As the Denver Broncos prepare to sign one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time, Peyton Manning, there is a lot of uncertainty remaining in the Mile High City.
What about Tim Tebow? How can you do such a thing to a player that led the team to the playoffs, and even past the Pittsburgh Steelers in one of the most dramatic wins in this cities history?
Those would be the fans yelling, screaming and posting billboards indirectly inquiring with Broncos executives about their decisions.
But, as surely as a man drops to his knee in praise of a higher being, and thus making others flock, follow, and imitate such a gesture, he is without a doubt the one most thankful for this pickup.
He’ll get more tips than a kind waiter with a camera phone.
Peyton Manning, by all reports, is great person, leader and teacher. His stadium and hospital in Indianapolis and the fans of the Colts that had to see him walk away are a testament. He’s a Southern boy, with a Midwestern attitude and a work ethic like nobody who’s ever played.
Tebow isn’t posting his house for sale, he’s adding an extra guest bedroom.
The Broncos current quarterback finds pleasure in getting better and winning. And who better to learn from. Taking a backseat; wouldn’t be. He’d be riding shotgun with Moonlight Graham on his way to a cornfield in Iowa.
Tebow is no Manning; and Manning is no Tebow.
The former Colts quarterback won’t start a worldwide statue phenomenon like his, now predecessor. But “Tebow-ing” does kind of like a victory formation kneel down; a prayer answered and a win for everyone involved.
