Quote:Glad you said enlighten me. Here goes.

 

1. You recall he threw for 50% in his first year. They actually let him throw. You can watch the videos but even the annoucers said he was making NFL throws. I can provide the links if need be.

2. Year 2 rolls around and somehow he gets demoted to "4th string" when the new coach came in. 

3. the 4-19 amazing broncos defense, goes 1-4 during a lockout season, so they bring in Tebow during the charger game in a normal offense and he looked pretty good and almost brought them back.

4. He is named starter, but before he starts they dump the only two receivers he worked with. And then for whatever reason switched to this run run, possible pass on 3rd down offense and wouldn't let him throw more then 10 passes a game. Lock out season remember and new head coach and offensive coordinator. 

5. So only passing that many times, heck ya it looks bad. Can't even get warmed up.

6. He goes on to win the division and thumps the #1 defense steelers in a playoff game, while setting passing records in the playoffs which no other HOF QB holds.

7. Also to note Elway was in stanford shopping Luck. But when Tebow went on this winning streak it took them out of the hunt for Luck. So he brings in PM.

8. Tebow gets traded away to the Jets, so thats 3 different coaches in 3 years. If you think that is a fair shake then your all liars.

7. He gets picked up by the Patriots to see if he can beat out Mallet for the backup spot. So that now makes 4 different coaches and offensives he has to learn and new receivers. 

8. If you even get looked at by the Patriots you still better then half the league imho.

Some quick Tebow vs. Vick stats from their respective 2011 regular seasons:

W/L - Tebow (7-4) vick (7-6)

Playoff wins - Tebow 1 Vick 0

Completion % - Tebow 46.5 % Vick 59.8%

Passing attempts: Tebow 271 Vick 423

% of total passes thrown that were directed towards a WR - Tebow 72% Vick 58%

I use this last stat because it is a very telling one when determining overall completion percentage. Most QB's pad their completions by throwing to their RB's and TE's - as longer throws result in lower odds of completion. Tebow, in 2011, only attempted 30 passes to his TE's and 45 to his RB's. Vick in contrast attempted 95 to the TE and 59 to the RB's. Tebow's completion percentage to those two positions was 57% to 62% for Vick. I will assert that had he had the talent at those key positions he would have had a much higher completion percentage than his paltry 46.5%. Tebow also rushed for 660 yards compared to Vick's 589 yards and the TD's were nearly identical - 18 for Tebow (12pass/6rush) to 19 for Vick (18pass/1rush) - except Tebow played in two less games. While this is just one sample year - it is the only one Tebow has been afford the chance to play. In closing, I believe that Tim Tebow's worth based on statistics alone is worth a shot. His worth based on talent and intangibles makes it a no-brainer decision for the Jags.
