Former Raiders defender Howie Long, who spent a lot of time chasing around Denver great John Elway, believes quarterback Tim Tebow has the same will to win as his boss. "He's an impressive guy," Long said of Tebow on "The Dan Patrick Show". "I'll tell you one thing he has, he has John's will to win. But John, I think, in some ways, is up in that suite, and there's a little padded section to the room -- and he's banging his head off the wall." When asked Monday about Tebow's status as starting quarterback post-2011, Elway, the executive vice president of football operations, remained vague/distant: "I know everybody wants to know, but our future's right now." The Broncos are 6-1 under Tebow during a feverish run to first place in the AFC West.
