Trent Dilfer is an idiot.

[marmar]

That's all.

[fishwax]

1. Is this in reference to something specific?

(Or is that really all?)

[marmar]

2. I just watched some of his "insightful" commentary on SportsCenter.....

..... I'm shocked that he was even able to memorize more than 2 plays when he was a quarterback.

[fishwax]

3. what'd he say?

[marmar]

4. He said something about Tim Tebow playing some of the best quarterback he's played ......

..... at the beginning of the game, then downplaying his impact on the team in the loss. ...... All of this after last week saying that there was something "special" about Tebow and his impact on the team.

And really, it's just par for the course with dumb commentary from him.

5. yeah it was a long time ago

They will say anything to keep the faux legend going.

6. yeah, sounds stupid -- Tebow did start quite strong, but the second part I can't get behind

The second of the three brutal turnovers that killed the Broncos in the second quarter was Tebow's fumble, and it was after that fumble that New England actually took the lead. It's true that the defense gave up a lot of points in this game, but 17 of those came off of turnovers in scoring position. After kicking a field goal barely more than a minute into the second quarter, the Broncos only ran 8 plays for the rest of the half.

For Tebow it was basically the reverse of his usual trajectory--he was 4 of his first 6 for 61 yards and then 7 of 17 the rest of the way.

9. He Also Took A 28 Yard Loss

I think he's starting to believe in that silly magic thing himself. One cannot run around with no plan 28 yards behind the line of scrimmage and actually think you're going to accomplish anything.

By the time he got where he was, he would have needed to throw the ball 40 yards JUST TO GET A FIRST DOWN!

He's an idiot.

7. ...with a Super Bowl ring.

Hard to wrap my head around that.

[Iggo]

10. By some people's reasoning, that makes him...

...as good as Favre and better than Marino.

[trumad]

11. Favre has an SB ring.

[ProfessorGAC]

8. You're Quite The Master Of The Obvious

He wasn't much of a player, and now he comments as if he was all-world and everyone else stinks. I don't like him either.

Jim Miller is the same way. He does postgame in Chicago on Comcast Sportsnet. He had one decent season and acts like he was Joe Montana.
