Myopia

A statistically average QB would do statistically below average with

A WR corp that
* Doesn't get separation
* Has far too many drops
* Doesn't run routes at the right depth to get 1st Downs (I am looking at you Eddie)
* Doesn't stretch the field

The running game would also be greatly affected because
* The numerical advantage it currently enjoys would disappear without a running threat QB
* The Defense would only have to key on and rush on runner in the game.
* The running lanes that McGahee is currently enjoying would be much smaller

The O-Line's deficiencies would also be further exposed because
* The ability to gameplan for a traditional offense means they are able to play instinct football.
* LB's no longer have to spy/be assigned to a particular player because there is no dual threat.

The league average Quarterback would also have more sacks per game and more interceptions per game.

The offense as an entire unit needs to improve. Saying that a "league average quarterback" would do league average work with the current talent on offense is short sighted and myopic.

And lets look at the "more points offense" that Denver ran with the "below average quarterback"

Week 1: Denver vs Oakland: 24 - 20 L
272 Net Yards Passing 1 Passing TD, 1 Int
38 Net Yards Rushing 0 TD's
4 fumbles, 2 lost
Third Down Efficiency 6/13 - 46%
ST: Punt return for a touchdown.
Offense total points scored: 13

Week 2: Bengles vs Broncos 24 - 22 W
187 Net yards passing 2 Passing TD's 0 Ints
131 Net Rushing Yards, 1 TD
2 Fumbles, 2 Lost
Third Down Efficiency 5/12 - 41%
Offense total points scored: 24

Week 3: Broncos vs Titans 14 - 17 L
Net Yards Passing 172 2 Passing TD's, 2 Ints
Net Yards Rushing 59 0 TD's
0 Fumbles
Third Down Efficiency 8/15 - 53%
Offense total points scored: 14

Week 4 Broncos vs Packers 49 - 23 L
Net Yards Passing 265, 3 TDs, 3 Ints
Net Yards Rushing 119 0 TD's
1 Fumble, 1 Lost
Third Down Efficiency 4/11 - 36%
Offense total points scored: 23
Third Down Efficiency 4/11 - 36%

So, by MY count, the Broncos were scoring: 13, 24, 14, 23 for an average of: 18.5 points per game! OOoooooo what an offensive juggernaut Tebow crashed and burned.

But I know I know, I don't read too good because of my residency in a zombie village.

*hangs self from sheer myopia*
