Or Jake Plummer's. Or Sam Bradford's. Pretty good for the worst QB ever to grace an NFL Stadium. |

Regardless of how good you think he is, he is light years better than his backup.....you know, the guy who essentially cost them the game in OT. |

Why you keep jumping to that stat is comical. It's all you got. So what if he only completed 2 passes out of 10 for 50 yds. He is hof averaging 25 yds a completions.

When you look at any of Tebow's stats per ATTEMPT, he actually looks pretty good for a young QB. For instance, he has more yards per attempt, fewer INT's per attempt and more TD's per attempt than Andy Dalton. Statistically better in almost every measurable way, other than in number of attempts... which was a function of gameplan. Last edited by BroncoBeavis; 07-30-2012 at 01:08 PM.. |

and him "passing up" the opportunity to pass in favor of scrambling when his receivers apparently aren't as open as he'd like.....which he has been criticized for already in NY. Can't blame the gameplan for that.

8 straight first-down runs to open a game? Unheard of. 21 of 22 first down runs in the playoffs? Will probably never happen again in the history of the game. Plus the fact that anything remotely close to 8 passing plays a game makes it difficult for anyone to be in a rhythm. |

So if Manning gets hurt and misses the middle 4 games on the schedule, who do you think is a better bet to win us games? Hanie or Osweiler trying to fill Manning's shoes or Tebow running the Tebow Cat? That is what I'm talking about. Tebow is an ideal bridge should Manning need to miss time prior to the playoffs.

He's their #2 QB. They shipped the FA #2 QB they'd just signed out of town when they brought Tebow in. His special teams and wild cat roles for the Jets are the result of a coaching staff not afraid to think outside the box when it comes to putting playmakers on the field. The more important question to ask is why the Broncos apparently had no interest in finding ways for an athlete like Tebow to help us win games in other ways. Why wasn't he the punt protector for us when he was supposedly 3rd string? Why weren't some wild cat plays built into the offense last pre-season? Why was Tebow treated like an afterthought despite his obvious talents when the football is in his hands? |

when Mark Sanchez hits on 55% of his passes, everyone says he needs to improve...when Tebow hits on 50%, everyone says "See, look at the improvement he's made..."

He also needs to check out this list too....but hey they're just stats. They don't explain why we sucked so much at converting 3rd downs....

Your boy Orton's QB rating through his first 16 games was 59. So at least we can tell one thing... The Jets have 2 QB's on their roster better than Kyle Orton. ![]() |

your using QB rating now? Why don't you compare Elway's career rating against Griese? |

People who worship at the altar of completion percentage think going 3 for 3 for 9 yards is better than going 1 for 3 for 12. But that makes no sense in relation to the game. |

Tebow will continue to be a force in the NFL If you don't see that you haven't been paying attention. Elway and the Broncos decided to go in a more traditional direction but that doesn't mean that Tebow has become chopped liver. Tebow is a rare individual who will succeed. |
