ll know where you stand as a Denver Bronco fan and as a Tim Tebow fan.
