Tebow to Start

    Tim Tebow has gotten the starting nod for the Denver Broncos today, making his fourth career NFL start.

    The Broncos will face the Miami Dolphins in Miami, near where Tebow found college football immortality at the University of Florida. Not only will the game be played in Miami, but the Dolphins will honor the greatest players in Florida Gators history during the game. Perhaps the greatest of them all and one of the most recognized players in recent memory will be standing on the opposite sideline. Whether it was a coincidence or a planned stroke of marketing genius, the game has generated great publicity for both teams for the past week.

    There seems to be two types of people when it comes to Tebow. Certain people adore him and believe he will be a great NFL quarterback and there are others who see him as a glorified tight end. Regardless of how you see him, one thing is clear: Tebow knows how to win. He has the intangibles, such as a high football IQ that are difficult to teach a player but can make the difference between a win and a loss.

    Tebow showed his potential last season as he became familiar with his receivers and began to thrive. The only major knock on Tebow is his accuracy. As a running quarterback, there are times where he will struggle to set his feet before he throws and the ball will flutter. If he can set his feet consistently before he throws, he could turn into an elite quarterback in the NFL as he has the arm strength to succeed.

    The Broncos traded away their best receiver in Brandon Lloyd, meaning Tebow will have to rely more on short throws and using his legs to keep plays alive. If Tebow gets protection from his line today, he will have the added dimension of scrambling for a first down at his disposal.

    As with any popular quarterback, every move that Tebow makes will be heavily dissected but he should play well against a winless Miami Dolphins in what is essentially a home game for Tebow. The Broncos should win in Tebow's first start of the year and record their second win of the season.
