Denver Broncos fans loved Tim Tebow, but they aren't blind. Most of them know that Peyton Manning is a big upgrade at quarterback.
According to a public policy poll taken in Colorado, 53% of voters in the state prefer Manning to Tebow, who only got 26% to support him. But the numbers flipped when the question was asked of the most conservative voters.
Fifty-three percent of the respondents that called themselves "very conservative" and admired Tebow's religious views would have preferred that Tebow stay at quarterback, while only 28% of those Coloradans are happy Manning is aboard.
You could actually make a football-based argument for Tebow. It would begin and end with Manning's health risk in the wake of multiple neck surgeries. We suspect Tebow's diehard supporters simply had faith.
