I'm sorry, I don't mean to offend anyone; but, I have, in my life, run into too many people who are sitting in the front pews and then behave terribly outside of the church. Now, I'm not saying that he is behaving terribly; but, I am saying that he seems incapable of thinking that God may be challenging him. Perhaps God would like to see a little more humility from this man. And, if he takes a different position on the team, he may find himself being very successful. Instead, he insists on the prime spot on the team.
So, Mr. Tebow (who, btw, I feel has been harrassed for his Christian beliefs), be humble, say yes to an opportunity being presented to you and do that job to the best of your ability. You will be rewarded.
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.
You may have something there. While it’s admirable that he’s intent on realizing his dream, at some point you take what you can get. How badly does he want to be in the NFL? Unless he gets better at the QB position - and I don’t know if that’s possible - he cannot have a career as an NFL quarterback. That said he seems like a great guy and if he sticks to his principles he’ll likely do just fine, whether he stays in the NFL or not.
Very well said. As is is said, pride cometh before the fall. One of the seven deadly sins.
