Sure, his stats sucked and yes, he had a tendency to hang on to the ball too long at times, but he became the leader on the offense. Before anyone gets hung up on stats, the only stat the really counts is the one on the scoreboard - ask Dan Marino if he would trade any of his stats for a SB ring.

And don't forget, Elway didn't exactly set the world on fire when he first went to Denver in 1982. It took 3-4 years before he began to lead Denver to the playoffs.

It isn't 1982. This is an NFL that is passing-oriented. Tebow cannot perform in this league as a QB. When rookies are setting the world on fire, and Stafford has a 5000-yard season...

People say he can play at other positions. They are wrong. What would validate giving up a roster spot for this guy?
