I am not big into NFL either (especially after the Bucs have become the Clippers of NFL!!!) butI want to try and follow the wild cat offense teams and dual threat QBs as much as I can.....thanks to Tebow :-)
Young had "suicidal" instincts last year and was benched in the beginning this year...but he has played some phenomenal games lately is what I hear. Vick is yet to be proven if the jail food has taken the football player in him totally or the bad karma from dog killing is still revolving around him in a thick cloud! Alex Smith, on the other hand...I hear that is also having a resurrected career this season....Pacific Northwest Gatortalkers can probably fill us in more here. -BadMan On Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 7:49 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > I think that Tebow would work out - one way or another.
