I wouldnt take phillip rivers if we could get him for free

Because in the NFL, the stats will not remain good if the mechanics are poor.

And more critically, even if the stats do remain good, will you ever truly trust the guy? If Tebow managed to be a 60% passer at the NFL level with his current mechanics I'd be two things:

1) Stunned.
2) Terrified if I were a Broncos fan that those wonky mechanics will put him in a horrid position to make a throw at the worst possible time.

Again - mechanics are often about making a play when things aren't going right. With great mechanics, your arm can still come through at different angles and complete passes naturally. With that weird ass hitch that Tebow has, he's not going to be able to make some plays with his body in strange positions.

The mechanics matter.

I am just thankful that Denver took him and the Chiefs didnt have some strange fettish about him...

Cause if the roles were reversed and Tebow was a Chief... This place would be full hard on to protect Tebow...

Think of it as a combustible engine with a bad spark plug and a severed vacuum hose. Yes, it will likely still get you where you need to go, and most idiots wouldn't ever know the difference. But in a high stress, high pressure situation, the odds are very high that something will break down when you need it the most.

I think they wanted to change it so he did not fumble or get it swatted away as easy.. Especially if they having him moving a lot..

No I think that if that would've happened Arrowhead security personel would've had to be full hard on to protect Pioli. The torches and pitchforks would've descended upon Arrowhead

Woah now, Tiger.

KnowMo said that Peyton Manning's work ethic pales in comparison to the mighty Tebow and suggested that Tebow's higher completion % in college is somehow indicative of professional success.

Show me a dumber post in this thread than either of those.

KnowMo's posts still win the thread.

You're right.


Every single successful QB who has ever played in the NFL has been a clone of the QB Prototype, no exceptions.

Chiefs fan speculating on whether a Bronco QB sucks.
Broncos fan doesn't have to speculate on whether Chiefs QB sucks.
