This whole thing is getting crazier by the weirder by the week. 2-8 passing for 69 yards.....but a 56 yd touchdown in the fourth. McGahee was out. Moreno went down first quarter, no serious recievers....but they win again. In a results driven league where you take wins where you can, he is getting them. Very odd things going on here.

This thing gets crazier by the week, one QB in the NFL has a better road record as starter.
Yesterday was a clinic in how to run without a back at all. I am enjoying it completely and laugh at the haters as the wins pile up. If he continues to win they are going to have some serious 'splainin' to do after this season is over. Worse QB's have had some great careers.
I am a Cowboys fan living in Denver so I feel compelled (perhaps by a higher power???) to root for him.
Going to the game Thursday so I really hope they bring it. Got some Jet fans from NJ visiting.

Trent Dilfer, jeff hosteltler, michael vick, mark sanchez, ben rothlisberger (once you rape a girl you lose all cred), rich gannon, doug williams etc. etc.
Kids played 7 games, some slack is due. And you can be sure he won't be raping anyone.

This is really one of the dumbest posts ever on here. The group above has won at least 4 Super Bowls which will be 4 more than Tebow will win. There have been quite a few QB's that have gotten off to a good start yet failed miserably. You don't think NFL defenses will be able to stop the Denver veer offense after watching it on film for a few weeks?

Aside from Ben (who no longer matters as he rapes chicks) not one of the above has "won" a Superbowl. You have no understanding of high level competitive team sport or you would understand that.
Regarding the offense...good defenses will likely handle it sure, that said the way they tackle in the NFL these days lends itself to this offense handling many opponents.
As far as your prediction to Tebow's Superbowl wins, your ability to see the future is remarkable, please share in the selections thread more often.

I'm so sure in my ability to see the future I'll bet you a $1000. The bet is Tebow does not take the majority of snaps AT QUARTERBACK on a super bowl winning team. Put your money where your mouth is.

By the way, I think he's a good football player and a quality person. I just don't think he has the skill set to have success at QB in the NFL over an extended period of time.

As a QB, Tebow isn't better than any of the guys you listed. As a fullback, you are correct.

I'm not sure how someone can look at a 2 for 8 performance and do anything put laugh at the ridiculousness of it all.

Signed,

a hater

As a very young QB he has won two national championships, a Heisman and is 3-1 this year as a starter with the same teammates as Orton had for two years at 4-14 or whatever he was. Hate all you want, he seems to enjoy it as much as I do. Guy is two hail mary completions from having two wins over San Diego.
7TDs and 1 INT, yards are irrelevant, % is irrelevant, attempts are irrelevant.
Who is your teams QB?

i think christian ponder playing against the packers will have a better game than tim tebow playing against the jets.

he'll also have a better nfl career. but he wasn't a first round pick and doesn't have an adoring army of fans willing to ignore fundamental flaws in his abilities.

The problem with this simple kind of thinking is that well, it's far too simple. Understand what I am saying, Tebow is a very good football player. He just isn't a very good pro QB and that isn't going to change if he never loses another game.

Again, he had TWO completions yesterday. Two. I also don't hate him, nor am I a hater. I just think it's funny you called people haters for not jumping on the bandwagon.

One either believes in karma or not, I do...many don't. It's not like I believe that his success or failure depends on karma, I just feel that good folks have positive karma on their side....and sure, bad things happen to good folks all the time. In the end, Tebow's skill set will determine his future, but as others have said, strange how he somehow ends up on the winning side so often. Finally, I agree Danzig, it's not world peace, it's football.

i bet texans fans are hoping leinart has good karma. schaub has a foot injury, no telling how long he'll be out.


as for tebow, i get a kick out of espn being wrong. how long it'll last, who knows? also get a laugh out of 'tebowing'. the guy works his ass off, i give him credit for that.

this reminds me of the good old days when people would come on to post their local temperture as proof that climate change didn't exist.

tebow has 3 wins against teams with a collective 11-16 record. his team is averaging less than 21 points/game in the 4 games he's started against defensive powerhouses miami, detroit, oakland, and kansas city.

i'll give him this. he's one hell of a fullback. but i'd still take ronnie brown's passing accuracy over his.

i'll take a stab at his stat line against the jets thursday: 5/16, 102 yards , 0 td's, 2 int. they won't win.

Climate change argument? Wow, he is important huh? Wins are wins in the awful afc west. Are the niners crap too? Their division sux. Must be an eagles fan.

your analogy sucks almost as much as tebow. san francisco has played 1 game against a division opponent so far. they're 3-1 against the nfc east and beat the same detroit team that dominated your boy.

they're better than average.

Anyone think Kyle Orton is a better qb than Tebow?
