Wow...that last INT Manning threw was totally his fault....that throw was so weak, he hung a ball in the air on a 15 yd pass. A throw that Tebow can make...contrary to his critics
Manning is a very good QB....but his smarts and leadership have always made up for his meh mechanics over the years. As he gets older his not so great mechanics are more apparent. His passes today floated
Tebow can’t thread a pass like that. And Manning has EXCELLENT mechanics, he’s got the shortest snap to throw time in the league. His biggest problem has been not enough coaching and too much predictability. That’s what so regularly kills him in the playoffs, when coaching counts most a player that’s allowed to be his own coach loses. That’s how The Saints beat him, they jumped his favorite route.
The one that got exposed in today’s game was Champ Bailey. Who’s never been consistent, often a very good player but believes his own press too much. He got beat for 2 or 3 TDs, that’s the game.
Tebow may not be QB extraordinaire but the favor of God is on him. Sometimes favor opens doors that talents may not.
Manning’s throws just don’t have the zip in them any more. Notice he did not throw any long passes? Most of his stuff is less than 30 yards. I think he has a year maybe two and then he is done.
