Who I want to see in the Super Bowl...
I want to see the "best quarterback in football" Aaron Rodgers lead his team to the Super Bowl to take on the "worst quarterback in football" Tim Tebow & the Denver Broncos.  I don't care how it happens, but I'd like to see the Broncos win (it hurts to say this, since I hate Denver).  I know that it's likely that Green Bay wins this year, and still very possible that Denver doesn't even make the playoffs, but I just want to see all of the reactions if this were to happen.  I wonder how many people would jump on the Tebow bandwagon that would be created by this.  I also wonder if a player could go from being labeled the "worst" to being called the "best" in one season.

lol my roomamte is from Denver and we've been chugging along on that Tebow train the past month. The other day I described a scenario in which the Broncos won the division, advanced through the playoffs and then ended the Packers run to Perfection. The final stats would look like this: Tebow 4-17 104 yds 2 tds, 25 carries for 167 yds 2 tds. Rodgers 34-40 377 yds 3 tds. Broncos 28 Packers 21.
 
So impossible that that happens, but if it did every team would be pissed they passed on Tebow a few years ago. Then Tebow would be the official worst qb to ever win a super bowl.

Come on guys this is absolute lunacy. I kinda hope Oakland plummets just so the Broncos make the playoffs by default and get blown out in the first round by Pittsburgh.

The Packers already smashed the Tebowless Broncos 48-23, a game in which Rodgers (the undisputed best player in the league) threw for 4 tds and ran for 2 more. If by some miracle Tebow wins a playoff game abd then by an even bigger miracle makes the Super Bowl, it will end there because he has no chance against the Packers.

I don't think the Broncos will win, nor do I really want them to win.  I am just trying to poke fun at the whole "Tebow effect" out there.

I heard something funny the other day on this subject.  Someone actually tried to argue that wins in the NFL don't matter, while trying to discredit Tebow.  Seriously??  Wins don't matter in the NFL???  That's how ridiculous this whole thing is.

Wins don't matter that much when you look at it from the standpoint of evaluating an individual player. It's a team stat and I've never understood why they keep mentioning wins/comebacks/playoff wins for qbs but never for another position. I guess it's like awarding wins to pitchers, but I personally don't think it's at all the same.

I agree with you to a point.  I don't think how many wins a quarterback's team gets matters anywhere near as much as his actual skill set does.  However, sometimes wins can be a factor as far as performance goes.  You might have a guy with an arm like Peyton, but if he's making mistakes that are costing his team wins, then that is something that can affect the decision to start or even play him.

I am going off my memory after seeing that show one time, but if I remember correctly the guy wasn't talking about wins as far as evaluating a player.  He was literally saying that wins don't matter in the NFL.  Now I know they don't mean as much as they do in college football, where one loss can derail a teams chances of winning a title, but they are still very important when you're only playing 16 games in your regular season.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but there have only been two wild card teams that won the Super Bowl (Raiders and Steelers), and a few years back the Patriots missed the playoffs despite winning 11 games.  So I think it's pretty ridiculous for someone to say wins don't matter in the NFL, just because they don't want to give a player any credit for what he's accomplished.
