I kind of expected it to happen once Tebow couldn’t find a job, but it still amazes me just how quickly everyone forgot about him.
Manziel is the new Tebow

are you going to start selling “Hooray JESUS” posters because there might be a market for that
also i like how tebow’s laptop appears to have a dick on it
And one on the back as well.
I had to do a Mandark laugh on that one. Good one.
Tim Tebow who?
Or you know try the CFL
Ha! Dick and balls.
We can only hope Manziel disappears so quick Dave, we can only hope. Tell you the truth though, I wished Tebow was in the league for a just a short bit more because the Jets destroyed his career with all that wildcard bull. Even when shit hit the fan with Captain Buttfumbles he had the third string guy play over him. If anything he would have energized the irate fans.

The man-boobs are a very nice touch
I’d like to see what Tim Tebow could have been in the league with A) a head coach who wasn’t an absolute short-bus, smooth-brained, mouth-breathing mongoloid (My opinions of Fox and Ryan’s capacity to coach are about as low as humanly possible), B) a quarterbacks coach who had ever done, y’know, anything, and C) enough time to actually get a shot at utilizing either/both. The guy has a ton of talent, and– speaking as a Denver fan who’s not particularly a Tebow fan– he actually did substantially better than most pundits were talking about; he was put in a system that utilized literally none of his throwing talents, and exacerbated every weakness. The guy is so suited for run-and-shoot or rhythmic passing, but Fox called a higher percentage of 25+ yard throws than any QB has had since the 1940s– and Tebow’s completion rate on those throws? 2nd only to Aaron Rodgers. I’m not saying Tebow was great, or could be great, or anything. I’m saying he never actually had a chance, and Ryan violated him more thoroughly than a footlong (HA! Eat it, Wes Welker).
Tebow was objectively better than Sanchez, though, in every metric– better completion rate, far greater run threat, better attitude, better everything. The fact that Ryan kept Sanchez in was one of the coldest, pettiest coaching decisions I have ever seen. It was a gigantic middle finger to his GM.
As for the pride of sin– it depends on why he’s “QB or nothing”. From a point of faith, it would be easy to have used that as a sign for staying in football or not. I do not pretend to know his motivations for only being interested in quarterback, but as a Christian I can very easily see a variety of perfectly humble reasons to so behave.
Bayless earned my scorn for so over-hyping Tebow that no one could look at him objectively, look at what he DID accomplish, and analyze it for what it was. He got so polarized that you were either in love with him, or hated him, and the chance for middleground and objectivity were lost entirely.
I love you.
I feel like he had his shot with the Patriots. I mean if you can’t make the Jets starting gig, or at least be a backup for the Patriots (a team whose quarterback succeeds primarily by handing the ball off to LaGarrette Blount/Stevan Ridley/Shane Vereen) then you can’t make it anywhere.
I think somewhere deep down, we all knew that Tebow was not destined for lasting NFL success. I thought he could have some after the 2011 season, but between being traded by the team he took to the playoffs, not being allowed to play QB in spite of backing up the comedy of errors that was Mark Sanchez, by the time he got to New England you could see he had lost his edge. He was passing up completely open receivers on underneath routes that even before, with his awful motion, he would still hit for a first down, and was trying to force it deep and make a big play and be a hero.
I will always love Tim Tebow for that magical season in 2011(I’m not even a Broncos fan and I was enthralled), but I think we all knew this was going to happen sooner rather than later. Can’t take away from him that he was one of the best college QBs ever, and he seems like a perfect college football analyst for ESPN, who’re already in love with him from his playing days.
I like Manziel so I’m biased but there’s no way he’s the next Tebow. Manziel has a cannon and even if he is a bust he isn’t Tebow. Tebow was a huge guy and could have played tight end and made it despite horrible mechanics. While Manziel doesn’t have robot super mechanics like Brady he’s got a gun and can throw the ball
I don’t get the arguments that he should have changed position. What position could he have played? He’s not Steve Young (who could have legitimately played RB) – he was fast for a QB, but not for a RB or TE. QB was always the only position he ever had a shot at.
He was big enough and quick enough to play RB and full back– not all are speed demons, but he would have been very good as a 3rd down/short-yardage power back. If he could be taught to catch, he was also big enough, quick enough, and fast enough to play TE. I think he had the skills to be a QB, but lacked a coach who had the capacity to teach him before his confidence was shot to hell. What Ryan did was one of the dirtiest things I’ve ever seen done to a man. He literally just broke a guy to prove that he could do it, and that he wasn’t going to be beat. It was cowardly, and it was cruel. (note, I am not using hyperbole. I’ve seen people do more evil things, more wicked things, more hateful things, but it was absolutely dirty what Ryan did to Tebow)
