Broncos vets are ready for first look at Tebow, the "Mile-High Messiah"

[madinmaryland]

Tim Tebow will make a first impression this week. The Denver Broncos' first organized team activity, combining veterans and rookies, is Tebow's first chance to meet his non-rookie teammates. Like Kyle Orton, whose job he may take. And Brady Quinn -- whom he met once at the ESPYs -- another member of the Broncos three-headed quarterback competition.

And it's a chance for the Denver veterans to get their first look at the phenomenon that is Tebow.

If they want to engage in any early bird rookie hazing, there's plenty of material, just 25 days into Tebow's NFL career.

• Tebow led the NFL in jersey sales last month, the best-selling rookie jersey since the NFL started keeping track of such a statistic.

• Tebow's agent said he has already turned down seven-figure endorsement opportunities.

• The Broncos traded three lower picks to get back into the first round and draft Tebow, coveting the player many analysts predict will be an NFL bust.

• A fan survey came up with the nickname "The Mile-High Messiah" for Tebow.

[Renew Deal]

2. I wish him well

Except for when he's playing the Giants. He's got a lot of hype.

[Auggie]

3. Get the back-up nicknames ready, just in case:

Mile-High Mistake.

Mile-High Mishap.

Mile-High Misfit.

Mile-High Moron.

5. Funny editorial by Woody Paige comparing the hype of Tebow to Elway.

Paige: Set your watch to Tebow Time
By Woody Paige
The Denver Post

T-Bo. Timmy Today. Tim Tremendous. Bronco Tebow. Ion Man. Tim The Enchanter. Tebow & Arrow. TB-1-Kenobi.

Rambow makes his debut, alongside the other rookies, with the Broncos' veterans at the team's (in)voluntary minicamp today through Wednesday. He's back — to stay in Denver most of the spring, summer, fall and winter and probably here to stay all of his career.

Get used to it.

To those in Colorado, throughout the country and around the World Wide Web who have claimed recently they won't read another word about Tim Tebow, but are proving daily they will hang on every word about MystiQB:

Deal with it....

7. How about "The Invesco Fiasco"?

:shrug:

[FLPanhandle]

9. Sam Bradford as the #1 overall pick has less scrutiny and press than the #25 pick

Has any low end 1st rounder ever had this much attention?

[Auggie]

10. I don't know. But IMO Tebow brought the attention on himself

He could have operated under the radar but he opted to openly promote and proselytize beliefs better left personal. That tends to irritate people.

[FLPanhandle]

12. I don't know how much that is on him vs. the media.

One ad during the superbowl didn't do all this.

[Auggie]

13. Eye black messages, to start

[FLPanhandle]

14. I'm not a Tebow fan, but I think this is more on the media than him.

People have worn eye black messages before without getting a story per hour out of the media.

I think the media needs to look in the mirror.

[petronius]

16. I tend to agree. Tebow is a tool, but we wouldn't know he was a tool if it

hadn't been harped on day in and day out...

[RagAss]

15. He's got big money behind him...I'm guessing Bush crime family money...big Pug future,.

being planned.
