With a winning record as the starter for an otherwise 4-14 team in 2010-11.
The ONLY Heisman QB in the last quarter century that also has an NFL Playoff win.
Note:
The Steelers #1 in the NFL Defense had only given up 6 completions of 30+ yds all season. Tebow threw 5 of 30+ in that one playoff game. They had only given up a total of 7 plays of Any Kind of over 30 yds all season. Not once all season had they given up a 30+ yard completion on a 3rd down. Tim's 51 yard completion to Demaryius Thomas was on a 3rd down. > All 5 of Tebow's 30+ yard completions were completed 15+ yards down field, not one was a short pass or slip screen pass with a big WR run to pad Tim's passing yards stats.
Tim's 12 second OT, 80 yard TD pass, was also an NFL Playoff Record.
In the last 10 years, the Steel-Curtain defense had NEVER given up even two 50+ yard passes in any one game. Tebow threw 3 on them in that Playoff game. Not to bad for a rookie (15th start) unsupported QB with a weak and inaccurate arm.....
In fact, that Steeler team had only give up one pass of 45+ yards all season, and that one was with most of the 45 yards coming after the catch.
Further, NO QB since the NFL/AFL merger in 1970 had ever completed 3 passes of 50+ yards in ANY single game.
More proof, in their 1st 16 starts, Tebow threw for 300+ yards twice.
Compared to:
Tom Brady - two 300+ games
Drew Brees - two 300+ games
Aaron Rogers - three 300+ games
In their first 16 NFL starts, and none of them started as rookies either, and none of them had their top 2 veteran WR's traded away before dumping them in cold off the bench for a 1-4 team that had gone 4-14 over the last 2 season with a 7-8 year veteran QB (Orton) who Denver had traded Jay Cutler to the Bears to get.
In his first 16 NFL starts, Tebow had:
~ A better W/L record (9-7) than Peyton Manning had (3-13)
~ A better rookie QB Rating (82.1) with the Broncos that El' Dim-way had (54.9).
Tebow threw 19 TD's to 9 Ints, while both Peyton and Elway both threw more Ints than TD's. Plus
Tebow ran for an additional 1,047 yards and 13 more TD's.
So yep, every negative thing that is said about Tebow is true and justified, just ask any paid entertainer, media-moron, or idiot-commentator....
And I'll always wonder how Tebow might have done by now, (would be starting his 6 year in the NFL) IF a team had taken him in and given him every
'designated starter' advantage that most of those other 1st round draft picks got, and if he didn't have a player strike that cancelled his first off-season team improvements.
Mostly what Tim has been handed so far is the sticky chit-end of the stick, and even so, he has both Bronco and NFL passing records to his name.
