Thread: Paxton Lynch fighting to make roster: 'I love it here'

"Obviously you think about it, you're not happy about it, but I've got to do what I've got to do with the hand that's been dealt to me," Lynch said of sitting at No. 3 on the depth chart, via ESPN's Jeff Legwold. "And that's what I'm doing, I'm working my tail off."

What does he mean ,"...hand that was dealt to [him]?" If he did his job better then any other QB on the roster over the past 3 off-seasons, which is what a 1st round pick is supposed to do, he'd be the starter.

He really seems to have a general lack of self awareness.

I wouldnt read to much into it, he is just stating he has found himself in a situation he doesnt like and is trying to find a way to be better. Wont work at this stage but thats what his comment is all about.

Piling on him is boring and easy.

He thinks he's played very well during his time here. Big meanie Elway is just being unfair to him.

Yes, Beef...I'm saying we should publicly execute him, preferably slowly with a rusty butter knife.... Would you care to do the honors for us?

The funny thing about Tebow is I think he COULD HAVE worked out IF so many people did not convince him that he needed to completely change the way he throws. Not my original contention. I read a comment by Joe Montana in regards to that, and he had first suggested that could be a problem.

Was his throwing motion great? No. Did it work? Yeah, it sure did. He broke a record for completion % at UF. He threw it very accurate. It was a bit of a slow wind up. I have seen QBs with great throwing motions that were horrible, and we have seen QBs with not so great throwing motions thrive. Like Bernie Kosar for example.

Talk about unfair situations.

One, going into that 2011 season remember there was an owners lockout. Players were not allowed to meet or "practice." There were no workouts with anyone the entire offseason. PFM said how important that was. At least to him it was. Tebow never did that.

Two, arrives at TC as backup and never works with the first team for good reason. He struggles mightly with the over tinkering of his throwing motion. Which causes more problems than it solved. He is woefully bad at throwing. Something he absolutely thrived at in college, HS etc.

Three, he is shoved into the lineup as starter when the Broncos are 1 and 4. No work at all with the first team, just shoved in there. Elway, in his mind saw an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. He could shut the fans up who were chanting for Tebow. He could also SUCK FOR LUCK and get that much desired first pick that so many teams desired. Especially Elway.


Then something strange happened. Weirdness. We were all mystified how Tebow would suck for 55 minutes of a game, and then turn into superman over the last 5 minutes. My theory has everything to do with that over tinkering with the throwing motion. He, instead of thinking about making plays, would be thinking about his throwing motion. It did not come natural. As a result, he was inaccurate during the game. THEN, they went into hurry up offense. No huddle, and spread out. He STOPPED THINKING. He then became the playmaker that he naturally is. BTW, one of the greatest playmakers football has ever seen at any level. Really ever. That is what he was. That is what he always was.

Could he have worked out? I think so.....IF he was not convinced that his throwing motion was so horrific that he could not possibly play in the pros with it.

THERE, my TEBOW TAKE.

muy caliente...

Though, I don't completely disagree on the tinkering with his throwing motion. I still don't think he'd have worked out because he was a college QB. He didn't have the skillset necessary to make the transfer to the NFL.
