Tebow is no Manning, and never will be.
Didn’t say he was. I was just pointing out that Tebow is no slouch, either. According to Cold Hard Football Facts, based on Tebow’s statistics, he was probably better than 14 starting quarterbacks last year. He needs the right spot, the right coach, and the right playbook. He has never had all three at once.
I’m sure someone said a very similar thing about Brett Favre early in his NFL career.
