2012 NFL Draft: Broncos Looking for more Quarterbacks

Because currently they have no one else set to play behind Tebow. I feel like this is going to be an annoying story throughout the draft process where everyone will freak out when they realize the Broncos are looking at quarterbacks and they will all believe it’s the front office questioning Tim Tebow as a starter. The team is going to do their due diligence on quarterbacks the same way they with every other position. And they will bring someone who can be a decent backup if Tebow gets hurt or his game just goes to hell, both of which are very real possibilities so it’s important to have a good backup, but it doesn’t mean they don’t believe Tebow can be effective, they’re just filling a roster hole.

will have no clout. Half the people will just say yes because they think Tebow sucks or just plain don’t like him. It will have nothing to do with team needs.

As Eddie said the team needs a QB as there is only one currently on the 53 man roster who is still in contract so its obvious they need one.

What will vary is whether people think they should draft one in the early or late rounds.

The main thing for me would be that they dont over draft a QB like a few teams will do in this draft.

Tebow backup. And I’ll be happy to see the back of Brady Quinn. I would imagine we may look at a latish round QB or even add Adam Weber to the 53-man, too. Tebow’s still a big question mark but as this was his first (not even full) year as a starter and he had no offseason coaching, it’d be silly to close the book on him now. My guess is that Osweiler is gone before Denver picks in the 3rd so anyone they actually end up picking would be a sleeper.

If they draft a guy in the 3rd or 4th, and Tebow keeps improving,or keeps wining games(However you want to view that), then you might have a valuable trade chip down the road. If you draft a guy, and Tebow regresses, then you have a potential starter sitting on the bench.

Win Win

in the later rounds like 4-6 or even in UDFA if they last that long. They both can play in the same offence Denver runs with Tebow and you get depth and competition for Tebow.

What more does he have to do? All the guy does is win. He should be the starting QB going forward and should be given every opportunity. Perhaps even a few seasons to learn the position. They really should consider signing him to a long-term deal.

We have tebow and what’s his name from Minnesota that they like. I think they’ll go get some experience with speed IMO.

They need to take the offensive game plan to the next level, and Tebow does need to be a part of that game plan. My suggestion would be going to a two QB system, believe it or not Tebow can throw, and when he was in, the defense would have to worry about both the run and pass. If the second QB was a traditional passer, teams would be more focused in on the pass, but the Broncos would still be able to run from the RB spot as well (obviously). Also they could put in both QB’s at the same time, and use Tebow’s athleticism as a FB/TE type, or as the actual QB. It may sound like a high school/college type thing, but the QB option was a high school/college play before Tebow came along.

but we need to focus on the D in this draft. New England handed us our a$$ cause we have major needs on that side.

I think our offense just needs more time to gel. We have a LOT of young guys.

I understand he wants to find a pocket passer,but backing Tebow and filling out the rest of the roster while holding off on a QB until a stud is available makes more sense.
