Tim Tebow's season is over
I have been watching sports for my entire 44 years of living and have never seen an athlete get scrutinized the way Tebow gets it. All he did was take a 1-4 struggling team to a Division Title, a first round playoff victory over the vaunted Pittsburgh Steelers and their #1 rated defense before getting hammered by some team named New England Patriots with a Tom Brady driving the bus like never before. I know what Tebow stands for off the field because he talks it and WALKS it. His faith and belief in the man upstairs, considering all of his mission works today, might not be matched by any athlete to date and he is 25 yrs old.
No doubt last night THE BRONCOS took it on the chin, cheek, temple, nose, eye, lip, gut, groin and pinky toe. Elway is not coming down out of the Armami Suit to play QB and between Elway and Tebow what has the Broncos Done. Take the first round draft pick and get a quality receiver then find a couple of Big Uglies to help block. Sign a backup to help mentor him like a Dovovan McNabb and see what you got. But quit talking about kicking him to the curve. If he led them to the success they had this year without the 110% support the Broncos Brass what could he do if could stop looking over his shoulder.
Re: Tim Tebow's season is over
I agree.......No other QB has been under such scrutiny without starting a full season. He has thousands of people attacking him for his beliefs and I'm not sure why? Do they feel guilty that they are not as committed? I hope he does get some help next year with blocking and a top pick receiver. Heck a healthy stud RB would be great!
Re: Tim Tebow's season is over
When one stands up for Jesus and their Christian beliefs they are under attack in America these days. You folks have allowed all the other religions to have the power and it has come back to haunt you now. This player is a true inspirition to us all. I admire him greatly for speaking out about his beliefs and hope others will too. Good for you Mr Tebow.
Re: Tim Tebow's season is over
The pregame show about how he has some special needs folks at the games with him or his hospital visits really touched our hearts. A few of those eyes had tears in them. Not saying who......:p
Re: Tim Tebow's season is over
Has to be my highlight of the year player to watch for sure. Don't remember a season when I have watched as many NFL Football games from start to finish as I made it a point to watch the Bronco's. Have you seen his commercial? Saw it for the first time today. Power drink of some sort I think. Takes a nice shot at critics. If I remember correctly.
Re: Tim Tebow's season is over
I think a lot of people need to grow a sense of humor re: Tim Tebow. Lest you forget, the man has a huge fan club, and there was the whole "Tebowing" fad, where people took pictures of themselves in his characteristic pose in various settings, which was not done to denigrate the guy, but was actually a sign of RESPECT. A lot of people seem to be miffed about supposed "attacks" on him, but I think the real criticism has been minimal. What there HAS been is him becoming a media sensation, which suddenly everybody is talking about, so of course comedians are making jokes about him. And the man can't seem to speak two sentences without proclaiming his devotion to Jesus, so of course that's going to become part of the jokes. I'm sorry, Christians, but that's life, and some of the jokes are funny, so deal with it. It's not an attack on his religion, or yours, it's just poking fun at his constant proclamations ABOUT his religion. You have to understand, when he walks off the field after beating the Steelers and says, "First and foremost I’ve got to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and my teammates," that sounds to a lot of people like he's thanking Jesus for the win, and believes that Jesus is a football fan and causes one team to win and another to lose. I know that's a misinterpretation of what he's saying, but it does SOUND like that, especially given that fact that he mentions Jesus and his teammates in the same sentence, as if they're on the same level. So I'm sorry, but the rest of us heathens, who like me haven't bought into John 3:16, are going to make jokes about him. We don't mean any harm. If anything, I respect the guy for sticking to what he believes.
Re: Tim Tebow's season is over
When are people going to accept the fact that the guy is just not a good quarterback? He ranked 27th in the league statistically. His quarterback ranking is in the bottom of the league among starters and two rookies were much better than him. Too many people have trouble separating the football side from the real man side. Tebow is a great human being,but a bad quarterback. It's not that hard to understand.

I have heard hours of talking heads beat this guy into the ground with stats. He was tossed into a situation where a team had a losing record with no hope of winning many games....they sukked! He gets them winning and to the playoffs. That I understand.:) I like the guy.
I don't think he will ever be a Manning, Brady or Rogers but I think he will emerge as a very good QB when he finds a home....Denver ain't it.
Re: Tim Tebow's season is over
I think in three years he will be out of the league. He was only in the playoffs because they are in a bad division. The AFC West was so bad that nobody wanted to win it.
Let me ask you this Don. Who is he better than? Would you rather have him over Dalton or Cam Newton?

Never seen stats win a ball game. Arron Rogers and Drew Brees had great stats yet they got sent home just like Tebow.

Based on what Cam did I think I would take Cam. Cam has speed, height and the makings of being one of the better QB's in the league. Tebow has alot of things left to prove and Cam has already proven he can hang. I hope tebow is around for more than three years.
Not giving up on Tebow. He has always been told he couldn't and finds a way to win. His story ain't over yet.

Your right, stats don't tell the whole story, does MVP's and Super Bowl rings count? The only thing Tebow has in common with Rodgers and Brees is that he also is in the NFL. :rolleyes:
