Is Tebow for real?

I think the question is fairly simple.

Two-point conversion: without looking it up, who is Mike Kruczek?

1. Backup-QB to Terry Bradshaw in late 1970s.
2. Former recordholder of most-consecutive wins to start your career before it was snapped by Ben Roethlisberger.

I think he eventually becomes a tight end /H-Back They'll scheme for him next year and probably last few of this year. The Vick solution - just have a linebacker shadow him.

I can see him continuing to develop. Look at Big Ben, handoff king his first year, now a great passer. Tebow seems to have leadership and that "desire to win" trait in him. And he has a clean image that is hard to find in today's celebs.

I hope you are right. I like him - wish there were more like him in society in general LOL. Like the old positive thinking gurus used to say "Desire is the key!"

I recuse myself from the two point conversion due to being a die hard life long Steelers fan.

Didn't stop me. Remember, the Cowboys were (falsely) adopted as a team of a country as "America's Team" but we founded a country in STEELER NATION!

Tebow presents a different way to win, for now. He's actually the new Kordell Stewart: a better physical specimen than Kordell (but nowhere near as talented), and in a system that has been changed to take advantage of his strengths rather than trying to change him to meet a preconceived notion of what he should be able to do.

He's good enough at this style so that even when teams figure out how to defend it, he'll be successful against them. Folks know how to defend Aaron Rodgers, but knowing how to do it isn't the same as doing it.

His success is real. As Coach Tomlin says, you are what the tape says you are, and the tape says 6-1. My prediction is that he's strong enough to last a year or two at this, and then he'll get a knee injury and he won't be quick enough to be successful any more.

Hehe.

Kruzcek facts:

He ended his Steelers career without ever losing a game he started: he went 6-0 in 1976. (He lost a game with Washington.)
He ended his career with a 60.4% completion percentage, 7.7 yards per attempt and 12.7 yards per completion. Not bad. And really not bad for the '70s.
He never threw a touchdown pass.

These are just interesting facts, not meant to make him better than he actually was. He wasn't very good. He took sacks on 13% of his pass attempts, and his average loss per sack was 9 yards; Roethlisberger, by comparison, is sacked 8.7% of the time for an average loss of about 6.7 yards.

Last I saw he was a QB coach in Minnesota or somehting. He seems one of those players who was good enough to stay as a backup, and used his time on the sidelines to learn how to coah and run a team. As such even 25 years later he can still catch on as a mid-tier coach, just being careful how long of a lease he signs when he moves to town.

I still remember when the Steelers beat the Rams and he was whooping it up in the locker room for winning the championship and my dad and uncle saying, "WTF, the guy didn't even take a snap all year and he acts like he won it all?!"

Not saying he might not be a good guy, but that was their reaction. My brother and I had shirts with his number on them, probably because all the "12s" were sold out where my mother bought them.
