lol. Like I said... you brought up the championship game thing. Don't backtrack because once the record was brought to light, it didn't back up your theory.
The guy is 9-10 in the playoffs. 9-10 in a tougher situation than regular season football against the best of the best. It's not a great record. It's not "OMG HE'S SHITTY AND HE CAN'T WIN IN THE PLAYOFFS" either. The guy HAS won championship games. He HAS won a Super Bowl. He HAS brought his team to title games despite having a below average team around him and having to put up ridiculous numbers in order to win. And yes, he has lost them too. So can he win when it matters? YES. He's proven it. What has Tim Tebow proven? How is it not an improvement to dump a guy who lost his last two games while playing awful in them to help your team back into the playoffs at 8-8, win one playoff game and then get destroyed because he's a quarterback who can't pass the ball to save his life for a guy who has proven to be pretty much a lock over the years to take a team to the playoffs regardless of the talent around him and has proven that he can not only win in the playoffs but more often than not, wins championship games?
Like I said, if Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers were on the market for some reason, then yeah maybe they'd be better options.
Tim Tebow was the other option though. TIM... TEBOW... lol. I can't stress that enough. TIM... TEBOW...
