Good God, did he see the same game as I did? Tebow throwing "accurate missles"? Really? Maybe a few, but I saw enough over throws and one of his TD passes was a Tebow trademark wounded duck.

He threw it left-handed, so that could have been Tim Tebow playing quarterback for the Eagles Thursday night against the Jets at MetLife Stadium.
But this guy wearing No. 11 wasn’t winding up and throwing ducks, so that couldn’t possibly have been Tim Tebow.
Except that was indeed Tim Tebow.
By God, Tim Tebow (11 of 17, 189 yards, two TDs, 32 rushing yards) looked more like an NFL quarterback than he ever did with the Broncos and, of course, with the Jets.
Tim Terrific!
Tebowmania is back, and good for him.
This Tim Tebow threw accurate missiles, one of which became an 18-yard TD pass to Rasheed Bailey at the end of the first half against Dexter McDougle. Tebow jumped to celebrate with Eagles guard Julian Vandervelde before greeting his teammates in the end zone.
“Just gave him a shot, and Rasheed makes a lot of plays,” Tebow said.
Tebow began the drive from his 15 with 1:49 left before intermission, and ignited it when he escaped the clutches of sack-crazed linebacker Trevor Reilly, reminding us he is a 245-pound raging bull, and scrambled for 17 yards.
Then he threw a dart in the right flat to running back Raheem Mostert for 28 yards down the Jets’ sideline. He threw over the middle to Quron Pratt for 23 yards, then displayed smarts by throwing the ball out of bounds under duress. Even when Deion Barnes sacked him on the next play, Tebow was up clapping as if to tell his teammates, “We’re good, we’re good, I got this.” The TD pass came on the next play.
This was the night Tim Tebow barged back into the NFL.
“That’s not up to me,” Tebow said after Jets 24, Eagles 18. “I just try to go out there and do what I’m coached and try to improve every day and compete. Obviously, every time you step out there you want to win. That’s the goal, when they keep score, you want to win. We were trying to get back in that thing and win.”
He didn’t look like anybody’s publicity stunt, didn’t look like anybody’s gimmick, anybody’s Wildcat. A noncommittal Chip Kelly is choosing between Tebow and Matt Barkley as his No. 3 quarterback behind Sam Bradford and Mark Sanchez, but Tebow has to be the Chosen One now.
“I think I’m getting more and more comfortable with the offense, getting into more of a rhythm,” Tebow said.
Tebow entered early in the second quarter, after Barkley had been intercepted by Darrin Walls. He curiously didn’t attempt a pass first-and-goal from the 4 following a Jaylen Watkins interception of a telegraphed Matt Flynn pass in the left flat, and Kelly kicked the field goal.
Barkley and Tebow alternated in the second half. Tebow returned early in the fourth quarter and promptly lofted a 45-yard bomb down the middle to Freddie Martino.
Tebow’s otherworldly performance came to a screeching halt when he tried to force a fourth-and-16 pass from the Jets 22 to Pratt and had it intercepted by Walls.
“I’m not kicking myself at all really,” Tebow said. “It’s fourth down-and-long, you’re forcing that in there, so…”
And here is how he responded: Fourth-and-6 at the Jets 9, Tebow evaded a blitz by McDougle, scrambled around left end and decided on a jump pass to Martino, who kept both feet in bounds fully extended at the side of the end zone.
“One of their nickels came free so I just tried to make him miss, get outside, and I was gonna run for it and the corner came up and so then I was kind of in-between, and then Freddie kind of did a good job of staying on the outside and making a play,” Tebow said.
I asked him why he is throwing the ball much better now than in the past.
“Just trying to put in work, and blessed to have great coaches,” he said.
Tebow was asked if he would be anxious over the next 48 hours. He referenced the Bible.
“If He says be anxious of nothing, I’ll try to do that,” Tebow said, and smiled.
