QB:<\/p>\n<p>1. The long release on his motion forces him to either make a decision to throw too early or take too long to throw, making pressure more effective. AKA Byron Leftwich syndrome.<\/p>\n<p>2. He misses reads. A lot.<\/p>\n<p>3. On top of that, his accuracy isn&#8217;t amazing either.<\/p>\n<p>All of those hurt, but #2 is murder. Using logical fallacies doesn&#8217;t change the fact that he&#8217;s very limited as a QB. Steelers just blew coverage lol.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>THAT&#8217;S why no one has confidence in Tim Tebow as a starting quarterback.  That and the fact that he threw for &#8211; 1 yards in his last game against the Buccaneers! Here is what <a href=\"http:\/\/scores.espn.go.com\/nfl\/recap?gameId=330816017\">one article<\/a> said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>TEBOW STILL DOESN&#8217;T HAVE IT: Patriots third-string quarterback Tim Tebow had a bad throwing night, completing just one of seven passes. He would have gained more yards passing if they were all incomplete since the one that was caught resulted in a 1-yard loss.<\/p>\n<p>And he overthrew a ball that was intercepted. But he did run six times for 30 yards, second-most for the Patriots. In his other game, he completed 4 of 12 passes for 55 yards.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And <a href=\"http:\/\/www.patspulpit.com\/2013\/8\/16\/4629654\/new-england-patriots-vs-tampa-bay-buccaneers-recap-25-21\">another<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>All you need to know about Tim Tebow&#8217;s night is that he was one-of-seven passing for only negative one yards. Tebow also threw one absolutely terrible interception to nobody in particular. I have praised Tebow throughout camp &#8212; despite criticizing him his entire career &#8212; but tonight was Tebow at his worst. Even though Tebow was downright awful, I still don&#8217;t think a performance was like this is enough to get him cut because of his ability running the ball, where he tallied 30-yards on six rushing attempts. In every single way Ryan Mallett was better tonight, connecting on 12-of-20 passes for 137 yards and one touchdown. Mallett had a few passes that lacked touch but had some other very impressive attempts, including his 22-yard touchdown pass to Zach Sudfeld.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So&#8230; It certainly <a href=\"http:\/\/profootballtalk.nbcsports.com\/2013\/08\/29\/tonight-could-be-tebows-last-stand\/related\/\">looks like its curtains<\/a> for Tim Tebows quarterback career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"StumbleUpon\",\"Digg\",\"Reddit\",\"Bebo\",\"Delicious\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Haven%27t%20Done%20Sports%20In%20A%20While...%20%20Sports...%20Tim%20Tebow%20Edition.%20And%20A%20Little%20YouTube%20Banter.\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div><p>First&#8230; Here&#8217;s Skip Bayless extolling the greatness that is Tim Tebow.
