I’ve got to be honest, I’m not sure he’s way off base.
I heard the GM of the Jets on the radio today, and he said outright they traded for him because he’s a good guy who can help the locker room. They have no intent of playing him beyond wildcat formations, and they mostly got him because their locker room is a mess and he’s a good guy.
He said that about 5 or 6 times.
So, it’s difficult then to argue with the premise of the article when the GM of the team says the same thing.
He starts with a plausible premise and puts a nasty bigoted spin on it.
As soon as Mark Sanchez has a bad game, Tebow will be in there...
Well I find this really insulting.

Actually most of those are pretty accurate. And given the stuff we know about the Jets the “insulting” ones are more a slam on NYJ than Christians, they do need a team chaplain/ chaperone, this is the team with a foot fetishist for a coach, one receiver that’s served multiple drug suspensions and another receiver that shot himself accidentally.
No matter the intent of the writers, their sarcasm(?), wherever it was intended to point, only contributes to unenlightened public discourse about persons of faith in public places.
This is the equivalent of the Palins going to the DNC convention. It makes me sick because he is a good guy who is absolutely going to be trashed. But he knows this and maybe he figures it’s his calling to change hearts.
I feel really bad for him and what is coming but have to remember that Jesus went among sinners instead of sitting on a safe little throne. I know we should do the same as best we can. Still...I think they will do everything in their huge power and cruelty to tear him apart so they can be comfortable in their amoral world.
Atheists don’t watch football.
On any team in the league, regardless of the starting QB, I believe a 3rd and 5 - 8 package with Tebow as QB would be interesting
No one. No one is more of a class act in the NFL right now than Tim Tebow! 99% of those men’s men would be crying like babies if they’d endured what he’s put up with.
