Andrew Luck Better Than Tebow?

[nic.zeman24]

Tebow played in the last 3 meaningless games of the season. He would and will be figured out rather quickly.

You remember him being "knocked out" during the COLLEGE Kentucky game? Watch him run in the NFL.

What's that you're thinking? He'll pass more!! LOLOLOL

What's that you yelling at the computer screen? He won at the high school and college level? hahahaha. So did Matt Leinart.

He'll be "learning how to read defenses on the job? Pleeasse! If he don't know now he'll never will.

LMAO that was a blindside hit but ok.

[jetdrumz]

Not just a blindside hit but it was his head hitting his own teammates knee that knocked him out.....and I believe it was a pass play not a run.

[BroncoBreeder]

If Tebow gets us to the Superbowl, all the opposition has to do is hire Nick Saben to come up with a game plan to beat us.

It's like with anybody, Tyson, Aikman, Young.
Once you have a concussion, you are more likely to get them.

?????? Ummm Tebow is 1-1 against Bama bro

Luck may be a better pro, but TT's by far the better college player. TT's going to be in the college HOF as one of the top 10 (if not better) college players of all-time

[broncsfan21]

I want to make a fair comparison so I will only compare their first two years in college and will leave Tebow's total collegiate performance at bottom to see if Luck can compare when he's done...

Comp Att Yds Rate TD Int Rating / Rushing Att Yds TD
L 162 288 2575 56.3 13 4 143.5 61 354 2
T 22 33 358 66.7 5 1 201.7 89 469 8
L 263 372 3338 70.7 32 8 170.2 55 453 3
T 234 350 3286 66.9 32 6 172.5 210 895 23

Tebow Total (After 4 years)
661 985 9286 67.1 88 15 176.0 692 2947 57
Luck Total (After 2 years and 3 games)
482 745 6699 64.7 53 13 160.2 124 854 6

So tell me again, what makes ya'll more excited about Luck? I know this isn't the prettiest presentation (sorry computer illiterate) but it shows a very important stat that can't be erased by team talent argument and that's the TD to Int between them. Tebow clearly makes better decisions oh I forgot, let's hold off on that argument cuz I'm sure Luck will throw for 35+ TDs and only 2 more picks...Numbers don't lie.

How many stanford OL are their in the NFL that played there with Luck? How many Florida OL are their in the NFL that played with Tebow?

In my experience, QBs who have good lines make less hurried throws, which leads to less turnovers.

I'm just sayin'

Speculation is a dangerous game.

[broncsfan21]

Cant improve if you dont play. Cant improve if you are stuck taking 2nd string / 3 rd string reps.

Think about his for a second.

if our first offense line stinks and Orton got to take every snap in the offseason with them. Did you honestly think Tebow had a chance to do any better honestly. Seriously if you first stinks, how much worse are the backups. The guy was running for his life because there was no protection and that i did see.

Yea Aaron Rodgers would agree with this. Same with Philip Rivers.

[SBboundBRONCOS]

so by this logic tebow is better than tom brady, peyton manning, and on and on because he might be one of the best college players of all time

We won't know how good Luck really is until he plays in the NFL. The Seahawks benched Aaron Curry and apparently want to trade him. Remember the hype surrounding this guy before the 2009 draft? When people mention Tebow's success in college, what do we get from Tebow detractors? "But it was college!! It does not matter in the NFL!!" Well, that's all we have from Luck right now. College football.

How many stanford OL are their in the NFL that played there with Luck?

OT Jonathan Martin and OG David DeCastro are two of the best lienemen in college football. Both were First Team All-Pac-10 selections. 10. Both will likely be 1st round picks in 2012 or 2013.

In my experience, QBs who have good lines make less hurried throws, which leads to less turnovers.

2010: Stanford OL allowed just six sacks on the season, the second fewest in the nation and helped pave the way for a young Stanford rushing attack to rack up the second-highest rushing total in school history.

2009: Stanford OL allowed a Pac-10-low seven sacks on the year. Also helped pave the way for Stanford's ground game to establish a new single-season rushing record of 2,837 yards.

[broncosfan719]

I think the real problem is that everyone looks at luck and says he is pro ready and to me that is hard to tell by looking at a player. if college stats shows anything about a players ability then tebow would have started already. I do believe that tebow will be a great nfl quarterback when he gets a chance, but for us to try and pick up luck would be throwing away the season and if you are going to that put in tebow and see if you really need another qb. the front office needs to be smart and not jump the gun on another qb there are other holes that need to be filled.

Okay...

So thats two OL that will be in the NFL. Florida has at least 3 right now in the NFL, the two Pounceys and Gilbert.

Also, sacks and hurries aren't the same thing. 7 sacks is quite an accomplisment, but my interest is in hurries and knockdowns.

Dumbest post i've seen today. If stats are all that matters to you why don't we trade for graham harrel, Colt Brennan, or all the other Qbs who had great college careers. Oh wait screw all that let's just get Jamarcus Russell ... I heard he was fantastic in college. If you don't see where im going with this it's that college stats mean nothing once you get in the pros. Andrew luck could be a bust but he sure as hell doesn't seem like it. Tebow on the other hand isn't starting for a reason, im sick of people saying how great he is onin this board. IF he was so good he would be the starting Quarterback, but he's not.

Yea. Just look at Knowshon Moreno. Looked so good in college.

Russell wasn't fantastic, he was a fantastic TALENT. Neither Graham Harrell & Colt Brennan were in TT's league
