  1. Nope, Fitz would do well to hit the gym to get that arm strength up. I watched Tebow throughout college and he throws the ball a lot harder now.

     

    I don't think lifting weights has much at all to do with how far or hard you can throw the ball. In fact, it is discouraged. Would be curious to hear if there is a training program to the contrary for QB's, but whether a guy presses 300 or 500 pounds doesn't correlate to arm strength when throwing the ball.

  2. This is the thing that bothers me. He's a great person - why? Do you know the number of NFL players, let alone professional athletes, that have for decades set up foundations, charity events and camps for underprivileged kids, etc. etc. etc.?

     

    The only thing that seems to make Tim Tebow a "good person" is that he uses the words Jesus Christ, Lord or Savior in every sentence, talks in standard sports cliches and hasn't had sex. I mean, the guy was a National Championship winning QB and won the Heisman, then got drafted in the first round. Wow, really taking a chance and rooting on the underdog aren't we? Tom Brady was drafted in the 6th round and was nothing but an afterthought, and all the guy has done is play better than an QB in the last decade while ranking among the best of all time. But no, Tebow's the underdog, Brady's the devil.

     

    And forget that, what about Alex Smith? The guy was dead and buried by not only the media and fans, but coaches. Did Jim Harbaugh sprinkle fairy dust on him and magically transform him into a respectable QB that can go toe-to-toe with Drew Brees? Well, I don't know, because ESPN, the NFL Network and every other news outlet was too busy talking about a guy who can't complete 50% of his passes

     

    And what about the fact that TJ Yates made it just as far as Tebow, and yet how many TJ Yates stories were there?

     

    This is media generated story, and the NFL is pushing it 100% because it's the anti-Michael Vick story, which the league had to suffer through for years.

     

    Maybe John Elway can spend the offseason with the guy and teach him how to throw to his right, which he currently cannot do, and maybe he'll turn into a respectable QB, but referring him as anything more than a below-average QB, who in the games he started had more sacks and turnovers than any other QB in that same time frame, muddles the story and demeans all of the charitable work done by NFL players that is conveniently ignored.

     

    +1000 There's some weird people out there. Anyone spending an inordinate amount of time crusading on internet message boards about this freak show has serious issues.

  3. Yeah, well you call me out specifically, so why don't you go and see if I ever said that. I'm not answering for everybody who ever has said anything.

     

    Hmmm, you seem to be lumping everyone elses comments back to me. I just asked that his many supporters show up, win or lose. I thought it might be amusing, and it has been.

  4. For 3 staight weeks this thread wasn't updated. But today after the Pitt game it's at the top of page 1. I think that says all that needs to be said about Tebow supporters.

     

    Well do you want a new Steve thread? Or Mort on the Bills?

     

    How 'bout his supporters show up, win or lose? See everyone after the New England game :devil:

     

    You do realize that there was more than one Tebow thread, and most of the discussion had turned to the one about Bill Maher.

     

    Didn't see too much Tebow love in this thread after that embarrassment. What thread are the Tebow supporters hiding in this week? :lol:

  5. This was a good thing, unless the Phins end up with Cowher (which I doubt).

     

    Love seeing the Dolphins cry!

     

    Cowher has already turned down 3 teams this year (didn't say who), plus Dolphins have confirmed Jeff Ireland is making the personnel decisions there no matter who the coach is, so that pretty much rules guys like Cowher, Fisher, Gruden, etc. out.

  6. For 3 staight weeks this thread wasn't updated. But today after the Pitt game it's at the top of page 1. I think that says all that needs to be said about Tebow supporters.
