Are You Ready For Some Football?

I’m scratching my head, trying to figure out what the hype surrounding Tim Tebow is all about. Is it because he’s religious and prays?
Check out the following stats:
Tim Tebow stats: quarterback rating 72.9, total passing yards 2011 season: 1729. They say he is a duel threat. He rushed for a total of 660 this season. So, total yardage is 2389. 47% Completion rating. His worst completion rating was 27%.He had a quarterback rating of 20 against KC. With these stats he is the great American hope? He’s been in the pros for a couple of years and he’s 24.
Let’s compare him with one of his peers:
Most people don’t even know Mathew Stafford by name. He’s Detroit’s QB. His QB rating is 97.2, total passing yards for the 2011 season: 5038 (twice as much as Tebow), 63.5% completion rating. His worst completion rating was 59%. High QB rating of 137. He’s been in the pros for 3 years and he’s only 23. Right now, a year younger than Tebow with the same amount of experience, his stats are comparable with great quarterbacks like Brady or Rogers.
So, I’m skeptical when people talk about how great he’s going to be in a few years. Even if Denver designs a college type offense, the guy is not great at passing the ball. I can understand if Tebow had the passing talents of a Stafford and the rushing talents of Michael Vick or Vince Young but he doesn’t.
Maybe they think he has a direct line to God. *Being sarcastic*
