This is the year that Tebow gets exposed.

[Phishfan]

I would indeed think more of Tebow if he played another position (provided he played it well).

I have to disagree a bit there Cathal. Tebow really is not a shifty tunner that makes people miss. He just gets into a hole and runs straight ahead.

[suck for luck]

I don't like that he is getting all this coverage and praise when he sucks at his job.

I'm thinking your hatred might be misplaced.

I don't know about that. When he scrambles he makes DBs miss him by juking. He's quite a shifty individual for his size.

It is and it isn't.  Sure the media annoys me by their coverage, but there's nothing I can do about that.  But if there were no Tebow, they'd be forced to talk about good players *gasp*

Besides, Tebow doesn't WANT to play TE or FB.  What makes you think he'd want to do that when he can play QB and have unlimited spotlight and press?

That is what I am saying. I don't see that in his style. He typically just barrels ahead. That is why people think he would make a good fullback.

But if there were no Tebow

Now you're hating him for existing. LOL Just messin' with ya.

[masterfins]

Moore.  No question.  Is that a serious question?

Yeah it was a serious question.  Tebow somehow wins games.  I wouldn't mind him as a short term solution at QB.

[Brian Fein]

That's a fluke and won't last.  "Somehow" winning games only works against crap teams.

So last year's Steelers team was a crap team? Interesting... -EK

[Brian Fein]

Last year's Steelers game was sheer luck.  Blind squirrel finding a nut.  They called the right play against a suicide blitz, and Tebow made a 5 yard throw.  Good for him.

[EKnight]

This is exactly what I mean about people making excuses when he's successful. What about the OTHER three pass plays that went for 51, 30, and 58 yards. Those were all 5 yard luck plays too, right? He averaged over 30 yards per completion during that game and accounted for three TDs VS. no INTs against the best defense in football last year. Man, he's "lucky." -EK

Now THAT'S funny.

IF people thought he was any good he would be starting for someone this year AND some team would have parted with more than a 4th rounder for him.

The fact when Denver put him on the trade block nobody wanted him to be their starter and nobody would part with an early round pick tells you all you need to know. Pure luck last year most weeks. Had his kicker hitting 60 yard field goals. Had guys drop onside kicks (Marlon Moore) to keep games alive, had Marion Barber who all he had to do was fall down...the idiot run out of bounds and then fumbles a few plays later. It literally was "an act of god" most weeks that they won.

He had games where he would complete 10 passes in a game but won. He found a way and good for him but he isn't a good QB. He might be out of the league in a year or two in all honesty because he can't play and few teams will put up with the side show circus he brings with him (not his fault he gets the attention, but that's reality)

This is a great example of what I mean. No, his kicker didn't hit any 60 yard field goals. He hit 4 from over 50, absolutely, but as usual, when people dislike Tebow, the actual facts get a bit distorted to rewrite history. They guy won games. A lot of games. I would venture to say 90% of them were flat ugly wins, but he took a 1-4 team to the playoffs, and won a first round game with his arm. There's no denying that. He had more plays of 20 yards + against the Steelers in one game than they gave up all season. I'd take 8 wins from a Miami QB over 10 "pretty" losses. Insofar as him being a starter, if you don't believe he's going to be starting for the Jets at some point this year, I think you're missing something. My guess is still by week 6 after they have gone 1-4 to start the season. That's my official prediction; I'd love to revisit it by then. -EK

I stand corrected, it was a 59 yard FG    Same difference
