I live in Missouri and followed the Rams when Kurt Warner was their QB. There was nobody more devout in his Christian faith and more willing to thank God and credit Him for his successes than Warner was. He and his wife were known throughout the state for their devotion to God and to their family. Warner was just as public in his faith as Tebow is in his. The difference is that Warner was a quarterback, and a very good quarterback at that. He could play the position as few others could. He was a winner both on and off the field. Tebow is not. Tebow is a good man and a good Christian who is badly miscast in the role of an NFL quarterback. That is why Tebow is out of the NFL and why Warner had a long and possibly Hall-Of-Fame career. It has nothing to do with faith and everything to do with talent and skill.
I agree about Warner being a better qb but I think that anti christian bigotry has become much more accepted since then.

The only bigotry I have seen from the NFL in regards to Tebow is one against inaccurate passing, slow releases and bad reads. I heard that Hell is you are a receiver going across the middle with Jack Tatum and Ronnie Lott waiting, and Tebow is your quarterback, repeated over and over. Oh the pain.

Anti Christian bigotry has nothing to do with Tebow. These teams are running a business. Tebow can not get the job done as a QB. His passing is horrible.
There have been many great college players that did not make it in the NFL. Also, many great NFL players did not start out in the position which they are famous for playing. Some did not even start playing football. He could be a great tight end or full back.
