Fitzgerald raves about Tebow

Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald isn’t saying much about the quarterbacks currently on his team, but he’s saying plenty about a guy who plays on the other side of the country.

“If you’re not a fan of Tim Tebow, something’s wrong with you,” Fitzgerald said at the Colonial All-Pro Football Camp on Monday, via the Daily Press. “He does things the right way. If you spend any time with the guy, he’s a kid that parents would want their kid to be like. He’s the kind of guy that you want your daughter to marry. We need more people like him, not just athletes.”

Of course, that’s not a reflection of Fitzgerald’s beliefs regarding Tebow’s skills as a quarterback. But given that the Cardinals currently have two so-so guys who are struggling to stand out, it’s hard not to wonder whether Fitzgerald would have lobbied for Tebow, if Tebow had been available before the Cardinals paid Kevin Kolb’s $7 million roster bonus in March.

Sweet.

Imagine Fitz playing with Tebow in the preseason with the rest of the 2nd teamers? David Clowney and Brett Ratliffe eat your heart out!

MAYBE SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH YOUR FACE, LARRY FITZGERALD.

[Il Mostro]

Fitz needs to demand a trade right now.

[Villain The Foe]

Tebow will miss Fitz by 10 yards.



EDIT: On a curl route.

Dumb article-ish report. Fitzy says Tbow's a good person. He admires him as a role model. He'd let him date his sister or whatever. Football...not a word about his QB ability. Let's get mad at him anyway!

Note: i wouldn't let Tbow date my sister as I'm sure he'd be the victim of rape and possibly PTSD.

Tebow will miss Fitz by 10 yards.



EDIT: On a curl route.

I know right? Sanchez would only miss him by seven yards, being the more accurate QB and all.

NO WAY this ever gets old.

NO WAY this ever gets old.

Nope. Never. Plus it's a hit with the ladies. Unlike your face.

Except the loud ones that like to bang 24 hours a day 7 days a week?

Hence the reason why Tebow's the back up. Great observation

[Sperm Edwards]

I'm sure Sanchez's accuracy would be totally unaffected if the percentage of his attempts 15+ yards downfield was 50% higher. They're just as easy to complete as 3 yard dumpoffs and 8 yard quick slants (not that even his completions were generally on-the-money passes to begin with).

If Larry Fitz could get to the Jets would we let Tebow start?

When have we ever thrown the ball father than 15 yards??

No

[Jet-T's]

No way, no how, should 16 start Tebow be the season starter over 52 start Sanchez.

It's Mark's job to lose or keep with his own performance in 2012.

The good news is that IF Mark does lose his job for ANY reason, they will still have a Playoff winning capable QB to come in.

And why will it be okay if Tim does have to start? Well, basically because negative 'opinions' don't alter the on the field Tebow facts one iota.

Ahem. Can I date your sister?

[sirlancemehlot]

Ahem. Can I date your sister?

Sure. Bring two friends a ball gag and a pair of bolt cutters. You'll understand later.
