What do these quarterbacks have in common?

[hawkijustin]

So barely over half the league is ahead of him. Not bad for a first year starter.

Your love for Tebow is starting to get old around here.

Why does Timmy call 4th downs "Muslims"?


Because they are the hardest to convert.

That's actually not true. Studies have shown that Muslims are actually far more receptive to Christian conversion because they already hold one of the primary tenants of Christian faith, the belief in an all-powerful monotheistic god. Monotheists (Muslims, Jews, Mormons, etc.) are all far more willing to convert to Christianity than polytheists, who in turn are far more willing to convert than atheists. Atheists first have to acknowledge the possibility that a god even existing before they can be converted to any particular religious belief.

Beyond prior religious experience, there are a whole slew of socio-economic reasons why a person may or may not convert from one religion (or lack thereof) to another.

Why are you looking at QB rating? That might be the worst way to judge a QB over another QB. Where is Tim Tebow on this list?

Not saying completion percentage is the end-all stat, but it shows you can pick and choose your stats to make your argument look better than it actually is.

You also forgot to mention the 18 QBs ahead of him...

Aaron Rodgers - 4 year starter
Tom Brady - 11 years as starter. first 3 years QB rating was low 80's
Drew Brees - 10 year starter. QB rating 2nd year? 76. 3rd year? 67
Tony Romo - 9 years in the league. 6 as a starter
Eli Manning - 8 years in the league as starter. Thru 4 years as a starter his highest QB rating was 77. That's right, 77.
Matt Schaub -8 years in the league. 5 as a starter
Alex Smith - 7th year in league before he finally looks average. First 3 years had QB rating of 40, 74, and 58
Ben Roethlisberger - 8 years in league as starter. Has had worse QB ratings
Matthew Stafford - 3rd year in leauge. Call me when Tebow has megatron to throw to
Matt Hasselbeck - 13th year in NFL and has had sub 80 QB rating 6 of those years.
Ryan Fitzpatrick - 7th year in league. Went to a couple of his games when he played for Cinnci and he was horrid. Now he looks pretty good
Jay Cutler - 5 years as starting NFL QB and he is starting to shine...after 5 years.
Jason Campbell - 7 year starter in NFL. First 2 years had worse QB rating than Tebow
Cam Newton - 1st year QB
Matt Ryan - 4th year in league
Donovan McNabb - Played for 12 years
Andy Dalton - 1st year QB
Mark Sanchez - 3rd year in the NFL. 1st two years in the league QB rating of 63 and 75

I love it! Thanks for helping show that Tebow is doing pretty damn good. When you compare him to the top 18 guys he is pretty comparable if not ahead. Add in the fact that he doesn't have anyone to throw to and you have to say what the kid is doing is historic. Thanks Spank!

You must be a lot of fun at a party.

Your presence is starting to get old around here.

Nice touch. Spank provided some very nice stats to prove Tebow is doing great for a 1st year starter. Keep up the good work Spank!

 

[ssckelley]

I have good news for you Tebow lovers, his next 4 games are all against the bottom half of the NFL in pass defense.

What is really helping Tebow is the fact he has only thrown 1 pic against 8 TD passes for the season. His completion percentage and yards per game is horrible and anybody that has actually watched the games to see him throw the ball know this is not a NFL QB.

And there are two first year QBs ahead of him on the list means nothing either, right?

Again. He's fiery, he's a leader, he's got passion.

But he's not a good NFL QB. He's an average NFL QB at best. He's average, it's ok to admit it.

 

[storminspank]

He is behind two other first YEAR players.
He's under the top 1/2 of NFL QBs (without having enough stats/passes attempted to fulfill the league minimum).

That means, *GASP*, he's an average/below average QB.

This isn't news to anyone who knows anything about football.

He is not a good NFL QB. Sorry to burst your pimple.

 

[bcl20]

They are all inferior to the true Lord and Savior, Aaron Rodgers.

 

[ssckelley]

Aw come on Spank, that list of QB's Tebow is ahead of is impressive. I mean Rex Grossman is on that list! How could Tebow be better than Rex Grossman?

 

[storminspank]

Stats are awesome, you guys.... here's another 2nd year player...

John Skelton

41/75 (6 less completions than Tebow in 30 less attempts)
537 yds (just 80 less than Tebow)
4 TD, 2 INT (3 less TDs, 1 more INT)

84.1 QB rating (2.5 higher than Tebow)

Go ahead, brag about how good of a QB this Fordham guy is. Go ahead...

Yeah, Tim Tebow is an awesome NFL QB, you guys. Awesome.

 

[storminspank]

Before last night, Tyler Palko had a better QB rating than Tim Tebow.

 

[bcl20]

QB rating? Yuck.

Two 1st year guys that are also doing very well. It's not exclusive. Good for them. They will have nice futures in the NFL along with Tebow. For the record, those guys have Steve Smith and AJ Green to throw to, along with TE's that are good.

So you know more about football than the people who drafted him the 1st round? The ones that are starting him on an NFL team? When the dust settles storm.....when the dust settles.

John Skelton? Really spank? You are even lying to try and make a point. Skelton's stats this year?

4 TD's 8 turnovers
QB rating of 57.3 (23 points lower than Tebow)

Where do you look up stats?

Before last night, Tyler Palko had a better QB rating than Tim Tebow.

No he didn't. Where are you getting your information? Tyler Palko has 0 TD's to 6 picks this year. He has a QB rating of 47


You are embarrassing yourself Stormin. You are out of your element. Stick to what you know and that is Lickliter being COY of the year in the Big 10.

His completion percentage is awful. His 3rd down completion is even worse. Just because he can't throw it well enough for either team to catch it, doesn't mean he is good. He is a good leader and a good RB. He is a below average QB. And don't give me the QB rating ********, because that is an awful indicator of how good a QB is.
