I’m personally convinced that much of the animosity toward Tebow is religion related.
It CANNOT be about his football skills. He’s one of the most successful college quarterbacks ever.
Moreover, he is totally unique in my memory in this regard:
He led what was a losing team to the playoffs, won his first playoff game, and then spent the following year totally unused.
In my mind, it’s impossible to say that Tebow is not an NFL caliber quarterback because the one time he had a chance to play, he succeeded all the way to the 2nd round of the post-season.
That is not true of Andy Dalton, RGBIII, and Andy Luck. It’s not true of Tony Romo.
My sense is that he should get a chance.
Agree. I find the NFL’s (with the libtard press) treatment of Tebow comparable to the GOPe’s treatment of Sarah Palin. Very similar.
Yes, the problem is his football skills. He doesn't have the fundamentals to be a good NFL caliber quarterback.
Lots of top flight college QB's can't cut it in the NFL. That is rather normal.
Look xzins, an NFL franchise will hire virtually anyone if they think it would help them win. They are most certainly not anti-Christian. There are lots of Christians in the league and they manage to do just fine. Tebow's problem is he isn't good enough to be a starting NFL QB, and he is too outspoken and too much of a media draw to quietly sit in the background as a 2nd or 3rd stringer. As long as he remains in the spotlight, Tebow's going to always be a fan favorite amongst many Christians - and because of that teams will always see Tebow as a QB controversy waiting to happen.
A lot of the anti-Tebow people are also anti-Palin, just coincidence I suppose.
Tebow thread, Palin thread, there are some similarities.
Being successful in college doesn’t mean much once you start getting paid. Your employer wants you to be successful for them.
A lot played into an 8-8 Broncos getting to the playoffs last year. Not the least of which being the defense shaving 15 points off their average allowed, and playing in a division that could be won at 8-8.
He’s gotten chances. He’ll probably get one more. But apparently not in Jax. There’s still a few teams out there desperate enough for any hint of success they might give him a shot. KC, Miami, Buffalo, Cleveland. And maybe he’ll improve.
