It actually has. I expected the same blind Tebow loyalty that I saw with David Carr, Garrabage and Vince Young. The 'he's a winner'. 'Look at his great comebacks'...against prevent D's. Stuff like that. All the while I looked at the actual numbers, for 4 Qs, and how the wins happened. I remember the one comment someone made about 'We now know Tebow's FF floor as far as scoring. Then he laid a solid egg, bursting that bubble. The comical comparing his FF numbers to the great QB's when they had an off week. That is still a classic.Actually, FC, if you read through all your posts, this thread has gone nothing like you thought it would.
There hasn't yet been quite the blame of everyone but the QB that I saw with Carr and Young.
Here's the deal. There are a lot of people on here who simply are like this: 'look what he did today - he's going to be great', without 1. Looking at how it happened, and 2. Is it sustainable.
The 'read option' goes the way the Wildcats did. That's just the way the NFL is. For some reason it takes them longer than it should to devise the defense to counter those novelties. It's not like the West Coast O that was developed and then modified. There's not much you can do with the read option.
The one thing I do like about it is that it is the way the offense should always line up. Shotgun with the RB right next to the QB so the D has no idea if it is run or pass. The option part doesn't work in the NFL.
