Im not stating that Tebow has arrived or anything, but listening to Cowherd bash Tebow was sickening.
I sent him a little message:
Youre the perfect example of the polarizing personality of Tim Tebow. For some reason people, including you, seem to feel the obligation to state whether Tebow will either be a Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, etc,etc franchise QB, or a complete failure on the next level. As if we are each expected to state our opinion on his future in order to know 'who knows football' and who doesnt. I know....its your job. Happens all the time, just with a little more fervor with Tebow it seems. Wonder why that is.........hmm.
Stating that possible Broncos HC candidates are going to be limited because of the franchises stance on being devoted to Tebow, and comparing that to the Raider/Jamarcus Russell situation is close to ridiculous at this point and time. But continue to build your case.
As well, it seems that since you stated your opinion that Tebow will not succeed in the NFL, you feel obligated to point out that.....'people are going nuts because the guy completed 8 passes'.
Your view is negatively skewed because you have stated your stance on Tebow and you of course will continue to do so until youre backed in a corner and made to state otherwise. And you know its a pretty safe place to be, cause if you end up being wrong....you'll say....'My bad. I was wrong on Tebow, huh?"
But I think your belittling of his debut to be unfairly skewed..........if you compare it to Manning.....Brady.....Elway......Favre.......Monta na......Aikman......etc, etc.
Not that you have to change your stance on his future, but you definitely dont need to ridicule his first start, because the man made plays.
Ridiculous. Doesnt mean one way or another, on whether he will eventually pan out, but it ISNT Jamarcus Russell dude.
As for the HC candidates. How about a real HC that would come in, and coach to the players strengths? You state the organization is duping itself for wanting a HC to come in and work with Tebow. Any HC that doesnt believe he can win with Tebow at THIS point has no belief in his own abilities. So it would be the number of HCs that have confidence in their ability to coach, not the organization limiting the candidates. In other words....EVERY HC is awesome when Brady is under center....know what I mean?
Tebow has shown NO adverse traits to this point. He has NOT received reps with the first team offense, which when you look back on it, explains alot.
McDaniels didnt give first team reps to Cassell, nor Simms and Elway stated the other day how surprised he was to learn McD was not giving reps to Tebow in practice.....this entire year after training camp. Remember Cassell the first few games he started for NE? Unprepared. Did you see Chris Simms step in for Kyle Orton last year? I could not for the life of me understand how Simms could play so badly.
This past sunday, in a difficult offense, with limited reps, he played....and yet he managed the game under pressure, and scored points.
Did you look at Kyle Ortons stats the two weeks prior to that in the same offense?
How about against that same Raider defense? He completed 12 passes.......out of 29 attempts.
Seems to me the veteran with experience would do better than lowly Tebow who doesnt project to be a winner in the NFL.
Heres a twofer: The next Cowherd segment of your show, its called: The Cowherd KEYWORD of the day: INTANGIBLES.
