Tim Tebow and running quarterbacks - Washington Times
In my Thursday column, I write about Tim Tebow, the Broncos’ iconoclastic quarterback. Tebow has the conventionalists in a tizzy because he doesn’t always throw the ball very straight. But he does manage to "get the job done," as his defenders are always reminding us. Indeed, Denver is 5-1 this season when he starts – and as a result, has wormed its way into the AFC West race.

Has Andy Reid’s Time Come to an end in Philadelphia? | The Hometown Fan
When teams struggle to win, there’s usually one of two people that get the blame. The first is the most important person on the field, the quarterback, while the second is the most important person off the field, the head coach. Occasionally the GM also gets blamed but that’s usually alongside the head coach. Very rarely are GMs held solely responsible for a team’s struggles unless their name is Matt Millen.

As in, I am extremely sick and feel like Phyllis Rivers did after the game. Awful. So there's my built-in excuse; if I sound even more discombobulated and random than usual, it's because I feel like crud and barely remember my own name. But since I can't force myself to sleep any longer, I figured I'd put fingies to keyboard and throw down some thoughts.

I wish we hadn't taken either Dez or DT
We could have draft Tebow in that spot and had a ton of other picks to use.
I'll take pro bowl wide receivers that can go up and get the ball
Tebow could use that

Forget DT vs Dez Bryant. We should never have been drafting #22 overall anyway.
McJedi, if he wasn’t a fool, would have stayed at 24, taken Tebow and then still retained the FOUR draft picks he traded away. Round 2, round 3, round 4 and round 4 in order to get DT and Tebow.
Those picks became Sergio Kindle, Ed Dickson, Aaron Hernandez and Dennis Pitta. I doubt we’d take 3 TEs, but we could have done someone with those picks (liked added depth to DT, RB, CB and TE). Or McJedi could have just taken a few more Dick Quinns.
Tim Tebow is Denver's 2012 starting QB. I'm not even kind of sorry that offends some of you.
sorry for the typos but you get the point
If McJedi wanted Tebow so bad, just take him at 24 overall. Never trade up to #22 to take DT and then trade up to 25 to take Tebow. That was, frankly, retarded.
McJedi was a antsy child when it came to running the Broncos.
Tim Tebow is Denver's 2012 starting QB. I'm not even kind of sorry that offends some of you.
That all makes sense but I’ve heard this argument before and what I don’t get is how 13-14 rookies make a team. I think we had 9-10 make teh team in 2010.
Seems to me thare has to be a limit in the # of picks you can make without drafting guys just to cut them in TC.
I would agree with you if McJedi didn’t trot out a team with bums like Hoch, McBath, Gronk, D’Anthony Batiste, Andre Brown, Stanley Daniels, Ronald Fields, Jarvis Moss, Nate Jones, R Hill, you get my point…
We could have easily accomodated 4 high to mid round draft picks like Aaron Hernadez or Ed Dickson.
I could have also said Sean Lee, Jimmy Graham, Geno Atkins & Kam Chancellor since these are all guys we could have taken.
Tim Tebow is Denver's 2012 starting QB. I'm not even kind of sorry that offends some of you.

That's what impresses me about the Broncos this year...
Even with all the media-talk about Tebow and now Miller, this team doesn’t beat their chests, make SportsCenter with celebrations (okay, false start celebrations aside), or trash each other in the press…
This team goes out and works together. It’s rare to see a team that maximizes the “whole is greater than the sum of the parts” philosophy to such an extent.
The defense knows that they’re playing better because they’re not forced into short fields or getting pounded with time of possession. McGahee knows his running lanes are open because of the threat of the zone read. Tebow knows he’ll always have at least one zone read open because the offensive line is working hard. Miller knows if he doesn’t get to the QB, he can force the QB into Dumervil (seriously, watch their pass rush… they’re forcing the QB to step into the other guy).
Winning makes it easier, of course, but watching this team be a team (ahem Eagles ahem) really is great as a fan.

