Colin Cowherd Blasts Top NFL Quarterback, Compares Him To Tim Tebow
There's a lot of different connotations that come with comparing a quarterback to Tim Tebow. But in this case, Colin Cowherd is making it pretty clear that it's not meant as a compliment.
On Thursday's edition of The Herd, Cowherd compared Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa to the former Broncos QB. He recalled back in 2011 when Tebow won seven games and led them to the playoffs that smart analysts started making silly arguments to explain why Tebow was having success.
«I said about a month ago, what if Tua goes out west against these defenses, what happens when it's cold, what happens when he goes up to a Cincinnati, or a Buffalo, or a Kansas City, and the weather is not warm and he gets exposed? I got major pushback. The past couple weeks he's faced really heavy pass rushes and he's been absolutely awful like Tim Tebow awful, like 3 for 17 awful. People forget the Tebow thing. Tebow won 7 straight games and reasonable people, excellent NFL people lost their collective minds
Tua currently leads in Pro Bowl voting, Tebow led in jersey sales. They weren't anywhere near the best player but we loved their �story', and it's a good �story'. The little guy that nobody believes in is rolling and crushing it. But I do wonder � if this game vs. the Bills completely unravels, are we looking at a guy who is probably capable of a winning streak but we fell in love with the �story', instead of just trusting our eyes that don't really lie?�»
