That also means his 16 carries from opponents' 11- through 19-yard lines are three more than any quarterback had in the entire red zone (from the 20-yard line in).

Keep in mind that Newton’s 39 red-zone carries were triple the amount of the next closest quarterback in 2011 (Tebow, who had 13). It's easy to see why Jason Lisk of Big Lead Sports wrote that the New York Jets should consider going for two in most situations this season. Tebow was also 2-for-2 at running on two-point conversions in 2011, so you could think of his goal-line running numbers as 12-for-14 (85.7 percent) if you really wanted to. That play should be discarded from the stats. That is 76.9 percent, which nearly doubles Newton's rate.Īnd one of Tebow's "failures" was a two-yard loss against Minnesota last year when he simply fell on the ball to set up the winning field goal. When adding his 2010 season and last year’s playoffs, Tebow is 10-for-13 at scoring touchdowns on runs from inside the 10. Meanwhile, Tim Tebow was 4-of-7 (57.1 percent) in the same situation, which makes you wonder why he did not run more often when he was deep in the red zone. That is a touchdown rate of 39.1 percent. Cam Newton had nine rushing touchdowns on 23 carries from inside his opponents' 10-yard lines. The story is also similar to what actually happened in the NFL last season. Yes, Cam knocked down more bottles and won more prizes, but at what cost? He had to spend a dollar more than Tim and needed five more throws just to hit one more bottle. The preceding story was a lighthearted look at volume versus efficiency. The couples go their own way for the rest of the night.Ĭam leaves his prizes in the trunk as he spends the night, while Tim carries the giant teddy bear into his girlfriend’s room before leaving abruptly. He also wins a big prize.įor some reason, Cam decides to spend another dollar, and he ends up knocking down two more bottles for another prize.Īfter Cam finally gets his fill, the final count is Tim knocking down six bottles on four throws to Cam knocking down seven bottles on nine throws. After using all three balls, he finally knocks down all the milk bottles. Not to be outdone and embarrassed in front of his date, Cam had to redeem himself. Saving the rest of his dollars for church envelopes, Tim reached his goal for the night. He wins the ultimate prize (think Google’s first image result for “huge stuffed animal”). This time he knocks down all the bottles with one thunderous heave. Tim is a charitable guy, so he decides to give it another shot. His first two throws do no harm to the bottles, but he finally takes down two of the bottles with his last throw. After an eternity, his throw misses the entire stool by three yards.īut on his second throw, he takes down two of the bottles, and he cleans up the last with his third throw. After the girls spot some ridiculously oversized stuffed animal they just had to have, the group decides to play a game of throwing balls at a pyramid of milk bottles on a stool.Īfter paying a dollar for three balls, Tim winds up his first throw.
