to throw the comment out of the broncos o-line not being very good is a false statement and no i have no stats to back that up, becuase stats would say otherwise. The only thing i have is All World tackle Ryan Clady who gave up a total of 2 sacks in his first couple years and had like 1 holding call, for somereason couldnt even stop guys from sacking tebow. But guys like manning don't get sacked becuase they know 70% of the time where they are going with the ball. the o-line will do great becuase they will finally have someone back there who won't try to scramble for 10 minutes until "he thinks" a reciever is open.
I don't know if I can agree with this enough. Like RJM said too - if the QB doesn't have much of a pocket presence then it makes it tough when it comes to blocking.
Let's say this is a best case scenario and Manning is super healthy this coming season. He's still a temporary solution because he doesn't have too many years left. This is probably his last contract he will sign so the Broncos are getting a slight gap in needing a quarterback but I don't think they will keep Tebow for this. Since he's not traditional this is a way to get rid of him and take a QB for the future either in this draft or next year's depending on who's available. Groom this guy for when Manning hangs it up.