That "moneyball" article is retarded
Look, I am a huge sabermetrics guy and I also happen to be pretty excited about Tebow. Moneyball style management ala billy bean was based on literally hundreds of thousands of data points over decades of game data. Sambermetrics values the correlation between things like on team base percentage and runs scored, not wins.
Tebow has led the Broncos to a 5-1 record despite having fair-to-por rate based throwing statistics and fair-to-good rushing rate statistics.
He also has performed absurdly well in high leverage situations. If baseball data has taught us anything, it’s that “clutch” players are generally considered “clutch” only because of confirmation bias. In general, there is no evidence to prove that baseball players are capable of being way better in “clutch” situations. All baseball players who have a clutch year/month/week (i.e. perform really well in close and late situations) tend to heavily regress to a non-clutch mean.
Tebow has indeed succeded in high leverage situation, but in a very small sample size. This is important to note. I’m not saying he’ll be terrible or that he’ll be great. We simply have too little data to say anything definitive. This is why the rabid tebow haters (merril hoge) and lovers (skip bayless) are both morons. Let the kid play, just remeber that
1. Football is a flukey by nature. This article shows that a single NFL game is decided 40-60% by luck!
2. Athletic performance is highly variable. Beware the SMALL SAMPLE SIZE, as it will get you every time
While you have good intentions, your conclusion couldn't be more incorrect
The point, is that Tim Tebow’s skills represent an inefficiency in the market. The same way OBP/Slugging were at one point, then more advanced statistics, and now defense (see TB Rays over the past few years) were in baseball. The question on whether or not Tebow is “good”, isn’t a question at all. He is good. It isn’t a matter of being clutch (I’d argue McCoy takes the handcuffs off), but rather his skillset results in good production from the QB spot. The problem is the MSM thinks good production is completion %, volume, and passing yards. The problem with that is, none of those are that important by themselves. Efficiency, turnovers, and running are huge inefficiencies in the QB market. The MSM ignores running altogether. Which is ridiculous given the fact a rushing yard is more valuable than a passing yard. And turnovers, that is also widely underappreciated. They have a massive impact on the teams ability to win games. Think of QB production as a function with many different variables. The MSM is “close” on a couple of those variables, but ignore some completly. However, they do exist, and Tebow just has higher inputs on those variables that are ignored. That is the ineffeciency.
You are right on clutch, but you cannot ignore what Tebow has done in those spots either. The conclusion is that he is just as likely to do what he’s been doing in the 1st as he is in the 4th. The thing is, what “he has been doing” is a very good product QB. Not the best in the league, but above average.
And there are lots of sabermetric stats on baseball. Some do assign run values to outcomes. But then that figure is used to as an input for a win related stat (WAR). So you are wrong there. And even still, football is different. Offense/Defense are indirectly related in baseball whereas they are directly related in football. A low TO QB helps the team prevent points. So to measure production solely on yards or points scored in football is ridiculous, as there is a direct impact to point prevention.
And you are right on sample size. If Tebow can keep up this performance, he will be an above avg NFL QB. If he improves his passing slightly, he will be an all pro. If his effieciency stats stay the same but TOs go up, he will be below average. We don’t know what he is yet, due to sample. Although I’d argue his college and NFL stats provide far more evidence to a good-great QB, than a below average one. FYI, do you know Tim Tebow was a SIGNIFICANTLY better passer in college than the past 5 #1 pick SEC QBs (Manning, Couch, Russell, Manning, Stafford)? That ignores the running as well. None of those guys could have Tebow’s jock in college, and combine that with Tebows above avg start in his first year starting….I’ll wager on that side.

