Merrill Hoge vs Tim Tebow. - Page 2 - Basketball Forum : Professional and College Basketball Forums

He'll last longer than your average bust QB, just because he's Tebow. He might be a McDaniels guy, but his celebrity status will make Elway think much harder about cutting him. Critics will say the NFL is a business, but even more so it's a people business. Tebow's best attribute is his likeability, rather than a football skill.

Have you guys tried playing as him in Madden? He's terrible. His inaccuracy is a liability even on a simple slant play. The only good thing about him is Denver's Tebow formation, where you can run a WR sweep or QB option. Even then it works less than half the time.

Tebow may now be on the trading block.

Merril Hoge: 'Tebow as phony as a three dollar bill'

Quote:

So much for the whole bearing good tidings thing. In a roundtable discussion on Monday morning's SportsCenter, ESPN analyst Merril Hoge went on a rant about New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow, saying that he's "as phony as a three-dollar bill" and that the New York Jets didn't realize "how bad Tim Tebow was" when they traded for him.

Fellow analyst Ron Jaworski tries to defend Tebow's handling of his yearlong situation with the Jets while insider Adam Schefter attempts to relay a conversation he had with Tebow late Sunday night regarding the ESPN New York report that he asked out of the Wildcat formation for the team's game with San Diego. While both are given time to make their points, they are just lulls between Hoge's fury-laden sound bites.

**** Tim Tebow.. this guy will be in the arena league by 2014

Everyone knows Tebow can't play QB in the NFL, but it's personal with Hoge and I really have no idea why. It really, really upsets him.

**E.H. Munro** · 12-29-2012, 02:07 PM

I'm going to be a contrarian and say "Good for Tebow" for refusing to risk his career for a team that plans on cutting him anyway.

Maybe he thinks that Tebow's a threat to his "Worst player to ever have a ten year NFL career" title?

hobojoe · 12-29-2012, 02:33 PM

I just don't get it. I mean, as a guy who unfortunately attended Florida State while Tebow was crushing us for 3 years, I should hate him, but I don't. Why does Hoge hate him so much? He's one of those people that's been waiting for the past 7 years for the slightest slip up so he can jump on him, call him a phony and rip his character to shreds. Give me a break, leave the guy alone.

i don't think tebow is a very good qb but it definitely doesn't seem like he got a chance with the jets.

It would be hard for Merril Hoge to hold that record after his 8 year career.

**E.H. Munro** · 12-29-2012, 04:33 PM

Really? He seemed like he was around for ten. OK then, maybe he feels that Tebow threatens his record of "Worst Player to have an NFL Career that lasted more than one contract"?

**Diable** · 12-29-2012, 04:35 PM

Tebow has been better at QB than I thought he'd be, but if he really decided to go to the Jets that was a terrible decision. Last year he pretty much proved how important it is that your QB does not turn the ball over. This year it's been proven that John Fox is a vastly better coach than Rex Ryan is. Hard for me to believe that he really could have been much worse than Sanchez. Really though, Rex might not have been a lot worse under center himself.

Mr. Hobbes · 12-29-2012, 05:41 PM

I'm a Tebow fan now. Dude is getting slandered by the media and benched repeatedly by his team. I wanna see him do well.

That asking out of the Wildcat stuff is completely uncalled for by the reporters. How the hell would they know?
