Well the Patriots would have. But if you look at the list of UDFA QBs that were signed, you would understand its a nobrainer to say he would have been.
Of course the Pats would have, proof of that is that they used a draft pick on him. The claim was that 31 other teams would have taken him, but we don't know that to be the case.
Its the whole point of the discussion. Deflecdting the discussion by calling people who think Tebow can't play bigots, haters or saying he was persecuted is happening all over the place. I have made no mention of attacking.
No I am not.
Yeah, you are conflating the two. I've asked for anyone to link to posts where a Tebow supporter is giving someone crap for posting actual analysis or real criticism.
You have to look at the statements that were made by the people who have been challenged. If someone says "Tebow can't hit the broad side of a barn" and that he's "Not an NFL QB", that's not valid criticism or analysis. Rather, it's specious BS and yes, I will challenge that.
No one has said he is the worst QB ever. That is the point, you create a strawman to say anyone antiTebow is crazy by making up that they say he is the worst QB ever.
You are exactly proving my argument with yours.
Again, you apparently aren't reading what some are saying.
I totally disagree. Look at it this way. If I canmake 5% of three pointers in an NBA game, you would argue I have the skills and just need practice when in fact I'm a crappy shooter.
5% is much too low a number. If you really want to get into figures, Tebow is at what? 48% comp %? If he got up to 60% he might just be a decent QB. Plenty of QBs have raised their comp % 12 pts over a couple of years. Hell, with his running ability, I'd settle for the high 50's.
Players improve. That does not mean teams will go get players who are weak at their basic skills and hope they improve, they will get players who have the ability and have them improve.
Im sure with 3 years in the Patriots system I would be a better QB, but I would still suck, instead they will take someone who doesnt.
Intangibles without tangibles are useless.
And tangibles without intangibles are useless. Just ask Ryan Leaf and Todd Marinovich. NFL history is replete with guys who could throw nice passes but couldn't win games or be effective NFL QBs.
I'll go ahead and commit some blasphemy here. Guess what? Geno Smith throws a much prettier ball than Tom Brady. He's got a stronger arm as well. That said, I don't think that Geno Smith will even be 1/10th the QB that Brady is.
