Very clever of you to use an article from right before the wheels came off the Tebow situation. In just a few weeks after that the situation got a lot uglier.
Here’s the real career stats:
http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/13200/tim-tebow
His combined stats is 29 TDs on 558 touches with 9 INTs and 14 fumbles.
And you really need to look at the end of that regular season, what happens when the league figured out a player that has no consistency:
NE L 11 comp from 22 attempts no TDs
Buf L 13 comp from 29 attempts 1 TD 3 INTs
KC L 6 comp from 22 attempts no TDs 1 INT
He simply is not a good QB. For a while there it was an entertaining circus to watch a guy win games 10 or fewer completions, but we knew it couldn’t last, it was a gadget style of offense and eventually defenses always catch up to the gadget, in the end your gadget needs to supplement a QB that consistently throws completions. Tebow isn’t that QB, he’s just gadget. Which is why he’s always been 3rd on the depth chart, and why he’s now out of the league.
And after the “wheels came off” he had the big playoff win against Pittsburgh. Clever, isn’t it?
