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.Tebow is an above average QB. Considering his youth and the lack of real support from management, he did great.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 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.
Or they just gelled. Or they just went against terrible opponents. Some selective stats in that story. They talk about his QB ratings in weeks 7 - 12 (presumably when the story was written), but ignore other stats like the fact that his completions for those final three games were 2, 9, and 9.

So sure in week 10 he had a rating of 102.6. But he got that rating only throwing the ball 8 times and only completing 2 passes. With that little actual QBing his rating means nothing, what matters there is 8 attempts, the rest of the team won that game, he just happened to be the handoff guy.
No Tebow is NOT an above average QB. He is a TERRIBLE QB. 47.9% career completions is NOT above average, it’s PATHETIC.
It’s not either/ or, both the Jets AND Tebow can stink. In fact if you take as a given that the Jets stink and have shown a significant trend of picking poor players the fact that they traded for Tebow helps indicate that he stinks, because if they regularly picked above average players they wouldn’t stink.
