Jets to cut Tebow...could there be a place a the Panthers's roster?

[Frank Hollywood]

He just cleared waivers. Some team might still pick him up. Even if they do not he was thought of highly by the Broncos at one time and by the Jets when they traded for him. The NFL brain trust does get it wrong sometimes, especially with quarterbacks. Kurt Warner is one of the best ever and they whiffed on him. Tom Brady went in the sixth round.....

Some things just can't be fixed. He throws like an eight year old kid at a backyard game. Not his arm, his actual mechanics. Can he elude a tackler or two once he's moving? Sure, but that in no way makes him a quarterback.

Warner and Brady didn't get a chance in the league, show the world they weren't nfl qb material, and then suddenly Proved everyone wrong. The Golden Calf of Bristol had his shot and showed everyone he doesn't have what it takes.

Yes, his TEAM won games with him at qb, but the first chance Denver had he was benched. Because he sucks. Jets wouldn't even play him over mark friggin Sanchez. You don't think they played him in practice?? You think he literally sat on the bench every minute of every hour of every day? They didn't like what they saw so much he was third string behind that other nobody qb when Sanchez was benched.

Yet espn hypes him up as some awesome type of human being, America's icon and people can't accept reality because they want him to succeed so bad.

Ugh. Logic, reasoning and common sense are void in this thread, so I have no further place in this discussion.

Can you name another quarter back who won the heisman, was drafted in the first round, won more games than he lost his first season as a starter, won a playoff game as a starter and then never had a chance to start again and was told he is not good enough to play QB in the NFL? 

 

I think that is why this topic stays hot.  If someone would give him a chance then he would either prove that he sucks or he would prove he can get it done and then the issue would go away.

he's already proven that he sucks.

Should we bring back Brian St. Pierre too? He only got to play one game and he threw a touchdown pass.

How so?  He went 7-4 as a starter during the one year he got a chance to play.  He won a playoff game.  Does looking bad in practice make that meaningless?

 

 

Cant throw the ball worth a crap.

When someone goes 6 for 23 passing on a consistent basis, it probably means the TEAM won the game, not the QB. You can spin it anyway you want, which a lot of people in the national media like to do.

[Carl Spackler]

Looking bad in practice means you don't deserve a chance to play. Past stats have nothing to do with that, otherwise Jake would still be our starter because he won 5 playoff games for us. It's unsound logic. It's OK for you to still wear a The Golden Calf of Bristol jersey, but defend him to NFL GMs. They're the ones who need to hear you.

 

Hint: They're not gonna listen.

I love the new filter. The Golden Calf of Bristol is not NFL-caliber. That's why he's not on a roster. 

 

And since we're talking his "one shining season," here's a comparison:

 

The Golden Calf of Bristol completed 46.5 percent of his passes in 2011.

Jimmy Clausen completed 52.5 percent of his passes in 2010.

 

Jimmy Clausen completed 6 percent more passes than The Golden Calf of Bristol.

 

Jimmy Clausen.

Is that HST in your avatar?

Yes.  They had that record despite The Golden Calf of Bristol, not because of him.  Trent Dilfer's ass got the boot right after he won the Super Bowl and never got much of a chance after that either, DESPITE being a Super Bowl-winning QB.

 

Look dude, it's not that people don't agree that he didn't get much of a chance (despite him being horribly inaccurate when he got his actual chance), it's just that teams have CHOSEN not to play him despite his 'winning record' as a QB.

 

I think The Golden Calf of Bristol is a hell of a role model, but you don't see what's wrong with arguing about him not getting chance despite what actual NFL professionals have done when presented with the opportunity to play him?  They damn sure know more about the situation than you and me do.  That's the biggest problem I have with The Golden Calf of Bristol's fans... if the dude could play he would've been out there playing over Mark Butt fuging Fumble Sanchez of all people.

this is probably an inflammatory question to ask, but would you consider yourself an evangelical Christian?
