Tipped Ball = Tebow's Greatness

This is probably Germans, but I don't understand why the first touchdown that McCray tipped into Harvin's hands is recognized as such a great play on Tebow's part? Of course the stats show a 70 yard TD pass, but in reality it was a poorly thrown ball and should have been picked off. Yet, every highlight I have seen, the commentator notes how great of a play it was by Tebow.
I don't need a lecture on everything else that went wrong with the team, just answer the question or comment on the subject if you care to participate in this thread.

If he doesn't go for the INT and just plays Harvin, it's 3 and out...but oh well...can't get mad at him for trying to make the play.

the ball was underthrown and tebow benefited greatly by the fact that danny mc cray was in coverage (funny how every defense seems to find #44) .. i think colt david would have intercepted the pass ..

I sort of agree with you here. The media gets something in their heads, logical or not, and it becomes fact. I'm a little embarrassed every time I see that play. I mean, it counts the same on the scoreboard, but Tebow has been noticeably off this year. It was really odd coming back from teh game and watching Lou Holtz and Mark May put Tebow back up in the top 3 for the Heisman.

I agree that it wasn't the best pass.
He also had a subpar game againsts Ole Miss, but still the following week the media was rallying around him (the "no one will work harder than me" sound bytes).
I think commentators and the media find it hard to criticize him because of the way he handles himself on and off the field.
Kinda of like a Kennedy, he always comes out sqeaky clean.

Best thing Tebow did on that play was look off Taylor

Did they pull or move McCray after that play? I don't remember seeing him much after that.

Harvin was open by at least 5 yards, and the ball was badly underthrown. McCray did Tebow a favor by tipping the ball up.

Tebow whipped our arse. He is good.

Can you imagine where that game would have gone IF that ball had actually been intercepted for a pick 6 instead of tipped? I wonder...

Probably the same thing as last years Fla/Lsu game where Tebow bounced the ball off his recievers helmet and it was grabbed by a Tiger. The sports writers called it a "great defensive play" but was nothing more than chance happening. Typical media....always trying to make more than whats really there. I saw the "wounded duck" pass. I dont know if it could have been picked off (thought it was too high) but the catch was lucky.

Tebow isn't a great QB in the traditional sense, he is a great player though, but i do get sick of the media lovefest

For how "off" Tebow has been this year, he is still leading the conference in Passing Efficiency. I think he is getting unfairly treated, since he DID win the Heisman last season.
But believe it or not, if we win every game from here on out, he will be in New York AGAIN for the Heisman trophy presentation.
Stats aren't all there but I do believe he has improved a lot.

Totally agree with you - this made the highlights of every show - when in reality - it was indeed not a well thrown ball. If not for a step or perhaps tipping the ball towards himself, it could have been an int.
So yes, I agree that this was an overrated play.

That play was more evidence of why McCray just for some reason gets burned badly at least once each game. If the player doesn't do it, he'll make up for it himself
