Funny how when the team wins, it's not due to Tebow, and every good play is luck. Manning starts with Denver losing and of course that's somebody else's fault, not to mention his playoff loss.

Here's a different look at why Tebow is a winner.

When the team won (always against mediocre opponents) it was due to the unfamiliarity of Tebow's style - when they finished 1-4 it was because Tebow's style was no longer unfamiliar.

That QB rating is pretty interesting, especially the "unmeasureds" by other systems:

+++ He gets the ball in the end zone more often than any QB in football +++ He protects the football better than any QB in football

These, admittedly, are pretty important.

There is a tendency to evaluate QB's strictly by passing completion percentage or total passing yards, but there are many other functions a quarterback needs to perform:

A. Don't fumble, B. Don't get sacked, C. Perform hand-offs cleanly, hopefully with quality misdirection, D. Run well, E. Commmunicate well on the field, F. Manage the clock, G. Recognize defensive changes, H. Audible well, I. Keep teammates focused

I WOULD like to see some other team give him a whirl, just to see what happens.
