That's why you have to consider the source and why all this TT media circus IS nothing more than being "airtime filler"

IIRC the only argument I’ve made about Tim Tebow is that he doesn’t suck, is a good leader, and makes others around him better.
As for the Denver defense: Are they below average, average, above average? Who knows exactly? But I do know if you’re a good defense you are going to be ranked higher than 20th in the NFL.

There are dozens of people on ESPN. Just as there are for FNC, CNN, MSNBC, etc. One person saying something doesn’t mean he/she is speaking for the whole network.

Come on man, that 20th ranking dont mean shit. Go back and take a look at those Tebow quarterbacked games and analyze how that defense played in those wins. They played a huge role in them.

So it’s not enough that he took over a 1-4 team and lead them to a division title with arguably the worst set of offensive weapons in the NFL and the 20th ranked defense. No, no. In order to prove he doesn’t suck not only does he have to beat good-great teams with a below average team, but he has to have good stats against them as well.
Yeah, and if Tebow didn’t suck so much I’m sure the Broncos would have a first round bye as well.
Also in the games they played against good teams that Denver defense you keep going on and on about averaged giving up 43 points and 414 yards per game.

Once again the “great is the opposite of sucking so if you say a player doesn’t suck you are saying they are great” logic.
That makes as much sense as saying “black is the opposite of white so if you say your car isn’t black that means you are saying it’s white.”

While it has evolved slightly, in order to ascertain your general thesis one need look no further than the thread title.
QBs (especially high profile ones) generally get more credit than they deserve for wins and more blame than they deserve for loses. This is the way of the NFL.
Also to the media the credit belongs to whoever the better story dictates it belongs to.
Tebow was the biggest story in sports and one of the biggest stories in the country.
Almost no one gave a shit about the Denver defense.

The news media is in the business of making money. They make money by getting better ratings. Tim Tebow is great for ratings. It’s really as simple as that.
As for Tebow sucking: I wonder how many QBs who sucked took over below average-terrible 1-4 teams (or worse) and led them to a division title with arguably the worst set of offensive weapons and a defense that ranked 20th in the NFL (or worse).

It seems to me that as you go higher in the defensive rankings the defenses look better and better so there must be some validity to it.
It their wins Tebow usually had a passer rating over 90 and the defense usually played well.
In their loses Tebow usually played poorly and the defense usually played poorly.
They won and lose as a team.
Without Tebow they don’t make the postseason and without the defense playing better they don’t make the postseaon, IMO.

My argument is proving I haven’t really watched Tebow’s game because I don’t share your opinion that the 20th ranked defense in the NFL is considered good?
That’s about as ignorant as saying someone who doesn’t share your political opinions doesn’t understand the issues.
As for your claim that I have “no response”: that’s simply not true. I have stated that playing well in some guys doesn’t cancel out looking bad in others.
Case in point: You say the defense has allowed 15 or fewer points in about half their games with Tebow. Well guess what, that QB you seem to think sucks had a passer rating over 90 in about half of his games. I guess that means he is a good QB because we are only concentrating on what supports our case and completely ignoring what contradicts it, right?
Of course that is absurd. A QB is not judged by half his games in a season just as a defense is not judged by half their games in a season.
As for me believing that Tebow is the reason the Broncos went from 1-4 to 8-8, we have already been over this. I have stated repeatedly that Tebow is ONE OF the reasons Denver won a division title. Just as the defense is one of the reasons. If you disagree then by all means feel free to point out where I claimed Tebow was the sole reason the Broncos won the division.

You don’t appear to be a big fan of facts (and no, considering your own personal opinion as fact doesn’t count), so I know you don’t want to hear this, but here it is anyway:
In Denver’s wins Tebow usually had a passer rating over 90 and the defense usually played well.
In Denver’s loses Tebow usually played poorly and the defense usually played poorly.
They won and lost as a team and without Tebow they wouldn’t have been able to turn their season around just as without the defense playing better they wouldn’t have been able to turn their season around.
You are free to believe whatever you like, but to think the defense is the reason the team turned it around while Tebow played no role is beyond ignorant.
I acknowledged that the defense is part of the reason Denver won the division. It’s a shame that your rabid hatred of the kid and your pride won’t allow you to do the same for Tebow.
And “take solice” in knowing that a guy you hate with a passion took over a below average-terrible 1-4 team and despite having arguably the worst set of offensive weapons in the NFL and the backing of the 20th ranked defense, he was able to lead that below average team to its first division title in over half a decade.

I will say this in favor of the Tebow haters in this thread: at least none that I can recall have claimed or implied that the reason Tebow was given the starting job was that because his skin color is white and if he was black he wouldn’t have.
