will tim tebow have a good nfl career?

He's the official backup.

that isn't a surprise, is it?

Apparently, he'll see playing time today in some designed packages too.

i'll fookin design him a package, outta sackcloth rope anna buncha brinks and ill toss im inna a fookin canal

Yeah it just means that they don't intend to use Quinn in any packages, unlike Tebow, but Quinn is still the backup I think.

NEW YORK -- Former Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow is working on an inspirational memoir.

Tebow is collaborating with Nathan Whitaker on "Through My Eyes," scheduled to come out in April. HarperCollins announced the book Monday.

The former University of Florida quarterback was drafted this year in the first round by the Denver Broncos. He has played in four games so far, scoring two touchdowns in 10 carries, but has yet to throw a pass in the regular season.

In a statement released by HarperCollins, the 23-year-old Tebow said his book would be a story "of faith, family and football" and inspiring people to "fulfill their dreams."

The Denver Broncos will give rookie quarterback Tim Tebow his first NFL start Sunday at Oakland, a team source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter on Saturday.

rooting against him so hard :D

too bad the qb position requires him to throw the ball

Tebow through 5 G / 2 GS: 46.1% completion, 4 TD, 1 INT, 75.1 rating, 31.8 rushing yds/game
Vick through 8 G / 2 GS: 44.2% completion, 2 TD, 3 INT, 62.7 rating, 36.1 rushing yds/game

tim tebow is the standard by which all future NFL quarterbacks will be measured.

tim tebow: as good as michael vick, but without the vicious dogfighting!

try and top this andrew luck

anyone care to put cammy cam's stats up there

Tebow has also been sacked infinity times.

anyone care to put cammy cam's stats up there

why would you? cam just isn't a winner. tebow - he just wins games.

TEBOW

tebow -- he just wins games

greatest season by a quarterback ever.

better season: tim tebow or aaron rogers?

who throws a better pass: tim tebow (broncos) or fred armisen (portlandia)?

i did not read this but at the same time i feel like its relevant http://theclassical.org/post/12980244535/tim-tebow-magical-white-person

Simmons: "It’s almost like Tebow is playing with a handicap, like he’s overcoming some sort of disability."

Haha

feels wrong to say, but bill simmons otm

is tim tebow the next john beck, is the better question. dare to dream.

actually he kinda nails it:

1. I love how he drives every NFL expert, every saber nerd and most talking heads and sports columnists insane. They can’t handle a world in which Tebow wins ugly and sports defy explanation. It throws their belief system into total flux. The venom/condescension/disbelief pours out of them. It’s awesome. I can’t get enough of it.

2. Along those same lines, how funny is it when announcers try to rationally announce his games, run out of ways to say, "Another terrible pass by Tebow," pretend there’s logic involved, then eventually give up and just start laughing when he comes through late? I listened to Tebow’s fourth-quarter comeback in the car last night — the radio announcers (Ian Eagle and someone else) literally didn’t know what to say. They were just giggling like school kids. How can you explain this? Has there ever been a player who couldn’t even be successfully announced? During last night’s final drive, Eagle became so excited about Tebow's bowling over a Jets defensive back that he actually said the words, " … just got a mouthful of Tim Tebow!!!!"

3. I have watched something like 1,200 quarterbacks play that position the same way, or relatively the same way. I have never, ever, not ever, seen anyone play quarterback like Tim Tebow plays the position. It’s constantly entertaining beyond the scrambling. You never know if he’s going to complete even the simplest 5-yard pass to a wide-open guy; by that same token, you’re never surprised when he hits someone 40 yards downfield on the fly. It’s almost like Tebow is playing with a handicap, like he’s overcoming some sort of disability. He’s willing himself to become a decent NFL quarterback despite massive odds against him. I love it. He’s like Rocky Balboa crossed with Strap from Hoosiers crossed with some sports movie QB in a film that hasn’t been made yet.

4. I can’t remember another non-superstar athlete generating more feedback from my readers these past few weeks. If it were Tiger, Kobe, Favre or whomever, it would make sense. But the QB of a 5-5 team who completes 45 percent of his passes? Before we get to my Week 11 Quick Picks, here’s a sampling just from last night and this morning.

there is a logic to it, it doesnt defy explanation, the broncos opponents have averaged ~15pts in tebows starts

God at work imo

there have even been other bad nfl quarterbacks that played like him

he passes to the scoreboard

if opposing teams had scored the nfl average 22pts in each of his starts he would be 1-4 instead of 4-1!

what are you, a saber nerd

the defense is playing well but i wonder how much of that has to do w/ the fact that the broncos never pass the ball

but they also dont move the ball much so id bet it m/l equals out

right i just mean i wonder if the PPG is a bit misleading

i don't know if he "nails it." my problem with tebow -- aside from a general hate for the florida gators and his pious attitude -- is that he throws an embarrassingly bad pass. it's ugly, almost painful, to watch. he might "be a winner," tho i think mostly he's catching defenses off-guard, but it's just horrible to watch.

what im thinking jordan is denver runs a lot so that would imply fewer possessions than an average game thereby depressing scoring, BUT what if because they suck they dont get many first downs so they actually do end up w/roughly an average number of possessions a game, would be curious to see these actual stats

it's possible

sportswriters continuing to ignore that he is an outspoken conservative pro life christian who mentions jesus at the start of every interview and TALKS TO GOD throughout the game shockah
say, maybe that's why people are so into him? onward xtian soldiers and all that

like whenever it IS mentioned, it's kind of like an "oh yeah btw" but it's at least 80% of the reason he's got america's attention right now instead of oh, andy dalton

well, that and the fact that he was widely considered THE GREATEST COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYER EVER. E-V-E-R

and yet, now, he is the WORST passer of any quarterback i've seen in the NFL.

well, that and the fact that he was widely considered THE GREATEST COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYER EVER. E-V-E-R

wait really?

there have even been other bad nfl quarterbacks that played like him

like who?

widely really might be pushing it

i mean, he was considered one of the best players ever, yes. but there was certainly no consensus.

i think that's part of what makes him fun to watch!

yeah that's part of it but these last few games have been endlessly entertaining regardless
i mean i think that people just naturally root for shitty players with obvious flaws but maybe that's just me

defenses are going to scheme to him and shut down his current M.O. faster than they did to Michael Vick in 2001.

from there, he'll either A. work on his passing game and become an actual threat in the pocket, which will make scheming against him much more difficult, or B. he'll have plenty of time to learn the Tight End position

what would be awesome is if they give Orton some snaps too, say on 3rd and anything longer than 5

what would be awesome is if they give trade Orton some snaps too, say on 3rd and anything longer than 5 to a YMCA flag football squad
