    apparently you didnt see my link earlier about tebow having the lowest completion percentage of an 11 game starter in 10+ years. well since you didnt, let me refresh your memory.

    check out last year's completion percentage. try to find tebow. hint: he is dead last. 34th.

    http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/player/_/stat/passing/sort/completionPct

    brees and rodgers are at the top. thats because completion percentage correlates with good quarterbacking. you can choose not to believe that, but that would be stupid.it should not be hard for you to understand that if there is a stat, and brees and rodgers are at the top, then you dont want to be at the bottom.

    francouer is a right fielder, which is a position that is supposed to produce offensively, not like catcher or SS where you can get by being a defensive wizard. francouer currently has an on base percentage of 303. this is terrible and if you have any understanding of baseball, you are aware that a man with this level of skill should never stand on a big league field. are you familiar with VORP? value over replacement player? his is negative. that means a replacement player, who costs nothing and is almost infinitely available is an upgrade.

    like what? heart? clutchness? right. tebow was pretty clutch when he lost 4 of his last 5 to end the season. and when he threw a slew of pick 6s in the 4th quarter in the final few games.

    the things that you describe as subjective can still be measured objectively. like a guy like drew brees. he is short and not all that fast. so some of his personal stats are against him. but he is objectively terriic, as proved by his in-game stats. he has skills that are not measured by his size or speed, but are measured nonetheless by qb rating and completions. tebow is the opposite. good athlete, very strong, absolutely a fucking nightmare on the field.

    so the point is that your stats fro the combine do not matter. vertical leap is not that important. 40 times are not relevant. the thing that makes a good quarterback is a strong accurate arm, and field vision and smarts (rodgers, brees, manning, brady, not one of these guys is super fast or athletic, and they are 4 of the best to every play the game.). tebow has no vision, is stupid, and is wildly inaccurate. and these are not subjective points i get from watching him. these are objective realities, demonstrated vividly by the statistics

    again, this is why he lost his starting job, and who not one other team wants to start him. what exactly can you disagree with here? i am overwhelmingly and punishingly right about this, and have been since before his college career even ended. and francouer is famously know by all baseall observers as a case in point for irrational team management.

    again, the fact that you are not wholeheartedly agreeing with me is just more evidence for my teory that most people just dont give a damn about logic, and stumble through life analyzing with total and utter stupidity.

    so, in conclusion, it is not surprising that in a nation where tebow is one of the most popular players, it isnt suprising that we vote for obama, a man with almost no actual leadership skill, but a ton of charm.

    as a new yorker, i can take solace in the fact that the giants are not run by incompetent clods and that eli manning, while sort of unpopular personally, with bad body language and having his rah-rah leadership and heart called into question by people like tiki barber, still brings home titles by actually throwing accurate passes and being smart.

    side note: i believe QB rating to be a slightly more important metric than completion %. i also believe that aaron rodgers is the best QB that ever lived, which is why his rating is so insanely high. objective statistics are your friend and you should always trust them over media hype.

    Well one of us is a successful university researcher and one of us is a lounge lizard. What does that logic tell you about your analysis, Tony?

    it reinforces my point. even the decisionmakers in KC think jeff francouer should play. at one point the brass in denver thought tebow could play. you are voting for obama. there is no level of success that isnt infected with complete irrationality. or, to put it another way, even our presidents are christians.
