After watching Tebow last year, it is easy to realize that the defense won the games. Mike Golic on Mike&Mike in the morning said it the best way that I've heard about. In the NFL, you have to score 22 points to expect to win the game. If you hold the other team to less than 22, as a rule, they WILL LOSE. If your team doesn't score 22, you should expect to LOSE that game.
Take a look at last years Broncos scores for the games Tebow was the starter.

Look at how many times the Broncos won the game, but failed to score 22 points. Miami, KC, NYJ, SD, Chi were all wins with less than 22 points scored for the Broncos.
The DEFENSE won the games for the Broncos...
Tebow sucked for most of the game, then when he was presented with as many opportunities as any QB could expect to get in a game, he got lucky at just the right time and got credited with the win.
Additionally, if you cater an offense to utilize Tebow's talents (running around in the backfield and having receivers run to areas where he can find them, instead of receivers running routes and the QB staying stationary), and he gets hurt, what QB is going to step in and be productive? Vick is the only one I can think of that could play a similar style. There may be others, but none come immediately to mind.
As a GM, would YOU be willing to stake YOUR JOB on Tebow, and maybe Vick, succeeding?
What about the Coach? Mularkey got ONE YEAR to prove he could win in the NFL as a Coach. What Coach in his right mind is going to take the job, with all the pressure to produce, and WANT Tebow as his QB? Not me that's for sure...
Build through the draft, with a couple of FA's to fill stop-gap positions.
Trying to rework the entire offense to fit a single player is just stupid...
