The Tebow Analysis You've All Been Waiting For

                           
Yesterdays performance by Tim Tebow didn't leave me, or anybody else objectively judging his Quarterback play, with a better opinion of him than we already had.  Tim Tebow is still a piss poor QB.  Sorry guys, he just is.  However, he is a winner( I have always said this).  I will not deny his will to win or his work ethic because it is second to no one's.  He still cant hit an open receiver on a deep crossing route or thread the needle in tight zone coverage.  Yesterday he was 10 for 21 for 124 yards passing 2 TD's. Those are great stats right? Not if you are Tom Brady, not if you are Phillip Rivers, not even if you are Cam Newton, Andy Dalton,  Christian Ponder etc.
I'm guessing your response is one of the two: "You can't compare him to Tom Brady, they aren't even in the same category"; or "He had 2 TD passes and he ran for over 100 yards".  In response to your first imaginary remark, yes you can and you absolutely must.  They are in the same category, NFL quarterbacks.  Therefore, they are held to the same standard.  There shouldn't be special exceptions for guys because they aren't as good as everybody else at their job.  That doesn't work in any other professional environment so why is the NFL different? Its not.
Secondly, he rushed for over 100 yards...so what.  I have never heard QB's be judged by their ability to run the read zone play.  They are judged by their ability to read a defense, deliver a great pass, step up in the pocket and be a great QB. Not a RB who can throw an occasional okay pass, because thats what Tebow is.  Thnk of it this way: If I started working at Starbucks and my job is to answer phones and sweep floors and I suck at answering phones and sweeping floors BUT I can clean the shit out of a bathroom. However, Starbucks already pasy somebody to clean the bathrooms.  Whats my value?

Food for thought.

  1. It true.. I love the guys character but if he can't step it up. He is just going to have to go. Everyone always wants to root for the underdog, but you know what. Sometimes the underdog loses. Sorry fokes. Tebow,the modern day Rudy, is a good guy but right now its almost about time to face the facts.
