Slight difference in production with a top 10 QB and non top 10 QB.
Try again Deus.
Typical Deus response; I don't agree with you so you're embarrassing yourself. I'll also propose history as I remember it conveniently ignoring all the factors that disprove my position. Tell me Deus, what receiver, playing in the NFL (not College), put up a 1000 yard season with Tebow as his QB?Yes, comparing a Thomas coming off of foot surgery and a long rehab that took him almost two years to bounce back from so that he was only a starter in 7 of his first 32 possible games in years 1 and 2, in a different offensive system, and then to the second best QB of the generation after he'd begun to establish himself is exactly the same as your initial claim. Likewise with a second receiver, Decker, who went from 6 catches to 44 in his jump from a rookie to a second year player, even before Manning got to Denver.
You're embarrassing yourself about Tebow. Yet again.
Tebow apparently has the penthouse suite in your head, and stays there rent free.
I love Kelley more and more with every move he makes. He's just like BB in that he knows the kinds of players he wants on his team and has a clear idea of how HE wants to build a team. He could very well end up being wrong but at least he has courage enough to do it his way.

Yeah, that Denver D was terrible during that stretch.
You seem to care more about whether others care than I ever have. Aside from that, if you've ever watched Tebow closely in practice and then compared that to how his mechanics go AWOL in real games, you'll understand he's a lost cause as a conventional NFL quarterback. Four league coaching staffs (two regimes in Denver, Jets), including the best ever (Pats), tried and failed with him. The problem isn't his competitive drive, it's the disconnect between his head and body when it comes to processing information quickly under pressure. Perhaps Kelly has something special in mind for Tebow, like a tailor-made option package. I do wish him well regardless.He just took a year off and had a years worth of special coaching-development on his technique...it's the 90 man roster timeframe....it's NOT our team....
I am not really sure why anyone can be so sure that what WAS his ability ceiling currently IS his ability ceiling OR why folks should care so much.
Wish him well as an individual (less 1 game a year) and move on.
That's not a fair comparison though. No ones claiming that Tebow an elite QB, just that he deserves a job in this league. Which he does.
After seeing SF fall apart last year like that, I'd take Tebow over Kaepernick.
Why not? Same players, same position, different Quarterback, significantly improved numbers. Also, nobody deserves anything. If you're good enough, take it.That's not a fair comparison though. No ones claiming that Tebow an elite QB, just that he deserves a job in this league. Which he does.

The talk in Philly is that maybe they brought him in to try a two point conversion after every TD....Kelly often went for 2 in college even in typical "kick it for 1" scenarios.He can help a team win in the NFL when you factor in everything tangible AND intangible he brings, IMO. Perhaps Kelly likes his intangibles enough to carry him a full season.
What does that crazy depth chart look like now ? Bradford-Sanchez-Barkley-Tebow ?
Chip is fun. He adds fun to the nfl. Who knows if it'll lead to a championship- but it sure is fun.
Why teams bother I just don't understand. I love Tebow's drive and will to compete but he simply doesn't have the throwing accuracy to be in the NFL.
