All the college accolades in the world don’t mean squat once you get your first paycheck. Just as true for football players as everybody else in the world. Once you’re a pro it’s your professional accomplishments that matter. And Tebow’s professional accomplish basically add up to completing a few passes while his defense kept it close, except in the games when the defense couldn’t keep it close. 4 training camps, 3 teams, 4 coaches, always 3rd on the depth chart.

Tebow has a winning NFL record and a playoff win. In the games where he played well, which was the majority, he did an exceptional job of ball control and scoring efficiency.

The way I see it, Jacksonville has absolutely nothing to lose by giving Tebow a shot. They might even get 30,000 to go their games if they bring Tebow in.

He has a less than 50% completion rate. His TEAM that includes 52 other men, many of which do important things like keep the other team from getting points, has a winning record. Sorry but there really aren’t many games he did well, there’s a 5 game streak where he didn’t manage to complete more than 9 passes but still won, which is certainly NOT him doing an exceptional job of anything.

Tebow's stats for 2011 were 126 completions in 271 attempts for a 46.5 completion percentage. He threw for 12 touchdowns, had 6 interceptions, ran for 660 yards and fumbled 13 times. He also had 6 delay of game penalties. Those are not exceptional stats by any measure.
