OT: Teblow wins rookie of the week

[UofApatsfan]

Broncos' Tim Tebow Named Pepsi NFL Rookie Of The Week - Mile High Buzz - SB Nation Denver

I figured there's already a thread on this given how Gronk was the obvious candidate but couldn't find one. What reason could anyone have for Tebow deserving it over Gronk other than him being a bible beater and him making a stupid "My mommy almost aborted me" superbowl ad?

The Georgia Bulldog inside of me is furious.

1 passing TD, 3 passing yrds, 1 rushing TD, 2 rushing yrds > 5 rec, 72 yards, 3 TD

Right...

 

[DaBruinz]

Another frigging travesty.. First Chung gets screwed out of DPOW when he had the blocked punt and blocked FG.. And now Gronk gets screwed out of DROW because of Tebow???

Tebow didn't do anything last week.. OMFG.. He was 1 for 1 on passing for 3 yards and a 1TD And he had 2 rushes for 2 yards and a TD. WHOOPDEE DOO.. That doesn't trump 5 catches for 72 yards and 3 TDs..

Whomever is doing the voting need to just stop. In fact, all these weekly awards should just go away.. They are worthless.

Right...

especially when Tebow's stats came in garbage time

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

When you have a 35-0 lead before halftime,it gets a team noticed and the league must find a rookie to honor...even if he had nothing to do with it

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

The Voters probably eliminated Gronkowski from consideration once he received an OPI call

 

[Uncle Rico]

Gronk just got hosed worse than Chung did after the Dolphins game, when he didn't get Special Teams player.

 

[ausbacker]

That's comical. Guess it pays to be full of **** and blow your own sanctimonious trumpet. That said I don't blame Tebow for having people vote for him, that's on the apparently large number of idiots who voted for an inferior performance on perceived popularity.

Gronk was one of the best performed players in the entire NFL last week.

It's the Bristol Palin effect from Dancing With the Stars. she has an inbuilt constituency.

 

[patsfanboy]

Get used to it, who wants to bet if we win the Superbowl a opponent player will get MVP?

 

[Uncle Rico]

The Voters probably eliminated Gostkowski from consideration once he received an OPI call

I have to say, I almost made this same mistake ....

 

[Uncle Rico]

I wonder how many votes God had ...

 

[UofApatsfan]

I wonder how many votes God had ...

He transferred all of them to his grandson.

GRONK
72 yards
5 receptions
3 TDs

On the road against one of the best teams in football, who had given up ONE touchdown to TEs all season.

Wow.

Fixed that for you.

But, then again, he was going up against the most popular rookie in the NFL in a popularity contest.

Then again, if GRONK gets another three TDs this week. . . .

Lol ,yeah I could see this mistake happening routinely

Some guy I know gets names wrongs a lot, but IRL.

Asante Samuels
Danny Whitehead
Mark (Kurt) Warner

Quite odd.

LOL which teaches you that POTW awards are more hype than substance. Anyhows, who cares? I'm sure Gronk doesn't.

 

[Froob]

How did Tebow make it on the ballot, let alone win?
