John Fox: Tim Tebow would be ‘screwed’ in a normal offense - Shutdown Corner - NFL Blog - Yahoo! Sports

NFL head coaches do not specialize in being honest and forthcoming. Trying to get candor out of one of them is akin to trying to milk an anvil. This is why John Fox, head coach of the Denver Broncos, is today's hero.

The honesty that somehow shot forth from his mouth wasn't even anything we all didn't already know -- but it's so honest, and thus, so refreshing, that I feel like it's worth celebrating. Fox talked to Jeff Darlington of NFL.com this week about a lot of things, including Tebow running his new pass-free option offense.


"Do whatever the hell it takes," he laughed. "I mean, what the hell? You don't get points for style in this league. Let me tell you something: My man is really good in this offense. You know what I mean?

"If we were trying to run a regular offense, he'd be screwed."

Well, he is being honest atleast?

Maybe the Eagles should run that offense for Vick for it is obvious he can not do it trying to be conventional

I dont watch football, but all Sportscenter is saying is that you cant win by only throwing 8 times in a game. LOL!

It doesn't look pretty, but hey, 3-1 as a starter is better than looking pretty in a loss!

He still doesn't complete 50% of his passes!
