“So you have evidence that, pre-House, Tebow could throw a football?”

Well, let's see. Tebow was a starter for Denver. His record there, if I remember, was 8 wins, 5 losses. That's a better winning record than the average NFL quarterback that wins 50 percent of the time.

He threw well enough to win a playoff game against a top ranked defense.

With the Jets Tebow completed 75 percent of his passes. After that, fearing he would ruin their 6-10 record, Tebow was forbidden from playing.

Well, let's see. Tebow was a starter for Denver.

During which time he completed only 46.5% of his passes - no evidence there that he could throw a football.

He threw well enough to win a playoff game against a top ranked defense.

Completing only 47.6% of his passes while rushing for 50 yards and a TD - no evidence there that he could throw a football.

With the Jets Tebow completed 75 percent of his passes.

6 of 8, for an average YPC of only 6.5 - 67th out of the 68 QBs who completed a pass that year. No evidence there that he could throw a football.

And then Tebow got absolutely destroyed the following week, which everyone fails to mention.

The Broncos were winning in spite of Tebow, not because of him. I watched some of those games. Balls landing well before receivers or sailing far above their heads. His completion % in the NFL has been horrendous.
