The Broncos play the Patriots this week, which natrually gives folks a chance to turn the focus onto Tim Tebow and Tom Brady. Why, they might write an entire piece pretending there is a comparison between the two, as Rick Reilly does. Here's how it starts: Tom is righty. Tim is lefty.
Tom is 34. Tim is 24.
Tom is second in passing yards among NFL starters this season. Tim is dead last.
Tom is third in completion percentage. Tim is dead last.
Tom has won five games in a row. Tim has won six.
Tom swears like a teamster who has stubbed his little toe. Tim says "Gosh!" and "Golly!" and calls reporters "Sir." (I hired a lip reader to monitor Tim in Week 13. The worst he said was an impassioned, "Let's go!")
Tom has a QB rating of 106.0. Tim's is 83.9.
But in the fourth quarter, Tom's is 91.0 and Tim's is 99.6.
