Tebow finally got something done in the late stage of the game where he scored a touchdown or got deep enough into the opposing side of the field that Prater can get the clutch game winning field goal.
There was only two games the Tebow really was a big reason the team won. One game against the Vikings where the Denver D had a bad day, and the Steelers playoff game. There were many more games where his inablity to make throws or handle pocket pressure almost cost the Broncos, or actually did cost them the game; the Patriots games most notability.

Refer to this post regarding my thoughts on Tebow not getting anything done 3/4 of the game...

If Tebow ends up on a team that forms around him rather than him forming around the team it could be an amazing thing.
For me this trade is great because of the huge pressure Elway has put on himself and the organization, and that Tebow may finally get his fair shot - far away from the Bronco train wreck
