NFL Week 8

[Carolina Speed]

The Broncos do not want to win with Tebow, period. It is a conspiracy at least between the head coach and front office. Most likely the league is involved as well. ESPN is the propoganda arm of the NFL and they have clearly participated in sabotaging Tebow since he left Florida.

The Broncos want to lose with Tebow. Someone can debate whether the play calling and offensive schemes are intentionally playing away from Tebow's strength (although it is.) The one irrefutable piece of evidence, so absurd it cannot be explained, is the Brandon Lloyd trade. Six days after Tebow is announced as a starter, they trade Lloyd for a 6th round pick. He was coming off a 77 catch 1448 yard and 11 td season. It wasn't a cap move because his salary was a modest 2.05 million. A 6th round pick. There are only seven rounds in the damn draft. The goal was to throw away the season and blame Tebow so they can get rid of him and shut up the fans. It's disgusting.

Additionally, the continuous media scrutiny of Tebow is unparalleled in the history of sports. Every columnist and pundit in America weighs in on Tebow's every move. During preseason, Jim Rome had a Tebow segment every day, repeating the same mantra that Tebow is not an NFL quarterback. Every sports columnist in America has written a Tebow article, mostly stating that he can't play. There is no way that the constant criticism of his release and accuracy has not gotten in Tebow's head. Just like with a pitcher or infielder, throwing accuracy can be a mental issue.


Fortunately for Tim, he will have a successful life with or without the NFL. They can ruin his football career, but they will not destroy him as a man.

I disagree. I think Tim Tebow is mentally stronger than you give him credit for. He had no chance Sunday against Detroit, once the TD pass he threw to Decker was called back, the inept coaching staff put Tebow under center on 1st and 2nd downs with no running game and no offensive line, Detroit's d-line gambled and teed off on him.

If he starts Sunday, I believe it's against the Raiders, he will find a way to play better, despite all the odds stacked against him!

If I'm wrong, I will publicly state this on CF!

I've found, personally, that the more educated a person is, the more likely they'll be open to frank and honest discussion about racial discrimination in sports.

Regardless of the position, if any, that they eventually take, they'll at least hear you out and be willing to debate.

Often times, I've been gladdened to see that people with whom I've discussed the caste system agree that Whites are unfairly discriminated against, especially when discussing why big, bruising alpha males like Peyton Hillis (and in the past, the likes of Mike Alstott) are playing second fiddle to Blacks who are clearly inferior athletically.

However...

When talking to Blacks of any socioeconomic standing or the sort of White trash who paint their faces with makeup to go to games, it's just talking to the wind.

They're absolute, mindless drones.

Gulp gulp, munch munch, cheer, hurray, blah blah, bread and circuses, durrrrr.....

 

[Don Wassall]

The "electric" Dexter McCluster's longest play this season, whether receiving or rushing, is 24 yards. And this with him getting lots of playing time with Jamaal Charles out for the season. The little guy has exactly one career TD so far in two NFL seasons. But his "upside" is limitless.

 

[Leonardfan]

Weddle with an INT.

Regarding Tebow - I believe Buffalo was interested in drafting him last year at the top of the second. I think Gailey would have been able to be creative offensively to play to Tebow's strengths. I am hoping the Broncos cut him after this season, they want nothing to do with him. I believe quite a few teams would be interested in signing him.

 

[seattlefan]

Announcers really laying into McGraw.

 

[backrow]

The Chargers cutting Bryan Walters was yet another hate crime. This kid showed more potential than any receiver on their roster, including the perpetually underachieving Vincent Jackson. Incredible, but considering the coach is Norv Turner, not really suprising.

I heard Eric Mangini give a very fair analysis of Tim Tebow today on "First Take." Other than Skip Bayless, he's the only person on TV I've seen defend Tebow whatsover. Watching him, it really makes me hope that somehow he gets another chance to be a head coach. He's so much more reasonable sounding than the other idiots on ESPN, so I can imagine him being as close to fair as any coach could be in the present day NFL.

Lynch defended him yesterday during a broadcast

Weddle with 2 interceptions, LaBoy with a sack

Love looking at the stats section of NFL.com and seeing Angerer, Allen and Weddle at the head of the Tackling, Sacks and Interceptions lists. If Welker was still led in receiving yards whites would lead in 5 of the 6 most important stats, Rushing yards being the only black held category.

