He's a winner, period. I love the guy.


It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I think that is likely a large part of his troubles as a NFL quarterback.

I'm sure hell do fine in whatever avenue he chooses.

The guy is a dim bulb. Ever listen to him try and speak? He has the brains and size to tackle people, that is about it.

Best post yet, but the jury's still out.

I must be in the same group - as I've certainly never been accused of being "too bright". But, am thinking I'm bright enough to not make assumptions about a guy's smarts - particulalry his football smarts - if I don't know him and have never been under his leadership. Whatever his brightness level, evidence is that he is in a different "company" that J. Manziel.

I was not a fan of him as a QB and I am a serious Broncos Fan. I do remember after winning a game at the last second for the Broncos how he went up into the stands and sat with a disabled boy and talked with him, still in uniform, for about 45 minutes. The press came up to him and wanted an interview, he told them it would have to wait, that what he was doing right now was much more important than talking about football. You have to like the Man.

Warner was the best pure passer in NFL history...at least he was until Aaron Rodgers came around.

Yes, I have heard him speak but I don't remember that impression and I think you are giving him Very little credit.

But, assuming you are correct, he's still shown the kind of character I'd like my son or daughter to emulate. Period. grin

True, he may be a lousy NFL QB. That said, he's accomplished far more than many "can't miss prospects", and a helluva lot more than any armchair pundit.

I'd take his "lousy" level of success in any professional endeavor and be damned proud of it.

Drafting quarterbacks is like a box of chocolates...you never know what you're gonna get.

Tebow ain't an NFL caliber qb, but he could play fullback at that level IMO. I dont believe he's got the skillset to be a tight end.

He could outplay at least 5 NFL starting QBs today, if they would give him the opportunity to simply get on the field during game time:

Buffalo--Manuel
Oakland--Schaub
St. Louis--Hill
Cleveland--Hoyer
Tennessee--Locker

He would have outplayed a number last year as well. Playing QB is about getting a team to win a game, and at that, he was/is very good. Who cares how he does it, so long as the Win gets done within the bounds of the rules and good sportsmanship. The NFL is simply scared of him being successful.

That's simply nonsense. If any team thought that he could help them win as a qb, he'd be on a roster.

No, actually it's exactly correct. He'd be better than what a number of teams trotted out last year and this, and of course, has already proven that in the NFL itself.

They are scared of a Christian completing a pass and giving thanks on air. As I said, if he were gay msm would be on his greatness every day. I figure he's as blacklisted as pro NRA and 2nd A actors.
