1.  Tebow is not even a competent NFL quarterback
2.  Yes he is. He has a career winning record and led the Broncos to an exciting 7-1 run and a playoff won.
3.  That was not because to him. The defense got suddenly better and the run game (but not Tebiw runs) got suddenly better.
4.  If a streak like that was actually due mostly to him, he wouldn't just be minimally competent,  he would be all pro level, elite.  You just said he was terrible.  You can't win like that with a terrible quarterback. He has to be at NFL competence level.
5.  He is terrible, I hereby double down.
6.  He was very good at some things,  but couldn't ultimately pass well enough to hold down the position.
7.  No he was not very good at anything.

Okay...let's add a few twists to the dialogue.

Tebow was good at running with the football not so good at passing the ball.  The statistics prove both.  But the overall consensus is that mobile QBs who can not function consistently or proficiently from the pocket are not good QBs (Akili Smith, Christian Ponder, Cade McNown among others).

Given this, why doesn't that conclusion apply to Tebow?  Why should a guy who can't complete 50% of his passes over the course of his career be given the benefit of the doubt when it comes to being a good QB?

At what point do his numbers and the opinions of countless GMs and head coaches over ten years (and counting considering his current tryout at TE, not QB) start to shape your opinion on Tebow's QB performance/potential?

I don't understand your point. Tebow washed out years ago. He couldn't make a roster. "Competent NFL quarterback" doesn't entitle you to a job. It makes you one af about 300 people applying for 32 jobs.

He's trying put as a TE. Why can't you just have fun and root for the guy? He's never going to QB.

It seems like people are determined for him to fail in every sense. Just enjoy it. He was and is a great athlete that might be able to help.
