Co-sign.

However, I'll take a 4-1 team with close wins and had a shot to win in New England instead of a 2-3 team with 2 blowout wins and 3 disasters.

While we're talking about Tim Tebow, if he becomes the starter and gets regular reps and practice, those throws to the receivers feet will start hitting their numbers. He's got things to work on, but not once did I see him make a questionable decision on the field.

History suggests that, and last year it wasn't enough. However, we can't always count on them improving as the season progresses.

Far from the worst 4-1 team ever, just winning sloppy. Remember, for the last 4 years we've been 2-3 at this point of the season.. I think after the bye week, Rivers will come out guns blazing looking to remind people just how good he is.

I couldn't be happier with the Chargers right now. I know Rivers has struggled, and the New England game was a debacle but still they're winning games early in the season and the Mathews/Tolbert duo has been dynamic. Once Rivers hits his stride, this team is going to be one of the most dangerous in the league.

Also, who cares about Denver's starter? Orton, Tebow, and Quinn all suck.

There's a huge difference between saying Orton's win percentage last year was lower than Tebow's and saying that whoever has the highest YPC is a team's best runner. This is one of the dumbest arguments I've ever seen.

the 09 to 10 broncos is hardly an entirely different team. it doesnt matter orton or tebow neither one can win with how bad they both are and most of the rest of the team are.

And in what way does this Cowboys team look exactly the same?

the poor play calling, the mental mistakes, the stupid penalties, the turnovers, the late game errors and collapses. Its eerily similar

Quote:

Last year: Defense ranked 23rd This year: Defense is ranked 4th

this stat is misleading since the '11 cowboys are ranked 23rd in points allowed.

Quote:

Last year: Offense ranked 7th This year: Offense ranks 6th And this is including how horrific they looked against Washington when they couldn't snap a ball or run a single correct route.

last year they ranked 7th in O with kitna playing most of the games and even a mcgee start. they also played awful last year against washington. So 6th with romo seems about the same.

Tebow has the ability to pump up his teammates with his energy. I saw it last year in the final 3 games, I saw it yesterday.
Also, he will have poor "eye stats" but what he did was by far better than Orton ever did when he was in the game. Tebow got the Broncos 14 points and in a position to win the game. Orton got them 3 freakin points and a turnover.
Its time to see if Tebow can improve over the season and if not, guess what, maybe they'll win the Suck for Luck bowl.

Tebow isnt pumping anyone up its the change thats pumping them up. Whenever a team is doing bad and they make a major change the team almost always plays with a renewed energy.

And tebow wasnt some offensive wizard. All but one of ortons drives started at his on 23 or worse, the only one that didnt he put points on the board. all the drive that tebow started at the 23 or worse failed just as bad as orton and he scored on 2 shorter fields than orton had all day.

For someone who doesn't care who is the Denver starter you sure do seem to care quite a bit.
