The legend of Tim Tebow continues to grow. Not to be overly punny, but on Sunday, Tebow turned water into wine against the Chicago Bears. For three quarters, Tebow was awful, completing just 3 of 16 passes with an interception. However, once that fourth quarter hits, Tebow becomes magical. In the fourth quarter and overtime, Tebow was 18 of 24 for 191 yards and a touchdown as the Broncos stormed back to beat the Bears 13-10. The win gave the Broncos a one game lead in the AFC West, while effectively driving a stake into the Bears playoff hopes.
Aaron Rodgers has gotten most of the MVP hype and deservedly so. The Packers rolled Oakland today and improved to 13-0. Green Bay is running like a well-oiled machine, so it will be shocking if he is not named the MVP. However, does Tebow have a legitimate chance to win the MVP?
The Broncos are 7-1 with him starting after starting 1-4 without him. The team believes in him and that might be his biggest asset. The defense looked uninspired with Kyle Orton leading the way. With Tebow, they have turned into a ferocious unit, led by defensive ends Elvis Dumervil and probable Defensive Rookie of the Year Von Miller.
Tebow certainly didn’t win Sunday’s game by himself. Matt Prater nailed two 50+ yard field goals and the defense came up with a huge fumble with the Bears driving in overtime. However, the team has shown no quit with Tebow as the leader. The running game has improved immensely with Willis McGahee and Tebow running the option, while Tebow is making the throws when they count.
Remember, the MVP race has nothing to do with who is the best player. Aaron Rodgers would destroy Tebow in almost any quarterbacking competition. That doesn’t mean Tebow isn’t a MVP candidate. The Packers would probably be a playoff team with Matt Flynn leading the way. The Broncos were obviously not with QBs not named Tebow.
I’ve been a big Tebow hater, but I’m coming around. Tebow won’t win the MVP, but he should secure some votes. The V stands for valuable and Tebow has certainly shown he’s one of the most valuable players in the league.

Wow. Tebow is amazing. He was off early and his receivers kept dropping balls but they played as a team from the 4th quater on. There’s no doubt they believe they can win if the game is close and it’s fun to watch.

I watched the entire game, it became fun to watch in the fourth quarter. Great win for the Broncos and Tebow.
Tebow’s carries his extraordinary faith in God over to his teammates. They know this; they believe this; and for this he is the foundation for his team. It’s about time the big shots for the Broncos (such as Elway), along with the pessimistic media/armchair coaches, give him half the credit that his team does. Yes, he deserves MVP.
Whats the big deal? This guy is no better than less than half of the QBs. They wont get past the first round. Wow, five or six games in a row, just barley. What are you all getting sick of Tom Brady being always in the spotlight? Shhheeeesh!
Sportscasters cannot talk about the will of God. When you honor and glorify the Lord Jesus, He will in turn honor you. Notice Tim went to spend time after the game with a 9 year old who was at the game through invitation because of his illness. Tim never forgets who he is nor does he forget who he serves.
Notice his humility in the postgame interview while bears players were belittling him. He has character they will never obtain. When God is for you, who can be against you and still win. Fox and Elway need to understand this.
i am so happy for all tebow fans when you honor god wow
