you don't need to throw with Tebow anyway, because youre running the read-option. But when Tebow does it everyone scoffs; when Kaeppernic, Wilson, RG3, or Newton sdoes it, it's hailed as modern era transcendant quarterbacking and everyone defends those qb's because they're black. People are so biased towards black QB'snow a days its rediculous.

Actually let me show you what I mean. You claim Tebow did well in Denver?
Last year in Denver Tebow was 126 completions out of 271 attempts. That is a 46.5% rate. His passing yards per game were 123.5. Do you understand how low that is? 70% QB ranking.
Now Manning with the same set of WR's... 400 completions out of 583 attempts. 68.6% rate. His yards per game were 291.2.
Now I get that you might think that is unfair because Manning is one of the greatest of all time... And fair enough. However manning had one of his best ever years in Denver, so Denver has some of the best WR's Manning has ever played with (very arguably better then Harrison/Wayne). So if Denvers WR's are so good, why did Tebow do so poorly?
You realize this isnt a matter of opinion. They record the level of crowd noise on the field for every game.
well I've watched a lot of nfl and the silver dome is the only place where I have seen the reffs tell the crowd they were going to throw a flag if the didn't quiet down
Im not going to argue with you over measured data. Go ahead and believe what you want to believe based on your feelings of which stadium is the loudest. I'll continue to have my own opinion based on measured field noise per game that was averaged over the season.
my take is that just cuz seattle is the loudest doesnt mean their fans are any crazier or better than any other fans.. its prob just the way the sound reflects n shit.. nothing to be braggin about by any means

Yeah... I don't disagree with this. I havent been to a lot of NFL games outside of Seattle (Buffalo, SF, OAK), but in general im not sure I would say Seattle fans are crazier than other fans. Oakland and Buffalo fans can be down right scary if you want to wear the other teams colors. My point wasnt that the Seahawks fans are better, just that their stadium is the loudest

I don't even think Tebow would be successful at running the read option. He is an average runner and is a dreadful passer. No way he's successful in any scheme right now in the NFL, in my opinion. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't get signed after he's released by NY, because no team wants that media circus.
we both know the read option doenst work if you don't have to defend against a pass.
This isn't necessarily true. The read option is kind of convoluted with the pistol in a lot of analysis. The read option is always going to be a run play, but it requires a read by the QB to determine who is the runner and where that run goes. The read option is usually run out of the Pistol in the NFL, where the fake read option into a pass often comes into play as well.

Are you sure the Jets are going to release him? Cause I think the Jets like the media circus. The Jets are basically run by a bunch of clowns, and I am pretty sure they are more interested in getting a good laugh from the USA then they are interested in winning football games.
Rex- I'm sorry you can't come to terms with scientific data.
Dude the lions don't play there any more I wasn't talking about this year was just saying in general
I wasnt talking about this year either. I was talking about every year from the 2002 season when Quest Field (renamed CenturyLink Field) opened. Prior to that when they played a year in Husky Stadium while their stadium was being built, or when they played in the Kingdom, I would guess their crowd noise ranking was close to dead last.
