Re: Tim Tebow's season is over
[QUOTE=Netboy Extraordinaire;478159]My initial post was about all the scrutinizing that Tebow takes. Probably because he wears his beliefs on his sleeve, always has and my bet is always will. He is a NFL quarterback that took a struggling team to the playoffs and then led the Broncos over the Steelers in the playoffs. He led the Broncos to a sweep of the AFC West on the road plus numerous 4th quarter on OT comeback wins. Whether he led the team or the played harder because of his influence more than his left arm, either way No Tebow at QB, No playoffs, No victory over Steelers. As good as Brady played, there was no other team in the NFL beating the Patriots on that night, much less the Broncos. Oakland, Kansas City and San Diego all had their shots to beat the Broncos and could not do it when the chips were down. How many other first year starters, started the last 11 games of the regular season inheriting a 1-4 team to the success of the Broncos? NOBODY. How many QB's in recent memory did what Tebow did in taking a team that had not sniffed the playoffs in years to the success of the Broncos this year? If the Broncos leadership put the time and effort in Tebow this off season in reading coverages and then draft him a couple of game changing wide receivers, who knows how good they could be. The rest of the AFC West and their veteran QB's did not get the job done and Tebow most certainly will put in the time to learn and get better.[/QUOTE]
I think some people have a little Christian paranoia and believe that if a sports analyst says Tebow is not good, it means they hate Jesus or something. Not what this is at all. It is just them stating their opinion on him as a player.
Reggie White was a Christin and ordained minister, you know why he wasn't criticized on ESPN and other networks? Because was a great player and a hall of famer. Not a whole lot to criticize there.
My point is Tebow is criticized because of serious flaws in his game, not because he goes to church and prays.
