Manning completed 59.8% of his passes. That is an F.
He also succumbed to 17 interceptions and 16 sacks in the 10 regular season games he played. When he ran, he did it for a total of 6 yards lost. Tebow did it for 660 yards gained.

Statistically, Tebow was equal to if not better than Manning in almost every aspect, the one he falls short on was completed passes.
LOL. Comparing Tebows best year (which wasn't a good year for a QB by any stretch of the imagination) to Mannings worst in an attempt to portray Tebow as the better QB is hilarious. Odd that you bring up Tebows rushing prowess but neglect his sack number, sack yardage, fumbles and fumbles lost. Those were 33, 225, 13 and 6 respectively.
Lets just pretend like 2013 didn't happen for Manning. That was the year that Manning set just about every single season record for a QB.
The problem with him was that he wasn't making any gains in the football knowledge department, coaches have said this and so have other teammates. This leads to an over simplified offensive scheme that makes the D's job easy. It's like when the Wild Cat surfaced in the NFL, it worked at first but then everyone figured it out and now no one runs it. The other area that he showed no improvement in was his mechanics, the very same mechanics that made his accuracy so sub par.
He had three teams give him a chance and none of them wanted his services. The NFL isn't some charity, he was a great athlete with a very steep learning curve and low ceiling at the most critical position in the NFL, why would any team devote several seasons on a guy so that he might become as good as Vick.

So sick of people riding this defense's jock. They're good, but so is Cincinnati. And both units sure do love to play dirty. It's like Talib, Stewart, Ward, and Marshall got together and tried to replicate Burfict and PacMan's energy...by way of headhunting.
False. Pretty good is very generous. Poor mechanics, awful accuracy, unable to diagnose a defensive set, no progressions/reads. He was a good guy, and athletic, but he was never going to be a franchise quarterback.
The Tebow rehash is silly. More amusing is that Elway's supposed genius as GM is quite absent today with the dumpster fire that is the Broncos offense today.

Tebow, what a joke. If the Broncos hadn't sent Cutler away they probably would won another Super Bowl. The idea that Tebow/Orton were better than Jay is the stupid that was Josh McDaniels. I gotta believe New England knew what they were doing on that one....
