NFL Films ranked Tim Tebow ahead of Earl Campbell and Marcus Allen in the "Top 10 Heisman Winners in the NFL". This literally makes my blood boil. I am prepared for the downvotes for this but I wanted to share the blasphemy that I just read.

NFL Films rates Tebow ahead of Earl Campbell, Marcus Allen

Jets quarterback rated ahead of three Hall of Famers in list of 'Top 10 Heisman Winners in the NFL.'

In response, NFL films released this statement. Which really, when read, didn't make much sense to me or justify how they came up with the horse---- rank for Tebow and even Cam Newton.

Earl Campbell was the MVP of the NFL in his rookie year. Game. Set. Match.

I am not downvoting you, but why would you post such a general thread title?

I don't see why anyone should get upset about this. Tebow is truly revolutionizing the game by becoming the first ever "Heisman-winner-backup-QB-punt-protector."

Jets would face risk with Tebow in punt protector role | NFL.com

Jets coach Rex Ryan says Tim Tebow is a but is it a wise move to have your backup quarterback running around and making tackles on special teams? This could be happening.

Who passes the mom test?
And then they have OJ Simpson at No. 3.
That's indefensible and they know it. They probably had some junior producer just out of school come up with the list.

Haha. They obviously could care less about their credibility. How embarrassing.
Back in the early 90s, I produced a radio commercial (it was for a benefit for Gulf War veterans) with Earl and Roosevelt Leaks. It was a lot of fun, but they were cutting up so much it took forever to get what I needed for a second second spot....lol.

The explanation just made me more upset. They obviously took the assignment as a joke. Jersey sales? Cultural resonance? Give me a break.

How about the Jet cheerleaders doing the Tebow dance when Sanchez throws a touchdown pass...
