MichelleWie needs to stop hating on the D. Not like our star player does steroids. /went there

Oh and fux Arizona. Thankfully no one cares about them.

I will say the Tebow backlash is annoying at this point. The only takes I ever see about Tebow at this point are 1: I think it's crazy that he's still winning, 2: I like him and want him to do well, and 3: OMG IM SO SICK OF EVERYONE SAYING HES GOOD AT QB. One thing I hardly ever see is anyone actually saying Tebow has good QB skills.

There's a pretty good reason for that. The regression to the mean is going to be painful for the people waving around their Tebowners.

But who are these people? Or are you not allowed to like Tebow because he has poor QB skills?

I mean I'll be perfectly honest, I love Tebow because I'm a Gator fan. When he wins I whip out my Tebowner. I think it's awesome that they run the option (although they didn't do much option against Chicago). I don't think he is a good passer. Am I the kind of person you're bitching about here?

No, what I'm bitching about is the ceaseless "Tebow-Tebow-Tebow" in the media and this ridiculous notion that it's his "leadership" and "clutchiness" that has somehow sparked the Broncos to this amazing winning streak and not the combination of better QB play (as bad as I think Tebow is as a quarterback, he's capable of much more than Kyle Orton, who sucks), a terrific defense and a Charmin-soft schedule.

Look at today's game. Everything I see on TV and read on the internet basically makes it sound like Tebow won the game by himself. Tebow didn't kick the 59-yard field goal with 10 seconds left to tie it; Tebow didn't make Marion Barber fumble in field goal range in OT; Tebow didn't kick the 51-yarder in OT to win it.

[haveacigar]

That's hardly a Tebow phenomenon. QBs have been given that treatment for decades. How much did Eli Manning get his balls washed after the 07 Super Bowl for being thoroughly mediocre the whole game?

[Kobie]

As depressing as the Bills are, I'm glad I'm not a Cowboys fan. Romo makes some unbelievable throws, and then he'll turn around and do the most colossally boneheaded thing imaginable. The throw he just made to set up that field-goal attempt (that was blocked) -- about three guys in the league can make that throw.

The Cowboys are the least Tebow team in the NFL. Two weeks in a row they lose on an iced kicker missing his second attempt.

[Kobie]

That's hardly a Tebow phenomenon. QBs have been given that treatment for decades.

But not without clear indications of their ability. Tebow's getting blown after games where he goes 10-for-30.

And anyway, I guess my point is, I don't really know how you're helping the situation by countering the cacaphony of annoying Tebow love with your own cacaphony of Tebow angst. Now it's just annoying all-around and nobody wins. Except Tebow, he always wins. God bless.

Yes. "He" won. Not the Broncos. Not the Gators. Not his football factory high school. Just Tebow.

This is exactly what I'm talking about.

God forbid anyone be tongue-in-cheek around here.

[ragecage]

Can we all just agree that Tebow will be the greatest QB in the History of sports and leave it at that?

[etothep]

Rumor has it that the NFL may be re-configuring the divisions next season

[ragecage]

Stupid **** easily the toughest.

Shіtty jobs division isn't a cakewalk
