I don’t know why Denver would trade Tbow. Can you imagine 3rd downs inside the 5 ? Manning takes the snap, hands off to Tbow, who either dives into the line or throws a jump pass to a tight end or maybe Manning fakes to Tbow and throws a fade to the corner or maybe lasers a slant pass to a tight end.

It would be a nightmare for any defense.

Years ago many runningbacks (they were halfbacks then) in the NFL had been single wing tailbacks in college. A position similar to what Tebow played at U of F. Guys like Kyle Rote and Frank Gifford entered the pros being able to run and pass. Gifford perfected the halfback option pass which was an important part of Lombardi’s power sweep, made famous by Hornung and the Pack. Your scenario of Tebow at the goal line reminds me of those times. I don’t know if Tebow has the vision of a Gifford, looking for holes to run or receivers to pass to, but an imaginative coach could take a chance on developing Tebow into the next Hornung or Gifford.
