    QB rating is heavily dependent upon completion percentage. What actually matters more, how many passes you complete or how many yards you gain and how many points you score?

    Tebow is a very ineffective QB. Stats support this. The tape supports this. And the fact that the Jags and the CFL are his last resorts support this.

    Enjoy spending your Christmas eve murdering your keyboard.

    And fuck Rake.

    it's dependent on a lot of factors, including not throwing picks. Which Tebow did well at. That he couldn't hit his receivers half the time should matter, though. I mean, that's a really major flaw. Throwing TD passes is important, but fulfilling a basic task of completion around 10% less than average (I didn't look this up - go fuck yourself if you want to argue about one percent or so) seems like not doing your job well.

    But yes, traditional NFL QBR is based on a factor of 4 greater on TDs than total completion percentage. So, yes. It matters more. But it doesn't overcome a radical flaw and you had to see that coming when comparing two QBs that are considered outside the top 20 in starting, that one completes 61% (above average) and the other as low as possible (I'll go out on a limb and say you've never had this level of emotional attachment on a guy that has a 46.5% comp%).


    YES> I CLEARLY UNDERSTANDING ENGLISH LANGUAGE. heh.
    Also, the liar thing might hold more weight if you didn't use it for every single thing, or if you didn't lie. Or claim I really believe something I've never said. Or if you didn't infer that when I say things you don't like, it makes you mad.

    So now let's go into why you won't give him any actual level of superlative, but are so critically and angrily averse to anyone saying anything bad about him.

    Let's pretend that somehow me saying the word "douchebag" means that my opinion is somehow invalid about his quarterbacking. This is what you're dying to get for Christmas. So let's say mine's invalid. You have a problem with pretty much anyone's opinion of Tebow here. Now let's go ahead and negate the urge you get to be like "OMG TWO PEOPLE AGREE WITH ME WHY ARE YOU AGAINST THE MAJORITY", because it's a holiday and that, too, would disagree with your opinion. Since the majority doesn't think he's all that good, and

    That number of leaps and suspensions of disbelief still don't explain why a supposed quarterback guru would become so emotionally attached to a QB who has trouble with basic accuracy.

    Actually it doesn't, which is why you don't have any statistics or anything except personal feelings.



    Sure, and it's something he needs to get better at. But I already pointed out that Eli Manning only completed 48.2% of his passes as a rookie. Obviously you and others didn't have the same kind of reaction to Eli Manning as Tebow, so clearly this isn't just about completion percentage.

    Uhm ... you're the one who admitted to having strong emotional feelings about the guy. I don't have any emotional attachment at all. I can't stand the Florida Gators and I'm not a Christian. I have no reason to defend Tebow other than the facts show that people are attacking him undeservedly.

    True, which I suppose is why you're flooding your posts with lies lately. If you tell a thousand, it somehow doesn't seem as bad as just telling a few.

    I've been critical of Tebow, so claiming that I oppose "anyone saying anything bad about him" is yet another lie. What I oppose is people being unfairly critical. It's fine to point out that Tebow is very inaccurate and that he has a terrible throwing motion. I've done so. It's also fine to point out that he's not great at reading defenses. I've done that too. It's also fine to say that he's a below average quarterback, as I've done that as well. What's ridiculous is pretending like he shouldn't be playing quarterback at all.

    I don't remember a ton of people lauding Eli for being great his rookie year. I'm glad you were able to find another player who completed under 50%.

    oh, no, I can tell. Which is why you're upset anytime anyone says anything bad about Tebow, that's you not having an emotional attachment.

    So it's okay to say a predetermined amount of negativity about Tim Tebow under your specific supervision and/or only if you say it. This isn't your opinion, by the way, it's mine, so you can save the OMG I DIDN"T SAY THAT, HOLD ON THIS IS WHAT YOU REALLY MEAN nonsense.

    There have actually been plenty. One of the rich ironies about the situation was that John Elway only completed 47.5% in his rookie season. And again, it's not about Tebow being "great." He wasn't and I never claimed he was. It's about people like you pretending that he shouldn't be a quarterback at all.

    How's that ironic? Elway played shittily as a rookie too? And you just happen to keep bringing up hall of famers and assumed future hall of famers. Not by accident.


    I guess by saying "like you" or "pretending" is your way of getting around attributing that to anyone, but still inferring it. Clever. I don't think that's the core of anyone's argument. It's generally that he's a poor and/or insignificant QB.

    Tim Tebow Is A Coddled Malcontent

    on this, you might have to find someone else to argue with (my guess - you will). I'm going to go enjoy my holidays with friends and families.
