If Tebow “sucks” then there are a whole lot of QBs in this league who also “suck”. sCam Newton comes to mind. RG3 and Jamarcus Russel, Geno Smith.... I agree that QBs need to make throws, not runs, but the NFL lately seems to think that running QBs are the future of the game (I don’t). So then I ask, why is Tebow not in the NFL while these other stiffs get endless praise and endless numbers of chances to succeed? The guy did win a playoff game. He could easily be a backup QB or a starter for a team like the Raiders!
Sorry, you’re delusional. RGIII is very overrated. Now that his running game has been very curtailed, let’s see if he can make some throws. These other guys you mention haven’t had a chance to prove a thing. Jamarcus Russell is not in the NFL.
Tebow can’t throw. He even admits it. He spent all offseason with a throwing coach who tried to remake his throwing mechanics and motion. His footwork is awful and he has subpar arm strength. I like the guy, but he’s not an NFL QB and is not even close in talent to Cam Newton.
In Tebow’s one playoff win, his stat line is hardly impressive. 10 of 21 (47%)!!! with an average per completion of 15 yards. His average per completion for his career is just over 6 yards. That’s 2 yards more than the average NFL rushing yards per carry!
In his loss to New England in the playoffs that year, he was 9 of 26 (34%)for 136 yards and a 5.2 yard per completion average.
As I say, he’s a stand up guy and easily likeable. But the guy is just an awful, awful QB.
