I like the guy personally. I think that he's a fantastic role model. But, against a decent team (Detroit), he did not play well. Made poor decisions, stayed in the pocket too long (7 sacks? As "mobile" as he is?), and just generally looked completely out of his depth.
Too bad. Kids could use an athlete to look up to.
I don’t think Tebow looked any worse than Romo did last night.
IMHO Tebow is damned if he does, and damned if he doesn’t : /
If he takes off, the powers that be say he runs because he does not have the skills to stay in the pocket, if he stays in the pocket waiting for Denver receivers to open up, and the line to hold, he tends to get caught. To me, as a Gator, I see him clearly steeling himself to NOT run, in order to prove he can do other things....
We hope Tebow watches the film from yesterday and realizes just how seriously the status quo wants him to fail.... a hard truth but real.
We have no doubt that Tebow will succeed in so many ways, but it is our hope that he will not spend too much more of his time or effort trying to prove himself to folks who discount and disparage his successes.
May God guide our course.
