Because right now Tim Tebow is the biggest story in all of sports and one of the biggest news stories in the country.

Tim Tebow = ratings while not many people give a shit about the 7-6 giants.

They are 25-4 because thats Aaron Rodgers Td/Int rate.

Damn when did they start keeping standing based on completions, i must have missed that.

Was reading the first few posts of this thread and just wanted to bump one of my original comments.

I make myself laugh sometimes

THIS IS FOR MJ2345 AS WELL.

I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO... "name me a hall of fame quarterback (or even a pro bowl one) that had less than 50% completion percentage in the last 30 years?"...QUESTION IS HOW MANY DO YOU WANT? THERE ARE WAY TO MANY TO LIST. I THOUGHT THAT I SHOULD AT LEAST NAME A FEW, SINCE YOU SEEM TO NOT HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT (AM IN NO WAY BEING A JERK EITHER)...

Bart Starr - 4-time Pro Bowler & 1-time First-Team All-Pro. Led his team to Superbowls 1 & 2, which he won both and was named MVP of both Superbowls. Inducted into Hall of Fame in 1977.

(Yes he was above 50% a few of these years, but barely). He also had 11 years in his career where he threw 59 comp.% or under.
1958 - 49.7 comp.%, 1959 - 52.2 comp.%, 1971 - 53.3 comp.%.

Earl Morrall - 2nd overall pick in the 1st round in 1956. He was a 2 time pro bowler and 2 time first team all pro. Also led his team to Superbowl 3.

1959 - 47.4 comp.%, 1961 - 46.0 comp.%, 1966 - 47.0 comp.%,
1969 - 46.5 comp.%. He had 2 more years below 50%, but only started 2 games in those years.

Len dawson - 7-time Pro Bowler & 2-time First-Team All-Pro.He led his team to Superbowls 1 & 4 and won Superbowl 4 and was named Superbowl MVP. Inducted into Hall of Fame in 1987.

(Yes he was above 50% a few of these years, but barely). He also had 15 years in his career where he threw 59 comp.% or under.
1961 - 46.7 comp.%, 1963 - 53.4 comp.%, 1970 - 53.8 comp.%.

No, I didn't. I only saw the highlights and the 6 dropped passes.
But I have posted close to 50 posts in this thread, explaining how he doesn't suck.
I also posted earlier in this thread, that he is in the 15-20 range of best QB's in the league.

I don't care how long you have been watching sports, Tebow has been a winner his ENTIRE life, is 7-1 in his first 8 career starts, ON A BAD TEAM. He has an TD/int rate of 11/2 and you are claiming for us all to MARK YOUR WORDS IT WONT LAST.

You are treating this guy like he has been the league forever and has no room for improvement. You are clueless.

Stop being a hater, seriously guy it is written all over your face


TOTALLY AGREE!!! EXCELLENT POST!!!

tallguyindc,

If you want me to just go back to just the last 30 years, I will.

There is a ton of them.
I just figured I would start with some well known Superbowl winners and a few guys that took their team to the Superbowl.

I obviously started my research from the beginning of the 1st Superbowl.

  He is a great football player.  If he can help win games for his team being a great football player, does he have to be a great quarterback too?  He is the team leader and they are winning games. His teams always have.  But guys like you think that he has never played against "good teams".  Never in his football career has he played against "good teams". Wake up MJ.  It ain't luck when it keeps happening throughout his career!!!

If Clark doesnt make the catch SF loses If Holmes doesnt make catch Pitt loses SB If Barber doesnt fumble and run out of bounds Chi wins If Buff Fg is not wide they beat giants If Favre doesnt throw interception GB goes to SB IfTenn gets 1 extra yard SB is tied If Tenn doesnt run back against Buff Buff wins If Manning doesnt complete pass NE wins SB If my grandma had a Di*k she would be my grandpa IF IF IF IF  That is the beauty of sports THATS WHY THEY PLAY THE GAME I am by no means a Tebow fan He is not a great QB per se however I have become a believer He never gives up and makes believers out of his teammates That is an MVP and i am starting to follow his games like a kid with a new hero and new excitement for the greatest sport and a great example what perseverance can accomplish

Na Slim, I'll pass.

Great info matt

The Pats might win/cover on sunday, but the people calling a 38-14 blowout will be in for a huge suprise.

THE PATRIOTS DEFENSE IS GOD AWFUL.

Rex Grossman was completly 20 yard passes like he was playing in highschool. REX GROSSMAN

If my aunt had balls...... I'm ridin' dude's wave.  The scripture says somewhere that steam generates power and power's responsible for light.  My light bill's due and odds are that Teebz can keep 'em flickerin'!  Flicker flicker!!!!  Tebow keep's it close this week.  Pats couldn't stop a crossing guard in a high speed chase! Bet the farm!!

Every member of the Bears defensive staff should be fired for that choke job of a prevent defense they played last game. That was the end of the road for Lovie and that nonsense

If all the praying can make Tim Tebow this lucky to have some obvious destiny, them i'm sold.  There is no other explanation than a higher power! We can't stop that!

Matt4000,
I never said there weren,t QBs in the HOF under 50% completions!!


RodWoman,
Quit putting words in my mouth.I have never said anything about his college career.I also never said he didnt play any good teams in his football career.He also is no a great football player and should never be in the same breath with the great football plays.

GREAT football player are you friggin serious

Like I said hes an average player/QB on a good run in the last 6 games.

MJ,

You stated that Tebow wasn't a good QB in one of your previous posts.

You then said "he completes under 50% of his passes.

So, I was only pointing out the FACT that just because a QB completes under 50% of his passes, doesn't mean that one is a bad QB.

There are way to many good to excellent QB's throughout history that had a completion % that was under 50%.

Again, all I am saying is, a QB's completion % isn't the only determining factor to look at, as to whether a QB is good or sucks.

Numbers do sometimes lie! (LOL).

It's a shame that Tebow is getting more headlines than the undefeated Packers.

where's the shame on that Sparky? It's expected that the packers can go undefeated. On the other hand, you and all your minions couldn't let the hate go. week in week out for the last 6 or so weeks that tebow defy the analysts like yourself that's why they talk about him so much out of hate and dislike and comparing him to other QBs and stuff. sorry that NYG is not getting the same treatment especially Eli who rallied the G-men in the last 3 min to get the W. In all honesty, Eli is good but not great.

He's not defying the analysts. The analysts said he can't throw. And they're right.
