You're right, the second they saw a way to get a legit top 5 qb in NFL history they got rid of Tebow. There are about 25 other qbs in the league who would have been dropped as well if Peyton showed interest in that team.
Its funny how so few of you can find a reason for Sanchez starting over Tebow so you immediately try to talk about the Broncos situation, thinking we gonna just let you slide with that.
This would all be true, IF the majority of the games Tebow played in were losses.
The irony is, people(teams) are scared of him succeeding.
Tebow only beat ONE winning team his entire starting tenure in Denver. ONE. In the playoffs against a banged up Steelers team that couldn't game plan for him correctly. Every other team he beat ended up 8-8 or worse. And what people forget is... he lost his last 3 games of that regular season including to the QB he got to start over.
Point is... when it came time to face a legit team (not a team who backed into the playoffs like the Steelers), he folded up like lawn chairs. Most QBs could beat a bunch of 8-8 teams too if my defense was top 7, a top 10 running game, and the QB didn't turn the ball over. Just ask the Seahawks and 49ers. And they actually ARE good teams.
They don't wanna hear it.
And you know why. Some folks really are starting to believe that Tebow REALLY made those wins happen. No, all Tebow did was make the Broncos a real running threat and therefore allowed for clock management to control the game. From there, the defense was way more rested and could play a LOT better.
Folks forget that Orton had them going 3 and out on the regular. Tebow had them running 6 minute drives that scored points only half of the time. Half their late season wins were 13-10 or the team only won by 7 or less.

I dont think anyone is arguing that Tebow is great or even good. People are arguing that he was a better option than Orton (which you agree with) and would have been a better option than 2012 Mark Sanchez.

Umm, those reasons you listed are EXACTLY why they are afraid of him succeeding. Him winning games means you have to build ur team around what he's best at.
Tebow would be a non-issue if he was a proven loser.
