NFL Week 11: In four weeks we can put TEBOW!!!! in the headline

Re: NFL Week 11: Alex Smith's Hall of Fame campaign begins

No one would be ripping Rivers for winning the game with a last-minute drive because he's won games in the first three quarters several times in his career. The one against the Jets would have been the anomaly. For Tebow, at least in the small sample, it seems to be the norm.

Then you haven't looked.

Morals have nothing to do with how someone performs on the football field. Tebow owes his 4-1 record to Von Miller, not Jesus.

There's never been a thread title with less relevance to the discussion.

Not sustainable, though. If he can truly play his entire career at a 0.33 TO/game ratio, then good for him. But especially with the way he runs, the fumbles are coming.

 

Re: NFL Week 11: Alex Smith's Hall of Fame campaign begins

The way he runs it's probably more likely that the injuries are coming.

 

Re: NFL Week 11: Alex Smith's Hall of Fame campaign begins

I'm enjoying one of my Christian Facebook friends arguing with one of his Christian FB friends over Tim Tebow. My FB friend said if you're not rooting for Tebow you're rooting for Satan. This caused the other guy, who I don't know, to get mad because he doesn't think rooting against Tebow (or rooting for the other team) means you root for Satan. The original guy's wife used a community sports analogy to say that Tebow could be good and his team could lose just like her sister in some soccer game, so you could still root for Tebow and your own team at the same time. I said it was ironic that Tebow has been generally lousy and his team is winning.

Even if you don't like Tebow you gotta love him for giving everyone so much fodder.

Would you say that if he were a RB?

Mark it down: Kansas City at Denver, flexed to Sunday night, Jan. 1, with the AFC West title hanging in the balance.

They're going to show the Ten Commandments as pregame.

 

Re: NFL Week 11: Alex Smith's Hall of Fame campaign begins

I say that about all running backs, ever. It's a meatgrinder position.

 

Re: NFL Week 11: Alex Smith's Hall of Fame campaign begins

Yes. RBs get hurt far more often than QBs and their careers are shorter.

It's why most NFL teams don't want their QBs to run much (or sometimes at all), and why most NFL teams these days will at least try to give significant carries to more than one RB, unless, like, say, Minnesota, they have no choice.


Edit: Damn, Rick you beat me to it. And said it more succinctly, too.
