Am I missing something here ? Yes , Tim Tebow is big, strong, smart . Had a tremendous college career . Has potential to be the greatest running quarterback of all-time.(Let's not forget Bobby Douglass, Michael Vick ,Joe Kapp ). Great moral character . Was 7-4 as a starter this year , albeit in the last three games (losses) there was virtually no offense. Until yesterday he was thought of as a "below-average NFL passer ".
So what has changed ? Yes, a great performance yesterday against the Steelers . Ten completions, 314 yards . One running TD, two passing TD's, including an 80 yard TD completion in overtime to win it. Yes, dramatic stuff !
But, you would think that his performance yesterday made him a guaranteed " first ballot " Hall of Fame inductee " in Canton . Give me a break. Hey, Mark Sanchez helped get the Jets to AFC Championship games in his first 2 seasons before taking a step backwards this year . Tebow has won exactly ONE PLAYOFF GAME .
I'll tell you what. If he goes into New England this weekend and gets a "W", now we're talking!
