David….Good points. Lefty’s always looked strange to me in sports (except baseball). I can’t see how Phil Mickelson can golf the wrong way.

The problem with Tebow is that he is left handed..The whole offense is filled with players that grew up playing right handed football..So the ball not only looks funny, it is spinning the wrong way..Also the offense is set up for right handed quarterbacks..hard to retrain the other 10 guys…Oh and the accuracy thing is a big issue…Sorry..he seems like a great person..

Truth is – Patton did no better than Tim Tebow – both got them into a play off game – difference is Patton Manning is looking at a short run in Denver – Tim could have been the franchise player for the next 10 years – short sighted on the owner and the coaches – Denver Broncos will be looking for another QB within three years – starting over again.

It’s a game, yet you people are the ones responsible for the hero worship and multi-million dollar salaries these people receive. Many players are in trouble with the law, yet some hold these athletes up as examples for our children. Tebow is one of the good examples, regardless of his religious beliefs.

Tebow haters will always be Tebow haters. Some morons really do hate him because he is a Christian too. He did great things for the Broncos AND for Broncos fans. He got us further than Manning did. He brought out the very best in every member of the team when he played here. THAT is a leader. And not many teams have one that could hold a candle to Tebow. Given more of a chance, he could have turned out to be a great quarterback. Elway was a moron for getting rid of him, and I have honestly always been a huge fan of Elway, but the truth has to be admitted. In a corrupted and nasty NFL, there is no doubt that a good man like Tim Tebow would never have a chance.

Tim Tebow’s record speaks for itself.

I wish people would stop comparing stats. Tebow is a work in progress. He started how many games? The Broncos went for Peyton so who blames them? They traded him because he deserved a chance somewhere. He never got it with the Jets. He may never get it. For some reason he does not practice well. He may need a good QB’s coach. Perhaps he will get there or perhaps he goes to the CFL. But he deserves a shot. We are debating based on a very thin record yet he was a winner. But sitting him or dumping him is not the way to tell if he can develop or not. His critics may be right. His supporters may be right. But right now the jury’s out.

“…his left arm does not appear NFL ready. That’s not just my view. That’s the view of every general manager and coach in the NFL.”

Really, did you survey them each one and did they appoint you their spokesperson? What over reaching and broad generalizations which you cannot support.

“(Tebow) brings his talent for the position and his athleticism to the position. There are lots of ways to be creative as an offense when you have Tim Tebow as your QB. I think he continues to grow, he is a young QB, a work in progress… his competiveness, his great desire to win and his willingness to do anything to help his team win…” (49ers’ coach Jim Harbaugh).

“Personal stats have no relevance in a team sport.”

I’ll alert the NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA about this; they’ll be relieved to know that they can fire all their statisticians who track these things. The NFL can also cancel the upcoming combine for draft prospects, since all those personal abilities like how fast they can run and how high they can jump have no bearing on their usefulness to the team. The GMs can find out all they need to know just by looking at the players’ respective team’s win-loss record.

Oooh, but the players who have incentives in their contracts based on their personal performance aren’t going to be very happy with you….

This is where personal stats start having more relevance? Really? Personal stats have no relevance in a team sport. Manning can have a great passer rating when the line doesn’t block and he is sacked. His stats are greatly affected by the lines ability to block and the receivers who have to catch the ball. Dan Marino was a great player because he led his team to do things to make him better. We are done here because you’re a person who believes that team sports are made by a bunch of individual. I played a number of sports at a very high level but when I had great games it was because my team also had a great game. When I played great and the team didn’t no matter how great my stats were it was still a loss. Seldom had my greatness that day ended up changing a loss to a win. All great players know that and give credit to the team and not to themselves.
