I love reading comments about Tim Tebow. People are very polarizing about him. It will be interesting to see how he develops in the NFL. I think a lot of young quarterbacks don’t spend enough time holding the clipboard. For some reason this seems to help their thinking when they do get a chance. Many of the most successful quarterbacks did not come into the league and start playing immediately. What comes to mind is Joe Montana, not very high ranked out of college. Passed 23 times his first year in the NFL. What Joe did was make very good decisions throughout his career. Tebow may not be the top ranked quarterback out of college but how will his decision making be?

NO STRIKE PLEASE. Can’t the millionaire players and billionaire owners figure out how to divide the money so I won’t miss football? TWO STRIKES IN BASEBALL and I never came back!!!!! THINK!

Are you seriously comparing Gary Kubiak to Tony Dungy? Dungy’s teams were consistently in the playoffs every year. The only thing consistent about the Texans under Kubiak is mediocrity and a lack of playoffs. People have been claiming this team is “on the verge of doing it” every year and every year they underachieve and disappoint. They aren’t on the verge of doing anything with Kubiak there.

Dungy was 54-42 (56%) at Tampa and 2-4 in playoff games. He was terminated and Gruden one year later took Tony’s team to a super bowl. Tony should have been the coach of the winning team he built. Tampa said he could not get to super bowl. You know how that turned out. And Gruden was later fired due to inability to perform. Yes, i compare Kubiak to Dungy. Kubiak is a good coach that will eventually do well. Also, Houston has played in a division that had one of the best teams in the history of the NFL as well as one of the greatest QBs.

“A Damn Good Coach” makes it to the playoffs.

After last week, throwing the offensive line under the bus saying they weren’t blocking well and yet saying the defense was “working hard”, I’ve now come to the realization that it’s quite possible Kubiak simply doesn’t know enough about defense and special teams in order to coach them up properly. He had no head coaching experience before coming to and came to a team in desperate need of an offense, and he built it into one of the best offenses in the league. Problem is, he had inexperienced coaches take over the defense and special teams and basically “let them do their thing” and the results are horrible. I think the reason they did so well last year was that teams gameplanned to beat the Texans with the rush but did not expect the value of a run-stopper in Pollard and the excellence of Cushing.

Another reason I feel that he doesn’t really know much about defense and special teams is his consistency in running Slaton as a kick returner. He has guys like Quintin Demps who have had experience returning kicks and yet game after game continues to put Slaton out there. He’s trusting in his inexperienced coaches to solve his issues and failing miserably.

I wouldn’t have paid Dunta Robinson $10 million, but I would have franchised him. He’s not a top 10 DB, despite what he thinks of himself, but at least he would have been a threat that other teams would have to at least consider in their gameplan, which would also take pressure off of Quin, who at the time was considered one of the better up-and-coming DB’s in the league. Unfortunately, Quin will probably be unfairly considered one of the poorer DB’s after a season like this one.

I don’t know if Cowher would be the answer or not, but he would definitely give this team a national amount of credibility and could at least attract some free agents that otherwise would pass over Houston as a place to play.

Yeah it was Tim Tebow, it wasn’t the crappy seasons he has had as a head coach. It all came down to that one game with Tim Tebow.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yeah, I’d fire Kubiak for letting a rookie, who is widely expected to struggle based on his mechanics, throw for over 300 yards too. That’s what you call an epic fail on the part of the Texans.

I was just sitting here waiting for the first Tebow hater to come on here with their excuses. realitypolice takes 1st place. Doesn’t matter what this kid does you haters will find some excuse for his success.

Teabag and all of his fans have rainbow stickers on their cars….

And for the person who said Kubiak has done a fine job, this team is 36-43 in 5 years under Kubiak, with one winning season and no playoff appearances. They are 9-20 against division teams and 13-27 on the road during his tenure. They have 6 first or second round defensive players during his tenure, and this year have the league’s top rusher, one of the league’s top wideouts, and arguably a top 10 QB, and yet they’re 5-10.

At this point it doesn’t really matter who they bring in as coach, they need to get rid of the coach, the GM, and the rest of the staff and either start over or have new personnel-management.

You can go ahead and be encouraged all you want, but you absolutely cannot ignore Houston’s abysmal pass defense and how it impacted his performance. Unless you prefer blind homer-ism to things like context, perspective and objectivity.

Pointing out what should be obvious isn’t hating.

He did it against a HISTORICALLY BAD pass defense. Not just for the 2010 – but in the recorded HISTORY of professional football, there has been none worse than the 2010 Texans.

Lets see Tebow light up the Packers, Steelers, Ravens or Patriots.

Then, people will support your point of view. But if you want to anoint his 300 yard day against the Texans as proof he’s the real deal, you are making a fool of yourself.

Happy New Year.

Also, Tebow has looked like a dual threat starting QB. But go ahead and discredit him because he played the worst pass rank defense in the league.

==============

And I was just waiting for the first sanctimonious Tebow apologist to get offended by my pointing out that we should probably wait until he puts up good numbers against a team that hasn’t quit on it’s coach and doesn’t feature a pass defense that would give up 300 passing yards to Navy before anointing him Denver’s saviour.

Thanks for taking the bait.

How is this:
1. Passing for 300+ yards
2. Throwing one td
3. Running for a GAME WINNING td
4. Winning the game (only our 4th!)

Anything other than excellent?

Manning threw for only one more score and fewer yards. Same with Cutler. Brady threw for half as many yards. BUT ALL FOUR OF THESE PLAYERS WON THE GAME.

Why the hate for Tebow? Too much success for you to handle? Too nice? Too much of a team player? Too much energy?

Without taking away from the fact that Kubiak will not be able to take the Texans to the next level, Tebow had a good day in his second career start. Remember haters, it is you that claim this guy has no arm and can’t play QB – 300 yard game later . . . . What’s next, Tebow has no pocket awareness and does not know how to scramble?

And before we crown Tim Tebow as the kingdom, power and glory in Denver, let’s all keep in mind the quote by McClain in the second to last paragraph:

“The Texans have the worst pass defense in the history of football at any level since the beginning of time”.

Only in the world of Tim Tebow lovers is that a “terrific” day (or a “monster” day as Fox Sports has it headlined).

P.S. Cowher, it was never you that was good in Pitt. It was a great coach before you, a great owner, and great fans that built a consistently winning tradition. You got scared because you thought the end of success was near and bolted. Not!
