How is Tim Tebow doing?

With all the hype and polarized response that his drafting got, I don't get to hear much about how things are going for Tim Tebow in Denver. I really haven't looked around for information but since OTAs are now over, some news has become to come out. Sports Illustrated actually has entire article about Tebow's development in Denver, and I pretty much loved it. The entire article is here.

Kyle Orton is still the starter for the Broncos, Tebow is progressing but he still has work to do and ways to go. He has moved up to the 3rd string and there is a possibility he could overtake Brady as the back up to Orton. I would be more worried he gets pushed up too quickly and then he starts a game and looks awful, so I'm fine with him not starting this year. I would rather him start when he is ready, but McDaniels does have a lot riding on him. Tebow is impressing his fellow Broncos with his work ethic so at least he is getting the locker room around him. Baby steps.

Choice selection:

"Still, Tebow is brimming with a quiet confidence about his NFL prospects, even though he knows he's far from the player Denver thinks he can be. McDaniels is befuddled at those around the game who think Tebow's an NFL disaster waiting to happen. Way too high at 25th. Mechanics will never be right. Can't remake a quarterback in one off-season. McDaniels got suckered by the kid's Eagle Scout demeanor.

"Actually, I love that," said Tebow after his throwing session, leaning against the wall across from the team meeting room. His left arm, from the forearm to the nape of his neck, was mummified in ice, wrapped in a dozen ace bandages. "I think we both love it. It's a little bit of us against the world. It will be wonderful when I prove him right."
