I don't mind you guys getting excited.  I just find it amusing when people talk about Tebow like he's the second coming.  The reason the Broncos are doing really well is the defense.  They are playing great.  I just don't understand why they didn't play this hard before Tebow started playing.

Well, I won't deny that I don't laugh at it too. He could be great, but he's definitely not there yet. And the defense is definitely a huge part of their victories. But I think that part of the reason why they're doing better is because of Tebow. Again, with Orton as the starter, no one really expected us to go anywhere. He was a good solid QB, but we just weren't a great team. With Tebow as starter, we've turned a horrible season into a potentially great one. He's given fans and the team a belief that we can actually win. I think the most valuable quality he has is his attitude. I don't know if it's as easy to see for someone who hasn't seen the team struggle from a fan's point of view for the past decade, but it feels like for the first time since Elway left, the team believes that they can win. That, I think, has made a huge difference.
