Tebow Gone

[ChinaBandit]

or as Gino Smith says, "kiss my ass."

 

[hogjack]

Dead?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Him, no.


His career as a starter, most likely.

 

[Saint Peter]

Jesus Fucking Christ!

 

[Saint Peter]

Oops.

 

[Saint Peter]

Sorry.

 

[LiFeNdEaTh]

i like tebow... cowboys should sign him as a back-up QB, so when tony homo, oooops, romo fucking chokes in the playoffs.

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

God will provide.

Tebow deserves a shot.

Um, like everything else (har), I'm an expert on Football.

I did not like him at all (as a starting QB) coming out of college. As I see it, he's surpassed expectations (not my fault he got drafted in the 1st Rd. That should NOT have been the expectation).

And now he's a clown? I disagree.

He deserves the opportunity to fail. He's earned it. Put him in there, on some team that can afford to not win every game - and see what he does. Let him prove that he CAN'T win.

Cuz while everyone's been scaling the walls about this - when the dude was given an offense to lead - he wins games. Period.

Let him PROVE that he can't.


Seriously. WTF?

 

[coastal-boy]

The only teams that settle for a shit QB are the ones that have to. Those people that think Tebow wins games are small-minded...the teams he has played for wins games. He was just a participant.

 

[XXplorher]

Yeah, so let him prove that's true.

Has he really been mindnumbing lucky? Everyone around him was special? And not him?

Let him prove it aint...


ya dumbass.

Let's see...collegiate career...what team did he play for?

Next question, if they had different QB, would they still have been as good?

Let's move to Pro...what teams did he play for?

Next question, how have those teams done without him? (I don't consider losing to the eventual champs in double OT a bad showing...especially when the same team beat New England AND SF)

ignorant fuck...he is a second rate QB. Let him play...sure...

 

[Boxlicker101]

He was one of the best players in the country while at U. of Fla, one of the best teams over that period: http://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/tim-tebow-1.html

Mate - you are a complete stooge.

Can you hear anything other than your own hand?


I made my argument clear. No need to perpetuate it with the exacting opposition of awareness.

 

[KyleW]

How in the world has he "earned" an opportunity to fail?

 

[coastal-boy]

I agree with the one of the best teams...that is my point. If he really was one of the best players, he wouldn't be in this situation would he? This is a no-brainer. I have nothing against the guy...he has heart. But he needs an offensive line to function. Where would he excel? NE, SF, GB, Seattle. Would any of these teams pick him up? Maybe...as a backup if the price is nothing. Who will pick him up? Dallas, Orton and Romo...both in their 30's with their peak long gone with no other backups other than some rookie they just picked up.

 

[coastal-boy]

47.9% passing rate
4.7% TD%
2.5% interception rate
75.3 rating

yep...those are some stats there.

 

[John Doe]

Fuck him. Give him a buck.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

He's gonna fry him up some chicken!


Gonna be a fry-cook!

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

He'll probably do well in the Canadian League...

 

[kbate]

Tebow deserves a shot.

Um, like everything else (har), I'm an expert on Football.

so if I have it right, the NFL should heed your sage advice, while ignoring that of its scouts, managers, trainers, coaches, other players, statisticians, owners, general managers and the hundreds of advisers whose input they receive before making a choice to cut a player?

 

[Boxlicker101]

Well, I hope he doesn't take this offer: http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2013/04/30/tim-tebow-omaha-beef-contract-offer/2124481/

It would be too much of a comedown.

He is an accurate passer and a pretty good runner, and he did well enough in his only full season in the NFL. He could be a backup quarterback and a tailback.

I think one problem is he makes too much of his religion. It is his own business as long as he keeps it his own business and is not trying to proselytize his teammates in the locker room. To somebody who is not interested, this can be very grating.

 

[LiFeNdEaTh]

God will provide.

lol...

...

Silver quotes an unnamed AFC coach who says: "He seems like a great guy to have on a team, and I'd be tempted to bring him in as our backup. But it's just not worth dealing with all the stuff that comes with it."

There's a simple solution to that: Play Tebow. Judge him by his performance on the field, not by the attention his fans give him.

Tebow was good enough as a starting quarterback in Denver to produce a 7-4 record, and pull off an overtime win against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the playoffs. Yes, Tebow doesn't have the arm that most starting NFL quarterbacks boast – in a game that has evolved into a QB-centric passing sport. That's a huge disadvantage for Tebow.

So, maybe Tebowmania is the excuse that is being given for those who don't believe he has the appropriate skill set.

But why isn't more credence being given to the former Jets QB Vinny Testaverde's comments about Tebow?

Testaverde says he and former NFL QB Chris Weinke worked with Tebow in April. "Chris and I looked at Tim careful and we were both amazed," Testaverde told Rich Cimini at ESPNNewYork.com. "Everybody has been focusing on his throwing motion, trying to fix that, but nobody had picked up his footwork. His footwork was all screwed up. Chris and I looked at each other after about four or five throws, and we saw the same thing. We got his footwork fixed. His throwing motion is now a non-issue. "He throws with what we call 'effortless power.' He doesn't have that elongated motion anymore and his head isn't moving 2 1/2 feet when he throws it."

How many NFL quarterbacks need a few years of seasoning? Most do.

It's possible, that like Kurt Warner or Doug Flutie, Tim Tebow will have to go to the Canadian Football League or the Arena Football League to polish his game before the NFL will give him another shot.

Here's another theory that hasn't gotten a lot of attention yet: Is Tebow – or Tebowmania – "too Christian"? Tim Tebow wears his faith on his uniform sleeve. Did his on-field Tebowing embarrass some team owners? Is it this particular kind of media circus that bothers team owners and coaches?

Tim Tebow may never play in the NFL again. But Plan B could be a career as a motivational speaker, a preacher - or a politician. Last Thursday, Tebow was the featured speaker at the the Economic Club of Southwest Michigan in Benton Harbor.

"If all I am is a football player and that is it I would consider my life to be a tragedy,” Tebow told the attendees, who ranged in age from pre-teens to senior citizens, according to MLive.com. "Being an inspiration is more important that winning football games. I want to be a great role model to the next generation.
