    He should have gone to Jacksonville when he had the chance, instead he wanted the hoopla of playing in NYC. Who did want him apparently. Can't blame everything on some kind of perceived anti Christian bias.

    :doh: Tebow, Vick, and Young were very similar quarterbacks who won games despite well below average completion percentages. Of the three, only Tebow has been denied an opportunity to continue playing. Teams are used to criminality. They're used to players acting like assholes. They know how to deal with those things, and thus you can continue your playing career in spite of them. Tim Tebow isn't in the NFL because of his religious beliefs. There's no way you're too blind to see that, you just want to pretend it's something else in order to excuse the bigotry. Again, Tim Tebow won football games. This is not a guy who failed. This is a guy who succeeded and then has not been allowed to continue his career.



    The football people in Jacksonville didn't want Tebow, only the owner did to sell tickets. Then the Jets didn't even give him a chance to start after Sanchez got hurt because they were scared of a situation like in Denver where he succeeded and would then supplant the guy the GM gave a massive contract extension and the coach got a tattoo of.

    Where's the rational evidence for this? Why hasn't the NFL banned the pre-game prayers that the Panthers do, and the post game prayers on the field that a majority of players participate in?

    Because it would be a great way to get the government (and those pesky vocal religious types) on their ass for discrimination?

    If you want to say Tebow isn't a starting QB, that's fine. Saying that he shouldn't even be in the NFL is preposterous.

    You do realize that Vick was hitting almost 60% when he returned. Even Young had multiple years hovering around 60%.


    Again, Tebows percentage was 46.5 in 2011.


    Please don't mention Pennington in defense again either, his career was derailed by chronic shoulder issues. The lad won comeback player of the year twice and was actually a pretty accurate passer when healthy.





    Did the Patriots not give him a chance this year, like the Packers gave Young?



    This is just stupid and completely ignores Tims ability as a passer.



    The football people in Jax passed on Tebow because even they realized he was a worse passer than Blaine Gabbert.


    Stop with the conspiracies against Tebow, he's a horrible passer, horrible.
    You act like the Jets never saw him attempt a pass at practice.


    My god, they even went and drafted Smith while still paying Sanchez, it wasn't about money, it was about Tebow being able to execute the passing game.

    Being a good or bad "passer" and a good or bad quarterback are two entirely separate things. I can hit a golf ball 300 yards. That doesn't make me a PGA Tour golfer.


    The completion percentage thing is what anti-Tebow folks go to when they don't want to admit their own bias towards him.
