Tim Tebow's First NFL Start

[citizenerased]

Tim Tebow was the Broncos offense yesterday. He didn't get help from the runningbacks, that's for sure. Despite putrid play calling he put up some nice numbers. Tell me which one of these QBs had a better first game then Tim Tebow?

 

Tim Tebow: Completed 8/16 for 138 yards yards with 1 TD and 0 interceptions, rushed for 78 yards and 1 TD, QB rating 100.5.

Peyton Manning: Completed 21/37 for 302 yards with 1 TD and 3 interceptions, QB rating 58.6

Tom Brady: Completed 13/23 for 168 yards vs. the Colts 2001

John Elway: Completed 9/21 for 106 yards with 0 TD's and rushed for 2 yards

Dan Marino: Completed 19/29 for 322 yards with 2 TD's vs Buffalo Bills 1983.

Drew Brees: Completed 15/19 for 160 yards with 2 TD's and 0 interceptions.

Philip Rivers: Completed 8/11 for 108 yards.

Ben Roethlisberger: Completed 17/25 for 174 yards, 1 TD and 0 interceptions.

Michael Vick: Completed 12/18 for 186 yards, 0 TD and 0 interceptions, rushed for 18 yards vs Chicago Bears October 7, 2001.

Aaron Rodgers: Completed 18/22 for 178 yards, 1 TD and 0 interceptions.

Matt Ryan: Completed 9/13 for 161 yards, 1 TD and 0 interceptions.

Sam Bradford: Completed 32/55 for 253 yards with 1 TD and 3 interceptions, QB rating 53.1

Jay Cutler: Completed 10/21 for 143 with 2 TD's and 2 interceptions.

Kyle Orton: 15/21 for 141 yards 0 TD's, 1 interception and 2 fumbles.

.

Time for Round Two...

Guess which QB's put up these stats up in their first starts :

QB A : 23/31 224 Yards 1 TD 1 INT

QB B : 20/31 225 Yards 2 TD

QB C : 22/35 253 Yards 2 TD 1 INT

QB D : 19/30 310 Yards 3 TD 1 INT

QB E : 21/37 276 Yards 1 TD 1 INT

 

QB A = JaMarcus Russell

QB B = Bruce Gradkowski

QB C = Matt Lienart (Against the best Pass D in the NFL that year)

QB D = Ryan Fitzpatrick

QB E = Derek Anderson

What a pointless post.

You need to re-read my posts. I'm not calling time the second coming of anythin, just that he played beyond my expectations for a team that other than him had clearly mailed it in. You're slobbering all over a Jason Campbell performance you didn't even see moreso than I am Tebow and I watched every play...

Again... I'll wait until someone else who actually watched the game weigh in before I can really consider what you're saying. The fact that you think the Raiders won that game because of Jason Campbell and not in spite of him tells me you not only didn't watch the game but you probably didn't even watch the highlights.

So say what you will about your "silver and black cock" but at least GS and I are sticking by our shitty team. You jumped ship on your mediocre team a month ago.

I never said the Raiders won because of Jason Campbell. In fact, I'm basically agreeing with you in that the Raiders won despite Jason Campbell but Campbell still had a better game than Tebow.

Guy ran a draw play on 3rd and 24 for a TD and didn't turn the ball over so you guys think he played great. I'll say he played ok. He doesn't deserve a thread 4 pages long about this performance though, that's for damn sure. But of course, you and goblin are the two biggest idiot homers on the site and can't shut your mouths about the Broncos even when they are one of the worst teams in the league.

I've been a Raiders fan forever. Unlike you, I don't feel the need to make threads about every time Darren McFadden takes a dump or updates his twitter when the Raiders are below .500 and at the bottom of the AFC West cuz I realize that would be annoying and pathetic.

I don't agree....but it made me LOL still.

He has played 1 game. I'm done talking about him.

 

[FirstTimer]

Against a marginal team(Sorry Tailback) in the second worst divison in football.

 

[Bear Pand]

Okay but if his game was so impressive why are we talking about dropped TDs and should haves?

