Tim Tebow traded to Jets...Official (After Reading Contracts)

[Mogriffjr]

When you think about it, the Sanchez/Tebow competition is a lot like the Romney/Santorum competition in the GOP primary.

Both are mediocre choices. One is a fundamentalist Christian, one is a tool. Both will probably get crushed by a black guy this fall.

:rofl:

Yoink! Thanks for the new facebook status. :yao:

Can't imagine how pissed Drew Stanton and Greg McElroy are right now.

They were not going to throw any passes this year anyway.

I love how espn is showing highlights of tebow like he is joe montana and sanchize like he is akili smith....smh.

The Broncos really are doing great this off season. I applaud their efforts. The are going to sell another record number of jerseys with manning there.

The "Tebow is a winner" stuff annoys the hell out of me.

What is he, like 9-7?

If you want to win, put Drew in.

Has Fantasy Football really taken over ?
Sanchez PO record.
4-2 record...60.5% 9td 3 int 94.3 rating

Tebow vs Pitt
10 21 47.6% 316yds 2td 0 125.6 QBR 10 att 50 yds 1 TD


Theres more than one way to win a football game in this league. Like it or not Sanchez and Tebow dont bow to big game pressure. They've put on numerous clutch performances and I would feel as comfortable with them with game on the line than I would most QBs in this league.
Jets are fuckin dumbasses for bringing in Terrible Tomlinson. They progressively fucked over there run game. Last season the offensive line was all beat up and there RBs were a pile of manure. They asked Sanchez to throw more ,he pretty much plays up to what hes always done. A few games where he didnt excel throwing 45 or 60 times all of a sudden hes terrible ? Lets forget his Oline gave him zero time and his RBs consisted of a backup and a 80yr old.

From a purely X-O standpoint Tebow is a HUGE gain for any team. Sporano Im sure has plenty in the playbook to make that redzone offense extremely interesting. On the downside Sanchez while cool under pressure is also a fragile narcissist who cant take criticism. So his progression may have permanently stopped as he'll be too busy reading papers and not playbooks.

Bottom line Jets focus should be primarily on fixing the run game. Tebow is a strange way to address it. If they dont go and land at least one runner with 1400 yard potential , and bring in 1-3 guys who can resemble pass rushers... then it really doesnt matter whos at QB.

That's coming from the Tebowmaniacs, nut-huggers like Shit Bayless. Tebow seems like a good guy, he's a great athlete, tough and a competitor, but this hero-worship is ridiculous.

mgobro - Stanton wants out.

Jets QB Drew Stanton is reportedly hoping that the team will release him after Tim Tebow's acquisition.
Stanton didn't draw any known interest from teams other than the Jets before signing a one-year, $1.25 million deal on March 16. Plenty of teams would be interested in an athletic second- or third-stringer, though. Reentering the free agent market would allow Stanton to have a say on his new club.

BTW why would Tebow "choose" such an atheistic stuck up town like NY ?

Giants fans are intolerable enough now I have to deal with clueless hipsters suddenly caring about football and god ?

 

[EmpireWF]

lol

:wtf:

 

[mgoblue2290]

mgobro - Stanton wants out.

As he should. He should go to the Dolphins or something. He honestly is not a terrible quarterback and deserves a little playing time. Plus I can't have my two favorite QBs not named Peyton Manning or Matthew Stafford on the same team.

Because he is an attention whore, he can get his 'message' out easier to the masses in NY with there media

Wrong. Comparing or measuring his completion percentage last year against traditional QB's makes no sense because he wasn't playing in a traditional offense.

For example, when the Broncos would run Tebow on first down for 4 yards, then on second down for 2 yards, followed by an incompletion on third down and a punt, that is an identical result to a traditional offense completing two short passes, going incomplete on third, and punting. Tebow is 0%, the traditional QB is 66%. Who cares?

The Broncos offense generally tried to throw the ball on 3rd & long, or to exploit an over committing defensive front. Otherwise, it was run run run. Clock control, field position, first downs. That's what mattered in the offense the Broncos were running, that's how efficiency was measured by the Broncos last year, and Tebow ran that offense very, very effectively (and the results are the proof, can not be argued).

This is why Tebow was able to have games where he would be 8 for 20 passing, yet the offense was perfectly efficient and the team won. Then all of the geeks would run to the boxscore and say 'herp derp 40% he can't play', completely ignoring the fact that Tebow himself ran for 80 yards, produced 2 total TD's, didn't turn the ball over, and led an offense that controlled the clock for 40 minutes.

That's why I say, in that scheme, 40% doesn't really matter. If Tebow was asked to run a traditional offense, yes, i'd be right with you guys, as I don't think he can do that. But who cares? HE WASN'T ASKED TO RUN A TRADITIONAL OFFENSE! As long as you let him run a spread option, the completion percentage remains irrelevant in comparison to completion percentages of QB's in traditional schemes. This is why I can not take the completion percentage criticism seriously, without the context of how the offense was designed to operate.

Of course you would prefer him to be in the 60% range. If he was able to that, he'd be pretty much unstoppable and Manning would be playing for the Titans. There is so little room for error in his play style, that he's probably best suited as a backup. But to say he didn't play well because of some nonsense like completion percentage, is just lazy analysis and not understanding how the stat correlates to efficiency in the scheme he was running.

While your theory sounds good, it's simply not true.

The Broncos ranked 21st in TOP and 23rd in yards per game offensively.

They were also -12 in turnover ratio.

25th in PPG.

Obviously, these stats consider all 16 games and don't exclude the first 5 which Tebow didn't play in so I do wonder if they'd change significantly after he took over but I highly doubt it.

As everyone knows, they led the league in rushing, and it was all because of Tebow.

Which means that even though they were able to run the ball better than anyone else in the league, they still struggled mightily moving the ball and scoring points.

So obviously, his horrid completion percentage matters. Your main arguments point to TOP and 1st downs, the Broncos offense was below average last season, bottom 10 in pretty much every offensive category including those. That team is easily below .500 if they don't catch some huge breaks in a couple of those games.

And he's not nearly as exciting to watch as you make him out to be, unless you are the type of person thinks watching chickens running around with their heads cut off is exciting.

It's amazing to me how people completely disregard the Broncos defense's role in all those "miraculous" wins.

W2B will point to TOP and turnovers as the reasons to why the Broncos defense played better with Tebow but the fact of the matter is that their TOP and turnover ratio was never good all season. They were also in the bottom 10 in first downs.

I do want to see a breakdown of TOP, 1st downs, yardage, etc. of pre-Tebow compared and Tebow Time, though. I'll let W2B do that though since he is the one advocating that argument.

what's a "croupts" ?
