Quote:I wanted to go back and look at some of Tebows stats to compare him to our current QBs.  I knew he was bad, but I had no idea how bad.  In his only real year as a starter in 2011 he averaged 19 attempts per game with 9 completions.  9.  His QB rating for that year was 72.9, creditable but is mostly based on his 660 yards rushing that year.  His completion percentage was 46.5%.  The amazing thing is people still think he can be an NFL QB.  I just have to shake my head.

Most of his good numbers came in the 4th quarter in the last 5 minutes of games after they go into prevent "bend but not break" defenses.  He actually thrives in that.  Makes his overall numbers look like he had a lot better day than he typically had.  Examine the stats for the first 3 1/2 quarters, his completion percentage is down in the 30s.  His scoring is putrid.  The Bronco offense led the league in three and outs that year.  Those kind of numbers got JaMarcus fired and cut even when he was leeching a huge chunk of Oakland's payroll.

 

Just don't see why people think Tebow is any kind of a solution at QB for this team.  Or ANY team's ills.  Next year he will be going into his fifth season.  I think most GMS if not all already has a pretty good idea on his skillset.  THAT is what is sinking his career, no matter how much his fans try to paint this as a case of politics and too much media attention being the root cause.  Think anyone would care about any of that if they thought Tebow was actually good enough to back up even half of the hype?
