Obvious joke post, but Telbow is probably the only 245 quarterback in the NFL and not many of the guys even come close in college.

Are you referring to his weight?   Cause if you are he is closer to the average size than you think.   He is listed at 236 on NFL.com.   There are quite a few QBs at that weight and larger.

Yes I was reffering to his weight in pounds. I thought in last nights broadcast the announcers said he weighed 245. Denver has Tebow listed at 235 lbs, so I might have heard wrong. The average weight is about 220 lbs, but when the weight is mostly muscle it makes a big difference.

To better put my ideas out, I would also say no quarterback is willing to sacrifice their body like Tebow right now and the only team so far to rough him up good was the Raiders. 15 pounds on a fast running quarterback adds a lot of force to a fast moving object. It is simple physics.

No QB?   

Roethlisberger, Newton, Vick, Freeman dont exist in the same league? And if I had to guess I would say the average weight is higher than 220, probably closer to 230.  when Tom Brady who is as skinny as a they come, weighs in at 225.   Then you have Big Ben, Newton, and Freeman all pushing 250.  I think the smallest QB is Brees at 210.

Stop putting him on a pedestal,  he is an average RB who plays QB.
