mountainwampus Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 So Rex Ryan is talking about using Wildcat 20x per game with Tebow. Not sure if I'll get attacked for this but here goes: I think Brad Smith has proven to be a more successful Wildcat QB in the NFL. Last year Brad was used 20 times at QB, he had 7 1st downs and 1 TD and he showed an excellent ability to find a softspot in the D-line and pick up crucial short yardage. Tebows stats are harder to decipher, since he was a starting QB, and not usually in Wildcat, but he had 6 fumbles and his biggest run of the year (against the Jets) was blatant holding in the End Zone. I'm not sure I've ever seen anything so great out of Tebow that would warrant using him 20 times per game. Although, I would love to see Brad Smith used about 3-5 times per game for short yardage and goalline situations. Perhaps Tebow will have some success, but not against the Bills. If he couldn't get by Kelsay, he'll have a heck of a time going against Mario. Thoughts?
atlbillsfan1975 Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 I got to go with Tebow. If he is used like he was his freshman year at Fla when Leak was there, he could be a game changer. It will be up to the Jets O Cord to figure out when/how to use him. Sanchez will also have to be 'babied' in this process. Not something i see Rex doing well. I mean i see him trying at first, then getting pissed if Sanchez pouts. Should make for a very intersting year for the Jets fans. And if it doesn't go smoothly, which i do not think it will in the long run, fun for us Bills fans to watch.
KD in CA Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Whichever one has the chance to take snaps away from the awful Mark Sanchez.
dayman Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Smith won't throw it based on what I've seen so there's only one answer.
SlamnSam Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Smith won't throw it based on what I've seen so there's only one answer. Smith is definitely better. He's at least a football player. Tebow, well he’s a clown and makes the circus more fun.
Turbosrrgood Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) I don't like Tebow as a QB in general, but running the "wildcat" is exactly what he is made for. He doesn't have enough accuracy or the good decision making of a starting QB, but he can throw plenty well enough out of that formation. He can obviously run. Smith is fast, and a threat out of that formation. But my grandmother could throw better left handed than Smith, and she's dead... IMO, that formation is far more dangerous when you keep some sort of passing threat alive. Smith won't throw it based on what I've seen so there's only one answer. More like Smith can't throw, so he's not allowed to throw it. Edited March 26, 2012 by Turbosrrgood
Dorkington Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Tebow is a better QB and Smith is a better WR. Hard to tell who is a better RB though. So all that being said... since Wildcat is basically RB+QB, I give it to Tebow.
mountainwampus Posted March 26, 2012 Author Posted March 26, 2012 Smith won't throw it based on what I've seen so there's only one answer. Well, he did throw that nice INT. Sure, it was a pick, but it was also a nice spiral. I think Tebow might actually be better if he gave up on throwing. My biggest concern is that Chan won't allow the Wildcat anymore, because it was too successful. (gotta keep it under wraps) Though, it would be really smart to at least PRACTICE it, since they'll face it 40 TIMES per year, based on Rex's comments.
DrDawkinstein Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Which one has National Championships, Heisman trophy/nominations, and has won an NFL playoff game at QB? I'll go with that one.
benderbender Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 If they would have let Smith throw it just one more time, opposing defenses would have to honor each wildcat formation as a possible pass.
Best Player Available Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Since Smith has become a Bill. I don't know if he's good at anything. He showed zero last year. As a kick returner he was terrible. One thing for sure he could not have lead a team to the playoffs and a playoff win.
BillsCelticsAngelsBama Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Which one has National Championships, Heisman trophy/nominations, and has won an NFL playoff game at QB? I'll go with that one. My EXACT sentiment +100 %.
Max997 Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Tebow by far the difference is Brad Smith can play WR
Ramius Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Which one has National Championships, Heisman trophy/nominations, and has won an NFL playoff game at QB? I'll go with that one. Since when do collegiate titles and Heisman trophies even remotely predict future NFL success?

John from Riverside Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Tebow is gonna be a better wildcat.....but won necessarily be better for his team It will be interesting to see how all of this affects Mark Sanchez.....and its not like Bills fans will be changing for Smith to go to QB if Fitz has a bad game.... Smith needs to run some wildcat and play wide out.....let Justin Rogers handle the return duties please
Gugny Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 First of all, I'd like to thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for blessing me with the ability to take part in polls like these.
