From post 57 above - Roy said:
"The real tests are coming up though as Slammy said. I am not so much concerned with Minnesota and not even with Chicago as much for tht matter either now that they have lost Cutler. New England and Buffalo will be difficult though and then they end up with the Chiefs at home (in what will likely be Todd Haley's last game as Chiefs Head Coach). So I see them finishing 9-7 maybe 8-8, which might be good enough to win the Division, depending on what Oakland does against what appears to be a tougher schedule. "
Was I right?
Here is a summary of Tebow's passing stats for his run as a starter this year with Denver:
10/23 vs. Dolphins - 13/27 161 yards 2 TD 0 INT 91.7 QB rating
10/30 vs. Lions - 18/39 172 yards 1 TD 1 INT 56.8 QB rating
11/6 vs. Raiders - 10/21 124 yards 2 TD 0 INT 98.1 QB rating
11/13 vs. Chiefs - 2/8 69 yards 1 TD 0 INT 102.6 QB rating
11/17 vs. Jets - 9/20 104 yards 0 TD 0 INT 61.2 QB rating
11/27 vs. Chargers - 9/18 143 yards 1 TD 0 INT 95.4 QB rating
12/4 vs. Vikings - 10/15 202 yards 2 TD 0 INT 149.3 QB rating
12/11 vs. Bears - 12/19 115 yards 0 TD 0 INT 79.9 QB rating
12/18 vs. Patriots - 11/22 194 yards 0 TD 0 INT 80.5 QB rating
12/24 vs. Bills - 13/29 185 yards 1 TD 3 INT 37.9 QB rating
1/1 vs. Chiefs - 6/22 60 yards 0 TD 1 INT 20.6 QB rating
Season - 126/271 1729 yards 12 TD 6 INT 7 Fumbles 72.0 QB rating
The stats speak for themselves. I am not going to analyze that. Tebow had a few good games and is a proven leader but he is just not an NFL passing quarterback. A zone-read option offense is not a sustainable solution in today's NFL. Looks like the winning streak is over. Reality has set in. PLEASE STOP DRINKING THE COOL-AID.
If he comes out and throws for 25 completions 300 yards, 3 TDs and has a QB rating over 125 and beats the Steelers then I will eat my words. If not, Denver will be looking for a QB in free agency or through the draft. If they can't get Luck or RGIII they should sign a journeyman to get them through next year then go for Barkley in the 2013 draft.
HOOK 'EM!
