Tebow signing with Eagles

Travis34 said:
You guys... help me out here. So my cousin, HUGE Colts fan, and HUGE christian is posting on fb about how he thinks Tebow can play qb and could be better. I, of course, disagree. But you gotta read the crap that is being said. These people are literally delusional, they must think the power of god is going to somehow transform Tebow into a good qb...

lets start with this comment:

Adam Awesome....the guy can play!
Travis What position? Surely not qb...
AndrewI'd love to see him at qb. Supposedly he has been working with Tom Bradys qb coach. Plus I'm not convinced Sanchez is much better. Tebow is a way better athlete. I want to see how he does at least.
Courtney Sanchez . . . don't make me laugh!
Adam Oh I'm sorry Travis ....didn't mean to say "the guy can play" what I meant was all Tebow does is "win" (@ quarterback)
Travis As a qb, he's simply not good. Maybe trying to reform his mechanics and reading a defense would help, but also when were his last meaningful snaps at that position? How many teams has he been cut from? And being a better athlete doesn't mean much when talking about qb's, as you should know from seeing Peyton/Brady.... A great guy he is yes, no doubt, but come on, he's not an NFL caliber qb
AdamI don't know how he does it...but every team he has ever started for has ALWAYS been successful. There have been plenty of unorthodox pro athletes that don't fall into the cookie cutter formula. In HS he carried his team to state, in college he is considered one of the best all time and won a national title and at the pro level the only time he was given a chance he took over a team that was 1-4 and got them to the playoffs and won in the playoffs. Funny thing is he started with a playoff attaining winning percentage and even got a worse Broncos team in one year as many playoff wind as manning has got them in 3 years. The dude looks unorthodox and it scares coaches, but he wins.

Travis 2010 Broncos - 4-12
2011 Broncos - 8-8 (lucked into the playoffs)
2012 jets - threw 8 passes, 6-10 (okay that's not all on him)
2013- didn't make the Patriots team

Since then he's been out of the league...

Courtney So what defines "not good"? Kinda like this? "As a member of the Denver Broncos, he started the last three games of his rookie season and became the team's full-time starting quarterback beginning in the sixth game of 2011. The Broncos were 1–4 before he became the starter, but began winning with him on the field, often coming from behind late in the fourth quarter, until they won their first AFC West title and first playoff game SINCE 2005, defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers in overtime." Just because a player doesn't conform to the "appropriate mechanics" or whatever is expected, I would definitely go with the wins. . . Just sayin'. Plus, I'd much rather watch a stand up guy anyways then sleaze buckets like Gronkowsky . . .

Travis Plenty of players "win" in college but that doesn't translate to pro success. I'll give you that, he was a pretty dang good college player
Courtney ps. He only played 3 games in 2010, started in 2011 AFTER the 6th game
Courtney Not saying he's the best, but he needs a bigger shot than a couple half seasons - especially if he is winning post-season.
Travis He won one game, because Demaryius Thomas took a slant 80 yards. What happened the next game? So I guess he does win, just... sometimes.
Courtney Actually he won 9 games and every qb only wins sometimes. I am unaware of any qb who wins all the time . . .
Courtney But I just like the guy lol! He's such a hard worker and a leader. His ability to fire his team up is probably responsible for most of his wins
Travis You just said he wins "post season"



*also, Andrew is my cousin, the ones putting up such a fit right now are his sister/brother inlaws

Good luck with that. You'd probably have a better chance of telling them that "Jesus" is really a "Jessica" than trying to convince them otherwise that all that Tebow does is win.

Both Maclin and Jackson are talented players if they are lined up at same time they are even more dangerous.
Kelly is so damn overrated.
I don't think its a coincidence that the new coach took them farther than Kelly ever did.

He had Jackson and Maclin his first season and Maclin didn't really produce much while jackson had a good season until he got hurt.I'm not saying dumping Jackson and letting Maclin sign elsewhere were smart moves but he thinks he can get similar production for cheaper. If say Jordan Matthews puts up similar numbers as the no. 1 receiver this year i think he may be right for thinking it's more system than player. The coach at Oregon made it to the NC title game running Kelly's system with Kelly's players and probably would of been on the outside looking in this year just like Kelly was had it been the BCS era like Kelly (The title game would of been FSU/Bama had this been BCS). Finally, Chip Kelly got to the NC as the Oregon Coach in the 2010/2011 season. It remains to be seen how well his moves this offseason play out.
 
Philly Pretzel Factory creates custom Tim Tebow pretzel

Even though he's the fourth or fifth quarterback on the Eagles depth chart, Tim Tebow is being talked about like a madman.

He's also being recreated in salty dough form thanks to the Philly Pretzel Factory. An image of a pretzel Tebow-ing started circulating on the Internet on Monday and CBSSports.com confirmed with the company the pretzel is real.

was listening to Dan Patrick show and it was mentioned that (obviously we really dont know what is going on in Chip Kelly's head and why he really signed Tebow) but what if Chip Kelly is really ahead of us all as a genius. Tebow has been one of the best short yardage and goal line QBs in college, and maybe the NFL when he was playing. In the future they might be moving the ball to the 1 yard line, or 1 1/2 yard line) to enhance 2 point conversions instead of extra points. Chip Kelly loves to get points anyway possible, and steal extra points or plays for it as much as possible. what if he is bringing in Tebow to thrive in this aspect for the future with this possible rule change actually happening in the future???

it was interesting comments, made me think, and even laugh a bit too... Chip Kelly the mad scientist coach!!!
