Serious question Wheels....would you rather have played Orton the entire time and kept Timmy stapled to the bench? For all of his faults, it seems that Tebow's best throws are the "pro" throws...the deep outs, home-run balls, etc. The ones he has problems with are dink-and-dunk, "possession" throws that he's so scared of getting picked that he'll bounce it in there rather than try to hit a tiny window. Couple that with the fact that on every play a defense has to respect the run...I'd much rather have him as my QB and try to make it work than to have a defense not have to respect any part of the Seattle offense. Funnily, I think Oakland's historical system (good running backs and a vertical stretch offense) would be pretty damn perfect for Timmy T.
Even with his horrible mechanics, I think theres just very few good QB's in the NFL. There are maybe 10 guys who can consistently win games for their teams with great QB plays. Tebow isn't in that class, but he's right there with the next group of guys, he's far better then the bad starting QB's. Anybody watch Blaine Gabbert last season? Hell even Tony Romo has the same number of playoff wins as Tim Tebow with multiple years of talented Cowboy rosters. Tebow has some big improvements to make before he's a top 10 QB in this league but if the rest of his team makes some big plays his team can win. Hell even Trent Dilfer won a damn super bowl a few years ago. Tebow is far better than him.
