I think Tebow's best throw was on the game winning one. The earlier bombs were some ugly looking ducks. He must have incredible arm strength to get a throw like that out there so far, but the one in OT was as nice as throw as any I had seen.
As for Saints/Niners, if the 49ers D can get enough pressure on Brees that there isn't time for the deeper routes to get set up then the 49ers can win.
What the defence has done is a) stop the run b) get pressure on the QB to speed up the throw and c) get the short route receiver down in a hurry. This is working well this year because with Navarro Bowman and Patrick Willis being so crazy fast and intelligent they can get up in a hurry to plug holes and that has given the d-line and OLB lots of opportunity to get after the QB. And that has allowed the corners to play tighter coverage which is where the INTs have come from.
If the Saints can keep a clean pocket they should win. If it turns into a field possession game the 49ers will win.
C'mon lots of that crazy Candlestick wind!
