Quick reaction is and it felt great former superstar quarterback Cincinnati Bengals Arizona Cardinals and -- team.

The New York Jets I -- president cohost of the NFL today on CBS.

And the boomer and carton radio show on WFAN which -- -- will cast on amnesty.

Mike how -- sounds great to get Monica thanks so I haven't experienced in Italy in a few couple of not minutes you're you're gonna teach me how to -- -- -- well well it might not be pretty but we're gonna trot.

-- let's without Tim Tebow and I want to start from the perspective of Tebow as a football player before we get into the controversy right has when he came up this season.

There was a lot of talk of his skills whether or not he'd be able to hack it as a starting quarterback his performance -- especially of the last six or seven weeks have been quite extraordinary.

What do you think of him as a player.

Well it to Begin the season I was one of his harshest critics said that he couldn't throw so therefore -- couldn't play him.

He has proven me wrong -- will say that.

I will also say that he has there's a lot of room for improvement on the field is only completing about 46% of his passes.

He struggles in that area anybody who watches the game can see that.

He's is inaccurate and this week he ran into a competitive quarterback by the name of Tom Brady that wasn't gonna let the game get away from him and I think you saw.

What a -- hall of fame quarterback can do when that when the game is on the line and he wants to take the momentum back and that's what Brady and his team did for the Broncos but.

I I have to say that it's the most fascinating story in the NFL for all the different reasons.

I you I think I also said that I'd love to have Tim as my son in law I just would want on that be -- starting quarterback.

Gotta spell because I felt -- he needs to improve thrown a ball in the NFL as a passing league.

And that's why I'm here to teach you how to pass catch it we're gonna do in a -- only is a great -- and you know he's arrived.

When you have a parity -- you on SNL.

When you've sold out your entire Jersey allotment on nfl.com.

And you gave us at CBS in nineteen point five rating this past Sunday which was our highest for fifteen radius of the year.

So he is he's popular.

And I also think there's a lot of criticism.

Thrown towards him because we live in a cynical society that we can't believe that a kid can be this pristine and this good in this honest about his faith and I.

-- for once it -- the way he wants to live his life are more power -- I don't get all the controversy about him I you've you've been a professional athlete -- professional athletes all the time.

Praising the lord praying I'm sure you sought on the field to what you think he's things.

Well you know he wears and honestly no I I've played with the number of players who are very Christian oriented they had Bible study during the week but they weren't quite as open as -- -- -- even.

Kurt Warner who was born again Christian who speaks.

Fervently about his -- his religion but didn't do it quite as openly as as ten dollars and sometimes it just turns people off the wrong way to me.

I get asked to watch him on the football field and I get to assess what he does on the football field.

What he does is pretty amazing he does things that I could never do.

And -- actually lowers his head and tries -- -- people over because -- don't like Peyton Hillis a running back for the Cleveland Browns.

So I I think it's a great story for all of us and I'd much rather be talking about Tim Tebow.

And Sam heard the wide receiver for the Chicago Bears who was arrested on cocaine -- exactly this is a good -- -- about -- -- -- role model and you know what he's winning right now and wasn't winning a few months ago of really big word around here winning and that's exactly what and that's what you're supposed to be doing in the NFL the credit right -- like it -- just embrace that and I was wrong in the beginning.

But I still think that he has a lot of improvement to do.

When it comes to throwing the football Tom Brady Aaron Rodgers Green Bay Packers troop re having quite a season well I Drew Brees to me is the one that is underrated right now under the and I can't believe I'm saying that because he's completing 71% of his passes.

He's gonna break Dan Marino's single season yardage record which is unbelievable and he also you know -- Smart -- for 39 touchdown passes.

So he is having a season for the ages.

And the Green Bay Packers don't.

Get beat by that -- city chiefs there the story.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- New -- -- -- gonna make the playoffs lot of I was gonna ask you because that was a sad display of football on -- and Chris this Eagles for a.

Received it's the jets and the giants.

I like I do like the jets a little bit more than the giants but that's the reason I would lean towards -- giants.

Is that -- the road team in their own buildings that share the building and they're wearing their road uniforms and they're not having to play in front of their negative fans the jets at the -- have been negative.

Our -- what we're gonna blocked shot Mark Sanchez Christmas scene I don't martz insists he's no -- side and he's not yet and I am gonna realignment yet either.

But we're thank you so much -- straight Cynthia thanks don't go anywhere the great American cattle.
