Jets would never sign him unless the owner took control.

Couldn't make them any worse.

 

[Tamanon]

Today you laugh.
Tomorrow he signs.

Jets already came out and stated they're not even going to look at him. They seem content with their awesome, Jags-esque receiving corps.

What would happen to the balance of the world if Tebow threw a TD pass to TO?

 

[yankeehater]

True. But where Alex fails compared to most QBs is that he takes sacks when he shouldn't. He won't throw it away or even attempt a difficult throw. He's at the bottom of that ranking b/c he doesn't even give himself or his team the chance to make a positive play

Why would he? If he forces a throw under pressure there is a chance he turns the ball over and either gives the other team points, or good field position. The 9ers D is so far beyond anything in the NFL they should be doing anything they can to limit turnovers. Teams are not going to go 80 yards to score on them much.

And there is the reason he can never be elite. He will never win or lose a game for us.... Just like harbs likes it!

Huh, I never knew he bet on football. Weird.

That happens when you hang out with a shady Packer like Hornung.

You're a Bucs fan, right? Put him above DM!

Nope, I have class. Niners fan.

Actually, I am gonna add a computer science degree (starting next year) so it will be way more than 5 years for me. Might get in touch with you boys for pointers...

Maybe if I'm smart enough by then I'll help.

http://blog.sfgate.com/49ers/2012/09/20/attention-alex-when-in-doubt-take-a-sack/

I'll just quote the whole article since it's pertinent to the whole sack discussion.

Since the start of the 2011 season, 49ers quarterback Alex Smith has thrown the fewest interceptions in the NFL (5) and taken the most sacks (51).

In the minds of the 49ers’ coaching staff, those numbers explain why Smith ranks second among NFL quarterbacks in wins (15) during that span.

Today, offensive coordinator Greg Roman echoed what Smith said Wednesday – there are worse things than sacks. And the worst alternative is a turnover, which is to be avoided at all costs.

It’s clear Smith has been instructed to err on the side of caution when he’s under pressure, which helps explain all those sacks … and Smith’s streak of 216 straight regular-season passes without an interception.

Roman referred to statistics that detail how sacks will typically kill drives, but don’t have a strong correlation to wins and losses. Turnovers on the other hand …

“One thing you’ve got to consider is what’s your ultimate goal?’ Roman said. “If you’re ultimate goal is to keep you stats low in sacks, then he needs to get rid of the ball. Our ultimate goal is to win games … You don’t lose games because you get sacked, generally. You lose games by turning the ball over and not scoring enough points.”

Said Smith: “I think there is some give and take with not just forcing balls and getting rid of a ball. And a sack’s not the end of the world. Sometimes the best thing is to protect it in the pocket and take a sack.”

Smith said he’s tried to emulate Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who routinely tries to make plays with his feet when pressured rather than throwing downfield. Rodgers’ numbers are startlingly similar to Smith’s in two categories. Since the start of the 2011 season, Rodgers ranks second in the NFL in interceptions (8) and has taken 44 sacks, the four-most in the league.

“The guy I’ve watched a lot of film on, you watch Aaron play, a guy that takes a lot of sacks, but he also makes a lot plays with his feet, keeps plays alive,” Smith said. “There is some give and take there I think.”

** Of course, taking sacks in an effort to avoid turnovers is also an excellent way to get the starting quarterback injured.

Smith has made 21 straight starts, the second-longest streak of his career, despite taking 60 sacks in those games. He also has lost just three fumbles during that span.

Roman said the 49ers’ quarterbacks are instructed on how to take a sack. At least, those sacks they can see coming.

“I think that gets covered, in terms of how to handle the ball and how to protect yourself as best you can,” Roman said. “… We really emphasize ball security at every position.”

Can you imagine if there was twitter and camera phones back in the 60s and 70s? The NFL would probably have been shut down. I'd love to read the tweets about the bar fights, the drugs, or see videos of Namath's drunken sprees.

I don't hate cheese, I like some...but sweet Tebow.

edit: Granted I do find something like this appetizing.

Queso Flameado...

but even then I don't do it that often unless I want to have some serious heart burn from all the grease. (and constipation sure..)

 

[GraveRobberX]

Let me guess the bottle in the back is a Diet Pepsi... she's watching her fucking calories!

 

[Greg]

People who like cheese put a slice or two on a sandwich, or maybe they cut up some pieces and put it on crackers.

That lady doesn't like cheese.

 

[Ultratech]

What would happen to the balance of the world if Tebow threw a TD pass to TO?

Cats and toast would fall upside down? (Opposite of what they typically land on.)

Political parties would get along?

Best Korea would actually become BEST Korea?

Yuck. I can't imagine eating a whole block of cheese. damn.

Yeah, seems a bit much. My stomach feels bad from looking at that.

The thing that hasn't been mentioned that I find the funniest in that picture is the box of Cheez-It's in the bag hanging on the back of the wheelchair.:jnc

 

[Dragon]

I mean I wouldn't recommend it but I like cheese enough to deal with being clogged up.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Eat whatever you like, but don't try to overdo it and stereotype yourself in

I eat big meals, doesn't mean when I hang out I have to have a 2 liter soda bottle and block of fucking cheese to chew through to show "I'm hungry"

Racist.

Canada has done nothing to harm you. Unless you went to Quebec...in which case I apologize.

They are pretty awesome. One of my friends is a pretty hardcore Packers fan. She gets pretty riled up if I ever try to insult them.
