I am totally confused in the analysis of Tim Tebow versus the analysis of Cam Newton. Seems that ESPN has a vested interest in Tebow's failure since most of their analysts have graded him so badly. Newton seems to be a favorite and the coverage of him is glowing.
When they analyzed the first games for each they made a point to show the one incomplete pass Tebow made and critiqued him on footwork and accuracy. He was 6 for 7.
Newton was 8 for 19 but all they showed were his completions . I did see some of his incompletions on another highlight show. He missed some wide open receivers and threw off the wrong foot when some pressure was applied, but none of that was brought up. In matter of fact on the crawl for "The Lead" they put "Cam Newton throws for 134 yards" They did not put the 8 for 19 until the actual game score went by.
They are very similar QBs at this time and it is yet to be seem who does well, but they sure seem to be writing the story they want to tell and not the actual reality of the situation.
