Right. Because Tim Tebow has already accomplished everything that Tom Brady had in that timeframe. Such as win 3 Super Bowls, win multiple SB MVPs, go to Pro Bowls, pass for over 60% completion rate, etc.
It's kind of hard for Tebow to win 3 Super Bowls and 2 SB MVPs when this is his 2nd year in the NFL.
Who knows what the rest of the season will hold, but here's one little comparison. In their respective 2nd years in the NFL, Brady and Tebow each became the starting QB during the season (i.e., not at the start). Through the first 9 games that Brady and Tebow played in the year that each of them became the starter (including the game they entered as a sub that led to them starting), here's what they did:
Brady: 159-248 (64.1%), 1611 yds, 6.50 ypa, 6.19 aypa, 12 td, 7 int, 86.9 rating, 18 rushes, 22 yds (1.22 ypc), 0 td, 5-3 as a starter
- Total Yds: 1633
- Total Yds/play: 6.14
- Total TD: 12
Tebow: 96-198 (48.5%), 1290 yds, 6.52 ypa, 7.17 aypa, 11 td, 2 int, 83.9 rating, 94 rushes, 517 yds (5.50 ypc), 3 td, 7-1 as a starter
- Total Yds: 1807
- Total Yds/play: 6.19
- Total TD: 14
BTW, there's a VERY good chance that Tebow will end up in the Pro Bowl this year, like it or not.
Honestly, you and everyone else in here who would make such a comment do a huge disservice to Tom Brady's ability to play quarterback and lend credence to Colts fans argument by even suggesting that Tim Tebow's level of play at all reminds you of Tom Brady's from that era. If you want to say Tebow is a winner, fine. But Brady was always a quality passer.
Agreed. He's obviously a MUCH better passer than Tebow. It's a disservice to Brady to compare the two as if they are equals. Brady is a top 3 all-time QB; Tebow's career has just gotten started. It is not a disservice, however, to compare what each of them had accomplished at similar points in their career, which is what I did above. That's totally fair.
