Welcome to Tim Tebow's world.
On one side is a huge segment of the Tebow/Broncos nation that wants Tebow to "pull the trigger," as Broncos executive vice president of football operations John Elway put it this week. Just throw the Broncos out of their offensive funk.
And on the other is every coach of every team Tebow has played for, including John Fox, who have demanded Tebow not take too many chances and avoid turnovers at every turn.In the middle is Tebow, currently in as difficult a three-game stretch as he has ever had at any level of competition, last among the league's starters in completion percentage and set to face the league's No. 1 defense Sunday in his first playoff start as he tries to find a way to be smart and aggressive before the week is out.
"That's just a feel thing, I think you get more comfortable with it over time," Tebow said Wednesday. "You've got to be aggressive, but at the same time you've got to be smart. It's something for a while we did a really good job with that. Got away from it the last couple weeks, but something we'll have to be really good at on Sunday."
Over the past two months, defenses have progressively gotten better particularly in the past three games -- all Broncos losses -- at keeping Tebow hemmed in. The result has been a 40 percent completion rate, with three lost fumbles and four interceptions.

If Tebow wants to pass more and not worry about turnovers, this would be the week to do it.
