GATOR GRIDIRON
ROGER FRANKLIN WILLIAMS
As the anti-Tebow avalanche of national media attacks continues to explode, a particularly lame shot came from a likely source---former journeyman NFL QB Boomer Esiason.
"He can't throw", chirped Boomer...., wait a minute, isn't venerable ESPN analyst Chris Berman known as Boomer?....anyway, Esiason claims Tim Tebow can't make it in the NFL because "he can't throw".
Funny, he (Tebow) managed to throw for almost 10,000 yards (more than Dan Marino in his college career) and 88 TDs in the toughest conference in college football. What did "the other Boomer" do in college (at Maryland,btw, during an era when the ACC was little more than flag football)? The Great Boomer Esiason had 6,000 yards and 42 TDs... Less than half the touchdowns and 3,000 less yards than Tim, in 3 years as a starter for the Terrapins. Rushing yards? Well, the Great Boomer...or "the other Boomer"...whatever, had net negative career rushing yards.
Well what about the NFL? Good question, "the other Boomer" has a career sub-.500 win percentage in as a starting QB in the National Football League.
And this stiff declares Tim Tebow doesn't have what it takes to play QB in the NFL?
