Agreed. It may work out, it may not, but it's his best chance to get a starting gig. I also credit the Jets for deliberately putting him under center.
Before you go off the deep-end, understand that that is ONE person's opinion. Not discrediting CowboysFan, just that you asking, "is this what it's come to now?" suggests that you think that is the topic of the thread or our general consensus.
No, I hear you; and I'm not assuming that it's everyone. I don't overgeneralize Tebow supporters' sentiments. However, I'm also not naive to think that when one person says something along those lines, that he/she is the only person to think along those lines. Just because people aren't posting that kind of stuff on these boards doesn't mean that those thoughts from people are nonexistent. They're out there; you and I both know it. In fact, take a glance at the bottom of whatever thread you're in -- you'll usually see a bunch of lurkers (i.e. guests) who visit the boards without posting. My point is, the extremists on both ends of the spectrum exist in large numbers. In a 'better' realm, people don't dwell on either end; they have enough perspective and objectivity to roam somewhere in between.
Your irrelevant stats do nothing to refute his point that the fact that Mark Sanchez couldn't lead the NY Jets to even one touchdown the entire preseason isn't good, not good at all.
Sanchez leads his team to Conference Championships. I may not be a Mensa member, but I'm preeetty sure a QB leading his team to Playoff victories (victories, as in plural; as in multiple times) and Conference Championships is more important than Preseason statistics.
Thing is, Cowboyfan definitely isn't the only one to have that opinion, but, it's hardly extreme. There were quite a few well known, and well regarded people who came out and said that Tebow shouldn't overhaul his mechanics, but rather, just tweak a couple things and make it work for him. IIRC, Joe Montana was one of those guys, and he does happen to know a little something about playing QB. Not that I agree with him on everything, but it illustrates the point that there are differences of opinion on the issue.
You are putting words in my mouth man, I said Tebow sucked donkey balls, that was not clear enough for you? and it is a fact not an excuse that he was better throwing the ball before the endless tweaks to his motion.
I don't know for sure if that is what is making his comp % lower than college, or why he seems less able to make the pinpoint passes sometimes, but it is plausible. Whether or not it's true, I agree that he should have just kept his mechanics the same. In college he was deadly accurate. He's missing throws that he used to make with his eyes closed. I never watched him at UF and wondered if he would struggle passing in a game. Never.
Backup that's your problem you watch college football not professional football. There is a huge difference especially in the passing game he struggles not because he is less accurate than in college but because the passes need to be thrown in a tighter window and on time. There is much less room for error, in college you miss a throw it can still very well be a completion in the the pros that same pass could be a pick. Couple that with Urban Meyer if the player is not wide open run mentality Tebow is where he is today. I would have ate crow if I was wrong about Tebow I thought Cam was just as bad but he proved he can throw. I still think he struggles with accuracy and maybe have been anointed a little to quickly. But Cam is already hurt his running days are numbered. Tebow could not make that transition why mostly because of mechanics you can't be an accurate thrower with bad mechanics and foot work. Tebows coaches never felt they had to change that now he is who he is.
I typically only watch UF college football games. I've watched about 7-8 NFL football games every week for the past 6 years due to fantasy football. Before that I was much more of a casual watcher.
I'M BACK BABY!!!! But yeah I realized that Tebow plays preseason like he does practice. Not up to his potential. It seems he only plays up to snuff when the games count in the regular season.
:rofl2: Thanks man. I learned how this site goes now. Is it me or does Tim look right in a Jets uniform? Don't think Denver was the fit for him. Seems like this might be the place where he makes his transformation. I'm excited.
LOL. You won't agree? I am disappoint. But they're probably all sleep, they got jobs remember? I do too. I'm going to bed very soon actually. Catch you on the flip side brother. :breakdance:
Its so true its synonymous with holocaust deniers. I'm not trying to start another MURDR fuck fest right now. Its the only metaphor I can think of. Sent from my VS840 4G using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
Good to know. I'm bookmarking your post so I can quote you and re-post it any time someone praises Tebow for his win streak or how "he turned around a terrible Denver team and led them to the Playoffs." If Sanchez's accomplishments are worthless, then so are Tebow's.
Haha. Go back and re-read what you responded to and defend. It was perfectly relevant. Incorrect information was presented about Sanchez being the first in 35 years not to score a preseason TD and it was refuted by showing 3 guys that didn't throw a preseason TD last year. :rofl2: This whole section of the blog is insane.
