Tebow! (Page 18)

Seriously... there is just so much to like about Tebow... unfortunately his strict QB skills are not one of them. Shame too, because the kid does not really deserve the drama. I think he weathers it well. You knew it was going to be a circus the day they signed him in NY.

I really do not know what you do with Tebow. Where you play him. Gimick plays with him at QB are not going to win you a Championship. He either plays or he doesn't. Another position maybe... Or stop jerking the guy around and get him under a seasoned vet QB and develop him the way he should be. I thought the best thing for HIM was to get some training from Elway, but Manning and launching Tebow was a no brainer. Shame for Tebow. The guy is a great player and a great team mate. I hope he works out because we all know he likes to win.

Not really...How can i be nervous by a guy that has had more balls hit his head that completions this season.

I think Sparano is a horrible a coach, but i don't think he is that bad to think that Tebow can make the jets relevant, at least in a football sense.  The Jets need to clean house, and that starts with their head coach who does a lot of talking but little winning.

My cousin is a Jets fan... I pity his liver on the coming Sundays. 

Not only can Tebow not beat out the disaster that is Mark Sanchez for the starting job, he can't even perform the basic special teams rolls that he has been asked to cover. How do you, as the "personal protector" for the punter, allow a punt to be blocked when the opposing team only rushes 2?

Now if you believe the future of the QB position lies with a player who can both run and throw, pay attention to Colin Kaepernick. He will be a better NFL QB than Tim Tebow. He more or less is Tebow, minus the distractions, minus the fullback speed, plus the ability to throw the ball more than 20 yards without one hopping it.

Tebow was undoubtedly the better college QB, but the ceiling on Kaepernick is far higher. He was raw going into college and if he had been recruited by Oregon instead of Nevada, we likely would have heard far more about him.

Showing my age, but Tebow reminds me a lot of former Vikings QB Joe Kapp.  Kapp had an ugly throwing motion, but was tough as nails and wasn't afraid to take on linebackers one-on-one when he scrambled.  The guy was a winner.  And somewhat ironically, he came to the Vikings after a successful career in the CFL...

Mark

ETA-

Not sure what the "told you so" would be.  He rarely if ever even touched the field,  He's still won far more often than he lost as a starting QB, and a coach who had his wife wearing the other QB's jersey tattooed on his arm didn't play him.  Who could have told anyone that would have happened???

I would think Miami or Jacksonville would be calling him if nothing else than for the ticket sales.

But with all the Patriots speculation, that would be interesting to see Belichick picking him up just so he can prove that you can use him to his hated fellow conference rival...

I also think he will find success in the NFL. I heard a sports talk guy this morning saying Tebow's career was over based on his stats/performance with the Jets. Rex Ryan's stupidity is no indication of Tebow's abilities. 

It's hard to get any stats if you never play.  And when you do, it's just as a decoy or in a position where everyone and their dog knows that he's going to run.

I'm not saying he's awesome or defending him.  I'm just saying if you are going to trash someone, make sure your (as in the radio guy) reasons are valid.

I honestly don't think he's been given a chance to prove he is as bad as every seems to think he is.  He had a good run with Denver - even if there was divine intervention.

THAT'S what happened!  Denver used up all their mojo/divine intervention and the payback was the miracle play by the Ravens the following year.

Tebow doesn't have any talents.  Well, none that are useful in the NFL, anyway.

He is NOT a QB, and he's short and slow for a modern TE. At best, he's a fullback, but I don't see him accepting that role.

You're just jealous because even Tebow wouldn't sign with the Browns...

I thank 8lb 7oz Baby Christmas Jeebus that he wouldn't sign with the Browns 

Why? Because you'd actually sell a few tickets/jerseys/posters/actually have a player whose name someone knows outside of Cleveland? 

All I know is Tim can take a hit.  Apparently a valuable skill for a QB on the Browns...

That's tough to agree to about someone who won the Heisman, first round draft pick, MADE it to the NFL (when so many don't).  Big, strong, good runner (maybe not as flashy as RG3).  Reports that he was a big time competitor, not a diva/cry baby like most of your wide receivers.  Seemed to get team mate to rally around him.

And again, he DID win some big time NFL games.  I'm not sure someone who doesn't have ANY NFL talent (like me) is going to go out there, take a beating for an entire game, then throw the winning TD pass in the first round of the playoffs.

I would agree that his quarterback game is not currently suited for the NFL.  But to GET to the NFL, means you have more talent than 99.99% of the rest of us at the game.  He has TONS of talent.  Just not enough to be a winning QB yet.

8-6 including two playoff games. 

That's what gets me.  He wins ugly.  I'd take a few ugly wins if I were about 10 NFL teams.  They're sure better than ugly losses.  Right Jets Fans?

He did great in college.  That isn't the NFL.  Not even remotely close.

In the NFL, his team won those games (and some stupid defensive coordinators for opponents) in spite of him.

He did great in college, and he won 8 games in the pros.  That's more than a whole lot of QBs throughout the history of the league.

Actually, at the time, people were breaking down time on the field for his Defense and they said because of the style that he plays, he's able to keep the opponent's defense on the field longer which had a direct impact particularly at the end of the game.

In other words, they won those games because of him.

Even his losses weren't awful performances by him. 

If he were to go to Seattle, JoshR would say he's the best pickup of the off season...

Hehehe.... "Uh, no"  

FTR...Vince Young is 31-19 as a starter.  Just sayin...
