Why Tim Tebow is better than you think...


QB 1---1st 16 games started---3-13 W-L, 71.2 passer rating.

QB 2---1st 15 games started---8-7 W-L, 63 passer rating.

QB 3---1st 14 games started---8-6 W-L, 75.1 passer rating.

QB 1 is Peyton Manning. QB 2 is Mark Sanchez. QB 3 is Mr. Tebow.

Tebow's career passer rating might be skewed, because it's based on 23 games played, where he entered for a play or two...but it's not including his 90.0 rating in the playoffs.

BTW, in college, in the most pro-ready league (the SEC), while both of their teams were national programs---

Manning---147.1 QB Rating, 89-33 TD-INT, 62.5 completion %, -183 yards rushing.

Tebow---170.8 QB Rating, 88-16 TD-INT, 66.4 completion %, 2946 yards rushing (4.3 YPC)

National Championships---Manning 0, Tebow (+ Chris Leak) 2.

(BTW, Sanchez, with a LOADED USC team---153.9 Rating, 41-16 TD-INT, 64.3 %, 33 rushing)

& for fun, since this seems to be the pro "comp" for Tebow---

Kordell Stewart---136.2 QB Rating, 33-19 TD-INT, 1339 rushing (4.3 YPC)

This narrative that Tim Tebow is a finished pro prospect @ QB is ludicrous at best. Only his insane national profile leads people to scrutinize him so prematurely, as if he's been playing NFL QB for 5 years. He went up against the #1 pass defense in his 15th game as a starter & put up a 125.6 rating. YES, his pro completion % is a joke. But odds are, he's gonna get better. Sanchez should be the starter. Tebow should be in Jacksonville. But this "throwing fullback" is a better passer than you'd think.
