LeSean McCoy: 2-year-old son more talented than Tim Tebow

Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy is already teammates with one former New York Jets quarterback, Mark Sanchez. But he wouldn't want his team addng another: Tim Tebow.

McCoy, while at Los Angeles International Airport over the weekend, told TMZ Sports that his toddler has more NFL talent than Tebow.

"My son is 2," McCoy said. "I'd take my son over Tim Tebow."

Ouch!

1. The ultimate Teblow dis

Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi says Tebow trying to throw a pass "looks like a moose trying to (impregnate) a washing machine"

2. I don't follow football - is he really that bad?...

or just very unliked

he did make it
how does that happen if he is as bad as everybody says

4. What makes a successful QB in the college rank doesn't necessarily equate to NFL Stardom

If anything winning a Heisman Trophy as a QB is sometimes the kiss of death.

Here's some interesting stats about Heisman Trophy Winners. If I had a son who was a talented football player in college, I'd tell him to do everything possible to not win the trophy since clearly being a Heisman winner doesn't add up to NFL Success:

#7 Winning in the NFL is rare for Heisman QBs
Since 1950, 26 quarterbacks were selected as the Heisman Trophy winner. Of those 26, only 20 started at quarterback in at least one NFL game. Among those 20, only four quarterbacks have a winning record in the NFL (regular season). Robert Griffin III is the only Heisman winner with a career passer rating over 90 in the NFL (92.4). Since 1950, the combined NFL winning percentage for quarterbacks who won the Heisman Trophy is under .500 (465-489-3, .487).

5. He's essentially a running back, and actually at Florida was a

decent call player and leader...but you need to be able to THROW to make it in the NFL!

7. That averages out to about 3 full seasons (48 starts) for each of those 20.

So being a Heisman winner is clearly not an omen of NFL longevity.

9. It's like getting the cover of Sports Illustrated - you're just doomed

And he had that too

3. What's sad - this guy might have a decent career in the NFL if he'd consider switching positions

But he's so hell-bent on being an NFL quarterback that he's pretty much destroying whatever career he might have left.

I found this article on another site and it was so funny how the religious crazies got out defending what a "Talented NFL PLayer" Tebow is. Another poster replied back was simple and to the point - you gotta be playing in the NFL to be considered one.

11. As insults go THAT is a thing of beuty

There are many reasons I love the Big DU and this is one of them.

6. Nice post, trumad/ElSupremo.

8. Tebow couldn't even win the starter spot over Mark Sanchez, who has "career backup"

written all over him. Tells you something, right?

10. To be able to erase that season from my memory

That truly was a humiliating season to be a Jets fan

12. Here's the dumb thing about Tebow. If he'd just played another position like FB or TE or LB, he'd

be in the NFL right now. All the hand wringing by the Christians is nonsense. He's a talented football player and a lot of teams would have him, just not at QB.

13. If Tebow wants to be a success he should look to Doug Flutie

Flutie was another Heisman Trophy winner back in the mid-80s. He was drafted into the fledging USFL after graduation but that league soon folded. I know Flutie played for a few teams but mainly as a bench warmer. Flutie had what it takes to be a successful College QB but it didn't translate well into the NFL.

Instead of sitting around letting pride get into his way, Flutie took a job opportunity with the Canadian Football league. Sure it wasn't as lucrative as the NFL but he got to play everyday and is now considered one of the best QB ever in the CFL - even winning a few of their version of the Super Bowl up there (The Grey Cup).

Flutie was able to come back to the NFL and had a few good seasons starting for Buffalo and San Diego. The thing is this - Flutie could have been a failure in his professional career. He could have allowed his pride to control his legacy and he would have probably retired young as a professional bacckup QB in the NFL. Instead he found a way to be successful in his career.

In life you have two choices - let your pride control you to the point that you would rather sit on the bench and do nothing or find a way to get into the game even if it isn't your first choice of positions. For many of us, including myself, I would rather do the later - if you do you might find a way to still acheive your dreams and be a success.
