Out of the Blue

Wow, Tim Tebow coming to the Jets? Just when I thought the hype couldn't escalate, Tebowmania moves to New York. Just wow. Well, I love a good dose of chaos (as long as it doesn't involve my team), so this should be awesome to watch. Where's my popcorn?

Alright, I didn't see many of Tebow's games, but in all of the ones I did see it was impossible to argue that he was actually a good player. He had lucky break after lucky break against truly atrocious teams, and then he beat an injured Steelers team.

Right. I'm not saying he's a good QB. He might never BE a good QB. (though he actually played very well against the Steelers, their injuries notwithstanding.)

All I'm saying is he was a ROOKIE QB. I don't think there's ever been a rookie QB that's ever been as lambasted as much as he is. Even Ryan Leaf and JaMarcus Russell didn't get this much shit. And they were far, far worse.

Running the ball on every play like he does, he wouldn't last more than a couple of seasons as a starter.

No, he probably wouldn't. So? Not every QB is another Peyton Manning or Tom Brady. Some will turn out to be the Jeff Georges of the world. Or worse.
