Look at the final numbers and convince me that Rivers played better? Tebow hit a couple of big passes on the last drive on the fourth (39 to Decker and 23 to Rosario) to set up the tying field goal. Rivers was barely over 50% (19-36) and despite throwing twice as many times, only had 45 more yards than Tebow.
I think anyone would be a fool to argue that Tebow is a good passer but I think it's also foolish to think that a quarterback's job is only to pass. You've got to lead and you've got to take care of the ball and you've got to keep the defense off balance. Tebow excels in doing all of those things. You can call it luck but 5-1 is 5-1. As they say, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.
