One thing you are right about is that it is a very small sample size.
The first game against SD Tebow didn't play until the late in the 2nd half and was 4-10 for 79 yds but he did almost help bring them back from being down big and win.
The 2nd game against SD he went 9-18 for 143 yds in a win. That's figuring him out the 2nd time around?
The first KC game he was 2-8 for 69yds in a win and the 2nd game he was 6-22 for 60 yds in a loss. Looks like KC just has a good defense. They didn't figure anything out different.
As for NE Bill Belichick does that to just about every team he plays the 2nd time around not just Tebow.
Why don't we all just wait until after next year when Tebow has a full off season,mini-camp, pre- season and regular season as the starter to evaluate his prospect as an NFL QB. If he doesn't improve at all next year I will be the first to say I was wrong about him being a QB in the NFL.
