47.9 percent completions. Multiple games with less than 10 completions. He stinks. A large part of his winning had to do with the defense shaving 15 points off their points allowed. You subtract 15 points from the opponents scores in Orton’s games he goes 4-1 and Tebow never gets a start.

He was there, he practiced, that was his shot. What he showed them was just enough to wind up 3rd on the depth chart (same spot he landed in Denver actually). Teams evaluate their talent and set the chart accordingly, if the best you can manage is 3rd, on two different teams with lousy QB, you probably stink. If he didn’t stink somebody would have traded to get him from the Jets, but even his hometown said “no thanks”.

Everybody seems to play better when Tebow is in the game, including the defense.
In other words, Tebow is no statistical circus freak winning in spite of himself. Tebow's Broncos are winning because he consistently outperforms the opposing quarterback when you take into account all aspects of production: passing, running, sacks, total touchdowns, interceptions and fumbles. In fact, he consistently outperforms them by a wide margin.

Denver is 5-0 when Tebow produces a higher Real QB Rating than the opposing quarterback and 0-1 when the other team has the advantage. And those results are no coincidence.

After all, it turns out that no stat in football outside final score -- indeed, maybe no stat in North American sports, period -- is more important than Real QB Rating this season when it comes time to separate winners and losers.

Tebow is an above average QB. Considering his youth and the lack of real support from management, he did great.

Tebow was brought in to run the wildcat, a formation that stopped working two years ago when Sparano was with the Dolphins. It's the Jets who stink, not Tebow.
