The question any team now has to ask is whether they can improve his ability to pass the ball to the point where he becomes a legitimate NFL starter in a conventional offense, because rarely is a coaching staff prepared to alter their entire offense to suit just one player. In the playoffs, Tebow showed that he could succeed when put in the most optimal situation a QB will ever face. With the Steelers playing cover-zero at times–stacking the box with everybody they had–Tebow was able to find receivers in single-man coverage, and ultimately won the game for the Broncos.
That was the first (and likely the last) time he will ever face that kind of suicidal game plan. A far more telling performance came the next week against the Patriots. New England simply sat back in relaxed coverages and dared Tebow to become an NFL-caliber thrower for the day to beat them. He could not and the game was a blowout. Yes, Tebow was able to win a playoff game, something people like to claim is an achievement in and of itself. That he did it in a manner that you would expect any NFL quarterback to be able to do, means very little in these circumstances.
