I heard someone say LeBron James should sign with the Broncos as their QB for the first three quarters and then they can put in Tebow for the fourth quarter.

I'm actually really excited about tonight's game. It's very rare that you're able to make a definitive statement based on a single regular-season game, but that might be the case tonight. If Tebow is able to gain ground on the Jets tonight, the option attack will become this year's wildcat. If they get crushed, you'll likely see everyone copy what the Jets do, and that may be it for Tebow.

I'm not a Tebow fan, but part of me really wants to see this option attack succeed. I'd love it if more teams implemented wildly different formation styles, rather than the slight tweaks of roughly the same offensive system we have right now.

While I agree it really would be exciting, there are a couple of problems with it:

1. to be truly successful with such an attack over a long period, you have to be able to throw the ball with more than 50% accuracy to keep defenses honest. Right now its working for the Broncos because they've played teams with inconsistent offenses. Its a system that works when the scores are close, but what happens if the other team can consistently move the ball and put points on the board? Heck, even the Jets missed two FGs that would have been the difference in the game despite their offensive ineptitude, not to forget that the Jets also handed the Broncos a defensive TD. A 17-13 win very well could have been a 10-19 loss.

2. Tebow's (or any "QB" that runs such an offense) career lifespan will be no more than that of your average RBs, so likely only 3 years, maybe 5 simply because of all the hits they'll be guaranteed to absorb. That's fine if you can keep finding a replacement player to take over the position with frequency, but that's likely just too impractical to expect consistent success from.
 
So who has Tebow beat with a WINNING record? .500 doesn't count as winning. The Raiders is the only team... who has only beat 1 winning team themselves. What happened in that game with the winning team he faced (Detroit)

The Jets had a winning record until the he beat them, so I think they count.

Jeeze....can Tampa Bay be any less disciplined? Good grief. Green Bay is tough enough and you have them on a 3rd and 20. Then two neutral zone infractions?
 
Stupid Raiders, gave Vikes 45 offensive yards from penalties. If I was the Raiders GM, I'd fire the defensive coordinator, and get someone in there that can train the knuckleheads on how to play discipline football.
