Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
Tim Tebow replaced Kyle Orton, perhaps for good, and nearly brought the Denver Broncos all the way back to beat the San Diego Chargers, falling just short as time expired. But what a way to go out. The Broncos nearly made up a 16-point deficit and had a shot to tie it as time expired, with only 30 yards and a Hail Mary separating them from a win.
And what a hilarious Hail Mary attempt it was. Video after the jump.
Not even sure how this would be described in text form. Tebow ran around, spun around a couple times and finally unloaded, with his attempt hitting the ground after what seemed like a minute-long play. On the radio call, the word "pirouette" made an appearance, and we all walked away from the game wondering what in the world just happened.
And tell me this isn't the look of a dog chasing its tail.
Tebow will probably start next week because it seems logical at this point. And while we don't know whether he'll be a solid option or not, hopefully it means more pirouettes and confused running.

The comeback that coulda been!
How bout the no call on the last play where the WR was clearly shoved out of bounds!

Give Tebow credit
It sure is exciting to watch him play, win or lose

I'm happy Tebow is finally going to get a chance
The Broncos weren’t going anywhere with Orton so they might as well let Tebow get some games under his belt and even if he fails he just increases their chances of getting Luck in the draft. I think Tebow has a chance to be a starting QB, I think he is much better in game than he is in practice.

As awkward as that was...
… I was impressed that he had the awareness to look for the rusher who had otherwise run right past him. A lot of other QBs would’ve forgotten about that guy, and likely ended up dead immediately thereafter.

I wouldn't sell Tebow short just yet.
He seems to find a way to silence the critics…

Go Denver!

Ugh
That O-line looked horrible on that play, no wonder he was on a swivel, he didn’t know where he was about to get killed from.
