There's a lot more to playing QB than completion percentage. Te ow is not even close to the worst QB ever.

Exactly my point. With a 46% completion percentage, what the hell does he bring to the table that makes up for that?

Just threw up in my mouth. Like the offensive tackle who leads the league in giving up sacks but is on a good team, he just wins baby. Let's sign him too

Ability to run the football is probably Tebow's best skill. His INT% wasn't bad the one year he started. I'm not saying he's good or even that he wasn't terrible at throwing the ball, but he was far from the worst. Ryan Lindley has about 300 pass attempts in his career, 1 TD and 9 INTs. Tebow is a God compared to that.

Lindley was asked to attempt 44 and then 39 passes in his two games as a starter last year. If Tebow was asked to do that, get your popcorn it will be great Although Lindley is the closest comparison to Tebow suckage in recent years

Obviously Tebow wouldn't have fared well throwing a bunch of passes but he'd have done better than Lindley. Lindley is literally immune to throwing TD's and throws a bunch of INTs. With all those passes you can guarantee Tebow would have mixed in a TD. If you're a reasonable guy then you can look at the numbers, not just the one you want and see that Tebow kills him in stats like TD to INT ratio.

He has been awful in practice.

At Florida, coaches and teammates from time to time fretted during the week about the team’s ability to win on Saturday based on his poor performances in practice. And then, come Saturday, he’d get it together.

As a rookie in Denver, there was talk of Tebow being exiled to the receiver position before he got a chance to play quarterback at the end of the season.

The following year, he fell to the bottom of the depth chart before an inexplicable midseason leapfrogging of Brady Quinn. And Tebowmania was born.

The Patriots critically injured Tebowmania during the regular season then killed it in the playoffs. Denver G.M. John Elway declared Tebowmania to be dead when acquiring Peyton Manning in March 2012, and the Jets buried the carcass during a forgettable one-year experiment that resulted in a very little playing time because he was so bad in practice.

In 2013, the man that killed Tebowmania tried to resuscitate it, with Belichick bringing Tebow to New England, reuniting him with former Broncos coach Josh McDaniels. But Tebow didn’t make the final roster cut, and he has disappeared from the NFL since then.

Shocked more companies haven't tried to make the quick buck. Now is the time to do it.

I am reasonable. I was only able to watch Lindley play two games, where he attempted 39 and 44 passes, and absolutely sucked arse. I got to watch Tebow suck arse for an entire season while them trying to make the system about him. I guess I will say Lindley may be worse, but until I see him do that for an entire season I cant commit to it

Am I the only one who finds it crazy that Tebow has found a way back into the NFL. But JaMarcus Russell can't even make a roster?
