And how many of those are QBs? But nah, let's just play the race card instead.
Edit: Please don't put bullshit in my mouth. To act like it's based solely on race is complete bullshit too.

Cant wait till Flacco whoops that ass next week.
That's because most QB's are white and they obviously would sell the most jerseys.

You're racist.

Again, quarterbacks. 7 out of those 10 are also quarterbacks. People always buy QB jerseys and QB's are mostly white. People always look for racism in places where there are perfectly logical explanations.
damn beaten twice
It does open up a discussion though about whether black quarterbacks are given equal opportunities to white ones.
I'm really not sure, though.
QBs are mostly white? Stop being racist.

And it's funny because #3 overall and the first non-QB is Polamalu who apparent has been ignored most of his career because he's not white.
Do we know if the pool coming into the NHL is as big? It's like asking if white safetys or WRs get the same opportunities. I would say you can't draw anything unless we know the breakdown by race for each position.
I want my kids to grow up ignorant and intolerant!

You mean that guy in the hair commercials? What team is he on?

Dunno. I've never actually seen him so I can't comment.
If his team didn't suck so much he would have gotten a lot more attention than Tebow. He's all I heard about when he was throwing 300+ yds each week.

He's at least in the discussion for top throwing fullback of all time.

Yeah, Cam Newton is every bit as big a star right now (maybe bigger) than Tebow. His team just isn't in the playoffs, let alone coming off an upset playoff win like Tebow's.
90% of the Tebow stuff is because he kinda sucks. With Newton, it's questions like whether he'll be one the best of all time. The two are not even on the same level.

400 yards... rushing?
If the Panthers played in the AFC West, they probably would be in the playoffs.
They might want to think about assembling something that looks like a defense too.
400 yard drive to end the game.
That's a lot of penalties. If he was still at Florida it might be possible.

The offense with Tebow scored a weak 18.5 points
The offense punted more than anyone.
The stretch of games Tebow started was against a combined point differential of -168
The last 11 for the Giants was +727

but they're all black, so that makes NBA fans more racist
These are both rational opinions in my views and clearly separate football from religion and ESPNs fabricated "Tebowmania".
Excellent opinion, and I think it hits the nail right on the head. Outside of thanking his savior in his own way, he doesn't ramble on or try to convert on the spot. He's a sophomore QB that has been told over and over again that he won't succeed. The funny part is that being told a person cannot do something is one of the most powerful motivators.
You didn't post my more relevant one.

I'm sure. When is the last time a Gata QB won a playoff game before this one?
And? I'm not saying he's a bad guy, but thinking god prioritizes Tim Tebow winning a football game is hilarious.

Well I think for those of us in the real world the idea is more about whether his faith is helping him in a tangible way that's showing on the field. That the answer is possibly yes isn't quite as hilarious.

Depends on the person. If someone is of the persuasion to believe that, who am I to correct them? I certainly do not go out of my way to tell a Christian that they are wrong or an atheist they are right. That's part of the problem anymore is that people on get so fired up over who is right and who is wrong that they end up not respecting each others beliefs.
I don't consider myself a Christian, but if Tebow wants to live a Christian lifestyle more power to him. If it enables the good in him and he can use that to improve society that is a good thing. I would say the same thing if it was an atheist enabling good in the world.

Has anyone watched that Tebow documentary that follows him through the draft? Any good?
Rex Grossman, in 2007 I think.
This was his QB rating during the regular season that year
Goddammit I want this
i'm sure someone could arrange that.
The ESPN one? I saw the last 20 minutes and I enjoyed it.
