Seahawks prove why competition is good

What was the biggest difference between the Seattle Seahawks and the New York Jets last year? Well the easy response is that the Seahawks made the playoffs last season and the Jets didn't.

While this is true, there was one reason above all that had the biggest affect on these teams' seasons: their offseason QB competitions.

Tebow draws little interest despite read-option trend

Maybe I'm missing something here but I don't understand why New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow has drawn so little interest from teams this offseason.

Even his hometown team, the Jacksonville Jaguars, is reportedly not seeking to add him to their roster. This despite the fact that he could probably be acquired fairly cheap at this point and they don’t seem to be going very far with the quarterback they have on hand.

Will Tim Tebow reach the promised land?

It may seem a little disingenuous using a biblical reference to describe the latest situation surrounding New York Jets’ backup quarterback Tim Tebow but what would be the point in writing these things if you couldn’t have a little fun with it?

Besides, it kind of fits in a way. Especially when you consider how Tebow’s football odyssey has gone so far.

Denver Broncos’ rushing attack will go from first to worst under Manning

Let’s face it. Low rushing totals are a byproduct of the pass-friendly league that is now the NFL. Teams pass so much now that it seems like they sometimes forget to run the ball.

This is especially true of teams that have a signal-caller the quality of a Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers or a Drew Brees. Manning who usually called his own plays as quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts was definitely guilty of this and will bring the same tendencies to the Denver Broncos.

Jets give Tebow an option weapon with Stephen Hill

The New York Jets acquired quarterback Tim Tebow from the Denver Broncos with the intention of putting together special packages with him running a wildcat/option-type offense. Bringing in a big, speedy target with the kind of straight-line speed Georgia Tech wide receiver Stephen Hill has only furthers the notion that the Jets want to give Tebow every opportunity to take Mark Sanchez’s job.  

Denver Broncos may face bad karma because of Elway

We know that front office types don’t like to tip their hand as to what moves they are attempting to make, especially when it comes to personnel decisions. Flat out lying to your fan base is a whole different situation though.

Sanchez will lose locker room to Tebow

There is already speculation that Mark Sanchez has started to lose the respect of his fellow New York Jets behind his poor play and lack of leadership; bringing Tim Tebow in will only make that situation worse.

6 possible destinations for Tim Tebow

With Peyton Manning due to sign with the Denver Broncos, Tim Tebow’s time in Denver has pretty much come to an end. John Elway is set to ship Tebow out of Denver and will probably give him away for virtually nothing to any team that shows interest. So what five teams would be willing to trade for Tebow?

Elway closes the deal with Peyton Manning signing

I see why John Elway was so successful as a car salesman. Elway who had a very successful chain of car dealerships in the Denver area (and a few other locations) before selling them off and joining the Denver Broncos front office made the biggest signing of the offseason by convincing Peyton Manning to join the Broncos.

Peyton Manning’s ‘Decision’ determines fate of three quarterbacks

As NFL fans everywhere await to see where quarterback Peyton Manning will land, Kevin Kolb, Matt Hasselbeck and Tim Tebow in particular await his decision for more personal reasons: because their jobs are in the balance.

Jaguars get second shot at Tim Tebow

Back in the 2010 NFL draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars gambled that they would be able to select quarterback Tim Tebow with either their third round pick or have the opportunity to move up and draft him in the second round.

John Elway looking for quarterback help

Boy, John Elway would make a good car salesman wouldn’t he? Like a good salesman, he says all the right things hoping that you take the bait. Well if you are a Denver Broncos’ fan or better yet a Tim Tebow fan then you better watch “Honest Johnny’s” actions closely in the upcoming months.

Tim Tebow Will Never Measure Up

Tim Tebow of the Denver Broncos has never had the measurables you expect from a quarterback drafted in the first round. He’s not very accurate, he has a slow delivery and his pocket presence leaves something to be desired.

Run Forest Run: Tebow, Vick and Newton Causing Fits for NFL Defenses

Running quarterbacks. They are truly a defensive coordinator’s worst nightmare. Just when you think you have them in your clutches they pull off some nifty move and dart up field for a big gain. Just when you think a team is going to go three and out someone like Tim Tebow, Cam Newton or Michael Vick will move the chains by making a play with their feet.

John Elway Will Trade Tim Tebow During the Offseason

Before I get started let me just say I like Tim Tebow. He has turned me into a believer and I’m not saying that to poke fun at him or his faith. The problem is that I’m not the one who needs convincing; Denver Broncos’ president John Elway is the one who needs to be convinced. Elway doesn’t believe that his team can accomplish its goals with Tebow at the helm which is why I believe Elway will trade Tebow during the offseason.
