Quote:Manziel is literally the new Tebow.

 

Run first QB with awful throwing mechanics and footwork that makes a bunch of awful pass decisions but somehow manages to get the big wins.

 

Guess which of the two I am describing.

Tebow was never really a poor decision maker.

Just because a play is successful, doesn't mean it isn't an awful decision. Some guys just have playmakers on their team to bail them out.

That wasn't the case with him. He's awful for a lot of reasons, but he almost always made the correct read and rarely made mistakes. He only had two career games with multiple picks and averaged a measly 4 picks a season during his time at Florida.

vagrantwade didn't see that many Tebow games

Quote:Still a place for the traditional QB?


*looks at Colin Kaepernick*

Are you saying there isn't still a place for the traditional QB?

 

 

Quote:Manziel makes stupid passes, and has awful mechanics.

 

SEC fans think he's "fun to watch" so they ignore this. He is literally the new Tebow.

I like the SEC but I wouldn't say im a "fan."  Whether or not you like Manziel, he is fun to watch. Unless you just flat out hate the guy then yeah maybe you don't enjoy watching him. Tebow was fun to watch in college too for that matter.

Manziel is going to have alot of fun the first time he tries his Jack Sparrow esque running around and a NFL LB takes his head off.

Quote:Watch the game tape. Every time there is a pass rush his throw is off the mark. He had a good game but not because he played well, but instead because Florida didnt show up.


I love the idea that I am a "troll". I heard the same things when I said over and over again that Garrard was the best QB on this team. I am not a huge Tebow guy, I just think he cant be any worse than Gabbert. That is my point in my sig. At least make the Jaguars games fun and interesting this year with Tebow. Gabbert could play QB for a pee wee team.

This is one of the most bizarre things I've ever read... Florida didn't show up haha wow!

I'm saying looking at Kaepernick, I'm not so sure that there's as much of a place for non-traditional QB's as you think.  His regression suggests that those non-traditional QB's don't always last.

No one said he wasn't fun to watch. But I want my favorite team to win not just "entertain" me with circus play.
