Shanahan: Tebow controversy will never end

FOXBORO - The Broncos' current brass has faced charges of being slow to embrace Tebow-mania. On Wednesday, Denver's former capo di tutti capi said that's probably going to be the case for a long time because Tim Tebow is so unconventional. Mike Shanahan, who won two Super Bowls with the Broncos, began by saying during a conference call with New England media that Tebow's work in Denver is "kind of great."He added, "I had a chance to work out Tim a few times and got a chance to get to know him. He did the same thing at Florida that hes doing now with Denver. Hes got a way of moving the ball and finding a way to get the ball in the end zone and people are playing at a high level around him."Shanahan and I had a great Tebow-related conversation at the 2010 NFL Owner's Meetings. He had misgivings about Tebow's throwing motion and the fact the former Florida quarterback was not fundamentally sound. But he said then he respected the way he got consistentlypositiveresults. It sounds like Shanahan's feelings are still pretty much the same. "People still come up with the big question markyoure going against a team that scores some points, can he play a catch up game?" Shanahan pointed out. "But hell keep on getting better and better and I dont think the controversy will ever end."
