There’s a lot of fiasco in NY, but that doesn’t make Tebow a good QB. Both things can be true, the Jets can be a terribly run organization AND Tebow can have a completion percentage below 50... in fact both things ARE true.
In 1983, Elway started 10 games as a rookie. He was awful.Elway finished 4-6 as a starter that year. He threw seven touchdowns, 14 interceptions and completed just 47.5 percent of his passes. Elway also had one game-winning drive during that span, something he'd become known for during his career.
When you compare the two player's stats, there really is no comparison.
In 10 starts, Tebow has 14 touchdown passes, six rushing touchdowns and four interceptions. And perhaps the most intriguing stat considering how much he's been scrutinized about his passing, Tebow has a higher completion percentage at 48 percent.
Tebow has also engineered five game-winning drives, which ties him with Scott Brunner and Marc Wilson for the most game-winning drives in the first 10 starts.
As the QB gurus say, "If all of a sudden, Oregon coach Chip Kelly comes into the NFL next season, Tim Tebow would flourish in Chip Kelly's system,'' said Shea, the former Rutgers coach and NFL quarterbacks coach who has mentored Robert Griffin III, Sam Bradford, Matthew Stafford and Josh Freeman. "There's a future for Tim Tebow, if the right coach comes along."
Amazing how so many other QBs are given 3+ years to prove their ability to play and win in the NFL. Yet, for whatever reason, Tebow isn't even given one full season in a stable coaching environment.
Perhaps he will be wash. But he deserves a chance to succeed or fail.
