08:01 AM ET 12.30 | Unfortunately for him and his team, Tim Tebow has been serving up turnovers over the past few weeks. It would have surprised absolutely no one if Tim Tebow had been on the receiving end of a tirade from the Broncos coaching staff during and after last week's four-turnover day in Buffalo. But that's not Mike McCoy's style. "The first thing I told him after the game was, 'Tim, don't ever question yourself,'" McCoy said following practice today. McCoy said that at this point in Tebow's development as a starting NFL quarterback, mistakes like the ones Tebow made against Buffalo (three interceptions, one returned for a touchdown, and one fumble returned for a touchdown) are learning experiences.

Serving up turnovers? Maybe he should get a job at Pepperidge Farm.

He has already lost his job in next year's training camp

Ball security seems to be a problem for Timmy lately.

Hold on to the ball, get us some field goals, the defense will do da rest, got it!!!

I think Timmy has been drinking his own Koolaid. He keeps trying to make something out of nothing and that doesn't work in the NFL.

Once Tebow got the vote of confidence in Denver his play declined. Elway better get back to treating Timmy like a stepchild before their season goes down in flames.

If that's a learning experience, Tebow could possibly be the smartest man in the NFL right now.

You guys sound like nasty old queens. Did Fran Tarkenton "work" in the NFL? Did the young John Elway "work" his way to fame? Besides, the NFL is supposed to be entertaining. Winning is the ultimate entertainment, but in the meantime who'd you rather - watch Tebow perform last minute miracles or gaze at Mr. Crabby Pants John Elway on the sideline?

Elway could sneak out onto the field and blindside Tebow with a folding chair. Jim Ross shouts, "Oh my Gawd! That's Mr McMahon's music!" and ol' Vince comes running out of the tunnel and sprays Elway with a fire extinguisher. Tebow quits the NFL to join the WWE and goes on to become the first World Champion to never use steroids.

Now that's sports entertainment.

You guys sound like a bunch of old queens. Tebow's doing pretty good for a guy who's teaching himself. He's sure not getting any help from Old Crabby Pants John Elway, who frankly looks the worst in all of this.

Elway is a tool. Be careful of taking things too seriously, though, or you might wind up joining him as co-executives of Tooltown.

December 30, 2011  12:35 PM ET

The middle part of the schedule was against softer teams. Now that he's playing somewhat better teams, he's struggling. I'm old enough to remember Sir Elway stinking up the joint when he was a rookie. To me there's much to be said about bringing your prize draft pick along a bit slower
