Tebow loses to the Pats and the haters say, "SEE! Tebow sucks."
The Pats win 41-23 and the lovers say, "Well, excuse excuse excuse."
IT'S PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL PLAYED BY PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES!
Good teams lose. Bad teams lose. And both good and bad teams can win too! Good players have bad games. Bad players have bad games and the same for both in having good games.
Here's my point...Aaron Rodgers and crew just lost to the Chiefs. THE CHIEFS! While chasing an undefeated season. Where is all the "Aaron Rodgers sucks!" talk? It's ok for Rodgers to have a bad game but not Tebow? Let Timmy T play a couple years and then let's evaluate his QB skills and success.
I'm sick of hearing people say, "Tebow has only beaten bad teams" or "He only beat the Bears because there was no Forte or Cutler." IT'S TEBOW VS BEARS DEFENSE! NOT VERSUS CUTLER AND FORTE!
And if he has 7 wins against "bad teams"...then why aren't you going to some thread about those teams and putting them down? It's just sickening to see WEAK MINDED people let the media tell them how to feel.
Tebow is just another player in the NFL who is doing something pretty amazing to watch. Things like this have happened before. He has a lot of work to do with passing but if you're one of those IDIOTS who knows one phrase, "he sucks" then realize that that goes for a decent amount of other QB's in the leagues. According to your narrow tunnel vision of hate, Gabbert, Sanchez, Ponder, Orton, Moore, McCoy, Skelton, Painter and more all suck. If you agree, then go spend your time evenly hating them too. Not just Tebow
Why would anyone say something bad about Rodgers? Yes...everyone loses...but he's proven that he can win and has the stats to back it up, as well as break records every week. It's not the fact that Tebow had a bad game and lost to the Patriots. It's that he has a bad game just about every game, yet everyone makes it out to be as if he demolished every team he's played from start to finish when that's FAR from the truth.
And yes...Tebow did face the Bears defense. And did you see how he played against them? He was absolutely terrible. And if Cutler and Forte were playing...he would be on a 2 game losing streak right now. He may not be going head to head against Cutler and Forte...but to say the outcome would have been the same with those 2 playing means you clearly didn't follow the Bears before their injuries.
You say the people putting Tebow down are "weak minded" by letting the "media tell them how to feel". I don't know what shows you're watching of late...but all the media has told ME is that Tebow is absolutely amazing. It was very nice this week to watch all the highlights in full...without having to hear how great Tebow is in between every one of them.
And you're right...all those other QB's suck too. But you know why I didn't make a thread about them? Because I didn't see 10+ threads talking about how great they were after they scored 1 TD in a game. Where ARE the Skelton threads talking about how much of a "winner" he is? I don't think he's good. I've watched his games too. Beanie Wells, the defense and Pattrick Peterson on special teams are carrying the Cardinals right now...not Skelton. He's just taking the snaps. I just pose the rhetorical questions of "why aren't you praising Skelton for winning" because I want to find the hypocrites around here.
And the reason why I didn't comment on your post originally is because, as you said, you read page 1 then skipped to page 64-65. What I told you right now I've said before (if not multiple times already). But since it's such a hot thread...I figured I'd respond.
