Is Tebow "taking the first three quarters off" or are they just beating the hell out of the opposing defense with their running game and tiring them out?

Still, they need to turn it on sooner to win in the playoffs (or against NE) but I think there's a little more to it than the offense just waking up with 3 minutes left in the game.

Is the read option going away completely or will it spread like the wildcat did? These are legitimate offensive options -- they create an extra man to defend, and there's no quick solution that someone will "figure out". I think it's silly to pretend that Jesus is just showing up in the last 2 minutes, instead of the alternate -- that gameplanning and this unconventional offense have something to do with it -- which is entirely possible.
