In the mind of McD, Tebow was going to be the long term answer, and Orton the fill in? Did he even know what he was thinking at the time or was he just hooked on a feeling?

Either way it meant Cutler, who was somewhat highly regarded for his skills (not attitude) was out, and Tebow was to be the new face of the franchise eventually.

So in order to satisfy our daily quota of Tebow topics, I thought I'd make this one a poll.

Comments below if the mood strikes you.

Not really a big fan of either. If you combined them into one super QB.....

ETA: Voted Cutler

Cutler AINEC. I don't think he's a great QB, but he's at least serviceable and capable of taking a team to the playoffs. Tebow will be lucky to reach that level.

From a revenue standpoint... Do you think Tebow would sell a lot more Jerseys and bobble heads? And have you factored this into your decision?
 
I don't care for either one, but one is a complete knucklehead and the other is a good kid. I will take the good kid because at least for the time he is on the team and/or starting he will not be an attitude or distraction issue.

College glory doesn't ensure sustained fanfare in the NFL. No one will be buying Tebow jerseys 2-3 years from now if he turns out like Joey Harrington or even Vince Young.
 
For FF purposes, I like Tebow. I'm not sure why more people aren't sky-high on him after what he showed. He proved he can get it done in this league, and like I've said before, he was just a raw rookie. He'll get a LOT better. He'll improve on every aspect of his game with time, especially reading Ds.

QBs like Vick, Tebow, Newton, etc., have a built in advantage in FF because of their athleticism. It remains to be seen what Newton can do, but from what we've seen, Tebow should've erased all doubts in regards to his arm. He's also smart & we know he's got the work ethic. Not much not to like.

I believe Tebow is going to eventually be one of the best FF QBs in the NFL. That said, I don't expect him to keep up his PPG pace in 2011 from the 3 games this season, but give him 2 or 3 years & look out. Demaryius Thomas should be ready for prime time by then, as well. Tebow is one helluva FF prospect, IMO.

EDIT: I didn't mean to hijack talking about FF, but I misunderstood the question. I would still take Tebow, though. Give him another 2 or 3 years & this vote may not be close (with Tebow running away with it).

Cutler runs scared; Tebow runs tough. I want a tough leader for my team. Cutler just sheds fear and whining. Cutler is an ok NFL QB. Tebow may not become one; but, he has a much higher ceiling. I think we have seen the best that Cutler has and it is average.

I tend to disagree slightly. When Cutler has good games, he's really good. But he has so many average/below average games. He's like a glorified Eli.
 
Sorry to stray from the question posed, but in watching that Yebow draft special it seems that Denver was the only team really interested in him. If they (McDaniel) hadn't been so into him, how far was he going to fall?

I agree. I'd rather lose with a nice guy than win with a jerk.
 
I'd want more time to think it over (and watch film, interview people who know them, etc.).

But if I had to pick right now . . . I think both of them have the physical skills to succeed in the NFL, but I like Tebow's leadership and attitude better. I voted Tebow. (Cutler played better this season than I expected him to, though, and I may not yet have shed my tendency to underrate him.)

I'll take the one who isn't likely to pout his way out of town if things aren't going his way. Pretty easy decision, really.

Jacksonville was playing coy, but they would have nabbed him in the second (I believe they picked around 2.10-2.13)...They have never been enamoured with Garrard as the QB and to have "Jesus" actually living and working in Bethlehem...too much to pass up.
 
Tebow will sell more tickets and more jerseys over the next 2-3 years. Easy choice as an exec. As a head coach...I woulda voted for Cutler, but not without at least a little thought...Cutler has flaws and I do like what TT brings to the table.

We don't know how Tebow would have handled his coach trying to replace him coming off a season where he led the league's second best offense.

fixed for you. As soon as yards gained count on the scoreboard (instead of points), I'll concede that cutler has led an above average offense.In terms of scoring, no cutler-led-team has ever finished better than 16th.

 
Obviously not with the same level of athleticism, but he reminds me of Vick when he first started in Atlanta. All the routine plays (throwing a simple out route, slant or dump off) look difficult for him, but when he just "plays" with that street ball mentality to make a play, the game slows down for him and good things happen most of the time. The SD game was rough for Tebow for a majority of it, but in comeback mode and a few flashes, you can see the talent to make plays is there.

 
I'll take Tebow. I like potential for greatness over proven averageness. Tebow is already the vastly superior rusher of the two and has been flashing some passing capabilities. Tebow fumbles or throws an interception at a 2.4% rate per touch. Cutler does this at a 5.3% rate.

Cutler is a QB, when when hidden by a good running game and defense wins games. Tebow carries his team on his back when they need him. I believe in the skill of the guy - he can play.

:lmao: If Cutler can take the Bears to the SB he can change my mind, but I will be really surprised if the Bears win more than one playoff game with Cutler as QB.

I think Dynastically speaking Tebow is a high upside no brainer... In redrafts... probably close. If the Bears upgrade the O-Line or pick up a decent WR this offseason, and Cutler with another year in the Martz system, he may be a bit better next year. He's just so brutally inconsistent. One game he's brilliant, then he has 2 awful ones... I think Johnny Knox is extremely over rated, as is Hester, I doubt Earl Bennett even starts if he were on other teams rosters... Aromashodu just got shoved aside. I'd take the Bronco's WR corps over the Bears... Realize when we're dealing with Tebow's stats, we have an extremely small sample set. I know he has "intangibles" but Joey Harrington used to run up the field pumping his fist after every rare TD he threw, slapping butts and being the "emotional leader." So intangibles need to be put in perspective also.

If Tebow is a bust (not saying he will be) do you think his jerseys and bobble heads will be selling like hotcakes? If the Bears continue winning and go to the playoffs each year, would that not sell jerseys and bobble heads?
 
It's amazing to me how much playing with a good defense vs a bad defense complete changes (fools) people's perception of a QB. Last year Cutler was the biggest loser in the NFL according to many on this board. Now after one year, where he himself didn't actually play that well compared to his peers, he's a "proven winner".

I like Cutler personally, but it's just funny to see.

The Bears were 4-0 this season in games in which their opponents scored 20 points or more. It's not like he only wins low-scoring games.
