But of course, the old proverbial copout of "can't attack the message, so attack the messenger". Not a valid approach.
Do tell -- am I drunk when I point out that Tebow helped the Donks win his 1st playoff start & Elway and the Donks lost Elway's 1st playoff start? After all, you did say "In no world is a comparison of Tebow to Elway applicable." [Reply]

Silly debate you’re working on built upon a crazy premise. [Reply]

It's only "silly" to you.
My analysis of Tebow being shafted with Elway being one of the primary culprits involved still stands.
I found an interesting quote from You Tube (I can't post links at the present time) that goes like this:

Could it be that Elway's desire to get rid Tebow also had something to do with the pursuit of Manning? Granted, Manning was an all-time great, but Manning wasn't getting any legit SB trophy in Denver that was earned in legit fashion on a level playing field -- same as Elway. [Reply]

Earlier, I mentioned that Manning becoming available gave them the perfect exit strategy with Tebow. [Reply]

Yes, you did mention that & I didn't say you were wrong about that. I only mentioned that Tebow was worthy of being considered as a backup to Manning.
If that had happened, I don't believe Tebow would've crybabied about it (like Elway did when Tommy Maddox was drafted in 1992), but would have given his full 100% support to Manning, as Tebow would still have been getting paid and still be a part of the team. [Reply]
