Style Points - But Broncos Quarterback Is Breaking The Mold  - Tim Tebow Wont Remind Anyone Of Dan Marino - Ny Daily News

He has left opposing coaches like John Elway , in disbelief in the owners' box.

He has beaten good defenses. He has won on the road. He has orchestrated comebacks not just with his legs, but by unlimbering his muscular arm. And, if he can go toe-to-toe with Sunday in Denver, it should finally be time for all his critics to put away any prejudices they might have and admit it. can play the game.

I'll confess and I've been a Tebow backer that when I got back home after the Chiefs-Jets debacle, flipped on the TV and saw the Bears up by 10 late last Sunday that I didn't argue with my wife when she said enough football, go get some take-out. I thought he actually had reached the mountain he couldn't climb. This was the Bears D. was over there.

Luckily, I was able to hit rewind when I got back.

As everyone knows, it was time to cue the heavenly choir, sit back and enjoy. Yes, he got some breaks. The Bears blew a couple of coverages and Marion Barber thought he was back playing for the mistake-filled Cowboys. But in the end, he had inspired his team to another win and had the stadium rocking. Eli Manning has been magical, Aaron Rodgers and Dan Marino 's long-standing yardage record. He's just breaking the mold.

The contrast of pretty boy against bulldog is what makes Sunday's game so fascinating. Brady is the perfect 10 in style points and measurables. He is second to Rodgers in passer rating at 106 and second to Brees in yardage. He has completed 66.1 per cent of his throws. Tebow's completion percentage is 48.5. He's 32nd in the league in yards.
