I still think we need to get rid of all politicians and start from scratch.  They are almost all corrupt and instead of fixing issues just try to blame the other political party for nothing getting done.

My thoughts on politics is its better to hit yourself in the face with a framing hammer then argue  about them......... its a better feeling process.

If you are going to compare Tebow to a black running quarterback, it should not be Vick or Cam Newton.  The guy may be comparable to Vince Young or even an Akili Smith and his career will have the same path.  This guy will not be around long enough for the hits to affect his career and is better suited to the CFL... or maybe just being a preacher.

The management messed up and let the fans dictate who would play. . Tebow aint ready, yet. He's looking better but still doesn't see a lot of open targets down field when he moves in the pocket. He is getting better at putting touch on his passes anyway.

I don't think it matters what color a QB is in the NFL anymore, they are going to be scrutinized, it's the nature of playing the most difficult and important position in all of sports.

Tebow and Vick are not comparable IMO, nor Cam.  Both Vick and Cam can make every NFL throw and have super fast releases.  Tebow is very unique.

For the record, I like Tebow and it's a great story, but no chance I would trade Kevin Kolb (as a Cardinal fan) for him. Of comparable age QB's, I would take Cam (in a heartbeat), Dalton, Locker, Bradford, and even Ponder (barely) over Tebow. I would take Tebow over Gabbard or McCoy, but that's it.

I might even take Gabbert i talent alone over Tebow although I do think that there is something to Tebow's contagious enthusiasm. I believe that it doesn't matter if you have tebow, Gabbert, Mccoy, or Ponder, keep looking you still don't have the right guy! Horrible for a team to take the wrong quarterback, take it from me I'm a Lions fan, I know pain and suffering. The only positive for the teams like jacksonville with Gabbert, if he doesn't pan out, is it isn't costing them as much with the new rookie wage scale, best thing ever rookies shouldn't make more than Manning and Brady.

Vick did what for one season? I think many people have forgotten, the guy was pretty damn good at times in Atlanta. His career record as a starter is 51-37, and over 5,000 yards rushing in his career, and those Atlanta teams were not exactly great. He has never been a high percentage passer, but there are a of QB's that would like to be 14 games over 500 for their career.....This isn't college football where if you are decent you go 10-2, winning games is hard.

Vick can be as good as any quarterback in the NFL at times but the eagles had better trust in Vince Young or a future backup because Vick's issue is not his play it is staying healthy, which is an issue for most mobile quarterbacks. Especially Vick who is not a large person, as far as NFL standards go.
