Well, I'm not sure exactly what one has to do with the other, but 'roun these parts the ones that thump their bible and pay less taxes tend to live the longest.  Not sure what toting a gun has to do with it. 
Your personal anecdotal observations don't negate a huge study, sorry.

Very red states tend to have a certain world view shaped by a certain ideology and are poorer and thus less healthy.  And I noted that while not technically related, in actuality they walk hand-in-hand for whatever reason.

Didn't Tebow have a huge role in 05, even though Leak was the "starter"?
In 06, he did, but didn't start.  Wasn't "the guy."

You're acting butthurt for no good reason.  This is about expectations and idiots who set the bar too high, not about poor play.  Even you shit on his play, and while far from great, he's not an awful player.  What QB would have thrived vs the pressure Florida was putting on him?
Hell, a 155 pass rating would lead the country 25 years ago. 
The OL, while getting justifiably criticized, didn't have the sky-high expectations to fall from as Manning is.  THAT is the point. 
What are you talking about?  You're the one who's butthurt about what some dumbass mediot like Finebaum said about Arch Manning, and how he dared disparage your hero by making a comparison.  You're the one going on about it.

It was obviously a premature comparison and nobody with any sense at all bothered listening to it.  That you feel the need to defend the blessed Tebow's honor over 15 years after he played is weird, but have at it.

Arch Manning has been terrible all season long and it has nothing to do with pressure.  He had almost zero pressure on him in games against crappy teams like San Jose State and UTEP yet he was still throwing balls into the dirt at the feet of wide open receivers, or overthrowing those same wide open receivers by 10 yards.  He's a very shitty QB right now and, perhaps, forever.

No idea.  I've never listened to a minute of his radio show nor watched a minute of his TV show.  I only see him referenced by other people, quotes from twitter or clips from youtube or whatever, from people who should know better than to bother paying attention.

I posted it because Manning is on the big homepage on EPSN.com.  Gee, I thought we could post whatever we wanted, within reason. 
I was dead wrong.

Feinbaum of course had a radio show where callers could voice their, um, opinions, and somehow it caught on, perhaps in part because he's so goofy looking to be talking CFB.  Is he a dope?  I doubt it, he has his schtick, and he's probably done well financially.  Is he some football guru?  Not that I've noticed, but I pay him little heed.  He's a kind of foil to Kirk et al.

It's a criticism of whoever made the comparison, like Finebaum.  Chill.
Finebaum??? Don't give a F

I think the Mets were paying Bobby Bonilla a large sum each year until about now.  The Dodgers will be paying Shohei a lot after he retires as well.

Which former coaches are still being paid to not coach?

this list has all their buyouts listed too. 

https://sportsdata.usatoday.com/ncaa/salaries/football/coach

Kirby Smart buyout is $115 milly. Sheesh. Ryan Day second highest at almost $71 mil. 

Dabo, Kalen DaBoer, & Sark all a little over $60 mil. Norvell at FSU just south of $60 mil. Frames Janklin and Purple Face at LSU $50 mil. 

Michigan gets off easy if they want to dump Sherrone- only $13 milly. seems like a bargain with what these buyouts are.
