When comparing stats, you compare regular season vs. regular season, correct? Especially when one of the players did not make the post-season, correct? Tebow had 11 starts. He had 12 fumbles. That is 1.09 fumbles per game. Moore had 13 starts. He had 14 fumbles. That is 1.08 fumbles per game. Nice try.
Tebow had 122 regular season rush attempts last year. He put the ball on the ground 12 times. A fumble every 10 carries is quite sad, relevant or not.
You said per game bud. You compare it per game. Its semantics anyway. More telling is fumbles lost. Which of course you need to stay away from. The season starts soon enough. You say Tebow will crash and burn, I say he will score TDs and help the Jets win...lets see who ends up being right.
A good number of his fumbles were in the pocket, so incorrect that it was "a fumble every 10 carries." Why are you chasing this rabbit so hard?
Just read my signature, Phaytal predicted Tebow's demise over and over even before he took a regular season snap last year ...the rest as they say is history. Phaytal is heavily invested in having Tebow fail. It is as simple as that.
I wouldn't say that I'm heavily invested in Tebow failing. I just find those that will go to the ends of the Earth to defend Tebow, absolutely hysterical. The idiocy that surrounds him makes me laugh. Also, predicting Tebow's demise was one of the easiest things I have ever done. He has gone from a 1st round pick to 4th round value (and slipping) in less than 2 years. Not one team in the NFL was willing to make him their franchise quarterback, let alone their starter. Now he is on Special Teams as a punt protector lol, and backing up a very average Mark Sanchez, who, by comparison, looks elite next to Tebow. Yeah, his career is really soaring. :lol:
Ummm, last I checked, he's doing better than your loverboy Orton, who will only get on the field if Romo is basically dead. Oh, speaking of Orton, what's his playoff record again ?? What's his record over his last 16 starts ? Run along now you sad little troll.
Who gives a crap what he did in college. Luck is the best QB prospect to come out since Peyton Manning, and by all accounts looks like the real deal. Tebow will be lucky to be in the NFL in 2-3 years as a QB.
Defense during Orton's first 4-5 games. 23 20 17 49 lol 27-29 When Tebow started. 10 and 7 vs KC 24 vs Oak 30 vs Minn (good game from him) 15 vs Mia 10 vs Chi 13 vs NYJ 19 vs Buff 38 vs NE 10 or 13 vs SD 25-30+ vs Det 7 times the D gave up less then 20. How many times did it do that with Orton, not many. The main reason they turned it around was b/c of the D keeping them in it for the whole game. Note, not a fan of Orton, but we had some key players out when he was QB. Dumervil, Champ, Thomas, DJ, and others and Miller came into his own in the middle of the year.
You'll scoff at it most likely, but alot of that came down to faith, in my opinion. Faith in Tebow to win the game. The Broncos players didn't seem to have any faith in Orton. No belief that he could/would win that close game. What they saw was him sacking himself in that one game. Throwing picks at absolutely the wrong time in others, killing any chance they had.
Scoff at Champ Bailey all you want. He's the one that talked about this. There was also an article in the NY Times, iirc, that talked about this as well.
So what? Even "IF" all that is true, that says more about the Denver defense's lack of professionalism and inability of their CS to motivate their players than it does about Tebow's ability to play QB. (in this case only better than Orton) So the defense played harder for him? That must mean he's great! Or it means they had people return from injury and an emergence of a rookie star, etc. It's a damn good thing for them that they did play better because had they allowed the other team to score more than 17 points consistently that might have not won very many games with Tebow! Just imagine how well that defense could've been and how much "faith" they would've had if they had a real NFL quarterback!!!!
