There’s no doubt that Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow is drawing a lot of attention for his style of play.   The camps are divided between Tebow walking on water and not being able to play in the NFL.  Surprisingly, after leading the Broncos to their third consecutive win, the Broncos front office is still on the fence.

According to Lindsay Jones of the Denver Post, while John Elway, Broncos executive vice president of football operations, had some praise for Tebow it’s clear he isn’t ready to have Tebow lead the team on a permanent basis.

When asked directly by local radio host Gary Miller if Elway is, “Any closer to feeling if you have your quarterback on this team,” Elway paused, and answered, “No.”

Elway then pointed to the Broncos’ third down conversion numbers under Tebow as a key area that needs to improve.

“I think obviously he’s making progress week in and week out. When you look at our third down numbers, those have to improve. I mean, that’s the bottom line,” Elway said. “We can’t go 3-for-13 and win a world championship. Those are the type of things we have to keep improving.”

“Tim Tebow did exactly what he thought he could on Thursday night. When we get in tough situations, he’s a guy that’s going to be able to make those plays,” Elway said.

While the front office is looking for their quarterback, they’ll settle for a guy that is winning games, making tough plays and increasing fan interest and attendance (a.k.a. making them money). You wonder what it takes for a guy to be wanted.
