i'll give you the bolded. definitely not better than kolb (when healthy). tavaris sucks. no way he is better than Cassel, when healthy.

as for tebow, skill set wise, he might be better. but there is that "it" factor that tim has.

For me, it's not that Webb is currently *better* than this starting QB or that starting QB. It's that he has all of the tools (but even more so, especially in throwing velocity and straight-line speed) than Tebow and, if he had the dominant defensive front 7, brutal running game, and coaching staff of John Fox and Co. that Tebow does, Webb would be the talk of the league--not Tebow. But, Minnesota sucks, already has its QB of the "future" in Ponder, and has one of--if not the--worst secondary in all of football. So yea.

That being said, he's definitely a better play than many NFL backups based purely on his sheer physical skills and matchup difficulties a la Tebow. This season, NFL teams have started AJ Feeley, Kellen Clemens, Josh McCown, TJ Yates, Carson Palmer, Blaine Gabbert, Curtis Painter, Dan Orlovsky, Seneca Wallace, Charlie Batch, Tyler Palko, John Skelton...I'd keep going but I'm starting to depress myself.

I definitely would like to see Joe get a chance to start. I like the guy. But, with those names given, most came from injuries. Palmer was signed because of an injurie. Gabbert was drafted at the qb of the "future". palko started because of an injury as with Skelton. Don't really know about the others because i don't pay enough attention to teams other than the Panthers & NFC south.
 
Definitely true about injuries, though I'd note that Oakland paid a king's ransom to trade for Palmer.

Still sort of speaking of Webb, Matt Williamson of ESPN brought up an interesting point about the Broncos and Tebow. If the Broncos decide to go "all in" on the Tebow experiment, then aren't they obliged to get a backup QB who can do roughly the same things and fit the same run-first, revised option-style offense? IOW, you can't draft Brandon Weeden to back up Tim Tebow. The choice to "go with" Tebow might require the Broncos to then trade for or draft ANOTHER QB for whom they wouldn't have to switch out offensive play books. If the Vikings are intent on giving Ponder, as the former 12th overall pick, the full opportunity to succeed as an NFL starting QB, perhaps a Webb-to-Broncos trade wouldn't be the most nonsensical thing in the world.

forgot it was a trade.

joe webb: that'd actually be pretty smart. i think they should actually make that happen. put Joe in for passing plays, because we all know tebow is not a great passer, and Tim for options. and you can switch it up to keep the opposing defense off balance.
 
So the NFL gets rightly bent over for ignoring concussions and letting guys play injured. This week the NFL brings in special concussion specialists for each team in order to avoid this. Minnesota's Ponder takes two hits, both of which likely resulted in concussions, but they keep him in for the rest of the drive anyway. You can't watch those hits, particularly the 2nd and not know he was concussed. Are these doctors allowed to watch the game? Does the coach decide when they get to look at a player? Why is this so difficult for the NFL?
 
Hey San Diego, I hear Pip Rivers is a pretty good QB also. I'm sure he has a Super Bowl and passing record too.

P.S. thank you for Sproles.
