"C'mon dawg put me in?" |
That's why I'm trippin' off of boyz that keep blasting Tim Tebow for his inability to throw the football because they are simply putting him in the traditional quarterback box. Yes, his mechanics are awful. His ability to drop back in the pocket and throw the football down field sucks and his completion percentage is terrible. However, his ability to lead a team is astronomical. There is no debating his ability to win games when it counts. They used to call that being clutch but now they just refer to it as Tebow! Why, because he's a football player bruh!
All of the critics are having a field day laughing at the Jets for picking up Tebow because they are merely putting him into the traditional box. He's a real football player that can play multiple positions on the field and be effective. Let's keep it real son! He can be lined up in the slot(throw him bubble screens, option & underneath joints), at tight end, in the wild cat(he can run, throw or option out of it) and at quarterback all in the same series. Having he and Sanchez on the field at the same time makes it even more confusing for defenses. The Jets just have to be smart enough to take advantage of what they have. The freaking guy is 6'3" 250 plus pounds and very athletic. He doesn't have to be Tom Brady or Drew Brees with the football.
Let me take you to school real quick, playboy. Like I said earlier, when you are deficient in one area God blesses you in others in order to compensate. Guys like Brady, Brees and Manning are deficient in their ability to run with the football. Therefore, defenses understand that they aren't much of a threat to scramble. With that being said, they can zone in on their assignments and play the pass first. Therefore, the windows that they have to throw into are naturally going to be smaller. Those types of quarterbacks HAVE to be extremely accurate with the football.
Their windows have been that small since they started playing little league ball because they've never had the ability to run with the football. Therefore, these guys have been FORCED over the years to become EXTREMELY accurate passers because of the windows that they've had to climb through.
Tebow's windows however, have never been as small because he plays on the fly and isn't afraid of contact so you have to be able to account for that defensively. While playing against him you can't just line up and pin your ears back on one assignment because there's always the possibility that he'll run the joint down your throat or at the last minute dump it off. All you need him to do is be able to dump the joint off anyway. He doesn't need to be able to throw that joint 40 or 50 yards on a strike. That's what your traditional quarterback HAS to do bruh.
With the threat of him keeping it always looming his windows are a lot bigger than your traditional pocket passer. We saw that last year against the Steelers in the playoffs. The best safety in the game, Troy Polamalu, was confused all night, right along with the other Pittsburgh defensive backs. As a result, he threw for 316 yards on only 10 completions without being a very accurate at all. He just needed to throw the freaking ball in the area whereas guys like Brady or Brees have to hit a boy in the mouth in order to complete it. That's the difference between Tebow and the traditional quarterback.
So it's completely asinine to compare the two because defenses have to play them differently. Brady for example, is throwing into a 12" window every time because boyz know he isn't a threat to run it. While Tebow is throwing into a 110" window because he is. It's like Kobe shooting into a regular basket playing against a guy that is shooting into a basketball that's eight times bigger. He doesn't have to be a better shooter than Kobe to beat him.
If the window is always bigger he doesn't have to be as accurate! The fact that Tebow is 6'3" 250lbs makes it easier for him to take off and run because he's delivering more punishment to corners and safeties than they are to him. Michael Vick is listed at 6'0" 215 but that's being generous. He's more like 5'11" 190lbs and he can't take the contact like Tebow can. He's broken more ribs than he can afford to at this point. If Mike breaks another one this year he's gonna have to ask his woman for that joint back that God made her out of. Tebow isn't going to have that problem because he's a beast and can absorb the contact.
If the Jets are smart they'll use the guy all over the field because he's a football player first that can help their team win games. USC lost the 2005 National Championship to Texas in the Rose Bowl on that 4th and 2 because Pete Carrolle didn't have Reggie Bush on the field. Everybody in the building knew that Lendale White was going to run it up the gut. If Reggie had just been on the field, Texas would have had to account for him. They could have ran the same freaking play but boyz would have been watching Bush and White walks for two yards and the 1st down game over.
If the Jets are smart they'll keep Tebow and Sanchez on the field as often as they can to keep boyz honest. More than anything Tim Tebow has the ability to do the one thing that very few people have ever been able to do and that's Lead Men!!! He's a natural born leader bruh! To not have him on the field at all times is like showing up to a gun fight with a butter knife.
Holla At Ya Boy!
