"Tim Tebow: Denver Broncos' QB Played Through Injury in Patriots Blowout"

     According to the article, Tim Tebow played through much pain during Denver's season-ending playoff game against the Pats last weekend.  "Tim Tebow was not at full health in the AFC Divisional playoff matchup against the New England Patriots this past Sunday, but the Denver Broncos' quarterback stuck it out and finished the whole game".  Tebow suffered from torn cartilage on his ribs, a bruised lung, and fluid buildup in his chest.  It is interesting that Tebow continued to play in the game even though he had injuries and his team was losing 35-7 at halftime.  They should have thrown in second string QB Brady Quinn to preserve Tebow but the Broncos fans would probably have been angered by that.   There wasn't really any hope for Denver so Quinn should have gone in the game just to make sure Tebow didn't suffer any major injuries, as he is most likely going to be Denver's starter next year.  This article was simple and to the point, but it was able to fully inform me on the topic and it was enjoyable for me to read knowing that the Pats destroyed the Broncos in the game.
     The author of this article is very blunt and doesn't reveal much more than the facts except for one point that he made clear: "Perhaps they were afraid Quinn would actually thrive and then the quarterback controversy would really heat up in Denver.  I know that's something I would have loved to have seen just stir up more debates..."  The point is, Tebow has a giant fan base yet he isn't exactly an all-star qb like people make him up to be.  Therefore, if Quinn did do well in this game, there would but much more controversy over the starter in Denver.  Nonetheless, Denver has all offseason to analyze their qb's and make a decision.  My prediction: Tebow will get the starting job.
