That was not good today. At all. Now all of the anti-Tebow guys will use this to say "told you so". They will be as wrong as the pro-Tebow guys are in jumping to last week as proof that he will succeed. The truth is that the jury is still out either way and judging him after five starts isn't fair. He's done some good things. He's done some bad. That come with the territory with new starters early in their careers. I still think he'll be ok. We'll see.

i don't consider myself anti-tebow. he seems like a nicer human being than 90% of the people on this planet.

what i am is anti-blind. apologies to any blind people that read this.

and i reject the suggestion that there's some middle ground between blind people and those that can see in a debate about what color the sky is. and that we need to weigh equally the opinion of those that have no sight.

it's not his fault the bronco's made a terrible decision. it's their front offices fault. if he weren't a first round choice none of this discussion would be taking place.

but that doesn't take away from the fact that he's a demonstrably bad nfl qb and won't be in the league as a starter beyond whatever time it takes for the bronco's to admit the obvious.

This could be true but before saying he won't be a starting qb, look at others around the league that are. Look at Beck in Washington who replaced the equally bad Grossman. Tavaris Jackson. McNabb and Orton were starters. Colt McCoy. Joe Flacco. Whoever starts in Miami. There are some bad starters out there. Tebow may be in the bottom 10% of starters but he's not the worst and he'll always be better than some of them out there and will be a starter in the NFL in my opinion.

I'm just going to continue to make a point for the f.uck of it. Because god-dam.nity I like to see my posts. Look at all that text, man! I've gotta be right! Maybe I can bore them into agreeing with me or get them to the point of telling me to go jump off a bridge. Just any attention. I ain't give a f.uck. Pay attention, son.

Just wanted to check in with somer and ask him why karma took the day off on Sunday. Certainly it couldn't have been Tebow sucking, it had to be an absence of karma.

Maybe Karma doesn't work at high altitudes.............

i know some people are taking the tebow mockers to task...that they shouldn't be bashing the guy for his faith. the guy's entitled to his faith-but really, does he think god gives a rats ass about a football game? he can't bring about world peace, and tim tebow is pestering him about a game? maybe gods message to tim is 'geez, timmy, you got a heisman and your team won the nat'l title, that's not enough?'

This whole thing is getting crazier by the weirder by the week. 2-8 passing for 69 yards.....but a 56 yd touchdown in the fourth. McGahee was out. Moreno went down first quarter, no serious recievers....but they win again. In a results driven league where you take wins where you can, he is getting them. Very odd things going on here.

This thing gets crazier by the week, one QB in the NFL has a better road record as starter.
Yesterday was a clinic in how to run without a back at all. I am enjoying it completely and laugh at the haters as the wins pile up. If he continues to win they are going to have some serious 'splainin' to do after this season is over. Worse QB's have had some great careers.
I am a Cowboys fan living in Denver so I feel compelled (perhaps by a higher power???) to root for him.
Going to the game Thursday so I really hope they bring it. Got some Jet fans from NJ visiting.
