Tebow to sign with Philly....

[BeardoMSU]

What's interesting though and gets greatly reduced in value from your crowd is the "it factor" present in Tebow. He motivates his team. He wins games. 8-5 with a playoff win for a rookie is impressive. So is leading the league in rushing and rushing tds from the QB position. So is taking a 1-4 team and leading them into the playoffs. Remember Tebow singlehandedly bringing them back to beat the Jets and then doing a ten minute interview on the NFL Network? I do and I remember Rex Ryan went and signed him just so he didn't have to face him the next year. Tebow is a winner. He will win again if a team buys into him completely.

Alright, Skip, you've blown your cover***, lol.

This is another example of a double standard that exists with Tebow. Tebow as a QB, yes, as Skip has said for years: "all he does is win"....but that's not only a ridiculous statement, but also an incomplete one. The ultimate problem here is the standards in which Tebow is being judged as compared to other "marginal" talents at the QB position. Tebow can complete less than 5 passes in a a game, with a sub 20 QBR for most of the game, but now it becomes: "its not the total game, but about what he does in the 4th quarter". When he played for the Jets the mantra was always "he's not a practice player", but again, "all he does is win"..."you put him in a game situation and he'll win you games". Him not beating out the competition was turned into some religious persecution conspiracy.

Just answer me this: how many other marginal talents have this bandwagon of support behind them? How many other QB's would be able to suck it up for 3/4th's of a game and have it written off if they rush for a go-ahead TD late in the 4th quarter? These are standards that are not ubiquitous, 61.
