Reading tweets and articles from sports writers, listening to the media on the radio, and reading the posts of many on the internet, I am floored with the lack of respect Tim Tebow gets.
I'm reading Caplan who is claiming that the only reason anyone would want him is because he'll fill seats, and that it would never be a football decision.
Am I missing something here?
Tebow took a horrible team, and led them to the 2nd round of the playoffs. He beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in overtime with an 80 yard TD strike, and threw for over 300 yards in that game. He is a bigtime threat running the ball, as he showed in leading Denver to a come from behind win over the Jets.
He is poised and clutch in the 4th quarter.
He had a 2-1 TD to INT ratio.
Look, I recognize that he throws the ball poorly at times. But just as the media never stopped singing his praises during the season, they are unfairly trashing him this off-season.
All of a sudden, he has become a novelty QB, a guy who can't throw, and a guy who might go somewhere and run the wildcat.
He has one thing to do that will solidify him as a starting QB: Raise his completion percentage to around 55-60 percent.
Michael Vick's completion percentage was horrible for YEARS. He actually had a 52.6 percentage in 2006.
Why is Tebow not getting the benefit of the doubt? It's as if people think he cannot improve???
If I were the Browns, the Dolphins, the Jags, or any team that needed a QB, I'd sign this guy in less than a second.
You won't find a QB that tries harder, and his professional resume at this point is awesome. The only thing he doesn't have is the percentage. Also, anyone that actually watched the Broncos games last year has to acknowledge that the coaching staff's playcalling was horrible. They basically put him in third and long passing situations for the first three quarters. Defenses ALWAYS knew he was going to throw.
The media is a joke, and it really frustrates me to watch Tebow revert back to a novelty, a gimmick and a joke in the eyes of the football world today.
I can't wait until he lands a spot, and turns a franchise around.
