The Dean Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 OMG Dean you totally misinterpreted my sarcasm. I'll be super clear right now. Tebow sucks. He always has sucked. He always will suck. There are a lot of other players with experience that suck too. Who cares? Edit: I got spun around a little. What just happened here? Yup. My bad. It's shocking that others don't see that. Well maybe not so shocking when you see some of the user names. I'm still not up to speed on who is who, as there are some new users and some who have changed their handles. But you can just smell the stupid coming off a few of these clowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumbalaya Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Fitz would have been the perfect mentor for EJ and not a bad back-up. It wasn't Fitz's fault the front office ran out and signed him to a bog contract after five games. Even though Fitz turned in a Lee "take the money and run" Evans type of year, Fitz would still be one of the best back-ups in the league and probably would have saved our season last year. But then we would not have been able to trade up that far for Sammy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Gun Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Tebow 38.5" vertical Manuel 34.0" vertical yeah, but how does Tebow compare to Chuck Norris? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transient Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 yeah, but how does Tebow compare to Chuck Norris? Careful. The mere mention of that Norris fraud sets Kiko on a rampage. And for the record, the earth is deflected downward by 30.5 inches during Kiko's vertical leap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truth on hold Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 How about this. He has played in 35 NFL games and has 16 starts. That's WAY more experience than any QB on the Bills. And over that time his passing % is 47.9. Do you think the Bills can win with a player who has that low of a completely percentage? He simply never caught on the NFL game. No other team is interested, doesn't that tell you something? His QBR is 75.3, comparable to EJs 77.7. But unlike EJ (and this franchise in over a decade) he has a winning record and has been to playoffs. Remember the context is bringing him in as a backup to win some games ... he's proven he can ... not to replace EJ. Because our existing backups look apocolyptically bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EJ has an upside and we need to see if he can get there, Tebow has none--we've seen it all. QBing a great team to the playoffs isn't that big of a deal. Look what that same team did without him the next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also since we have talent every where then EJ should have no problem getting this team to the playoffs, and that's not happening.

TC in St. Louis Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Our backups played poorly last night, but I think there were reasons. There was no game planning against the Steelers. The Steelers were running a lot more stunts and blitzes than is the norm during preseason. Cyrus was a turnstile. The pass rush got to all the QB's last night. I'm not worried about the backups. They played like crap, but there were reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was upgraded with welker, among others. And Manning's first year with broncos failed to outdo tebows as they lost their first playoff game. Now I'm not saying tebow>manning, but to claim manning didn't have more talent around him and engineered a massive turnaround is false too Edited August 18, 2014 by Joe_the_6_pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elway doesn't like him as a QB that much is clear, because they wanted to get rid of the media distraction, which is why no one wants to bring him in. It's not Tebows fault that the media, for some unknown reason, wants make a story out of every thing he does. The other thing it wasn't the "same team". It was upgraded with welker, among others.

It's not Tebows fault that the media, for some unknown reason, wants make a story out of every thing he does. But you think The Bills, with a lesser team, and without a real top guy like Elway, are better suited to handle the inevitable media distraction? For a backup QB?

truth on hold Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 That's what Ive been saying from the start Dean. I think he deserves another chance, certainly as a backup, clearly on this team where you cant possibly tell me Lewis and Tuel give us a better chance to win, yet its unfortunate he's not getting that chance due to media concerns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtDart Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Tim Tebow is a football player, and while he is unspectacular as a QB, I would be fine with bringing him in here to compete as a back-up. Signing him would be an instant upgrade over Tuel & Lewis. Can anyone deny that? Most reasonable argument I have heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
