Your 'beliefs' mean less than dick to me.

Again, you're completely ignoring that you are treating both players as the same kind of quarterback. Tebow is not your traditional pass-only quarterback. So if you use those kinds of statistics (interceptions and completion percentage), then you will come to the conclusion that Tebow is not a good quarterback.
That's a QB's job! If he sucks at the things that a QB is supposed to do, then he sucks. Period.
But what if you look at the leadership factor?
What is that? Quantify it.
What if you look at rushing yards and touchdowns?
Isn't that why I pay running backs?
What if you look at how differently defenses had to prepare and play against Tebow than they did for any other quarterback?
You have to prepare just as rigorously against the likes of Brady, Rodgers, and Manning, and I don't see them dropping 40% completion bombs in half their games.
This is like defending a center in basketball with little strength, zero rebounding ability, zero shot blocking ability, no post moves, and has trouble setting clean screens, because he can hit 18 foot jump shots, can pass like a point guard, and happens to play on a 50 win team. It doesn't mean anything, he's still a terrible center, because he doesn't do what his team actually needs him to do.
