NFL 101

So all, I know I am promising to do a Matt Forte story, and that might still come out, but right now I'm a bit fired up about something.

Tim Tebow. The guy is not a NFL quarterback. Whew! Finally somebody said it. Isn't everyone relieved!

This guy ran around in a NFL football game, without purpose or a single idea what was suppose to happen for 50 game minutes on Sunday. He was getting shut out by the Miami Dolphins, one of the sorriest teams in the league. The and only then does he happen to get lucky enough to have a receiver break free on a broken play, throw a screen pass (which his throw was horrible), and all of a sudden he's not only the NCAA's poster boy, he's now the NFL poster boy.

What has me most fired up is, I opened my NFL app on my iPad (awesome app by the way), and I see a story headline, "First and 10: Tebow the Hero"

WWWHHAAATTTT!?!?

Really!? Didn't anyone who watched the game see how horrible he was? The guy can't read a defense so he runs. The guy can't throw so he has a completion percentage under 50%. The guy can't play QB in the NFL so the Broncos had him on the bench to start the year. Oh! And not only was he on the bench he was the 3RD STRING QUARTERBACK!

So now, cause the Broncos fell on a game the Dolphins didn't want to win as it would have ruined their Luck (get what I did there?), we all get to hear how, "this kid just knows how to win football games..." Blah blah blah...

This is suppose to be a new golden age of quarterback play. When the AFL merger finally makes an impact (sure after 30+ years). The year when not only one QB breaks Dan Marino's passing record, but multiple QBs break that record. The year Tom Brady plays like no other QB could, Drew Brees throws for more yards than anyone has, and Aaron Rodger out plays both of them.

But no, the NFL, ESPN, FOX, and CBS will cram Tebow down our throats so much Tim will question his virginity.

May this be the voice of reason, at least for a little bit. I'm glad the world is caught in Tebow-mania, I'll stay right here in reality.
