which poster were you addressing then?
there are quite a few people even on ESPN that say Tebow got a raw deal in New York, including players. They were supposed to have some "secret wildcat package" that wasn't supposed to be covered, and come time for the regular season it was a joke, just putting him out there for a few snaps, last game was the first time he played an entire series. I think it got to a point, like many on espn stated, if Rex Ryan puts him in after stubbornly playing Sanchez threw so many horrible games, and Tebow lights it up, how does that make Rex Ryan look?
That offense sucked, and Im supposed to believe there wasn't any type of role for him except their lame excuses for a wildcat package? Shonn Greene is a slow plodder who has never had a longer rush than what, 30 yards? in how many attempts? can't put him at halfback?
Yes he wasn't the most accurate in 2011, but he had the highest percentage of deep passes in the last 3 years, at 21 percent, most quarterbacks are under 13, in fact 13 percent would put a qb at top 10 for deep passes attempted. Not even THE BEST qbs in the league complete 50 percent or more of these deep passes, but we expect a young player like Tebow to? when his best asset is running, although his passing wasn't as bad as the media makes it out to be. There was one thing he was really good at, unlike Newton who also throws deep a good deal, is not turning the ball over. If his receivers weren't going to catch it then nobody was.
Eric Decker still led the Broncos last year, kind of hard to do much more when there is like 10 to 20 attempts a game. I agree about the Decker/DT situation, it would be like comparing Harrison and Wayne, although both of those switched up roles more than Decker and DT, I think there should be more of a balance, DT should get better as an all around receiver.
Decker was on pace for 851 yards with Orton, he got 612 8tds, I wouldn't call that terrible considering that Tebow was attempting about 6 or 7 less passes per game at the least.
but like Ive said many times, even when he came out, Id rather him at tailback. The fact that the media has repeated that he is not an nfl caliber passer almost every single day has made me want to reevaluate his skills as a qb, and leaves me wanting to root for him more at the qb position, because his lack of time at qb sets a precedent. Any athletic, dual threat qb that is White will most likely get the Tebow reference out of college. Its happening with Colin Klein right now, and he is a much better passer than Tebow, and you can't say he is surrounded by a bunch of talented guys, he doesn't have an NFL caliber receiver from what I have seen, Harper might be but I doubt it. The other two guys are under 170 pounds, maybe they can but the one that is 5'11 is young, the other one is 5'7. Hes compared to Tebow, doesn't have "perfect mechanics", but then again its already there, because when Tebow came out it was "Dany Weurfell won a Heisman, it doesn't make you a great NFL player"...almost identical to what WDB said. Yeah it doesn't, but you should at least get a chance. How long will I have to see Mark Ingram plod around? He doesn't have that much power, isn't a burner, can't make people miss, but he won the Heisman...and hes black.
