Player Signing Why did this team sign Tebow?

Of course...what else would everyone else have to bicker about? Politics...Hernandez...real football discussions? Not enough...we needed decention...might as well argue about a nice guy who wants to try out for the team.

"decention"?????...is that more Sports Blob Brandinese?

Ummmm...no...apparently a lame attempt at humor...thought thread needed a little levity...I'll go back to lurking

Actually we were debating the value of having a QB on the roster who can't play the QB position.

 

[Patstopia]

The bottom line is Tebow is not a 'Ready for Prime-time' QB. He may never be ready, but BB likes his heart and his effort and willingness to work as hard as he can. Whether the effort the staff puts in comes to any fruition, we shall see. But please name the 3rd string QB anyone on any team actually would want starting for their team. It is certainly no worse than having Ocho on the team.

no no no...get back in there and swing!..there is NOTHING better than a meaningless message board firestorm to get the blood pumping...:fencing:

Well then, this does seem to be the thread for meaningless messages. And apparently the anti-Tebow, pro-Tebow and could care less-Tebow fans all come here, so we all must have something in common.

 

[Joker]

yes...the truth is ...it's just a Tebow Universe and we are merely the space dust between intertebowstellar galaxies...or not

 

[Jandkmom]

yes...the truth is ...it's just a Tebow Universe and we are merely the space dust between intertebowstellar galaxies...or not

I think it is more like the six degrees of separation...like the Kevin Bacon game...how many players are more than six degrees of separation from Tim Tebow?

 

[Joker]

oh jeezus...don't start...c'mon...the server for this site only has 500 teraflops of dedicated hard drive space...you wanna crash the whole board or sumpthin?

Lol...sorry. I am just happy he is being given a real chance. If he doesn't make the team, he will move along and be fine. This is just the pre-season, so everyone needs to relax and let it play out. No one in their right mind would expect him to play over Tom Brady, but I would be happy with the keeping three qbs.

 

[Nitro]

It is certainly no worse than having Ocho on the team.

I had faith CJ could contribute something, after all he had a history of doing it in the past. The other guy.. well.. not so much.

.... and the hits keep on coming!

I turned on Alternate Universe TV to get the replay of the Pats/Eagles game...here's the transmissions so far from Planet Moronical....

They Booed Santa Claus But Cheered for Tebow

Post by Backup QB Today at 10:36 am
Did anyone else catch how the crowd in Philly went nuts when Tebow went on the field? I was shocked because even the most respectful fanbase is going to boo an opposing player... especially a popular one.

But Philly? The city and fans who booed Santa Claus cheered for Tebow? I couldn't believe it.

Yeah, you can have the tv volume turned up, be in another room, but still know when Tebow comes in the game. The crowd just comes alive.

Yep, we were talking about that too.

No batteries, no booing just cheers.

heh...yeah...uh...right....nothing happened at all all game and the crowd was comatose and then...

It's CHOSEN TIME!!!!!


cacophonous celebration ensues....exactly what I saw too...and then the doctor shot me up with a sedative and explained I had just overdosed on 100,00 micrograms of pure LSD...

What is wrong with you? Do you think anyone here cares about what we talk about on our board? Why do you care? Do you have some emotional need to stalk members of this board that may be members of our board just because they are a fan of a particular Patriot player?

Listen, no matter what you think of Tim or his fans there is nothing you can do about Tim being a Patriot. Get a grip.

Another thing, if you are going to quote someone that has posted on the internet, it's appropriate to give the link so anyone that doesn't believe you or is interested in what you are talking about can go see for themselves. But you know that don't you. You know you want to spin what is said on our board to your on biases and don't want to give others the opportunity to see if you are full of it or not.

What you may not know Joker, is that any post or comment anyone makes on any board is by default copyrighted and you break copyright protocols by not posting a link to what someone says that you quote. In this case I will let you off the hook and post the link to our boards. If anyone is interested in the quote you posted, it can easily be found by doing a search on our board or Joker can just post the link directly to the quote. Hahaha, based on how much time Joker spends there, he surely knows right where to find the quote and probably has our board bookmarked so posting the link to the quote should be easy for him. The link to our board is Tim Tebow Fan Forum - Portal .

I want to apologize to PatsFans.com's Admins., Mods., and members as this post is off topic, personal, and shouldn't even be necessary except for Joker's insistence on being a nuisance to Tim Tebow fans by selfishly imposing whatever obsession he has with quoting comments from our board.

This will be my only comment in this regard. I trust the Admin/s. and Mods. of PatsFans.com will forgive me for making this off topic and personal comment. Sorry guys. I hope this problem ends. However, if it doesn't end I hope it continues to be as amusing as it has been so far. It is also true that it may not be as amusing to people trying to have civil discussions about Tebow with Joker.

 

[Joker]

uh...you could have used the PM and spared the board your meltdown drama...but you didn't want to do that did you...you WANTED to post this impassioned diatribe and make your threats because you're a real tough guy moderator at your rat hole board and when it comes to the internet everybody better watch out not to get Remarker mad.

