I have the same response with what Tebow and the Broncos are doing. It's freaking hilarious, people get so worked up about it. Around 3 pm or 6 pm every sunday they cut away from the game you are watching because it's Tebow Time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In all seriousness, I cant believe some people started posting stats. Tebow is fun to watch and what the broncos are doing is hilarious and awesome. But no I dont think he is a top 20 qb in the NFL.

Tebow by himself is not an NFL quarterback. But Tebow combined with God is a top five NFL qb.

I was impressed when God endorsed Tebow, but Kemba, too? That's huge.

That's good enough for me.
 
His completions would be more if his wrs weren't averaging 5 drops a game. Plus he throws to people that are like 5'7. But on that note, obviously he isnt a top 10 qb. I just don't think he's a scrub.

And on the other hand, his completions would be less if he wasn't playing such an easy schedule of teams. He's better than Orton right now, I just don't believe he is a viable QB option long term. I think better teams will severely expose him.
 
Who cares where Tebow ranks as a QB in the league. All he is doing is WINNING. Tim Tebow is a winner and thats all the matters.

I hate to bring in another stat, but Tebow was 15/20 for 163 yards in the 4th quarter. It's impressive. He may not be the best quarterback, but in the end he gets what he needs to get done; a win.
 
Well that stat is tempered somewhat by the fact that Chicago went into a prevent on the last two possessions, and Tebow was just completing dinks and doinks to uncovered running backs the whole way down the field. He did make two throws that were key when Chicago was trying to play defense - the TD before the two-minute warning (Chicago just takes a knee if that TD is after the two-minute warning and they get the onsides kick), and the 15-yard pass to the sideline to set up the 59-yarder. Both receivers were completely uncovered, but he had to make the reads. I also wanted to see a replay to see if he stepped over the line of scrimmage on the TD - it was close enough I thought they should have reviewed it, but I imagine we would have heard something about it by now from Bears fans if he went over.
 
Bitter huh. he is a leader and has poise. He wins games and in the end that is all that matters.

He sucks.

First of all who have they beaten?

The only good team they have played is Detroit and they lost 45-10.

The reason they are winning is their D has stepped up big time.

Their games are so ugly that they make my ex wife look attractive.

Leave your politics out of this.

The man knows how to win. How we don't know, but to hate him for it is ridiculous

My sarcasm meter was clearly broken.

Also, as this demonstrates once again, I am an idiot.

You can't tell Denver fans they aren't in first place.

Sure, I think Tebow is the next best thing to Tony Romo. Tony's 47-31 in starts. Romo's in the playoffs 3 years out of 5. Never past the second round.

Tebow's in the right division. He can take 9-7 teams to the playoffs every other year.

Rodgers maybe playing slightly better but Tebow is the clear number two.

1.Rodgers
2.Tebow
3.Brees
4.Brady

Think he's screwing with everyone........least I hope so. By the way Eli should be in that mix, maybe ahead of Brady. Tebow is awful early and his defense keeps him in it and he finds a way to be special when he needs to. Nothing more nothing less. Give him his due, it probably won't last but for now it's fun to watch week in-week out.
 
It's amazing. The kid plays 50 bad minutes and 10 good ones every game. Somehow, Denver manages to stay in these games with their defense, ground game, and yes, the fact that the teams they are playing aren't that good. Still, it's a nice story and the Denver fans get to enjoy a nice season. It is a lot like a few years ago when the Dolphins were running the wildcat and winning games down here. It was fun, but it had a limited shelf life, and I think this will end up the same way.

I don't see how you can hate Tim Tebow. If you don't want to buy into the hype, fine. But to hate him? Tebow haters are just threatened by him.

Tebow haters are threatened by religion. Not Tebow. He's about as unthreatening as they come.

When people start talking about "God" and "miracles" and guys on the field are on their knees in prayer, and putting their hands together . . .

. . . then folks start to get uncomfortable. And they react by attacking Tebow, as the icon of the notion that, somehow, some way . . .

God has chosen to act through a man playing a child's game. In Denver.
 
