He was 2/8 passing when we beat KC. - Edit 1

He was just "lucky" enough to drop one over Eric Deckers shoulder in stride on a deep post that went 56 yards for the game winning TD (link below.) As Captain Obvious himself, Phil Simms, noted against Pitt, Tebow likes to throw the long ball, which does not seem very "girly" to me. It DOES shred completion percentages, but it also means the less frequent completions almost always score points, while the interceptions are equivalent to punts. That is actually how I prefer to pass, I just do not think our young offense is good enough to consistently succeed at it. They HAVE succeeded at it more often than not this year, and a lot more than I or anyone expected. Seriously, we have second year players starting at:
QB, C, LG, #1 WR, #2 WR and TE.
What the hell do you expect from that offense?
MOST of the time, he plays well; he played horribly against KC in the rematch; many times he SAW the open man and lacked the balls to throw the pass. I can understand that after a fumble and 3 interceptions in the second half against Buffalo (did not see that 'cos we were opening presents, but I hear he was pretty bad then, too.) It is still on him as the QB to get it done, whatever he does or does not have in pass protection or receivers. To his credit, he bounced back when he had to against Pitt.
It is amusing that you brought up the first KC game: Against the KCs #6 ranked passing D, Denver averaged 10 points/game last year, only 4 points less than the Packers did. Tebow and your boy Rodgers each have 1 passing TD against them; guess Aaron just needs more luck.

Wasn't there a game where he completed like, two passes and still won the game? There's no excuse for the way he plays most of the time. And Denver shouldn't have even made the playoffs with their record. It's disgusting, the kind of luck the guy has.
Now, I will say that he made some nice throws this weekend. Even if they were girly pop-ups. I don't doubt the man's athleticism; I doubt his place as a starter in the NFL.
