Okay gentlemen, a quick question here. Why do you think Tim is having trouble with learning the offense? The offense is new for everyone even Sanchez who seems to be okay running it so far. Kerley is another person who is having issues so much so that Rex called him out on it. Thoughts?
In part also, he is a kinesthetic learner due in part to his dyslexia. In today's learning environment, it's a very real learning disability. Although, they compensate in different ways, it does delay progress, especially compared to auditory/visual learners who are readily able to learn via the traditional classroom setting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinesthetic_learning
Umm the link added has this piece in it. "Although the concept of learning styles is popular among educators in some countries (and children and adults express preferences for particular modes of learning), there is no evidence that identifying a student's learning style produces better outcomes; on the contrary, there is substantial evidence that the meshing hypothesis (that a student will learn best if taught in a method deemed appropriate for the student's learning style) is invalid.[6] Well-designed studies "flatly contradict the popular meshing hypothesis".[6] So maybe he just doesn't have the mental acuity necessary to compete in a complex system?
Kerley called out for not learning the offense? Not what I read. I'm pretty sure he got called out for being out of shape.
The wiki article was linked to assist in defining kinesthetic learning. It wasn't meant to be a defense of the validity of learning styles. The citation wiki lists as refuting the validity of learning styles doesn't state that differing learning styles don't exist. Merely that educators shouldn't attempt to change methods of teaching to individually address differing learning styles. They themselves have been challenged.
aaaaaaand that is why wikipedia is not respected as a source today! people need to actually read through the applicable citations before copy/pasting wiki....
He also only needed 10 completions It's not like he was throwing 3 yard passes all day and having Jerry Rice take them to the house.
316 yards, 132 YAC.... So 184 yards came in the air on just 10 completions. That's 18.4 yards per completion if you want to discount the YAC yards...Still very good by any measure. So try again...
Was there a story or something saying Tebow was struggling to understand the offense? Not that I couldn't believe it I just wanted to see where this was coming from.
Correct -- he made 4 throws that are/were very uncharacteristic of Tebow and the Steelers defense in that 2nd Quarter that accounted for a total of 179 yards (not taking into account how many were YAC, too lazy to research that).
yeah except 184 passing yards per game is really really bad in a passing friendly league. so there is that. Does it matter much much if it takes 5 or 20 passes to get to 184? Its a really bad game in the NFL. Thats what you guys refuse to acknowledge. Yes he did it in 10 passes, but you cant live like that for 16 games. EVENTUALLY he has to be able to complete more than 47% of his passes.
