You realize Tebow is on a team that had no real rushing attack, no offensive line, and that traded away it's two best receivers in consecutive years? For the same reasons I don't blame Kyle Orton (who also statistically outperformed expectations, except for the most arbitrary category: win-loss), you can't discount Tebow's contributions. Unlike most media, I don't attribute McGahee's gigantic rushing average to Tebow, but rather to the scheme change that his passing skills precipitated--but it doesn't change the fact that Tebow is operating within a scheme that suits his talents and the team is more successful as a result. I discounted his performance because his defense is allowing 13 points a game, but compared to Flacco, who routinely costs his outstanding defense field position and ultimately points, Tebow is outperforming offensive expectations and, at the very least, not putting his defense in a hole. Flacco has 17 turnovers (1.5/game), Tebow has 5 (.8ish, depending on how much credit you give him for week 5 against SD.)

Dont get me wrong, I don't want Tebow as my "franchise QB" either, because defenses will adjust to the more exotic play calls and scout teams will be able to better model their attack (linebacker scrape, anyone?) But defenses dont HAVE to adjust to Flacco--he sucks just fine in his own, and has for a while. He is the perfect example of the Franchise QB myth... He is serviceable in antiquated passing statistics, n a talented team that finds ways to win around him, and is given the benefit of the doubt. Is he the worst signal caller in the league? No... Caleb Hanie and Tyler Palko both have jobs. But his performance is utterly unworthy of his exalted status with the media and, apparently, Ravens organization.

Then again, when your oranization celebrates a Super Bowl with Trent Dilfer, in a season in which Ray Lewis once told his offense to hurry up and get off the field so the defense could score the game-winner, you probably aren't privy to the higher level thought processes required to divorce binary results from statistical probabilities when it comes to your QBs.

In conclusion, yrogerg is the type of moron who triumphantly hits 12 against the dealer's 6.
