NFL Week 13: Time to wallow in the Mirer

If Dallas wins, it's back in the playoff picture at 6-6.

 

I never thought I'd say this, but Dez Bryant has become a really good player.

 

Can we now regard the whole "Tebow just wins" fairy tale to be falsified?
The way the Broncos are playing this year, positioning themselves for a 2 seed with almost the same exact same lineup plus an actual professional QB, shows that if anything they UNDERachieved with Tebow leading them last season.

 

Only in theory.

 

Tebow is not as good as Peyton Manning. So stipulated.

 

Man law!

 

And the worshippers still can't admit they were wrong.

 

Wrong about what? That a team can win games in the NFL, even playoff games, with Tebow as its starting quarterback? That's an established fact. It's in the record books. How likely is a team to do so with Tebow as its starter is a question that depends on the team. But forced to do so out of dire emergency, the Broncos did win with the guy.

 

Again with the intellectual dishonesty. The worshippers insisted on giving him credit for the victories no matter how badly he played. I hate to pull out the Trent Dilfer comparison, but it's appropriate. Actually, that's probably unfair to Dilfer.

 

They went 8-8.
Let's say that again: the team went 8-8.
Strange valuation of winning.

 

I don't think his talent was ever the issue, it was whether or not the snakes in his head would stop writhing long enough for him to play with consistency.
