Tim Tebow Hopes to Impress NFL Scouts Just As Much As JaMarcus Russell Did

Tim Tebow is working extremely hard to prove to NFL scouts that he will be a successful NFL Quarterback. Many scouts are questioning his arm strength and ability to play in a pro-style offense. Tebow is working with strength coaches to prove to scouts that he has just as much potential as former #1 NFL pick, JaMarcus Russell.

"I believe that I should be drafted just as high as JaMarcus Russell did before he became one of the biggest busts in NFL history" said Tebow. "I am marketable, have broken numerous records in college, and deserve the media attention and contract that being the #1 pick gets."

Tebow claims that his stats are even better than Russell's was during college. Tebow guarantees that his career will be better than Russell, although teams who actually agree with him are still hesitant to take him on day one.

NFL Fans Demand Playoff System to Determine Wild Cards, Not Tiebreakers

NFL fans are sick of tiebreakers determining the wild card teams, so they're hoping the NFL changes the rules in the future to have a playoff system to determine teams who are tied. Heading into the final day of NFL play, the Jets, Ravens, Broncos, Dolphins, Steelers, Texans, Jaguars, and probably some more than I forgot are fighting for the two wild card spots in the AFC.

With so many teams competing for those two spots, a tie between multiple teams will inevitably occur. When that happens, a computer will figure out the lucky teams through complicated tiebreakers that nobody really understands. The two selected teams that the computerized tiebreakers randomly select will get the privilege of losing to the New England Patriots and Cincinnati Bengals in the first round of the playoffs. The fans want the teams who are tied to battle it out on the field, rather than through computers. Until then, they'll just have to live with the team whose opponents had the toughest schedule in conference play or some random tiebreaker like that.

Joshua Cribbs' Kickoff Returns Limit Browns Time of Possession

The Cleveland Browns are struggling in the time of possession category this season, and Joshua Cribbs' two kickoff returns yesterday didn't help. The Browns had the ball for a combined 29 seconds in the two runbacks.

Cribbs is looking for a new contract this offseason and his lack of respect towards the team holding onto the ball for an extended period of time will certainly be considered during negotiations. Cribbs has been known in his career for returning kickoffs and punts for touchdowns, limiting the time of possession for the Browns.

To improve the stat, the Cleveland Browns plan to knee the ball on every possession next week, avoiding incomplete passes that stop the clock and limit their time on offense. Brady Quinn's rush yardage is expected to take a major hit but Quinn is a team player and will do whatever plays are called for him. However, the Browns will only get this opportunity if Cribbs doesn't return punts and kickoffs for touchdowns.
