Tebow has shown more on the field than several backup QBs, and even a few starters. See the comments that got Rush Limbaugh into NFL hot water. That’s a big reason why Terrelle Pryor is a starter (what a complete joke), and Tim Tebow is unemployed. Tell me Pryor is a better QB, with a straight face.

I’ve always found Tebow to be annoying, but he is being black-balled by the NFL. His outspoken religiosity is one reason, and the fact that he doesn’t “look” like an “athletic” QB is the other. He isn’t a great NFL prospect by any stretch, but he’s better than a lot of the losers and retreads holding clipboards.

We're talking about the team who made Jamelephant Russell the first pick, first round. I've given up trying to understand why the Oakland Raiders do anything. I'm just glad that bone-headed decisions do seem to be their norm.

Some maybe, but not a lot. He just isn't very good at the position. Consensus is that he's third string at best, and nobody is going to invest a lot of money or put up with the overhead of Tebow at third string.

I don’t think anybody that’s been with 3 teams can be said to be black balled. He’s not a good QB, he can’t read defenses (which will seriously impede him taking another offensive position), his throws are inaccurate, and his throws are inconsistent (consistent inaccuracy can be dealt with, when their landing spot is random there’s not much you can do to fix it). Add all that weakness at the position to the legion of fans that will clamor for him to go in every time the starter throws an incompletion he’s an instant QB controversy and his only upside is jersey sales.

Yes, let's pretend he did not lose 4 of his final 5 starts in Denver. 2 of the teams he lost to in that 5 game stretch were the 7-9 chiefs and the 6-10 bills. Once the NFL figured out his schtick, he was pretty ineffective.

You'll have to help me understand what this has to do with Tebow.

A point that you cannot substantiate with facts, given the many other outspoken Christians in the NFL.
