In all seriousness, everybody needs to remember that Tebow's two big NFL comeback wins came against the 2010 Texans defense and the 2011 Dolphins, two historically elite units of failure and heartlessness. We need to see what Tebow can do against teams that aren't saddled with so much WIL.

I don't do prop bets on here since Black Friday...just too tough to enforce payouts and I don't want to risk getting freerolled. Even with that said, I don't think Tebow will put up great traditional stats at all. He gets most of his value from running and winning.

Cmon he beat a winless team in a game where they honored him (lol) and even one of his former teammates said it was impressive. Nevermind that they needed an onside kick recovery and 2pt conversion.

glad someone else can finally see the truth....real nfl players fully recognize how good he is, yet random internet posters think they know more, lol

ok, come up with some good terms. What exactly do you disagree with me about though? Keep in mind, I'm not saying he'll put up good traditional stats.

Most rushing TDs by a rookie QB: Newton with 7; Young and Tebow with 6. Shocked that Vick wasn't on the list, or that QBs from the 50s and before didn't have more.

In the last 2 years, the Broncos are 2-2 with Tebow starting, 4-14 with him not starting.

Tebow just wins games.

Come on, this is an absurd analogy....

Veteran players often times get overrated by other players, coaches, media because they act as if those veterans are as good as they used to be. In reality, Kobe is a top 10 player but definitely not as good as Lebron/Dwight at this point in time. However, saying a top 10 player is the best player really isn't that far of a stretch at all.

Now compare that to this situation which involves a young player. Many here are saying that hes not good at all, while real life NFL players are showering him with praises. Its not analogous at all to the Kobe situation. This would be like taking a player all NBA players think is really good(Deron Williams for example) and claiming he sucks.

Seems like a nice guy, glad to see him have a couple of nice moments. Has a role in this league, just not one like starting QB which requires throwing the football downfield.
