True. I like the H-back option as it gives him more time to work a blocking assignment where as he would be devastated more than not when having to block on the line.

Keep in mind that Tebow has a better TD to INT ratio, yards per attempt average, yards per completion, touchdown %, int %, passer rating, rushing yards and has a 9-6 record as starter, compared to Grad's 6-14 record. He also has a playoff win under his belt.

But I guess Grad has a (slightly) higher completion %. Maybe that's the only stat that matters?

I would rather have Gradkowski on my team any day....

AJ green would be wasted with Tebow throwing the ball.

Not everything is a clear and dry as a record....

Tebow won those games because the D kept them in it the first 3 QTRs of every game where all he could do is run the ball... and couldnt complete a pass. I want a QB that isnt just good in the 4th QTR.

AJ Green would be wasted with Grad throwing the ball. Have you seen that guy throw? All he does is check down. I saw that in training camp, preseason and regular season. Tebow's stats are better across the board, not just in the win column. As for Tebow only being good in the 4th quarter, Grad isn't good in ANY quarter. At least Tebow would give you a shot to win. Grad had some solid defenses in TB, but he still had a losing record as starter there.

Tebow brings the Circus the one thing we dont want here.. incase you forgetten or havent watched any NFL news this year all they do is talk about the jets and there QB's...

Dalton is a good QB if we need a new backup DRAFT 1

There are plenty of athletes that do plenty of charitable things without it being publicized. Tebow just happens to get the media attention.

I'm sure he calls ESPN and requests the coverage. I'm sure he loves that his teammates resent him because of the constant coverage.

I don't think he seeks it out, but when it is available he plays it up. Just my opinion nothing more.

A lot of athletes do bigger and more consistent things than what this story entails and you never hear about it but because it is Tebow it is a huge deal.

You're completely entitled to your opinion, but I am just curious. What is an example of Tebow playing something up, and why do you think he does it? Are you in the camp that believes he is posturing for a post NFL career of being a public speaker etc?

If that's the case, I disagree because the constant attention is likely going to shorten his NFL career and cost him money there. Also, I have a feeling that once ESPN chews him up and spits him out, he will not be relevant enough to get any attention or make any money through other avenues.

There is no doubt in my mind that his NFL career will be short and I think he knows this. He has an identity, a niche if you will that allows him the attention without really needing to be that good of a player. He is naturally going to glam onto what he has going for him. He may even be using his position to get his word out and that is even ok.

Hey I honestly think he is a good guy, I just think he plays it up a bit. And like I stated before he is by far not the only player or organization doing good things.

Well I actually think I mostly agree with you. The only difference is that I think Tebow could have a decent career as a backup if not for all the attention that follows him. Other than that, I can't disagree with you much.

I don't think he has proven he can be a suitable back up in NY.

How so? He's not responsible for that train wreck. He's been the #2 all year and has completed 6 of 7 when called upon. He would've gotten a chance when Sanchez was benched, but he was injured at the time. Still is as far as I know.

He is suited for a specific offensive scheme IMO and would not fit well as a QB on most teams offense.

There have been gadget type schemes that have been successful but not long term (wildcat, west coast etc)

In a back up I want a QB that fits within the system and plays to those strengths. I just don't think you can plug Tebow in somewhere in a pinch and expect much.

I posted his stats in a normal offense in a previous post. He's actually played better in a normal offense, and most of that was as a rookie.

Not a big fan of stats.

Great in some cases but most of the time they are not a good indicator of all around play. I don't care if you go 99 yards on every possesion. If you can't get that 1 yard at the end you are worthless.

Unless your running an option offense i wouldnt want him that said he'd be a great backup for RG3...

I think you may have been quoting the wrong person this entire time. What indication did I give that I was arguing for Tebow? Im confused.
