I live in colorado Springs and the gazette is a complete piece of trash. they cant give it away and its slowly going out of business.
316 yards and John 3:16
Those pesky coincidences...
Kind of makes me think of quarterbacks like Billy Kilmer, Bobby Lane, Joe Capp and some others who were not great passers. They did nothing much but win. They were leaders who got the most out of their talent and than players around them.
Most of the folks quoted in this article are on the fringes of the sports media. Heck, anyone can write for Bleacher Report.
Most of the "top shelf" pundits are behind Tebow--Dilfer, Deon Sanders, Michael Irvin, Berman, Eisen, etc. Even Hoge seems to be coming around. It was also nice to see Stephen A. Smith eat crow, although he still doubts if TT can become a consistent performer.
To be honest, I don’t think all of the Tebow bashing is because he’s a Christian. I think a lot of the people are just sick of hearing about him (you can’t listen to ESPN for 10 minutes without hearing his name). AND, on some days, he’s awful, and looks like he has no idea how to throw the ball.
That being said, he can also be fantastic. He made some great throws in the Pittsburgh game, and quite frankly its fun to watch him. And it is nice watching a lot of loudmouth sportswriters chew on crow.
In the case of Mr. D.J. Gallo, “ESPN columnist”, hiding in his mom’s basement for a while won’t do him any good.
He needs to find a different line of work. He is a TERRIBLE writer.
And then there is Tim Tebow - the most controversial NFL player ever! Wow, there really are no journalist left in the world.
...and yet, as starting quarterback for the Broncos, he did, defying all expectations, throw for 316 yards, including the 80 yard game winner, and did beat the best defense in pro-football, the Pittburg Steelers in overtime.
Whatever else happens, Tebow has proven his worth to the Denver Broncos.
Tebow should have shut these jokers up with his performance against Pittsburgh. His positive, hard-working, and cheerful attitude have produced a body which is strong and athletic and a mind which inspires his teammates. You can teach passing, but you can’t turn a Matt Leinart into a hulk like Tebow.
This same squad of geniuses all said that Drew Brees (while he was with the Chargers) lacked the skill set to be an NFL quarterback.
While watching the game on Sunday, I actually turned to Mrs. kevkrom at one point and said, “you know, except for the designed running plays, this guy reminds me a lot of Ben Rothlesburger during his rookie season”. There are a lot of difference, for sure, but both of them just carried this supreme confidence and drive despite a lack of pro experience or perfected skills, and more importantly, both were capable of extending plays long enough to find open receivers.
Great guy?
Absolutely.
Great winning streak?
Absolutely.
NFL level quarterback skills?
I still can’t see them.
yet he plays on
Never was much of a football fan. Guess I need to change and start supporting this guy.
People of faith need to stick together.
LOL. Tebow already plays better than Hoge ever did. Hey Merrill, in 8 years how many playoff games did you win as starting QB?
Leaving his religion aside, Tebow is clearly not a horrible QB. He is also not a pro-bowl caliber QB.
Yet.
This is what happens to reporters when they accept the conventional wisdom instead of thinking for themselves. Tebow doesn’t suck, he’s just different. Tebow might not be the prototypical QB, but neither was Kenny Stabler, Doug Flutie, or Michael Vick. They all won, though.
I have not heard so much talk about a white Bronco since the OJ trial....
Religion aside Tebow is clearly a winner. He brings a positive attitude and can do spirit that filters down to the entire team. THAT’S what a quarterback is supposed to be.
