Come on Rev, none of that matters. You know that. Neither does winning games. All the matters is the spiral.

Don't forget comp %. That's why Ponder is playing in the superbowl already

In this case..Yes..

Get used to Tebow as he is going to be our QB for another 10-12 years..

True...


He is totally full of himself...which is ugly and I hate it.


I would say he's definitely more explosive and more athletic...


Both are damn good football players that could learn from one another...

But I'm trying to change that, whether I'm going to have to turn that house into a safari, or I'm just going to have to get out of that house. I'm not saying I'm trying to leave this place. I'm just trying to get everybody on my level."

Do you think Brady would be playing in the SB this weekend if he completed 40% of his passes against the Ravens?

I don't hate Tebow you clown. I was one of few posters happy when we drafted him on this board before it got flooded with UF fans. As for you saying he will be here 10-12 years we will see. If Elway doesn't see improvement next year, Tebow will be gone.

But I don't understand why it's so hard to conclude he had a lousy game yesterday.

Maybe it's because, if you allow for a minute that a quarterback with a bright future can have horrible stats in a losing game, then maybe Tebow's last postseason game doesn't mean he can't play at this level, either.

Maybe, just maybe, Cam stepped into a good situation offensively, one that was geared to help him succeed, and he made the most of it. Because in an environment yesterday where it was more vanilla NFL, he crapped the bed.

Said it before. Will say it again. Go watch some Cam highlights. 75% consist of guys getting WIDE open in 3-4 wide sets, or stud receiver (aka Steve Smith) making a spectacular grab in traffic.

No reason to think Tebow wouldn't be similarly successful in that same kind of set up. It's where he and Cam excel. And there's no reason to believe that Cam would have anything resembling his passing numbers running 2WR sets with linemen constantly checking in to play TE.

You don't hate Tebow. You just get upset every time someone makes an argument that favors him, or says anything negative about any other QB.

That sure makes sense...

if those 40% were enough to win the game, then, yeah.

Tebow haters aren't very good at using logic I have noticed.

Tebow completed two passes against the Chiefs and we won. remember? people that care about numbers are people that dont care about applying wisdom to them. Its like how a child thinks.

There are measurable figures that prove Tim is dramatically more explosive and athletic.

...Did you not see his performance against the Ravens?

2 INTs, 0 TDs, 230 yards a 57.5 QB rating.

One of the poorer play off QB performances outside of Roethlisberger in the super bowl.

That's worse than Tebow on average without including Tebow's rushing effectiveness.

You would say that, however pretty much every measure of explosiveness and athleticism from the combine says otherwise.

It is a very clear answer.

So you can't give an opinion? We don't do that here? And why doesn't it "deserve answering"? Because the most likely answer wouldn't support your argument

I don't see where you directly asked me a question. But the answer is rhetorical. So unlike my question, to which an opinion can be formed and presented, there is no reason to answer yours.

And what's the value? Is Alex Smith better than Drew Brees because the Niners beat the Saints?

He still completed over 50% of his passes. I see ZERO wrong with wanting Tebow to improve in this area.

So completion percentage is the only thing that matters? You do realize Tebow has a winning record, right? You do realize that most would say Brady had a bad game, right?

NOthing is wrong with that. We all want it to improve.

However, it is way down the list of important things. Winning is the most important.

You know that thing that happened once we started Tebow.


Wins, remember those.


Taco said this place wouldn't suck so much once we started winning. Guess he underestimated the hate of morons.

You are a complete half wit. I think at least half of the GMs in the league would take Tebow over Newton. How does that not support my argument.

You'll now make a completely subjective statement and hold it as evidence that my opinion doesn't make sense because your completely subjective opinion is different.

That's why your question doesn't deserve answering, because it's a stupid circular argument.

I don't see where you directly asked me a question. But the answer is rhetorical. So unlike my question, to which an opinion can be formed and presented, there is no reason to answer yours.

The value is that playoff success is a pretty good measure of progress, and Alex Smith was better on the only day that mattered.

No no. What the spiral looks like and what each of us projects about what GMs would take Tebow over Newton also matters. Please pay attention. It's the only way to measure a QB.

Define explosive and athletic:

Newton

AYPC:
5.6

Long Run:
49

TD Rushing:
14 (NFL Record)

Tebow:

AYPC:
5.4

Long Run:
32

TD Rushing:
6

From the NFL combine:

Newton Tebow Advantage
40 4.56 4.71 Newton
20 2.6 2.66 Newton
10 1.58 1.55 Tebow
Verticle 35 38.5 Tebow
Broad 10'06" 9'7" Newton
20 Shuffle 4.18 4.17 Tebow
3 Cone 6.92 6.66 Tebow

Slight edge to Tebow on the measurables from the combine...but I'll take Newton's accuracy over Tebow's superior athletic ability.

What QB will have more success in the spread option?

Can't call Tebow "dramatically" more athletic than Newton, that's for sure.

That's a lot of work just to agree with what I said to you.

lol "He had one of the worst games of his career and even said in his post game presser 'I sucked today' but he completed 50% of his passes!"
