He did not outplay Barkley.

Um, yeah he did.

Tebow in preseason:

21-36, 58.3% completions, 286 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT, 82 yards rushing, 1 Rushing TD

Barkley in preseason:

27-52, 51.9% completions, 351 yards, 0 TDs, 2 INTs, 7 yds rushing, 0 TDs.

Tebow was particularly better in the final game, which is what it came down to.

I wouldn't say he beat him. He just fits the system better. Did he beat him out statistically? I honestly don't know. Not to mention, they have a backup QB in Tebow they can actually use situationally in games. Whereas Barkley was never seeing the field.

So you say you have no idea what you are talking about, but offer an opinion anyway. Thanks for that.

No, I didn't say any of that. You did. But you're welcome anyway.
BTW, I'm just going by what I've heard from analysts and from what I saw in the one game I did watch a bit of. Barkley actually looked decent. Tebow looked like Tebow. Inability to throw, but could run. Just because I dont' know how they stacked up statistically doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about.

No, Tebow outplayed Barkley, only in the last game. Even Skip, Tebow's biggest fan, said he outplayed Tebow in those first 3 games. Not only that, Barkley played against better competition.

Like someone said earlier, Tebow's style fit this team better. Plus, they been tried to trade Barkley.

Personally, I would say Barkley outplayed Tebow in the first game, the two were equally bad in the second and third, and then Tebow won the fourth and final comparison in pretty convincing fashion.

Just to be clear, I am no Tebow fan. Most of us in the Philly forum hate Tebow. We even have a thread titled "Tim Tebow BLOWS".

But...Barkley blows harder. Sad but true.

Can't see the Iggles going with only 2 QBs with Bradford's injury history.

RGIII to Iggles?

Maybe. So Bradford and RGIII get the Eagles through week 2 and then it's Sanchez for the rest of the season.

That would make sense, but it's not clear Washington would give him up to a division rival cheap.

Tebow will be unemployed. If Bradford goes down, he's a phone call away.

Time for T-Blow to hit the broadcast booth and the speaker circuit
he does not have the ability to be a QB in The NFL

I honestly hope he hears the voice of GOD say it s time to move on great guy just not the skill set plus his learning disability to be a NFL QB

In the end, Chip decided neither Barkley nor Tebow were worth an NFL roster spot. Can't say I disagree.
