A tutor for Tebow
The debate over Tim Tebow’s worthiness as an NFL quarterback will undeniably continue in the offseason. What’s not in doubt is his status as the Denver Broncos’ starter. The team sought to curb the circus that’s sure to surround Tebow over the next several months by declaring him the incumbent at a season-ending news conference Monday. “Well, I think Tim’s earned the right to be the starting quarterback going into training camp next year,” Broncos boss John Elway declared. “I think he made some good strides this year. He obviously played very well against Pittsburgh and played very well in a lot of football games.” And exceedingly poorly in plenty of others. That’s why Elway, a Hall of Famer who rejoined the team a year ago as chief of football operations, has pledged to personally work with Tebow on his skills this offseason. – AP
