so Sondy Im curious, why do you like Tebow?? Because he wins, he's a good guy, etc, etc?? I believe you've said you're an atheist so Im just curious.
...and i love how Tebow serves HUGE plates of crow to his doubters every week. It might not be pretty, but he (they) are 5-1 with him. Sondra, you ever watch "Sportsnation" on ESPN? Colin Cowherd and Michele Beadle are a riot, so in love with Beads!!!
Did ya see how excited Elway got when Timmy threw that long TD pass?
The early game today was really good, Bills vs Jets.
Tonight we have Pitt vs Chiefs
MNF might also be a good one: Saints vs Giants

I like this kid.
They aren't really playin' a College-game. They're managing to tie-up the Defense on MANY occasions and provide an opportunity for the Backs/Q-back to advance the ball.
And, they've done that against virtually everyone they've played: Win or Lose.
I'm jus' observing.

@ ATK, as far as the college offense you are right it will get shut down eventually. Which is why Fox would be a complete idiot to continue to run it for every single game IN THE LONG RUN. Tebow needs time to work with his offense(he has had one full season as a starter [17 games]) and as they win they and he will get more confident. As their confidence grows they can start to mix things up, but for right now they need to focus on winning however they can do it.
@ Sondy, Im not saying atheists cant be good people...I was just curious as to why you liked him. I like him because of his belief and he's a great player and role model (like Canard and Dungey). I personally didnt like Tebow in college because im a UGA fan and UGA and UF dont get along too well.
the whole "he's such a nice guy" line is a bunch of bull hahahahaha! chic's will put up with anything if a guy is good looking. after all, chic's dig assholes right?
i would think that most girls would love the opportunity to date tebow for the simple reason of seeing how far they could push things before getting the guy to finally snap and break character. nice guys get walked on. im generalizing here but i think its safe to say that girls get bored if shits too good all the time.
all kidding aside, i keep waiting for the tebow fad to just fade away, and the pesky bastard just keeps on trucking. it really is pathetic that everyone keeps losing to him. these teams should be embarrassed. here's my take on things (and this is me taking my raider cap off for a brief moment and being honest and rational)...
- what tebow is doing is unbelievable. if he isnt the leading candidate for MVP, i dont know who should be.
the MVP can be described three different ways,
(a) the most dominant player. the first pick in a fantasy draft if you were to start the league over and have a player for one season and/or the guy you'd pay the most money, as in, ''most valuable''. haynesworth should have gotten it a few years back when he was with tennessee. but the guy that fits that bill now... (that would be either aaron rogers or calvin johnson right now. no two more dominant players than these two at the moment),
(b) the best player on the best team (again, rogers wins here),
or (c) the guy who means the most to his team winning. a few years back the titans were winless after 8 games, in comes vince young, they win 8 straight. he should have gotten serious consideration. as for this years front-runner, the packers would still be winning games without rogers. they are a talented team. whereas the donkeys have turned completely around from sure-fire suck-for-luck contestants to winners of what, 5 of 6 with tebow?
- he is doing this without the support of the front office. elway put him in to get andrew luck. and it has backfired miserably. elway may have been a "gunslinger" type qb. but gunslingers, despite their mobility, are still considered traditional qb's. elway wants either a prototypical pocket qb or a gunslinger, he doesnt want a 21st century qb of the mold of randal cunningham/rich gannon/fran tarkenton/mike vick. unlike in his playing days, elway the front-officeman, like most of the nfl, is traditional and conservative. the "21st century" hyper mobile qb has never worked to the point of winning a superbowl.
....then again, has it ever been given a fair shot? i would say no. not until now.
and unlike the 3-4 defense, which is hard to learn, and difficult to find personnel for due to the fact that most colleges dont teach it, this offense the bronco's are running is easy to build around because plenty of colleges use it.
and imo, the qb is a overrated position. yes, its the most difficult in sports. but you can win superbowls with a qb that is a leader, doesnt turn the ball over, and is a student of the game. that is all that is required of a sb winning caliber qb. the actual players that win superbowls are in the trenches.
