23. Your assumption is that he will never improve.

Even operating under that assumption, I don't think you just tell Tebow to GTFO after this season with no plan at QB. I think you put a safety valve in place in case it doesn't work out (signing Jason Campbell would be my move, if it's palatable cap-wise). If he crashes and burns, you have a plan. But investing a lot of money into a different quarterback at this time would be stupid.

The Tebowcoaster has taken away from the fact that this team needs new defensive players at every position except OLB and DE. I'd rather they fix that, become a poor-man's Baltimore, then focus on offense the following year. By then, Denver should miss the playoffs due to the more challenging schedule, and if Tebow regresses you can justifiably send him packing.
