You’re the crowd that keeps him deluded, kept him from fixing his playing style in college

Oh really? How do you fix a Heisman Trophy college quarterback's style while he's winning in college?

Who's going to fix a college kid other than the college coach he's playing for ?

Nobody keeps Tebow deluded, it's his own belief in himself and his Faith.........

If he doesn't make it in the NFL at least it won't be due to giving up and listening to the voices of folks like you............

Teach him to actually throw a decent spiral. Teach him to actually read a defense pre-snap. It’s not like the flaws in his game were some great mystery, every scout discussed it, but Tim had his crowd of worshipers around him saying “don’t listen to them, you’re winning games, they just hate you”. Some people don’t understand that you can criticize somebody and not hate them. Even with all his success I’m sure his high school and college coaches would have enjoyed coaching him more if somebody other than God knew where his passes were going to land. He was really good at the college level on pure athleticism, he could have been great if he’d have learned some basic QB skills, he’d be in the NFL right now if he had.

Belief in yourself has to be tempered by reality. And reality is Tim lacks the core physical and mental skills. He’s a lot like those folks in the first couple of episodes of American Idol every season, the folks who think they’re great, they believe in themselves, they’ve got faith, but the reality is they can’t carry a tune in a bucket.

He hasn’t made it in the NFL. And it’s because he listened to people like you. He never bothered to develop the basic skills. He’s unwilling to settle for something lower than the top rung of the ladder. If he’d have actually taken some criticism he could have addressed the problems. He could have been Trent Dilfer, a guys who is still to this day very upfront about the fact that he was never that great a QB, but he put in the study time, and he worked his skills, and he had a career, and he’s considered the worst QB to ever win a Super Bowl but he won it. But instead Tim only listened to his cheer squad, and so he came out Matt Leinart, just another Heisman winner without the talent or will to make it in the NFL.

I notice you capitalized “faith.” Tell me something.
If Tebow were an atheist, would you still be going on about his greatness?
