I don't get it.
He's saying that it's not that hard to not turn the ball over when you're handing it off to a RB 35 times a game.

Tebow has 7 touchdown passes and 1 interception, and he's only started 4 games. He's not throwing the ball much, but he's taking good care of it. That's fairly important for an inexperienced quarterback.
Jeez you're really defensive of Tebow. It's almost like you have the word Broncos in your username or something.

Ha. It hasn't been easy being a fan lately, so pardon me if I'm digging for something positive.

I have said numerous times that Tebow has a LONG way to go, and he may never get there (as far as being an effective long-term NFL quarterback). Obviously I'm hoping that's not true, but I'm not looking at it COMPLETELY through orange-colored glasses.

Good to finally know what socnorb means. And I concur, you've fairly rationalized away some of the anti-Tebow hype, without the koolaid of a bronco fan, or someone who has an autographed copy of his biography.

And good lord, the injuries have always been a big factor in football - but is it my imagination injuries are up this year, especially the season-ending variety.

It's becoming a war of attrition.

I play in a 32 team fantasy league (it's as absurd as it sounds) where there are zero Free Agents that actually play, and yeah....I have about 5 of my 20 positions where everyone I could play is on IR. It's ridiculous (both the league and the injuries)

waiting to hear from socnorb.

All he does is win It's crazy.

Sconorb, do you think they're taking the ball out of Tebow's hands too much early in the games? It seems like every game they stall on offense and then when they finally hand the ball to Tebow in the 4th quarter, they wake up. I'm starting to wonder if it's less 4th quarter magic from Tebow and more him finally getting a chance to get into a good rhythm.

Can we change the thread title to the 2011 TFL season?
