Tebow Time · PACKERSHOME

I was certain that Kyle Orton was going to have a lights out year with passing yards. So sure, I was confident in having him as my starting QB. He had a great practice, looked sharp in pre season. Then I seen him throw a few the first two games, receivers dropped the ball seemingly often. Then he went down hill from there.

Brandon Lloyd will not be getting may yards or touchdowns this season because Tim Tebow is now the starting QB. The guy is a great competitor , no question, I just don't see him being able to pass it 35+ yards with any accuracy in the pro's.

The Broncos fans here are pretty damn excited for their game against Miami.

Tebow is 1 - 2 as a starting QB in the NFL.

I think Tebow is actually a solid NFL QB, judging from those three games last year. He won't post huge stats though. If I wanted a above average game-manager, Tebow would be on my list.

This is a placeholder

Whatever the case.. I'm rooting for the guy. One of seemingly very few rooting for him.

Rooting for him to succeed ... there are a plethora of those folks. If you wanna talk about people who think he CAN succeed as a professional QB, then yes, there are few who believe that. I'm one of them who does not think he can succeed at QB. 🙂

I can't even count how many times I've ran across the average NFL fan and how much they hate the kid and can't wait for him to fail. Of course Bronco fans are excited about him.. They got Kyle Orton for God sake! (of course, at least they don't have McNabb).

Kyle Orton is far from the problem, nor is he the solution. I had high hopes for his passing stats this year and he turned into a different QB once the games started being real. I wonder if the offensive line letting the defense walk through had any effect on that.

When I'm in Wisconsin, folks are pulling for him to succeed too. I guess I just hang out with a optimistic crowd and you hang out with negative Nancy's, then again, most of whom I know are Packers fans and you know Vikings fans ... nothing to be optimistic about. 😉

And the vast majority of those sites is rooting for his failure. Or maybe it's the vocal minority rooting for his failure. It's just what I perceive.

And hey, us Viking fans have a lot to be optimistic about.. Like hopefully going 3-13, beating the Packers twice in the process, and getting the number one draft pick in the 2012 NFL draft. 😃

I've seen a lot of NFL fans of various teams who hate Tebow.
There are a few consistent posters on sports.yahoo.com/nfl who no matter what the topic is, they remind the world how much they hate Tebow. It could be about Brett Favre uses X brand dental floss and they'll post how much they hate Tebow.

Zero2Cool (6h) : QB coach Sean Mannion

Zero2Cool (6h) : DL Coach DeMarcus Covington

dfosterf (9h) : from ft Belvoir, Quantico and points south. Somber reminder of this tragedy at Reagan Nat Airport

dfosterf (9h) : So eerily quiet here in Alexandria. I live in the flight path of commercial craft coming from the south and west, plus the military craft

dfosterf (9h) : So eeri

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?

beast (13h) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.

beast (13h) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.

Mucky Tundra (14h) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired

beast (16h) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Packers coach Matt LaFleur hires Luke Getsy as senior assistant, extends Rich Bisaccia's deal

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Chiefs again huh? I guess another Super Bowl I'll be finding something else to do.

Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : Chiefs Eagles...again...sigh

dfosterf (27-Jan) : Happy Birthday Dave!

Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : happy birthday dhazer

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Exactly buck...Washington came up with the ball. It is just a shitty coincidence one week later

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : I forgot, they corrected the call a week later. Lol btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY dhazer!

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Eagles down by contact on the fumble....fuck you NFL

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : I think this games over

beast (26-Jan) : Eagles sure get a lot of fumbles on kickoffs

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : This game looks too big for Washington

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : that being said, The Ravens are the Browns

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : Browns, Dolphins have longest AFC Championship droughts

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : As of today, Cowboys have longest NFC Championship drought,

beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)

beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab

Zero2Cool (25-Jan) : Any reason I'm catching a shot here about my intelligence?

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!

beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.
