pockets

One reason the New England Patriots outscored
the Denver Broncos so easily this past Saturday: the Patriots' offensive line regularly gave quarterback Tom Brady a safe 'pocket' from which to throw, while the Bronco line mostly left quarterback Tim Tebow dodging, ducking and running for his life.
A second reason: Brady is a precision passer. Tebow tries hard.

Once upon a time, in this space, I acknowledged that Tim Tebow of the Denver Broncos may be a fine athlete, but suggested that "he's just not a quarterback."
One of my few readers called, after Tebow played superbly and led the team to a decisive victory this past weekend, to ask me if I might want to reconsider.
All I can say is that Tim Tebow is a jim-dandy quarterback, always has been, and I've always said so. Don't you remember anything?

Tebow

If you say Tim Tebow is a gifted athlete. I won't quarrel with that. He's just not a quarterback.
He showed that again today. ....1-1-12
