yet Tebow took an 0-4 team to the Playoffs - on the strength of his play and determination. He even won the first playoff game for them.

So clearly he is a verey gifted Quarterback/Leader.

The Jets decisions to stay with Sanchez never made sense.

I think your sarcasm detector needs some adjusting.

Wouldn’t be the first time I missed it.

Hard to tell, though, as there are so many here convinced that Tebow is a great quarterback, being picked on because of his faith.

I note you chose not to include his completion percentage in your list of stats provided as evidence of him being ‘very good’ with the Broncos.

Take a look at where Tebow stood in comparison to other QBs in the NFL in 2011. Highlights are found in one of my previous posts on this thread. He does not fare well in comparison.

Tim Tebow never mastered the But play like Mark Sanchez did.

Jacksoville’s GM made clear they aren’t going to go for Tebow.

He might be the only lousy quarterback to have won the Heisman Trophy.

Look into which quaterbacks have won the Heisman. There are far more busts in that list than game-breakers.

Look, you and I and everyone with any knowledge of the game knows the boy isnt remotely good enough. In fact, he is dreadful at this level.

But thats not gonna matter now people think there is a conspiracy against him because of his faith.

No he isnt fantastic.

He was an overhyped college QB, and has been exposed at NFL level as someone who is well short of even NFL averageness.

Great guy, but a top QB?. Nope, not now, not ever.

Great season?. They were 8-8.

And the much hyped win in the playoffs, that was due to an immense defence that day. Oh, and Tebow’s winning pass was 10 yards, it was the receivers brilliant 50yrd run that made that play.

Big playoff?.

He threw a 10-15 yrd standard crossfield pass, it was the brilliant run of the receiver that made that winning play.

Oh please, Eli on his worst day is better than Tebow on his best. And Peyton could beat Tebow 10 years from now.

They won the game. Funny how the level of play and the luck happens when Tebow is on the field. It reminds of the golfer, Gary Player, who said, the more I practice the luckier I get.

Oh please, the Manning brothers were groomed, coddled and NEVER sabotaged. Tebow... not so much.
