Lukewarm starting debut for Tebow

[BOLTMAN-1]

I realize there are some other threads about Tebow but this one is about this game yesterday vs the Raiders. Unfortunately for the Broncos the Raiders spoiled his "coming out" party.

One game, and the hearts of Tim Tebow Nation went from a steady pitter-patter … straight to the full bore pounding of a Led Zeppelin drum solo. Yes, his first NFL start was encouraging, but the tidal wave of Twitter posts about Tebow “doing his thing,” well, they’re a little premature.

Tebow Nation doesn’t want to hear that since it owns the most fanatical form of zealotry I have ever seen with any player, to the point that even constructively criticizing Tebow in even the slightest way sets off a low-level earthquake. But at the risk of causing a natural disaster, this should be said:

If the Denver Broncos rookie quarterback’s game is built on playing the way he did against the Raiders, he won’t last.

While CBS announcer Gus Johnson was euphoric about Tebow’s dirty uniform – likening it to something you’d see on a left tackle – all I saw was a quarterback who took a lot of hits in his first start. His 40-yard touchdown run was electrifying. But Tebow also doesn’t appear to know how to slide, and that’s not a good thing. Even a quarterback as big as he is at 245 pounds can’t take an eight-carry beating every game, and still hold up for an entire season as a dual-role passer.

I could not have said this any better myself. One cannot even remotely criticize Tebow or else the donk nation blows up and starts crying. It is true about the fanatical zealotry that so many donk fans display but this is nothing new. The donk drafts and FA's that have put on a donkey uniform and pads since 2006 have nearly all been hyped up by the donkey nation but this is taking it to a whole new level in the euphoria surrounding Tebow.

I recall all the donk zealots pumping up Cutler as the next Elway then they kicked him to the curb. Now we have Tebow, who will not last in the NFL if he is going to play like he did yesterday. You donkeys better start looking around for a real QB if you expect to compete in the AFC and get to the playoffs someday .

Well, for one thing you post mostly in the Smack section, where it's kind of the norm to ramp up the trashtalk.

Your smack is weak, but I usually try to talk more smackish here, without a lot of reflective criticism.

Yes, trash talking players, coaches, teams, etc. is pretty normal in this section.

What is your take on the article by Charles Robinson and Tebow's luke warm start? You agree, disagree? Are any of his points valid? If Tebow plays like he did yesterday do donk fans they think he will last in the NFL?

[broncoFan!]

Go figure Charles Robinson works for Yahoo. He's one himself! What a joke of a thread. Haters gonna hate. Next time Phyllis Rivers runs for 40 yards and a TD let me know okay pumpkin?

So, a QB running 40 yards for a TD is your definition of a "good QB"?

You serious?

Did you watch the game? :doh: I forgot Dolt fans watch the game through Dolt colored glasses smeared with years of choking in the PO's.

Tebow looked great. It was the run game and the offensive line that was truly offensive. I'd give him an 9/10 or an 8.5/10.

Do you agree or disagree with this statement:

If the Denver Broncos rookie quarterback’s game is built on playing the way he did against the Raiders, he won’t last.

Look at the critisism Tebow has received from the media and "experts". Many said he would never make it as a QB in the NFL and I believe you even said he would be a bust.

Now look at the his FIRST NFL start, as a rookie, in the Black Hole. Look at other Rookies first games. Here are just a couple stats for ya:

Bradford first start: 32 for 55, 253 yards passing with 1 TD and 3 INT's.
Rivers first start: 8 for 11, 108 yards passing with 1 TD and 1 fumble lost.

And even Rivers first start was at Oakland, so I guess his first start was "luke warm" as well.

Who knows how his career will turn out, but his first start was impressive

No I don't agree. He is a rookie and his game has to improve for him to continue to play but I don't think him carring the ball 8 times a game precludes him from playing qb in the nfl. RBs carry 20+ times a game and they are much smaller so thats ridiculas. Ever hear of the guys who changed the game? nobody knows and I am not saying he is but he might become one of those guys. Haters are gonna hate and divison rivals are going to hope for the others teams players to be busts so yours and many others opinions are not really opinions but hopes and dreams. I will take a wait and see attitude but you keep on being a hater if it helps you sleep at night or keep up the weak cut and paste someone elses thoughts smack.

This is such crap, Boltbrain, it's a joke, even for you.

You sold yourself out with the hope Tebow would implode...but he didn't.

Tebow's debut by first time rookie start standards was excellent, period.

No qualification needed, no blowhard, so-called NFL 'experts' scrambling like roaches under the fridge in trying to explain away what we all saw yesterday.

He elevated his teams play. He wasn't the slightest bit intimidated or overwhelmed. He absolutely looked like he belonged, and he made all the throws. The TD pass was a thing of beauty, as was the throw Ball dropped, which was another strike and should have been his second TD pass. He made two other nice throws on third down, and he turned a broken play into a 40 yd TD run.

You should really just shut up about now, Boltbrain, it's pretty lame.

Tebow may in fact have bad games in him down the road, but yesterday wasn't one of them.

Strike one, anti-Tebows

[DishWater]

LOL

Our QB's debut was better than yours.

Suck it Phyliss.

[gorky]

Why do they pick on Tebow?

Easy answer. They know deep down inside, he really is the QB of the future for us.
Maybe he won't be Elway, but he very well could go down as our 2nd best QB ever.
They are going to learn to hate those QB runs of his.

They should stick to picking on other aspects of our team that really do suck.

[Joshecalpoly]

Last time I check 68% of the voters on the ESPN poll were impressed with Tebow. The majority of ESPN analysts were impressed with Tebow. He played on a down troten team in the rain in a stadium that wanted his head and did well (better then most qb's have don in their first game).

Also most Bronco fans kept saying Cutler showed promise and might be good someday. Alot of us thought he shouldnt have started the year he did.
