Damning words from Demaryius Thomas about Tebow

MI_Buckeye · 04-13-2012, 03:15 AM

I completely agree, but I'm surprised Thomas would say it publicly as strongly as he did.

Must be hard to hide the elation of changing QB's from Tebow to Manning.

SuperPacker · 04-13-2012, 05:42 AM

They make it sound like saying "Peyton > Tebow" is a terrible thing.

I'm surprised there wasn't a love boat sized party.

Please, this is going to be one of those posts on ESPN where there will be 900 comments and most of them will be in defense of Tim Tebow.

This is no surprise... I just hope he can take all of this with him to the Jets. That would make me a happy camper.

TheBoyWonder22 · 04-13-2012, 06:36 AM

Most of the comments complain about his English and call Thomas fat and slow as well as saying he can't catch... It would be so different if he typed it up himself but that's how a reporter conveyed his words. Plus Thomas has a studly YAC. I have no clue why people are so defensive of Tebow.

You are a heathen.

Burn the heretic!

-_- In all seriousness though. At this stage I don't think anyone aside from members of the "Church of Tebow-christ" believes he's an NFL quarterback. Thomas should be excited. He's going from a QB that would complete 50% of his passes during warmups to Peyton Manning.

Can we have we have a new NFLDC rule stating no more new threads about Tebow?

I can make a thread to discuss that if you want.

"Everything on ESPN was all about Tim," Thomas said. "That bothered some players, too, because they would say, 'Tim Tebow Time.' I felt like it was a team thing. If it wasn't for the defense most of the time, there wouldn't be no supposed 'Tim Tebow Time.' "

If he's upset about this it's not like it'll get any better with Manning. Granted it's more warranted, but having Manning on your team is like having a credit vacuum.

Not in the same way. Not at all. Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark, even Pierre Garcon all got time in the spotlight. Manning is a private and businesslike player and person. Not only will the credit he receives be warranted, but the people giving him credit won't be complete idiots. Manning doesn't have the same blind devoted fanbase of nutcases that Tebow does.

Menardo75 · 04-13-2012, 10:04 AM

I don't get what people expect him to say. Who wouldn't want to play with Peyton instead of Tebow? I can't even imagine how frustrated he and the rest of the WR corps got last year.

However, when it comes down to credit on the field there is no way you could possibly deny that Manning gets virtually all the credit for the Colts playoff years. If you listened to the announcers, every pass he threw was only successful because he called the play, audibled for the matchup, had a laser quick release to avoid the sack, and threw a perfect pass to an averagely talented receiver corps who were always covered. He dominated the sports media markets for the Colts, he got every segment and commercial. When the Colts won a game the headline and picture always included Manning some way in it.

He may not bask in it, and he definitely deserves it because he's 1 of the 5 best QB's ever, but he was the dominant personality on the Colts. When people talk about the 2000's Colts the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd thing they talk about is Manning.

This is all probably true. But as a WR I would find that infinitely preferable to Tebow Time.

Tebow Time > Peyton Manning's playoffs performances...

*prepares to be flamed*

Y'all are just haters of the poor kid. He will get his chance in New York prove ya all wrong once again.

This seems at least as plausible as the Tebow Time storyline.

So Demaryius Thomas would rather allow Perrish Cox have sex and impregnate his girlfriend than have ESPN talk about "Tebow Time!"

:P

At least Thomas has a chance to catch some of that action.

Rosebud · 04-13-2012, 01:04 PM

This guy can't wait to see Tebow smite you heathens. Haven't you fools yet realized that logic is no longer applicable?
