Tim Tebow in a perfect nutshell.

I ripped this off from Will Pitt's Facebook page:

<snip>
The reason why is speed. Speed doesn’t just kill; speed is currency in football. It’s the dollar, the deutsche mark. A player without a basic modicum of it is a brontosaurus in a league of tyrannosaurus rex.

That lack of speed is evident in three critical phases of Tebow’s game: His throwing motion, his mental acuity and his ability to avoid tacklers.

It’s not simply that he can't do these things now. We knew that. What's stunning, upon closer examination, is the rapidity with which these skills have been lost.

Tebow never had shit when it came to skills needed for the pros. He found a gimmick which drew attention to himself. So instead of looking at whether or not he had what it takes for the NFL they were attracted by his gimmick.

You are getting almost as bad as El Supremo when Tebow was with Denver with your frequency of Tebow posts.

No matter how bad the guy stinks it up, he continues to hit the front page of news.

I'm reading about my Phins in the Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, and he's on the front page with the headline---"Tebow may not make cut".

Come on---you gotta admit it's quite the phenomena.

Oh---and I do admit it's fun to see him flame.
