Tebow had his first start this weekend. He went 8-16, 138 yards, 1 TD passing and 8 carries for 78 yards and 1 TD rushing. He has likely earned himself another start this weekend.
When McDaniels was fired, I thought for sure that would mean the end of Tebow's chance as a starting NFL QB. Looks like he may have a shot without the only coach who beleived in his talents translating to the NFL level. Do you think he's going to be the Broncos' starting QB next season?

He may. Kyle Orton is still a great QB. He didn't just fit into the New England system, he had pinpoint accuracy for most of the season but had to deal with losing Marshall and replacing him with a really promising but inconsistent Demaryius Thomas. The rest of the WRs dropped a ton of balls and if you've watched a Broncos game this year, the running game did nothing until a few weeks ago.
Tebow may make it. It's clear he can run at the NFL level. Try him at RB, try him at TE, try him at FB, and definitely leave him in the wildcat. I think combining Orton's passing skills with Tebow's running skills at a number of different positions is the best way to utilize Tebow's talent. A really creative offensive mind could make his arm be a factor in a part-time role, too.
If the Broncos choose to just go with him at QB, they're making the ETA on a good team around 5 years. He just isn't ready, his arm looks good but the decision making isn't good enough yet. Supposed scouts say they aren't sure if his decision making could ever come around, so take that for what it's worth. I'm just not sure I'd want my team to be the team that has to wait for him to develop, but McDaniels got them in this situation so they have to deal with it.

Tebow's second game: 16/29 for 308 Yards, 1 TD, 1 INT passing. 10 Rushes for 27 Yards, 1 TD rushing. Looks like he earned himself another start for the regular season finale. And his win this weekend eliminates the Broncos from contention for the number one overall pick and Andrew Luck.

it seemed destiny that the next great Stanford QB should be drafted by the Broncos (I suppose that isn't entirely true, Elway was part of a draft and trade), but there's still a chance the Panthers decide to go with Clausen instead. I just don't know how you pass up someone like Luck.

Considering the Panthers are likely to change coaches very soon, it doesn't bode well for Jimmy Clausen. There isn't much good video footage of Jimmy Clausen, so his only hope of sticking in Carolina is really to have the coaches see something in him from practices this year.
That is, if Luck declares.
