Unlikely. Patriots D blows. They'll make him look like a god. Plus it's the Patriots, so there's going to be even more national focus on this game.
He will lose. Patriots will scheme him to death on defense and then have a LB spy. If Tebow can read the defense then he has a. SLIM chance. Tom is going to put up 38 pts... Guaranteed.
Patriots won't break 30. Tebow will have over 300 yards from scrimmage. No guarantees on who wins the game, though.
It's the Pats pass defense that is so awful and the Broncos passing attack isn't good enough to exploit it. Game will be over before the 4th quarter.
vs. Patriots Chad Henne: 400+ yards Dan Orlovsky: 350+ yards Rex Grossman: 300+ yards Jason Campbell: 350+ yards Mark Sanchez: 300+ yards Vince Young: 400+ yards These are not good quarterbacks, even if some of it was garbage time. Tebow sucks, but he'll get his stats. They have to hope their D can keep it to a one possession game, which I think is very possible. This might be one of the few games where Tebow doesn't play like dog vomit for the entire first 3 quarters.
I see your point but every one of those guys is a much better passer than Tebow. MUCH better. The Broncos defense won't be able to stop the Pats passing attack enough to keep it close. This will be like the Lions game. The Broncos will then have to bounce back against the Bills and Chiefs.
No one on that list (with over 100 pass attempts, Dan O being the lone exception with 95 attempts, but only a 0.2 higher rating) has a higher QBR than Tebow except for Jason Campbell, who is less than 2 points above him. I expect him to get 100 on the ground and at least 200 through the air, possibly nearing 300 if they're playing catch up because the Broncos D got their doors blown off.
Regardless of QB rating, everyone on that list is a much better passer than Tebow. Henne, Orlovsky, Grossman, Campbell, Sanchez, even VY. Not even close and I've ripped every one of those guys. QB rating doesn't mean much to me. I'll take a wild guess and say because Tebow doesn't throw INTs his QB rating is higher than most of those. Tebow is the worst passer I've seen in quite some time. He is the worst possible QB to take advantage of NE's defense. Denver's butter-fingered receivers compound the problem. This will be a blowout. As you imply, what could end up happening is the Pats get ahead, soften up and Tebow ends up with a statistically decent game. For the record: I want the Broncos to win very badly.
