It's many different things going on at the same time. But the part that is relevant to Tebow's improvement is using footwork to create timing and on-time throws. This is all my opinion, but he passes up throws because he's not mechanically ready to throw it. He doesn't throw to an anticipatory spot because his body does not get ready and assume the throw will be made. Occasionally, he takes a stab at it, and throws one off-rhythm, and makes an errant throw. (Which is detractors love to cherish, relive, and bring up). This would all be a waste of time if he didn't throw such beautiful passes down the field. He's programmed for long chunks, or else take off. He's got to re-program.
The funniest part about this video is the beginning where the narrator is saying look how bad Tebow sucks...On this game winning throw.... Kind of defeats the purpose of your argument if the evidence you are using to support your claim that he sucks is a game winning touchdown. Favre, Rivers, Kosar...none of those guys had (or have) good prototyical throwing motions, but all were good QB's....It is the end result that matters. Importance of mechanics are overrated. If great mechanics were the end all, be all, then Jimmy Clausen would be a pro bowler.
This is why it has to be one of the most ridiculous fail videos I have ever seen. "Look how much he sucks as he sticks a dagger into the Steelers in overtime....."
And not only was the result of the play a dagger, the ball throw was a frozen rope, over 20 yards in the air, right on target and in stride.
Which would explain why it was 80 yard touchdown and not just and excellent throw. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Elway had to get rid of Tebow for a few reasons but one of them is obvious. First Seasons in the NFL: Passing - QB John Elway ---- 123 of 259, 47.5% for 1,663 yds, 6.4 ypa, 7 TD's, 14 Ints, PER 54.9 Passing - QB Troy Aikman --- 155 of 293, 52.9% for 1,749 yds, 6.0 ypa, 9 TD's, 18 Ints, PER 55.7 Passing - QB Mark Sanchez - 196 of 364, 53.8% for 2,444 yds, 6.7 ypa, 12 TD's, 20 Ints, PER 63.0 Passing - QB Tim Tebow ----- 167 of 353, 47.3% for 2,383 yds, 6.8 ypa, 17 TD's, 9 Ints, PER 75.1
Just watched Lebron James brick key free throws with less than a minute to go, down by one point to the Pacers and ended up losing. There's something to be said for how Clutch Tim Tebow is. Some guys don't get rattled in the biggest of moments. That is a huge trait to have, and now the Jets have a player like that ... when the moment is the biggest and requires nerves of steel, Tebow has shown he can get it done.
Really? What about buffalo and kc last year? Really got it done. If the AFC west didn't blow, tebow doesn't make out to the playoffs and no one would be talking about tebow as a legitimate nfl QB. Really got it done in KC the first time with two completions. I do not think he has beat a team that has seen him twice as the starter. Maybe sd from 2010 to last year. I really don't understand the clutch part. He plays like a bad HS QB all game, then gets lucky at the end against bad teams, including the jets last year.
All you got is "if this, if that", "lucky", blah blah. Bottom line is your opinion isn't important, you're a message board jagoff like the rest of us. Get over it.
The fucked up because they were afraid of the run. Even stacking 9 in a box Tebow had 50 yards and a TD. if they did not stack 9 in a box, he would have rushed for 125 + , Steelers can't have it both ways.
So you are saying unless Tebow went 13-0 and a superbowl win then he sucks...what is your point? QBs have bad games man. Oh yeah I forgot Tebow can't. Here in case you missed the clutch part: six 4th quarter comeback victories most EVER in first 16 games by an NFL starting QB. So maybe the fact that its an all time record might lend credence to the clutch part. Also I am sure you are in this group of NFL fans: 1. Tebow will not be a starting QB in the NFL 2. Tebow will not start in Denver 3. Tebow will not win games as a starting QB in Denver 4. Tebow will not get to the playoffs as the starting QB in Denver 5. Tebow will not win a playoff game as the starting QB in Denver. 6. Tebow will not win the superbowl as a starting QB in Denver hey on a positive note, you finally go it right! it's laughable how the argument was such a moving target last year. Merril Hoge literally said the stuff i just wrote. From "he wont be a QB in the NFL" to "he wont win a superbowl LOL" all in his first year as a starter
I guess technically just about every pass completed in the NFL is a screw up by the defense in some way or another. Have I got that right? Seems like I heard something about football many years ago about taking advantage of what the defense gives you - is that not appropriate any longer? I don't know - I'm getting old and don't remember things very well.
For the Chargers, the order was reversed -- after beating him, but claiming he had more success in the second half (he took over in the second half that game), the Chargers blamed it on game-planning. Then they lost to him when they had a chance to prepare. For the Raiders, they beat him the first time they played him. Then lost decisively 38-24 the next they played Tebow. ANd his passer rating was 98. (He supposedly plays lousy for 3 quarters, except when he doesn't, like against the Raiders, Minnesota, and the first Patriots game). The point of these examples is not that they are conclusive or prove anything -- it's just to show how critics tend to be very selective in crafting their arguments to discount what he does. The critics should just stick to the obvious, and repeat this -- "Tim Tebow does not tend to throw quick, decisive passes from a clean pocket, throws that are one time and on target at close range. But he is off the charts in everything else, and therefore he has been able to win by overcoming these things. Time will tell if he is able to improve his weaknesses enough to be great, because no one can play on a sustained basis with a hole in his game. Defenses will eventually exploit it." That's a defensible criticism. It's all that needs to be said.
Because Tebow is a young player still developing his game, the arguments to discount what he does are hyper-critical. Its unrealistic to have expectations so high for a guy who has only started what, 16 total games. On the flipside, if you've been in the league 7 years or more and you're still struggling with some of what the pundits say about Tebow, then sure, its valid to feel as if the guy "will never" do XYZ. But its hard to bash and criticize a guy who is winning ball games, division titles, and playoff games as someone who will "never, ever, ever" be a quarterback as someone like Meril Hoge says. Its like saying Blake Griffin will never win a championship because of XYZ. You don't know what's gonna happen, and because the guy has talent and works hard, he can develop.
Bannon - I agree with about everything you have said but on a side note isn't that defensible criticism accurate for about every young QB in their first 16 NFL starts? There are some exceptions but very few. Hard to make any absolute predictions on the data available, good or bad.
