Isaac, please let me explain something, If you throw the ball deep enough times, the receiver can adjust to a ball thrown somewhere in their general direction. He cannot throw a 7 yard slant pass because there is not enough time to adjust to the 6 yards he missed by.

Think of it in baseball terms, an outfielder can run 150 feet to track down a fly ball, but a third baseman is fortunate to move 5 feet to his right to snag a liner.

You credit Tebow's success to the receivers being able to adjust to poorly thrown passes? Seriously? I mean seriously? To counter your statement, couldn't the Steelers safeties have adjusted just as well to defend the passes?

You said he couldn't throw and you were proven wrong. Rather than admit you were wrong, you try to turn the situation around and make excuses. Let me ask you this. What does Tebow need to do to prove to you that he can throw?

David, ever hear of David Clyde? He could throwand throw amazingly hard, but he could not pitch. To me it's just physics, ten feet off target at 21 feet compared to 15 feet off target at 90 feet leaves more time for the receiver to get to the ball. Pitt'e defensive backs also played a horrible game. Troy P gets to the wrong place faster than anyone else in football.
