Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Philip Rivers are the 3 usual suspects to be voted in for the Pro Bowl for the AFC. However this year could bring a BIG change with a name that everyone loves to chant.
As of December 1st, according to PFT the top dogs for QB in the AFC are Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, and Ryan Fitzpatrick in 4rth place is none other than the prodigal son, Tim Tebow.
Brady and Big Ben would appear to be locks however it is important to note that the players who go to the Super Bowl don’t go to the Pro Bowl and it is very possible either Tom Terrific or Big Ben will go to the big dance, which would put Tebow in the Pro Bowl.
Another thing which has helped Tebow is that Fitzpatrick’s Bills have been sliding while Tebow’s Broncos have been surging winning games.
In Tim Tebow’s 9 games this year he has a 45% completion rating and avg of 5.96 yards per pass and a QB rating of 80.5 not to mention has only thrown for 852 yards. Those are far from Pro Bowl numbers however Tebow also only has 1 INT this year and 455 rushing yards and 3 rushing TDs. Tebow is also 5-1 as a starter.
Personally, I am a Tim Tebow fan while I understand he has his faults as a QB, he entertains me and proves good guys don’t always have to finish last. As coach Herm says “You play to win the game” and it seems more times than not that’s exactly what Timmy does.
It is important to note that the fan vote is not the only factor and players and coaches vote.
Rookie Andy Dalton who is behind Tebow in voting would appear to be Tim’s biggest competition.
So if you are a fan of Tebowmania, hit the polls because Timmy has a legit chance at being a Pro Bowl QB. And if the AFC ends up needing a fourth-quarter comeback, they’ll have the ultimate weapon on their sidelines.