I'm a little bit concerned about Moneyball comparisons...
The A’s made the playoffs in a division which had at least one team free-falling as a doormat every year and other teams underperforming, but they also never made it to the World Series, much less won it.
MLB, either you have pitching or you don't
the A’s just didn’t have the hosses it seemed, kind of like our Orioles never do

once you get to the mlb playoffs
It’s all luck. In the wild card era the team with the best record in the best league (usually the AL) has almost the same chance of winning the WS as the worst team to make the playoffs. The A’s were probably just unlucky to not win at least one WS
in five games
in the wild card round, that sounds about right, if one team gets hot, upsets often occur. Plus, when you play 162 some odd games, it’s easy to peak in August and then suck in the postseason, like the Phillies

Nope. For all playoff series
If you assigned each team in the playoffs a seed 1 thru 8 based on regular season record (which is a HUUUGE 162 game sample), there’s a nearly perfectly random distribution of WS winners by “seed” since 1995. I think Baseball is a little more flukey than football, but that’s just a casual observation/belief that I have
I'm actually a much bigger NFL than MLB fan

"Pain don't hurt" - Swayze (Road House) -- We miss you man!
The As (and the Rays now) have a limited payroll. They take advantage of market inefficiencies to maximize output given that payroll.
Just because their total output, even purely maximizing their payroll, is less than a team with 500% the payroll…doesn’t mean they did something wrong. All a team can do is maximize their given resources. Optimization doesn’t mean you’ll be the best.

Minnie(sota)Ball more important than MoneyBall right now
I’m surprised Minnesota didn’t claim Orton and cut McNabb. Orton would have flourished in that offense with AP. Maybe they just figure they are out of it this year and simply want Ponder to get experience. If so, more fodder for Von Miller and Doom.
If I can't have high expectations that succeed, I''d rather have high expectations and be disappointed than have low expectations and be resigned to losing.

Deion went over to some lady's house?
I understand doing charity work, but its very strange to have a celebrity stop by your house.
Thanks for the Tracks Tim!
I don’t know what I would’ve done… I’ve been having the hardest time finding anything about Tebow! xD
Seriously though, I dig the Cold Hard Football Facts one. I like the “Real QB” rating. AKA CHFFRQR. Yeah, that’s an easy acronym. Thanks for the links, ALWAYS appreciated, even when I can’t voice/type my thanks.

how much better do you guys think the broncos’ offense can get with the spread option? can they start scoring significantly more?

I think so
To me, Tim – or I kinda like how Elway always refers to him as ‘Timmy’, kind of acknowledging that he’s aware that ‘Timmy’ is a padowan still, and has to grow and learn yet…. But anyway, to me, Tim is definitely looking more and more comfortable with the decisions he is making, overall, every game. Though I have a feeling, this weekend We may see Tim’s most pass attempts in a game thus far.

With Coach Zorro on our side, we will slice opponents to ribbons. Tim Tebow gives me hope and I already have faith and charity in my heart! I see a propitious future rife with Lombardis for our Broncos!

I prefer Timmy too, cause every time I see Tim I wonder if someone is talking to me.
It’s quite annoying. :)
Tim's a jerk.

Ha ha
I’m going to adopt Elway’s usage there though. It’ll be my own way of remembering that he still has plenty of room to grow.

If they let Tebow pass more, they'll score more. However, they don't need to be an average scoring offense to be an average offense. The point prevention of the Denver offense is by far the best in the league since Tebow took over.
If they can get their points scored up with league average, while keeping an elite point prevention traits…then the Denver O will be one of the best in the league.

Tim, thank you for all of the work you do for Horse Tracks every day...
I love checking it out every day and staying up to date about the broncos. I finally decided to get a user ID and join MHR so I can contribute my 2 cents. I have an interesting article about Tebow (imagine that) that I believe people will enjoy. This is my first time posting anything let alone a hyperlink, so please let me know if it doesn’t work. Thanks and as always: Go Broncos! https://sn2prd0102.outlook.com/owa/redir.aspx?C=j_jUpp-b-02ec8w2in8LLjODrS7yg84IuMGKZBXQEFxyBHZkRWLsHNux30zCFeZpgUhW6MsquOM.&URL=http%3a%2f%2fsportsillustrated.cnn.com%2f2011%2fwriters%2fkerry_byrne%2f11%2f29%2ftim.tebow%2findex.html%3fxid%3dcnnbin
