Let us first address what “run-first” means. Perhaps we have a different concept of what running first means. In college, Tim Tebow’s career rushing attemps vs passing attempts were as follows:

- 692 rushing attempts
- 995 passing attempts

So far in the NFL, here are Tebow’s stats:

- 30 rushing attempts
- 45 passing attempts

So, in spite of the mathematics of it all, are you to have us believe that Tim Tebow is unlike any other human being who has ever played as a professional football QB? Are you suggesting that he actually looks to run first, but when the run play breaks down, he starts to look downfield for a pass? Because that is the only way he could have a higher pass attempt count if he infact is a “run-first” QB. Conventional wisdom would suggest that many of his rushing attempts were the result of broken down pass plays.

So… I ask again, what constitutes “run-first”? I was under the impression that he would have to have more rushing attempts. But like I said earlier, maybe you will make a vain attempt to argue that he changes run plays into pass plays after the ball is snapped.

The second question I have for you, is at what point is someone considered an NFL starter? If they can throw and run for touchdowns in the NFL with a 100.7 passer rating, do they meet your requirement? Granted it has only been two games, but the evidence so far suggests he is good enough. Kyle Orton could have beat the Texans also. Brady Quinn is the one I am not sure about.

Look, I am not suggesting that Tebow is perfect. I just do not understand why other rookie QBs who I believe are inferior, such as Bradford, McCoy, and Clausen are not scrutinized in the same way. Tebow served us well for four years at the University of Florida. Be glad that you have him now. I also wasn’t sure about all the hype surrounding him when he got to UF. He ended up deserving every bit of it.
