Well I'll admit. You never heard anything like that about Joe Namath, Kenny Stabler, Bobby Layne or a dozen other hall of famers with actual track records.
I'll answer that but for myself. Because I've known some of his family, friends, and associates for years and we talk often.
I agree. And none of us are saying HOF for Tebow. I am only saying that I think he can be successful in this league. Remember, there has never ever been a qb like Tebow. So there is no track record for this. And I admit, that's one reason we are having this debate.
Dude. Shut the fuck up already. You've been embarassing yourself for months on this forum with your imbecilic "Gator Nation" bullshit and now your pretending to be a friend of the family. Get the fuck out of here.
I agree. I think he can and should be used to maximum advantage, which my teams coaches apparently haven't come around to.
Glad this discussion turned out to be better than the way it started. After the first couple posts, it was a pleasure talking to you.
You boys need to get over the whole martyr thing. Being ridiculed for supporting Tim Tebow on an anonymous message board forum really isn't that much of a burden to bear, is it?
If you're gonna call us martyrs, you're gonna have to point to some quotes and then we can be the judge of that. I see some message board soldiers but no martyrs.
Especially not when you consider the severe lack of intellect of those doing the ridiculing. In short, when a fucking idiot steps forward and tries to question my intelligence, I don't worry about it at all. Rather, I laugh my ass off.
Actually, it's more of me being a nice enough guy that I take time to try and educate others and disabuse them of their flawed notions. It'd be about the same as if you came on here and said 2+3=27, I'd actually try and explain to you that the answer was 5. Granted, it would be a wasted effort most likely, but I'd still try.
well I thought it was interesting to note that he singled out Tebow for mention, a defensive tackle talking about a back up QB. Tebow has been a good thing for the locker room, too bad it did not turn into more wins so far.
Revis likes the guy alot, so thats at least one team leader who is in his corner. I would post the link, but im like 14 posts short of being able to do so.
This one? Darrelle Revis raves about Tim Tebow Updated: May 17, 2012, 10:53 AM ET By Rich Cimini | ESPNNewYork.com FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Tim Tebow exudes leadership -- even when he's chowing down in the New York Jets' cafeteria. Tebow's new teammates are paying close attention to their new backup quarterback, and they've noticed he's passionate about everything he does, eating lunch included. Cornerback Darrelle Revis, who criticized the Denver Broncos' Tebow-led offense last season, raved about Tebow's approach -- and Revis isn't one to gush. "He's a born leader, he really is," Revis said Wednesday. "Very few athletes have the gift he has. He tries to lead by example all the time. He tries to be positive, which is awesome, and that (has resulted) in his success on the field." “ Some people have it, some guys don't. It's the passion within, wanting to be a leader, wanting to win. You see it all the time, eating lunch, walking down the hallway. You see it. ” Asked to define Tebow's leadership, Revis smiled. "I wish I was God, I'm not," he said. "I don't know. Some people have it, some guys don't. It's the passion within, wanting to be a leader, wanting to win. You see it all the time, eating lunch, walking down the hallway. You see it. "He's like that cartoon character Zeus (sic). He's one of those guys. He's very positive. He has passion for whatever he does. You can see it on him." The Tebow love-fest continues. Tebow has yet to take a competitive snap -- OTAs don't begin until next week -- but he already has received more praise from teammates and coaches than some players get in a season. It's reminiscent to summer 2008, when the Jets traded for Brett Favre and the hype machine ran non-stop. Of course, that was a future Hall-of-Fame quarterback; Tebow is the No. 2 quarterback, backing up Mark Sanchez. Nevertheless, the Jets like what they see from Tebow, who shows up at 6:15 a.m. to lift weights, likes to be first in line during weight-lifting sessions and willingly engages in locker-room banter with teammates. During an open locker room Wednesday, Tebow and linebacker Bart Scott exchanged playful barbs. Scott, within earshot of reporters, called over to Tebow, referring to him as "Baby Jesus." Tebow, a devout Christian, laughed. Scott, 31, complained about being sore. Tebow called him old and told Scott to take a cold tub. The quick-witted linebacker asked Tebow if he'd baptize him. "He's meshing really well with the team already, all the guys," guard Matt Slauson said. That Tebow received Revis' praise is significant because, in the days leading up to last November's game at Denver, the All-Pro cornerback claimed a read-option offense couldn't achieve long-term success in the NFL unless Michael Vick and Chris Johnson were running it. Tebow went out that week and beat the Jets with a 95-yard touchdown drive in the final minutes. On one of his scrambles, Tebow ran through a would-be tackle by Revis. "He's a playmaker, he makes plays, he wins games," Revis said. "Having him as a teammate is kind of different because you actually get to see him every day. You get to talk to him every day, you get to eat lunch with him. You get to know him as a person. It's totally different." Revis was in the weight room recently when he told Tebow he once watched him on TV in a high school state championship. Tebow, raised in Florida, was taken aback. "Everybody's watching you, buddy," Revis told him. The Jets seem smitten with Tebow, but they also have an incumbent -- Sanchez -- with a 27-20 career mark plus four playoff victories. Locker-room friendships only carry so much weight, according to Jets legend Joe Namath. "The one-eyed monster tells no lies," Namath said Tuesday night at a charity event in Manhattan. "That's how they practice, how they play -- on tape. On that camera. It doesn't have a voice. Every player, every coach can see the execution, who's working right, who isn't working right, who isn't working as well as they should. That'll be the deciding factor." The Tebow gushing doesn't mean the Jets haven't forgotten about Sanchez. Revis said Sanchez and Tebow are both "dangerous" players, saying they'd be hard to stop if used at the same time. "You wouldn't be able to prepare for it because nobody has ever seen it," Revis said. "You'd have to be cautious on the defensive side." Sanchez also is regarded as a team leader, and he has said in the past he wants it to be "his" offense. Can there be two leaders at the same position? "Everybody can lead on this team," Revis said.
I love how the three stooges of hate have avoided this thread like the plague. i guess they can not argue against the Jets' players.
It's all about the argument with those guys, not facts and reason. What baffles me most is why anyone tries to reason with a predictably ridiculous argument, except for what Demosthenes9 said. They'll be back.
Did any of you listen to Tebow's audibles when he was miked up during one of the Denver games? I particularly remember when he threw a bad pass that the receiver couldn't catch, Tebow said "My bad, my bad" to his teammate. Next play went great. Just curious- Do any other QBs do that?
I think someone mentioned it before. Those guys probably lost bets or went around telling everyone that the Broncos were gonna sink as soon as Tebow became qb. It didn't happen. Their ego got hurt. So these guys are so damaged and scarred from last season and that's why they came here to trash Tebow on this message board.
...yes... Every time you see a qb tap his chest, he is saying my bad. Happens about 50 times a sunday.
