The offense gets run mostly from the sidelines.

So the sideline leads the huddle, takes the snap, hands the ball off, runs with the ball, and passes the ball?

I think you're confusing the calling of plays with running the offense.

You score points and win the game by completing passes.
So rushing TD's don't count? Protecting the ball doesn't count? Fourth quarter winning drives don't count?

Tebow had 17 passing TD's and 12 rushing TD's, vs 9 interceptions. He also had a winning record.

It seems to me that his accomplishments are much more convincing than your opinion.

The sideline calls the play which the QB relays in the huddle, which includes the snap count is to use. The QB’s job is executing the play called. And if the play called is a pass, which it is more than half the time in the modern NFL, part of that execution is completing the pass. Which Tebow doesn’t do.

A QB with under 50% completions is not protecting the ball.

He has a bad completion percentage. And over half “his” wins involved him throwing less than 10 passes. He is quite simply not a good QB. He’s a gamer. Lots of effort. And highly entertaining to watch, so long you’re not the guy who called a pass play only to watch him throw it at the grass.

My “opinion” is matched by the 4 different coaches he’s worked for over his career. And in a few months there’s a good chance a 5th coach is going to be added to the list of guys acknowledging he doesn’t have what it takes. It’s his failure they see, and that I’m pointing out. Sorry if you don’t find that convincing, but that’s on you. His history is there and plainly obvious: cannot complete passes in the NFL level.

But apparently not convincing enough to the three NFL teams that have already determined Tebow doesn't have what it takes to make their team, and the 28 others who didn't think Tebow was worth bringing into camp. That leaves the Eagles. And we'll see if Tebow can show enough to stick around with them.