Every QB has TDs get dropped, also every QB has INTs and TDs that aren't really their "fault." If Tebow had a good game then there's no need to try and prop his numbers up with dropped TDs.

Tebow didn't go out and play awful like a lot of people (me included) thought he would, but he also didn't have some amazing performance like other people are trying to make it out to be. Let the guy play more games, and games that actually mean something, before we start the hype train.

As soon as Kyle Orton comes back, Tebow won't play for a while, so it doesn't really matter how well he played.

Exactly. I was trolling glen and goblin earlier about how much Tebow sucked and they obviously fell for it but I feel the same way as you.

Same goes for Jimmy Clausen. Glen thinks he is rubbing it in my face that I said Clausen will be a good NFL QB someday before the season and he has looked pretty bad this season but it doesn't mean shit. It's just their first season. Whether they do ok or suck doesn't matter.

Being a good NFL QB is all about consistency. Nothing else really matters.

On Inside the NFL this week:

Greg Gumbel: "Did Tim Tebow convince you on Sunday that he should be the starting Quarterback in Denver from now on?"

Warren Sapp: "On 16 pass attempts he completed 8 balls, 4 of them on screens, the one he threw in the end zone Stanford Routt and Michael Huff played it the worst I've ever seen a DB play a pass, and he's running down the middle of the field with one of these missed handoffs that he forgets to hand the ball off to the running back and then follows him into the hole...No. If you're quarterback cannot hand it off and throws 4 screens of his 8 completions, no, back to the drawing board."

Well said, Warren.

 

[EmpireWF]

Fuck Warren Sapp, that fat ass.

Tebow will have to prove himself to whichever new coaching staff comes to Denver next year. It's probable he will be behind the 8-ball and be a back-up, unless ownership looks for someone to come in and develop him.

I say, you let the guy use a 1st round pick on him (traded 3 picks for Tebow), give the guy a fair chance to develop into the franchise QB. Obviously he is new in the process of that, but open up the damn playbook for the guy. See what you have!

 

[biggamejrs]

The Raiders opened up the playbook for JaBustas and look what happened. I say work him in slow. No need to force it.

 

[Maize]

Well said, Warren.

How many times did you think you would say that in your life?

 

[Tailback U]

lol no they didn't. They only called plays that isolated half of the field for him and he couldn't even handle that.

 

[Tailback U]

How many times did you think you would say that in your life?

I've never had a problem with Warren. He's been harshly critical of the Raiders since retiring but who am I to argue with him?

 

[Tailback U]

Tim Tebow is now a 72 on Madden and has had his potential bumped from a B to an A...

Offline franchise raping will ensue.

And Jason Campbell is an 81. LOL.

While Warren Sapp is admittedly more qualified to opine on such things than yours truly, I don't think you judge a quarterback based on one game.

You can judge his performance for that game, though. Glen and Goblin were going on and on about how Tebow looked "great." Like I said before, only time will decide how good Tebow is. Look at Flacco and Ryan, they are just starting to look great, I wouldn't even say they are quite there yet.

 

[Goober]

Wow! It took Sam Bradford 12 games to get a 300 yards passing game, it only took Tim two games. He carried the team to victory, that's for sure.

 

[Goober]

Oh BTW... I'm in my FF Championship next week with the same team that most of you ripped to shreds when I posted it here initially. Orton carried me to the playoffs and now Tebow is going to bring me the $$$$!

Third place for me. I would have won it all, but the player I hate the most in the entire fucking league shit the bed for me in the semifinals last week. He put up one point. That's right the injury-prone, grinning retard known as Knowshon Moreno ruined my fantasy season. Fuck that guy.

Tim Tebow sure was a great pick up though for the playoff run.

He had over 25 points last week, and over 30 today.

 

[Tailback U]

Good for Tebow. Didn't catch the game but his statline looked good and most importantly, he got the win and brought the Broncos back from a pretty big deficit. I got no problem with giving a guy credit when he deserves it.
