The guy has a long way to go, I don't know why that's so hard to admit for some people.

He does. But the anti-Tebow crowd, for whatever reason, doesn't want him to have the chance. It's one thing to offer the opinion that he's not the best QB in the league. It's another to be openly rooting for him to fail just to prove some preconceived notion about how the position should be played.

So even as the NFL continues to pass rules to protect passers and pass receivers to encourage passing to the point where records are falling at an alarming rate, it makes sense to have a guy at quarterback who doesn't pass well?

And if you think there's a future for quarterbacks who are primarily runners, check today's Tebow injury story. And check the longevity of bruising 235-pound running backs. Do you really want your guy who is responsible for reading defenses and calling plays to take that kind of punishment over the course of a season/career?

The point has been, the gimmick Denver came up with this year has no long-term future. Fox has acknowledged that, saying it was a "bridge" to Tebow becoming a conventional QB.

And there was very little evidence this year that Tebow can become an effective conventional QB. It's possible, but unlikely.

So you're discounting any possibility, after he's made 16-17 NFL starts, that he will ever get better?

Let's analyze the last three sentences of the above exchange:

"And there was very little evidence this year that Tebow can become an effective conventional QB. It's possible, but unlikely."

Followed by:

"So you're discounting any possibility, after he's made 16-17 NFL starts, that he will ever get better?"

Uhm...did you not read what had just been typed?

Well, you appear to be discounting it. Let me ask you this: if the Broncos stuck with Tebow, didn't change the offense one iota, but he works on his accuracy, improved and got to the NFL average completiong percentage of above, would that be okay with you?

Yeah, that would be wonderful. And if he'd rush for 2,000 yards, that would be swell too. And if he'd kick a bunch of 50-yard field goals, well that would be just dandy.

To start with, the Broncos characterize what they did on offense as a "bridge" to something more conventional. And then from what I saw, it wasn't a matter of Tebow making poor pass choices like a lot of young quarterbacks make, he'd just flub the throw a lot.

So to me, I'm skeptical if he's going to get to 60 percent , which is the league average, running any offense in the NFL.

^^^Maybe I'm just loopy right now, but that is awesome.

Every time I look at it, it makes me laugh.

Even Christian Rap has switched from singing about God to Tebow.

I'll bet a slap in my face that says Tebow will be the starter for all of next season and will post a QB rating higher than 80. Staying away from team performance/playoff speculation, though.

Any takers?

You really need to stop making these bets, Mister.

You're loopy whether it's awesome or not.

Someone just e-mailed this one:

God is eating dinner alone.

Eli Manning approaches the table and God asks, "What do you believe?" Manning says, "I believe in hard work, and in staying true to family and friends.”

God can't help but see the goodness of Manning and offers him a seat to his left.

Tim Tebow walks up and God says, "What do you believe?"

Tebow says, "I believe in your total goodness, your love and generosity, and that you have given all to mankind.”

God is greatly moved by Tebow’s eloquence, and offers him a seat to his right.

Finally, Tom Brady comes over to the table: God asks, "And you, Tom, what do you believe?"

Brady replies, "I believe you're in my seat."

MOBILE, Ala. — After the Broncos completed their 2011 season, they did two things at quarterback: They named Tim Tebow the starter heading into training camp this summer, and they posted a "help wanted" sign to fill the depth chart behind Tebow.

"We will be in the market to find more quarterbacks," said John Elway, the Broncos' executive vice president of football operations. "That's our approach with Tim being our starter as we go to training camp, that we'll look at free agency and the draft."

Kenny Powers rises to the defense of Tim Tebow.

You see, Gifted Young Athlete, people look at us and they see all they don't have. It's like, "homeboy's over there gettin' 'er done! And Jesus loves him too! Fuck that guy."
But can you really blame them? Wouldn't you be pissed? Jesus helps us win at sports games, yet he's nowhere to be found when poor people need important medicine for their kid's infection, or when they're late on a mortgage payment. Think about it. There are folks in Africa who get AIDS without even being gay. Yet here Jesus is, helping me & Tebow out in sports, just because we're maybe a little bit cooler in his eyes. It's a raw deal, plain and simple. Even though he's hooking me up, I still see it's kind of a cocksucker move on Jesus's part.

That doesn't look like it's worth the click.

Michigan Men are ineligible for that seat, by definition.
