He's unique, longbow, in that he HAS SUCCEEDED as an NFL quarterback, and THEN he was no longer permitted to participate.

And yet Denver didn't want him. Even on a winning streak the Bronco's organization was plainly lukewarm about him.

Are you trying to tell me you are smarter than all the NFL franchise's scouts, coaches, GM's, etc? For the most part, they DO NOT want Tim Tebow. He will very likely be OUT of the NFL next season. It is NOT because all of these teams are anti-Christian. There are LOTS of Christians in the league doing exceptionally well.

Sometimes circumstances line up where mediocre players have a successful winning streak, that does not make them anything beyond the mediocre player that they are.

Maybe Tebow will finally accept that he isn't a starting caliber QB in the NFL. If that happens he could pursue a 3rd string/TE/multi-role type position. He could potentially be valuable in such a role. But that would be more of a backup position and as such he'd have to stay out of the spotlight and avoid doing things that attract media attention.

I must be pretty smart because these same people went to TEBOW when they needed a quarterback, and he took them to the playoffs by turning around a losing team.

Now, is Payton Manning the reason they dumped Tebow? Well....yeah.

But, there are very few teams who’d be sane if they didn’t start Manning....Patriots, Packers...it’s not a long list.

But, being replaced by Manning is not a sign there’s anything wrong with Tebow.

So, back to your question about me versus their coaches/scouts/etc.

They’re the ones who scouted, drafted, and played Tebow.

I’d say that they’re the ones supporting MY position.

And if any of the people opining about how Tebow is getting screwed had actually bothered to watch any of his games with Denver they would have seen Tebow's passes hitting the ground well before they reached WRs or sailing way over their heads.

How many other QBs currently in the league have a career completion percentage of LESS than 50%?!?!

Compare the amount of pass attempts Tebow had while a starter versus how many attempts QBs on other teams made. It is undeniable Denver deliberately limited how many times they wanted Tebow to throw.

Finally, the Pittsburgh playoff victory happened because Pittsburgh so thoroughly disrespected his abilities & Tebow burned them with the long TD pass in OT, taking advantage of the lack of coverage.
