Yes, and because I'm always fair about everything I'll be the first to say that Tebow was a great college QB, especially in Urban Myers' Florida offense. But to tell you the truth, I'm more impressed with his performance at Denver than I was at Florida.

Why, you ask?

Because obviously someone did what coach Myer didn't do for him at Florida, sat him down and explained to him the difference between a heartfelt prayer on the sideline and a fit of screaming rage at his own teammates, or taunting players on opposing teams, and what the possible result could be in the NFL.

Along with that, Denver won more games with him at QB that I thought they would. Fair is fair.

My opinion is that his style of play for a QB in the NFL is not exactly a healthy thing, not for him nor his team, who needs consistency at the QB position. I wonder what John Elway thinks.

I'm also weary of the "Tim Tebow is the only Christian who has ever played football and that's why God loves him more than anyone else in the stadium" hype, which makes it difficult to separate the hype from the guy's value to his team. I've never heard Tebow object to the hype either, which he should have done sometime before someoneoranother called him "God's quarterback."

And since I'm always fair all the time, I'll say that I wish him the best if he goes to the Jets. If he can succeed as a witness to The Lord's word in that town he'll be doing some good, even if he's on the bench.

How's that? :)

Tedow never said anything about himself in elevated “God” position. He did say many times God doesn’t care you wins a football game. TT only prayers were for the safety of the team and that he would Glorify God in his attitude.
Whatever team TT plays for that is what his prayer and attitude will be.
Now, Manning is one good hit from permanent paraplegic status.
Denver made a huge mistake, fueled by Elways loathing of TT.
