Re: Looking ahead: Tebowmania - how the hell do we beat it?

Once opposing teams figure out how to stop that offense (well actually they already have, but for last minute miracles), will Tebow then be able to adjust and become an effective passer? He may have the "it" factor, but you also have to be able to throw a decent ball to be a successful QB--there's just no getting around that.

1.) He's "sustained" it for a 5-1 record.
2.) Complaints about his throwing are wildly overblown. He showed that he could throw last season. Is he a polished passer? No. Is he better than what Fox and Elway are allowing him to be by trading away his best WR and forcing him into a very limited offense (yes, even for him) for most of the game? Significantly.
3.) If defenses had figured it out, the Broncos wouldn't be 5-1 under Tebow this season.
