It's not a lie, it's a statistical fact.
He was dead last.

Four other QBs with lower completion percentages.
And before you bullshit and say those lower 4 were not starters and starters don't get good stats, remember Tebows stats were 75% completions while at new York with similar circumstances.
you fucking idiot.
Often, when listing stats, there are certain minimums which must be reached, such as number of passes attempted. He was likely last among starting quarterbacks, quarterbacks with at least 50 attempts or some number such as that, etc. If you are the long time football fan you say you are, surely you have seen such qualifications many times before.
Besides that, Tebow ranking 77th! among NFL quarterbacks is not helping your argument that he should have a job in the NFL. 32 teams, and Tebow, the starting quarterback for his team for most of the year, ranks 77th! That means that not only did every other team's starting quarterback end up with a better completion %, all of their backups did, too....and a few others besides! And this makes you think Tebow should be on someone's roster?
Almost missed your post with all these retards spamming the pages, sorry.
Tebows has not even had a full year as a starter, he is still a learning QB, no doubt. But he was not last among all QBs, and why not compare them as well? The NFL stats page gives those stats too, listing only starting QBs is merely the default for the page.
If second string QBs are not a favorable comparison since they get such little playing time on the field, then that makes Tebows 2012 stats with Jets all that more impressive.
And yes, he has had some stats that don't look so hot, like any new QB. So why does that disqualify him for further consideration?
Look at his NFL accomplishments; going 7-1 in his first 8 starts, taking his team to the playoffs and getting a win, hell, that rates him alongside Romo at any rate.
Look at the fact that he busted all those college records and he wasn't throwing properly. now there are half a dozen proQBs who have evaluated his passing skills as he has retrained to throw with proper mechanics, and they are saying Tebow can compete.
None of that counts because if you take his 2010 stats, square them with is 2011 playoff percentages in the first quarter, blah, blah, blah....he doesn't look good? That is a huge reach.
this guy went to the playoffs in his second year, his only year as a starter, has HUGE potential and no NFL team will touch him because of the controversy?
Then the NFL is run by pussies that cant stand up and face the music to make their teams WINNERS.
And that is mighty sad. We need some competition for the NFL.