Here's how we know Tebow isn't good: if Brady or Brees or Rogers etc. were making all these 4th quarter comebacks no one would consider them miracles or have to be convinced to be "believers." It would be explained as great qb's making great plays to lead the team to victory. With Tebow, they're considered miracles because he isn't supposed to do this stuff because he's not good.

That said, I'm a converted Tebowliever. Something HAS to be going on. Divine intervention or something... How else to explain a qb this awful making so many comebacks?
 
Many Redskins fans will remember the Heath Schuler/Gus Ferotte debate.

By almost every measure, Schuler was a better QB than Ferotte....except for one.

The team seemed to play better for Ferotte than they did for Schuler.

I guess that something similar is happening at Denver.

Tebow may not be putting up the numbers people would like to see, and he may not be one of the best QBs in the NFL. Heck, he might not even be one of the better QBs in the NFL.

But Denver seems to play well for him. And those Ws count for something.

I'm not too sure about TT, but given how many clutch plays Kemba made and how the lid was on the basket for opposing team when it came time for them to make a winning shot at the end of games, I have to wonder if there was something going on for KW and JC. Luck, coincidence or divine intervention, doesn't matter. The season was special.

I gather something similar is going on in Denver.
 
Touchdown Jesus makes sense - since he is only good for about one touchdown a week.

The patriots defense is awful. I'm not a broncos fan or a Pats fan. I'm assuming a lot of people might be pats fans here. Not talking ****, but just my opinion. Pats don't play well in denver and I just think it will be a good game. Broncos D is pretty athletic that could put pressure on Tom, so thats why I think it will be interesting.

I am a Pats fan, and this D is as bad as I can remember this team having.

Players have been praying on the football field for as long as I can remember. No one has said anything about it. What is annoying is people like you who are using Tebow to make the case God is working through him.

Tebow had nothing to do with the win yesterday. It was defense getting a fumble and the kicker hitting a 59 yarder to send the game to OT and hit a 51 yarder to win it. But no one mentions the kicker and the religious people who know nothing about football are blowing their loads all over Tebow.

Here's the kick in the balls man.

I am an agnostic, and I'm completely without religion in my life.

Further, I don't believe in anything paranormal at all. Not ghost, channeling, angels, miracles, dowsing - nothing.

So, I'm actually at the very far end of the spectrum on this, on the site opposite the Tebow Miracle side.

You sir, however, have just proved my point well. We are a very anti-religious country. You are so unhappy about these religious folks claiming miracles through Tebow that you give me both barrels to tell me how stupid I am for being religious.

And I'm not even religious!!!

Making a case against extremism with extremism? Is Tebow the only reason Denver is winning? Of course not. Does he have nothing to do with it? Of course not.

What allows defenses and special teams to win football games? Managing possessions:

Top Five NFL Starter Total Touchdown to Turnover Ratio, 2011:​
  1. Aaron Rodgers — 9.0
  2. Tebow — 5.5
  3. Drew Brees — 2.46
  4. Brady — 2.333
  5. Tony Romo — 2.1
  6. Matthew Stafford — 2.0
  7. Matt Ryan — 1.538
  8. Eli Manning — 1.528
  9. Sanchez — 1.313
  10. Fitzpatrick — 1.26

I'm puzzled by the people who listen to Tebow's faith and feel its an indictment on their rights and beliefs.
I'm puzzled by the people who want to attribute all of Denver's success to him and him alone.
I'm puzzled by those that want to rob him completely of it like any QB would be winning with this team right now.

The polarization of the Tim Tebow camps is a case study in sociology if I've ever seen one.

Reasons Denver won yesterday:

Barber not going out of bounds, Prater hitting 59 yard FG, Barber fumbling when Chicago was in position to kick FG and Prater hitting 51 yarder for the win.

Wow Tebow completed some passes when Chicago switched defenses.

Yeah, OK. I never attacked their religion, I did their football knowledge. Like I said, there has been praying in football forever. (Prayer circles, prayers after games, prayers when a player goes down with injury, etc..) No one cares or mentions it.

Christians, boy are they persecuted.
