Tebow really hasn’t achieved that much. His career completion percentage is 47.9%, his career QB rating is 75.3, he’s got 17 TDs, 9 INTs, and 7 fumbles. He won a few games when playing on a team with a VERY good defense, but a number of those games he won with fewer than 10 completions.
And if you want to see his mechanics look him up on youtube. The tape is there and available, and his mechanical flaws are pretty obvious.
Tebow just finished his 3rd season, he HAS been given opportunity to succeed or fail.
Sorry but Tim’s being held to the same standards as everybody else. Probably the worst thing that happened to him was Denver trading up to get him in the 1st round. Every mock draft in the country had him as a 3rd round pick. Less is expected of 3rd rounders than 1st. In all truth he’s had a pretty typical 3rd rounder career. If it wasn’t for the cult that surrounds him and insists all bad things that happen to him are because of his faith he’d be just another anonymous 3rd rounder.
All he did was win. He led Denver to a playoff appearance nobody thought they should get.
The QB in Seattle is 5’11”. He can’t see over the line to throw passes. However, he has giant hands and one of the strongest arms in the league, and can run. Their coaches designed an office that could take advantages of his strengths and turn his weaknesses into at least neutrals.
Not sure Rex Ryan has the staff for those kinds of nuances. Frankly, hiring Manning worked out for Denver because they got a coach in the bargain.
Put Tebow in the right offense and I think he’d do well.