You're nuts.Just like your fantasy world Tebow dreams.You don't want to read what I post on this site USE THE IGNORE FUNCTION. It's pretty simple, tough guy.You want people to stop reading your clown board, password it.Otherwise spare everybody the drama. You are no more of a Patriot fan than a friggin' aardvark looking for anthills in Africa.

 

[Demosthenes]

That's the way it usually works.

McDaniels:

Read More: Tim Tebow could start at QB for Denver Broncos in 2010 - Peter King - SI.com

"When I went to Gainesville Monday to work him out,'' McDaniels said, referring to his hush-hush trip to spend the day with Tebow, "we spent about seven hours together. We went over a lot of things. Now, understand that our offense is pretty complicated, and the terminology and the scheme is totally different from what he did at Florida. But about midway through my time there, we're going through plays, and he starts using our terminology. He's so smart about football that he was able to begin to speak my language and talk apples to apples. He'd already translated what he knew of our scheme into my words. That's something that carried a lot of weight with me.''

BC Coach Steve Adazio:

It Is What It Is » BC coach Steve Addazio on Tim Tebow: ?He can win?

I have never been around a guy that worked at football harder than he did. He was up in our offices every day. He knew that offense inside and out and he knew defenses and he knew coverages. So — I mean, again — you hear a lot of stuff. I’m not here to comment on being an expert on all the intricacies of a certain offense or quarterback mechanics. But does he know football? Without a doubt. Does he know defenses? Without a doubt. Does he study and work harder than anybody I have ever been around? Without a doubt. You’ve got great work ethic, great passion for the game, great physical skills, tremendous leadership capability and highly, highly, highly competitive. Somehow I’m guessing you can find a way to make that work. Unless I don’t know football anymore.”

Chicago Bears coach Mark Trestman:

Former NFL assistant impressed by Tebow - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

We sat in a meeting room before the Senior Bowl, and the first thing I found out was that he was extremely knowledgeable football-wise,” Trestman says. “He has an ability to talk football at a high level in terms of protections, pass routes, adjustments and concepts – basically all the things an NFL quarterback has to be able to talk about. It was easy for him to go to the [chalk]board and communicate with me on what I would call a ‘pro’ level.

 

[Demosthenes]

I think we're setting aside (1) the fact that the calendar's changed from Julian to Gregorian, and (2) the fact that the basis of the arbitrary system actually probably happened at a time other than the year 1.

........

You made the case a whole lot better than I could have. One thing to add is that when both the Julian and Gregorian calendars were developed, the Western world didn't use 0 as a number. It didn't come into use until the 10th century with the introduction of Arabic numerals.

 

[FirstAndGoal]

I think we're setting aside (1) the fact that the calendar's changed from Julian to Gregorian, and (2) the fact that the basis of the arbitrary system actually probably happened at a time other than the year 1.

The guts of the argument seem to be that we have a system of integers that has no 0 to it. You were in the year 1, or the year -1 (that is, 1 CE or 1 BCE.)

So, setting the birth of Jesus to be in the first year of the common era, when Jesus is 1 year old, it's the year 2. When Jesus is 2 years old, it's the year 3. And so on.

Were Jesus to live to be 100, it would be the year 101 on his 100th birthday.

Said another way, the first century (100 years) would be over in the year 101, not the year 100. Similarly with the second, third, fourth, and fifth centuries. Without killing too many pixel-trees by listing them all, one could conclude that the twentieth 100 years, or the twentieth century, would end in 2001.

On the other side of the debate would be another convention, based not on adding units of 100 years, but on knocking a couple of zeroes off the date and adding 1. So the year 99 has no zeroes to knock off, so the value of the century is 0 -- then you add 1, to yield "first century." In the year 100, you knock off the zeroes for a value of 1, then add the obligatory 1, and get 2 -- putting the year 100 in the second century (like the year 101, 102, etc.)

At the end of 1999, therefore, we partied like it was 1999, rather than waiting 1 more year and partying like it was 2000.

This comes down to a purist vs. conventionalist approach to the counting of centuries. It's very difficult, to me, to call either of them "wrong." I suppose we're doomed to define our terms whenever we talk about centuries, if we want to use a definition other than that which is commonly accepted.

I think the common convention is to say that in the 2000 election, American voters chose George W. Bush as the first president elected in the twenty-first century, although good arguments can be made that both terms of this assertion are demonstrably false.

So you're saying that based on beliefs, people have decided that they don't accept the agreed upon date. Great. I'm deciding that based on the fact that I can't see zero, I'm declaring that there is no such thing and all numbers must have quantity.

 

[BrickPat]

Fun Fact: Belichick is Pro-Tebow.

Cue a wailing Nancy Kerrigan: "Why? Whyyyyy? Whyyyyyyyyy"?!

BTW on another note you gotta love the pompous, lecturing hypocrites who tsk, tsk those who post on a topic they deem unworthy or a thread too long for their high brow taste. Yet they post on the very same thread...the irony.

If he knows the offense so well, then why is he so slow at making reads? Cause he can't process quickly enough. Different abilities.
