I find it pretty funny that Tebow mania has taken the world by storm but you can barely sniff out a story east of the Mississippi about John Skelton. I mean the guy went 2-2 as a starter last year, Tebow went 1-2. Skelton is 5-1 as a starter, Tebow is 7-2 this year. The big difference between the two, besides the fact that nobody is talking about Skelton, is that Skelton is winning games by throwing the ball. He does not have the defense that Denver does, so he just can't hand the ball off or run it himself to win games and so far so good. This guy is getting better and better, yet the only thing we hear about is Tebow. When will this guy get his due, outside of 2 bad starts against a very good San Fran defense and a not so good St. Louis defense, Skelton has thrown for 300 yards in 2 starts and 280 in another. Time to start paying attention to SkeltonMania!
By the way people, nobody said that Tebow couldn't win, they said he couldn't throw and he has not done a ton to show me different at this point. I do think he has gotten a little bit better, but he hasn't shown me flashes of Brady or Brees. Once a quarterback starts winning games with his arm, he will start being taken more seriously, unless his name is John Skelton!