- and speaking of the 3-4 defense. most top teams use it today. and how do you beat the 3-4? power football. the donkeys should scare people.
- running the football and playing defense wins championships. that is fact. im not gonna elaborate on that point anymore that by simply stating it. cause it needs to be said and too often it is forgotten due to the nfl's love affair with the passing game. no matter how much they fuck the rules up, its still football.
- because they run the ball so much, their defense is always rested. and the other team's offense never finds a rythm. a shitty defense like denver's is playing above their heads because of this advantage. seemingly minor advantages like this can equal big differences in the outcomes of games.
- pundits need to stop questioning the injury risk factor. any qb can get hurt. any running back can get hurt. i see no one questioning the vikings building a team around the stellar adrian peterson. so why should they question a team being built around a physical qb? tebow is bigger than most rb's and probably less likely to get hurt. there is no extra inherent risk to his style of play with relation to his position when compared to a team built around a top running back.
- he's a second year qb. mechanics dont mean shit at this stage. mark sanchez has good mechanics....but it doesnt mean a whole hell of a lot because the position is so hard to learn. im tired of quality young qb's being judged too severely before their 4th and 5th seasons. it takes time. tebow might learn to pass. hell, his stats trump elway's when compared at equal stages of their career. someone above brought up steve young, well done, enough said.
- tebow has made that team/locker room feel like college again. for many pro's, who miss the college atmosphere, this is a welcome change to them. and part of what is bringing out the best in what is a pretty poor team in the raw talent department. unity goes a long way in sports.
- the fans in denver have to be patting themselves on the back. they wanted tebow. they got him. and he has delivered and made the donkey brass and coaching staff look like idiots. its not often the mob gets their way AND gets it right.
all that said, i'd like to see tebow drop the act. i get it that he is in love with his religion. fine. ok. whatever. i simply just dont care. spare us the agenda. its a major distraction, and keeps most from seeing what a remarkable athlete he is. i guess the argument could be made that if people are distracted and put off by it, that its their problem and they are simply projecting. possibly. but it'd be a whole lot easier to mind our business if he didnt make his religion our business. i dont need to be reminded of it every damn time he speaks. muslim players have been black-balled from the nba for much less.
if any of us cared about religion, we'd be doing that with our sundays instead of watching tv.
the other cause of the backlash that he receives seems to come as a result of his fan-base. much the same way that the bubba fans created a lot of the bubba hate you see in the moto section.
but tebow, and his fans, simply dont care what you or i think. he's gonna do his thing whether we like it or not. thats part of the beauty of his whole outlook on everything. he just doesnt give a fuck what the naysayers think. which is why i find it so hypocritical that he pushes his religious agenda so hard.
too many people cant wait to see this guy fail, and they do this for all the wrong reasons. the wildcat was celebrated as a breath of fresh air. whereas the media has an agenda with tebow. and any media with a agenda, has lost its integrity. plus. creating a lighting rod simply for the novelty of it is just plain lame.
(raider cap back on)
regardless, shebow has his donkeys applying the pressure to my team. and i dont like it one bit.
on the other hand, boy have i missed having the bronco's to hate. as a kid, shottenheimer and the chiefs were numero uno on my hate list. and when shannahan was with denver boy did i love to hate them. and shottenheimers chargers were fun to throw things at at the games. but lately, its hard to really truly hate norv turner's chargers or todd haley's chiefs. they have no personality (with exception to philip rivers). tebow has brought back the raider v donkey feud. he's given them a figure head for me to direct spite. orton just didnt cut it. i kinda hope we get another opportunity to play the donk's this year. if they get the wildcard (which is conceivable), we could host them. man would i love the chance to beat them in the playoffs.

my apologies for my having guessed wrong.
it wasnt a unfair assumption on my part was it? most people either like or dislike the guy for all the wrong reasons, no? very few up until lately have actually taken notice of what a good football player he is.
