Romo completes passes, Tebow doesn’t. That’s why Romo keeps being given opportunities. Tebow’s probably gotten more opportunities than his completion percentage deserves.
Tebow is a runner who can pass.
The option game works for a while. But it has certain innate limits. It cuts the field in half and removes a bunch of receivers from the mix. It develops plays slowly. And it volunteers your QB to get tackled a lot, which means he gets injured. And running a lot means a QB isn’t making passing decisions, which removes reps from him, which is why we see so many run first QBs not get better. Just look at he wild cat to see what would happen to the option offense, it worked for about half a season, then defenses got wise, and now it’s basically gone from the game.
“Being an ex-Floridiot I loved seeing U of F win the championship. But Tebow won with running, power running, not the pass.”
hmmmm. 31 of 35 .... 432 yards.
No, those were not his runs.
“Not because of Tebow, but in spite of him. His stats, specifically his completion % is horrible.
Did you watch any of his games with Denver? Numerous passes landing yards/feet in front of receivers. Or thrown behind receivers. That is, when the passes weren’t sailing feet over their heads.”
Uh, they didn’t win without Tebow but won when they put him in ....
Tebow threads of FR as as much fun as Catholic/Protestant/Evangelical or Apple/Microsoft/Android, LOL.

...
As if that’s the only stat that counts.
It’s a big one. When you complete less than 50% of your passes any other positive stat you have is considered a fluke. The job of a QB is to complete passes, if they do that everything else will follow.
Again, not because of him, but in spite of him.
The guy averaged about 100 yards passing A GAME.
‘The worst ever’ covers quite a bit of territory. Tebow wasn’t very good, but he was nowhere close to ‘worst ever’ territory.
For that, I nominate a group effort: the 1977 Buccaneers, whose QBs combined to throw for just 1700 yards and 3 TD passes versus 30 interceptions during the year. Now THAT is awful.
Cite, please.
I’ve seen otherwise. (see how easy this is?)
Starting QB’s get hurt, period. It’s part of the game.
The Eagles worked Tebow out before they offered him a one-year deal. I guess they think they saw something. We’ll see.
Dude's a kicker. Roughly equivalent to a carnival geek and definitely not a football player.
I’ve seen a stat on it on a pregame show and I know I’ve read it elsewhere. Regardless, it’s pretty much conventional wisdom amongst NFL coaches, GMs, etc. Just read what most of them state. Yeah, you’re going to have to use Google. Carrying the ball in the open field puts you in hazardous land in the NFL because you are open to more contact. Hell, even sliding can hurt a QB. So, I’m not going to look it up and don’t care if you don’t believe it. People who can apply logic will agree.
No way, but I think he is good for maybe a quick relief QB or maybe he can serve to mix it up in a game with special plays.
I think he would be trainable though to get better and he does work hard to get stay in great shape.

So, then what I suspected is true. Your post was an attack because I made some observations about your precious NFL that you do not like.
Your the one who made the assertion, back it up.
Oops, should read “You’re the one”
Ah well.
