If he didn't throw 3 picks vs Atlanta I bet he wouldn't be playing so conservative out there. The guy has the power to change plays at the LOS I don't think he is going out there like Cutler and running what McCoy calls without having a couple options to call at the line. He has faced 3 good D's and at least never gave up on a game yet. I think as the season goes on and he gets into a rhythm during the week we will see a more confident Manning. If not then he is hurt and we got damaged goods. |

Also, a ball boucing off Tebow's head as a receiver only besmirches his receiving abilities. That plays significance to his QBing is irrelevant. |

Punt protector, WR, TE, FB/RB, and QB. Even Sporano doesn't care to use Tebow that much. Tebow is nothing but a gimmick player out there which he was brought in to do exactly that. If Tebow had chosen the Jets, he is one stupid guy. |

the reality is that Tebow has a unique skillset that the HC and OC have to embrace and build around. if they don't do that, then the most he can be is a gadget player the way the Jets are using him. he had a chance to be an adequate/mediocre pocket passer, but his mechanics are so F'ed up now and the deluge of criticism against him so loud, nobody is going to give him that chance again. he has a strong arm. he has an accurate arm (he proved that in college and in his rookie year). he is a good citizen. he's a team player. he won the Heisman. etc. and yet guys like Boomer Esiason are sooooo offended that Tebow plays the same position in the NFL that they played that they can't help themselves from attacking the kid any and every chance they get. i wouldn't want to be in Tebow's shoes. i'd be tempted to tell them all to go F themselves everytime somebody put a camera or microphone in my face. but he continues to grin and bear it. he's not a Bronco anymore so it doesn't matter too much to me, but i think he would have brought some excitement and innovation to a league that has become too much about risk aversion and mimicking what everyone else is doing. |

Look at Old Man Stokely's sudden revival to see how important familiarity is, even for one of the best QB's ever to play. Tebow had none. Not to mention a new coach brought in just in time for a cancelled offseason. You'd have a hard time inventing a less ideal scenario for a rookie QB to move into his second season. In the end, if you couldn't find reason to give Tebow the benefit of the doubt, you shouldn't do so for Manning either. As for me, I think more time is justified in both cases. |

But the bottom line is he's gone and he isn't coming back. And two early-season (less-than-6-point) losses to teams that will most likely be appearing in the postseason... is hardly cause for hand-wringing or wails that the sky is falling. |

![]() This thread is still alive after all this time, and yet none of the people who hate the guy ever admit they hate the guy. It's pretty hilarious honestly.

![]() Still think that Tebow starts by week six. Without Revis, the Jets are a 6-10 team this year at best. Sanchez is basically a more mobile Kyle Orton.

Maybe you're new to football. You stick that pass. You don't "protect" the tight end standing still behind the sticks. You drive it in there and he covers up. |

![]() He was sitting, right over the first down line, waiting for the ball. Had stopped his momentum.
