"Tebow has six comebacks in the fourth quarter and OT this season, I think he's got a good idea how the whole 'elevate my level of play in the final five minutes' thing works." SN
The very fact that this question is being asked is insulting to the game.
Tebow’s magic might work against the Bears who cannot score points but against a team which can score points i.e. the NE Patriots it won’t. While the Broncos were completely sucking they only fell behind by 10s. Three quarters of not scoring against NE may find the Broncos behind 40-0 rather than 10-0. Tim won’t have any answer for that. Plus, NE won’t play the last four minutes like they are TOTALLY braindead.
Stupid question. Brady’s been clutch for 10 years....
predictions?
I like Tebow, but no true football fan would even answer such a dumb question, including Tim Tebow I would bet.
Do you have a dog?

NE 34 - DEN 17
Brady may by the end of his career go down as the Greatest QB of all time.
Tebow is a nice story this year.
I like Tebow but the Pat’s win tomorrow
“his supermodel girlfriend will dump him,”
Giselle is Mrs.Brady. They have a 2 year old son.
Word on the street is that she misses Brasil. Wouldn’t you?
Of course it is early yet, but Tebow has already far surpassed what the naysaying haters-of-the-good on the left were hopefully predicting for him.
And that's why the questions aren't "fair" to either quarterback. It's like comparing apples and oranges.
I think part of the fun of watching sports is debating the rise of new stars and they are going to perform. The way to measure them is by comparisons against existing records.
I admire Brady's record because he was overlooked in the draft and came from nowhere (in a sense) to make all the scouts and prognosticators wonder how they missed him.
Tebow has a bit more pedigree with the Heisman. But, "they" all say he doesn't have what it takes. That makes me his fan right from the start. I love the underdogs and the guys who fly under the radar until their performance is impossible to ignore.
Back in the 80's the 49ers used their first round pick to claim a receiver from a division 1AA school; Mississippi Valley State University who didn't even get a single scholarship offer from a Division 1A school. We all know how that went.

The Patriots are fortunate to be 10-3 this season and with the defense they have, they are not likely to get deep into the playoffs this year anyhow, so I won't be broken-hearted to see them drop a game to Tebow and the Broncos.
Historically, the Patriots have a tough time in Denver so they they can keep Brady's offense to under 30 points, they have a chance.
While I'm not ready to put Tebow in Brady's class just yet, Tebow's season is somewhat reminiscent of the run Brady had in 2001, when he took over for Drew Bledsoe and led the Pats to their first Super Bowl victory.
Really? How many fourth quarter comebacks has Yates engineered?
Absolutely silly question to ask.
I am the biggest Tebow fan around and loathe the Pats. But this question is just silly.
Rice won Super Bowls. Tebow has won a few regular season games, with a lot of help frol an awesome defense and a great kicker. Peiple wanting to make any long term predictions about Tebow now aren’t really interested in football, just the political implications of his few impreaaive wins.
