Thread: McDaniels says Tim Tebow may play sooner than

You misunderstand. I'm not talking about his arm strength, I'm talking about what he's comfortable with and what is good at. Two games out 16 is no BFD.

Now, that is silly . . .

If the coach is not a good enough coach to see whether or not safeties are
playing back, then he should not be coaching at any level, let alone in the NFL.
Notice I said both the coach and the quarterback mentioned that. Notice I also
said I read a couple analyses about that. Notice I said those were not the
only instances, that there were others. BTW, I'll bet you ignored the MHR
article, too.

But I guess there are some fans here who are sure they still know better . . .

Yep and he also said that Orton did a great job this yet he didn't give a contract extension and he went out draft a quarterback in the first round noless. McDaniels also said Orton is his starter period, but now he's saying Tim may start sooner than later. What is ever more is not realizing coaches don't always tell the truth.

Sense this thread about Tebow and not Orton lets get back on Ok?

What does that have to do about whether the safeties were playing back? If
the coach said the safeties were playing back, what does that have to do
with his general comments about the roster at the conclusion of the season?
You're not making any sense.

And you are still ignoring everything else in my post, except for what
McDaniels said.

And I responded to what you said about Orton.

I don't think that by Coach McD stating that Orton is his starter = Coach McD not stating the truth. Orton was the starter last year, and right now, he is the starter. However, after training camp and preseason, that could change. Also, by saying that Tebow could play sooner than later, that does not indicate that he will BE the starter - it could indicate that he will play in certain situations.

He makes perfect sense actually. His point is that just because McDaniels says something to the media doesn't necessarily mean it's accurate. Newsflash: all coaches lie to the media, and they do it quite often. Maybe McDaniels made those statements about safetys playing back to protect Orton and take some pressure off of him.

Once again, totally ignoring the other accounts. I mentioned not only McDaniels,
but Orton and analyses that were written about it. I also alluded to an MHR
article that touched upon the issue as to whether Orton can and will throw
downfield. Did either of you bother to click on it?

Anyway, I guess you both have zeroed in on what McDaniels said, as if you
believe you can prove something by that . ..

as is the case with many teams.
the coaches job is to evaluate the players and put the best guys on the field.
if he were to come out and say that orton,tebow,quinn or brandstater is going to be our starter next season.......he would be bashed for not having an open competition (and rightfully so).
the fact is orton IS our starter,but mcD has to be hoping one of the other qb's takes the job,any coach would love to see a better player take any spot.
that means the team improves and his choices via FA and the draft were good ones.

Now that is perfect sense. Pay attention, everyone . . .

Maybe you can't see it but there huge difference in saying Orton is the starter period and Tim could start sooner rather than later. There also a big difference in saying Orton did everything asked of him and but then not giving him a contract extension and drafting a quarterback in the first round. There is ringing endorsement in that Carol. Please don't take that as slap at McDaniels, all head coaches are not always completely straight with the media.

Thank you. This is exactly what I'm saying.

There is also a huge difference in saying Orton is our starting quarterback period and Tebow could sooner rather than later.

McD saying Orton is the starter is not inaccurate. He is. As of right now.

So then, McDaniels did not contradict himself . . .

He said not to long ago "Orton is the starter period." There no wiggle room in that statement in that statement for saying that there is open competition.

He said at one point "Orton is the starter period." That statement doesn't sound like there is any wiggle room for having competition. Now he's saying "Tim could start sooner rather than later." I'm not kicking dirt in McDaniels face because all head coaches do that. They will also saying things to media to protect their players.
