1. I HATE when people think being a QB is just about throwing a football. There is so much more that goes into it.
Look at Vick. He is only in the league because of talent. He has no leadership qualities. Bad accuracy. Cant stay healthy. Not to mention his off the field issues. The only thing he has done in the league is upset the Packers in a playoff game. No one ever says he shouldnt be a starter. Why? Because he has "talent".
Blaine Gabbert is the worst starting QB in the league and never throws a ball past 5 yards 90% of the time. His pocket awareness is terrible. He is scared to get hit. His completion % is terrible. Where is the outcry for him to get benched? Oh yeah "talent"
Why did Jamarcus Russell get 10 chances to start for the Raiders even though he sucked??? Yup "talent"
Why is Joe Flacco a starter? His team has the same offensive philosophy has the Broncos. Run the ball, control the clock, protect the ball, play solid special teams and play great defensively. So why arent people crying about Flacco being a starter??? Oh yeah he is 6'6 260lbs and can throw a ball 60 yards without trying. Once a guy is labeled with having "talent" then it brainwashes everyone in thinking a player is good.
Talent is over rated!!! Look at these players
Michael Jordan
Jerry Rice
Walter Payton
Joe Montana
None of them were very "talented" but did it matter? Nope!!! They are considered the best of all time because of their determination, attitude, leadership and just the desire to win and be great. Tebow has the same passion.
Kyle Orton can throw a football better than Tebow but he is not a better QB than Tebow. END OF STORY!!!
Now to the game. I thought Tebow looked pretty good today. He wasn't great but I think he played well enough for them to have a chance to win. The penalties and fumbles were killers. The defense couldnt cover anyone. Then when you gift wrap 20 points or so for the Pats its hard to win.
