I’m just going by what you said. Everything else is just running a simple logical syllogism. If you don’t pay attention to what goes on in the NFL (your words) then you don’t hear the discussions about other QBs specifically their mechanics.

If you want to look at the overabundance of evidence in the media pay attention to what they’re saying about people not named Tebow. Look up Jay Cutler, they brutalize Cutler, he can do no right, he’s too emotional, he’s not emotional enough, he plays when he’s too hurt and damages the team, he doesn’t play with pain. The guy can do no right, he could rescue kittens from a burning building and the sports press would tell him he did it wrong. Wanna see discussions of mechanics look up Byron Leftwich. Look up stuff from early this season on Peyton Manning when they were still not sure he should be back. Look up any time Jaws discusses any QB, he only talks about mechanics and reading defenses.

One more time and I'm done. My point was never that other players don't get rough treatment from the sports media or the fantasy football crowd, as you are implying.

My point is an unusual number of journalists, and certain other commentators, seem to delight criticizing the guy all out of proportion to his flaws as a player.

Thats not worshiping Tim Tebow, its acknowledging reality.

My personal opinion is its not directed so much at the player as it is those who admire him. Some kinda weird passive agressive thing.
