A few weeks ago, I was talking with a high-level NFL executive who told me, based on talking directly with the Broncos, that the team’s original plan was to play Tebow a few weeks for the fans, and then start with the rebuilding process. Tebow was former coach Josh McDaniels’ pick and the Broncos, according to this executive, wanted to move on. They wanted nothing to do with the McDaniels’ regime.

— Michael Lombardi, reporting that Tim Tebow was, apparently, supposed to fall on his face, and ruined a well-laid plan. If true, this is exceptionally damning of Broncos brass, who sent a player on the field specifically to fail instead of seeking out what they thought was a better solution.
