CaP'N GRuNGe Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I'm starting a QB in that game, but it ain't Tebow. Go Matt Moore! (Peyton out, Bradford out, Fitzpatrick on a bye) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cy_Hawk Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Starting him since Brady is on his BYE...I actually shot a hefty chunk of my remaining fantasy $$ on him (we use blind bidding only, no waiver wire). I liked the angle of him playing in Miami when they host a Gators '08 Championship appreciation. I'm not as high on him as many; figure he'll have something like 140 passing yds/60 rush yds/0 passing TD/1 rush TD/1 Int... With all the public hype he's been getting the last couple weeks in fantasy circles, I'm feeling even better about my expectation of mediocrity. Whenever a guy gets this much hype for a fantasy matchup, it seems to backfire more often than not. I like the kid though, so I sincerely hope the Denver brass gives him a legit shot the rest of te way to see what he can do, and to show improvement as the season progresses.

Bronco Billy Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I actually can't think of any quarterback that has ever thrown as ugly of passes as he sometimes does. You obviously aren't old enough to have watched Billy Kilmer play. Some of his passes looked like he was holding the football by the end instead of the laces when he threw. But he was still effective... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Do you think that in today's game that John Riggins would be an effective runner? Take a look at today's power backs & can you truthfully say that Tebow can be compared with them? I just don't think his running style will translate well to the NFL when teams are game-planning against him and with his limitations as a passer it will be easier to do that. Apples and oranges. You are talking about RBs who are running into a D where the LBs and SS are reading run - scraping, filling, and flowing to the ball. Tebow gets a hugh benefit in that a lot of his run are through much wider spaces as the defensive back 7 are in their drops. And yes, I think Riggins would have done very well against what are much lighter and poorer tackling back 7 D players than those who played in his day.

Rydher Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Some of you over think this. It may not be pretty but the point is he gets it done. Gator Nation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS Miscreant Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Stafford aside since that was thoroughly covered , who do you absolutely start over Tebow this week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rellen13 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Gonna start him over Freeman and Hasselbeck. At 2-4 and missing Nicks, S. Johnson, F. Jackson, and Best due to byes and injury, I'm needing a spark to keep me in the playoff hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexgaddis Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Just wanted to thank everyone for insuring that Ryan goes for 300 and 3 TD's this week... Ryan with his Tebow impersonation... rushing TD!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 From what I'm seeing, he looks absolutely horrible. I figured he would at least look halfway decent. Maybe he'll turn it on in the 2nd half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heehawks Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 From what I've seen on RedZone, he's horrible. Plain and simply killing any value Den WRs have or will have. Thank you B.Lloyd for getting traded to StL with a QB who can throw you the ball! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tosberg34 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) I'm glad I started Tebow over Schaub today. It's paying off for me in Spades. He has exceeded my wildest expectations. I thought he would throw for 10 yards but he's now at 24 yards passing! This guy is on fire. And, to add to my magical day, I started Erick Decker as well. Now I've got double the points!

STL Fan Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Not pretty, its downright ugly, but ugly can still get it done. But ugly gets exposed by good teams, especially in the post-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Picked him up last week in my local. Playing against my main rival who is a hugh Denver fan, and with Vick on bye, I'm starting him over Kolb. I expect he'll get 5-8 points just on the ground, might throw 2 TD's and have 200 yards. That's like 25 points, and I'll take that. I got 26.9 from Tebow today so I forgot to factor the 2 pt. conversion, but figured he'd throw for a little more yardage.

SLAYER Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Great QB in the 4th quarter with under 7 minutes left otherwise, meh. new QB rotation Orton for the first 3 quarters, Tebow for the 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in your expert opinion there is no way Tebow can improve so that his 4th quarter performance capability seeps into other quarters? He can only be a 4th quarter specialist his entire career?

The Vatican Hitsquad Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 A whole lot of Stafford love around here. Just curious - are people not seeing how his stats have regressed in the past 3 games since his red hot start, are they ignoring his extensive injury history, and that he's faced nothing but weak pass Ds so far? Thats why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
