This is really a thing.

There is a petition to bring quarterback Tim Tebow (career completion percentage: 47.9) back to the Denver Broncos.

Tebow (career quarterback rating: 75.3) did win a playoff game with the Broncos after the 2011 regular season when Denver beat Pittsburgh in overtime.

This petition is at change.org, and as of Friday morning 8,748 people had signed it. Here is the description of why Tebow (career average passing yards per game: 103.6) should be back in Denver:

The Denver Broncos have lost their two main quarterbacks from their epic 2016 Super Bowl Championship winning season. We need a proven winner to continue to move this team in the right direction. Coach Gary Kubiak’s offense would thrive with Tebow under center. He and the legendary John Elway can make this happen. We dont need a subpar throwaway from some other team, we need an original Bronco who has the fire, desire, and love of the game to play as a Bronco again! As a bonus the Bronco fans would be ecstatic! He just wins, we all know this! #TebowTime

All Tebow (career playoff completion: 40.4 percent) did was win? According to Pro Football Reference, his career record as a starter is 9-7, and his last regular-season start came against the Chiefs on Jan. 1, 2012. The Chiefs won 7-3.
