Tim Tebow gets his first NFL start with Kyle Orton sidelined. Tebow now gets to fulfill the fantasies of his fans everywhere by getting to play more than a play or two today.
Tebow, one of the most controversial draft picks in recent memories just because of the arguments over his merits, and whether he can make the transition to the pros as a succesful quarterback, now gets a chance to answer his detractors.
Whether he makes them eat crow, or proves them right will be known by the time everyone goes to bed tonight, but until then it's fun to speculate.
Tebow has shown enough confidence in what little we've seen of him in the pros that it's doubtful he's going to get rattled in the pocket, but the Raiders defense is not going to go easy on him by any stretch of the imagination.
In a way, the Raiders are a great first test for Tebow because the Raiders know there's going to be a lot of eyes on this game, and even though the Raiders are out of the playoffs, they're going to want to make sure everyone knows they still should be in the playoff race.
