The struggling (1-4) Broncos made it official today that Tim Tebow would be the starter for their Monday night match-up against the Miami Dolphins. QB Kyle Orton originally had the job, but after a dismal start, he was replaced by Tebow at halftime in Sunday's game. Even though Tebow didn't get the W, he showed great promise and a good grasp of the offense. When asked why he is making the switch now Fox said
"Well, I think 1-4 has a lot to do with it," Fox said. "We haven't gotten it done as a football team. It's not one guy. It's not all Kyle Orton's fault. But we do have to make adjustments, we have to change and we have to do something to win football games."
The fans also seem to be behind Tebow as many have been waiting for the former Florida star to prove himself in the NFL. As the Broncos trudged off the field, the stadium shook with a thunderous roar of "Tebow! Tebow! Tebow!"
When Tebow was drafted, many analysts said that he could not play QB in the NFL, and he definitely has a chip on his shoulder. Watching Tebow from Florida till today, I believe that he has the ability to lead the Broncos in the right direction. Football is not a one man game, the defense and offense have to work together to get a win. There are many who will expect instant success, but that might not be the case. I'm curious to see the outcome of the Broncos Monday Night showdown vs the Dolphins.
