The guy is 7-1. Yet people are acting like if he loses one game against one of the best teams in the league this week it will justify all their hate. :rolleyes:
I don't want to "justify the haters" because I like Tebow, but Vince Young had such a winning percentage as a rookie as well (and ended up stealing Rookie of the Year honors from Colston who truly deserved it). His wins were also largely due to a suffocating defense and great running back rather than his bad QB stats with a couple of good plays in crunch time. Despite his Win/Loss numbers, however, VY never was much of a QB and Tennessee fell apart the year they tried to rely on his play to get them over the hump. He short-circuited and Fisher got fired. Now, I don't expect Tebow to short-circuit because he has a much better head on his shoulders than VY, but I also think John Elway is smart enough to know he needs Tebow to be "Slash" with a true QB under center to have the possibility of bringing Denver another Lombardi trophy.
Tebow is a great football player and a great human being, he just isn't a QB. He should be a HB/TE who a coach throws in at QB on a wildcat now and then.
Make no mistake, I'd love to have him on the Saints. He'd be a great asset, but I certainly wouldn't want him starting under center. I'm certain Drew and Payton would have a field day using him like Bush or Sproles, and he'd have a ton of great plays for us.