For anyone who thinks this season is already shot, please recognize that even last year what I mentioned above would never have happened. More white stars are coming into their own and more are getting drafted every year.

The whole Tebow thing reminds me of how Rich Gannon was treated in Minnesota. Gannon was an athletic young white QB who had instant success, but he wasn't in Denny Green's plans. Green wanted a brutha at QB. The play calling became horrendous. Gannon almost never threw on first down and seldom on second. Soon the fans started blaming Gannon for the teams inept offense. The same lines we hear about Tebow were said about Gannon - inaccurate, can't throw, complaints about his throwing motion, doesn't know what he is doing, and my favorite; "he's got happy feet." After being replaced by future blow-hard talking head Sean Salibury, Gannon mired in the league for 5 years as a back-up for various teams. I think he even was out of football for one full season. And then Oakland gave him a chance to start. He ended breaking the single season yardage passing record and becoming the league MVP. He also completed 68% of his passes. All this from a guy the "experts" all said couldn't pass.

 

[Kaptain]

I just found that Tebow also had a 22 yard TD pass to Decker that was called out of bounds. The pass was perfect and replay showed that Decker had both feet in. I must have been in the bathroom.

[bigunreal]

Just listened to the despicable "Mike and Mike" again angrily declaring that Tebow "can't play QB in the NFL." This is really unprecedented stuff- never have I seen any high profile athlete criticized so intensely and so uniformly by nearly every person in the media.

Frankly, it would be astonishing now to see Tebow succeed enough to quiet his critics. Merrill Hoge and co. have obviously done a great job on destroying his confidence. It's hard for anyone to do their job well when everyone is doubting them. The pressure he feels must be enormous. It would be wonderful to see Tebow shut them up, but I just can't imagine that happening in Don King's America. I don't think Hoge, Esiason, Chris Carter (btw, now the most arrogant, loathsome black "journalist" I've ever seen) will ever eat their words and admit they're wrong, even if Tebow defied all odds and shattered every NFL passing record on the books.

I don't even have Tebow in any fantasy leagues, but I am rooting for him like I've rooted for no other athlete in a long, long time. Wouldn't we all love to see these diabolical jock sniffers have to report on Tebow's undeniably excellent play?

 

[Westside]

I was stuck in the office last night. I purposely put ESPN on to hear the casteknuckle heads savage Tebow and alot with glee. I have never watched that amount of ESPN (approx 6 hours) since the late 80s

During Jaduffus Russell's epic "purple drank" laced downfall, has any CFer remember him be savaged like Tebow on ESPN??

If anyone honestly can remember this kind of treatment, please advise. Russell, the all time NFL bust had 3 years to Un F himself. Tebow will get the rest of the season tops. Yeah, DWFs no agenda here.

Yeah, but Sean Lee might be out for the season with a dislocated wrist. :cry:

 

[whiteathlete33]

Yeah, but Sean Lee might be out for the season with a dislocated wrist. :cry:

Yes, unfortunately Welker has fallen behind Steve Smith due to a couple of poor games. I hope he rebounds this week and has a monster game. Also Ware may be able to pass Jared Allen up this week due to the fact that Allen has a bye and Ware already had his.

Al Davis gave Rich Gannon a chance.

 

[Deadlift]

In a year where White QBs have declined, Matt Stafford has certainly been a bright spot!

After Monday Night's debacle, this is now officially confirmed. "Elite QBs" have disappeared, seemingly overnight.

I imagine that somebody might try bringing up Eli against the Dolphins' as a great positive -- but that would be a stretch IMO. The Giants' only managed 20 points, and just snuck by a winless team.

If Eli goes into Foxboro this week and wins, then, ok, that would be something to talk about.

 

[wile]

Belichick and Brady are brittle minded IMO. After watching last year's playoff game against the Jets I was dumbfounded by the poor play by the offense and Brady's seemingly dogged determination to think he still had one route Randy going deep. How many times did you see Danny as the outlet dragging across the middle with serious yards between him and a defender?

Did Blechick play vanilla against the certain playoff opponent so as to not show the looks he will unveil in the loser go home sitiuation? I don't think so I think it is comparable to about the 1987 and thereabouts Celtics, great players but the same ol same ol.

A betting man will wait till the playoffs when NE is giving some serious points.
