I am so surprised by my fellow conservatives on here. It seems like they expect the NFL to have an affirmative action program for quarterbacks who are not that good but are Christians. Seriously the NFL is FULL of Christian Quarterbacks. This is amazing that we are not discussing skills in football. I cannot imagine any team not wanting Tebow if he was a great quarterback. The NFL is a business and could care less of his religious affiliation. If the Football teams did not want Christians then Drew Brees specifically would have been shown the door years ago.
Your logic is flawed. He doesn’t have to be a great QB. He’s better than many 2nd/3rd stringers. Its what Tebow represents... a high moral character guy who actually lives his values and isn’t afraid to gush about his faith in Jesus Christ. He represents an ideal that, in the medias twisted logic, should be ridiculed instead of celebrated. A mere 20+ years ago, men like Tebow were held in the highest regard.
As I said before, this is about the power of the media- not Tebow’s ability to play football.
It has been explained again and again in great detail why Tebow is not an NFL caliber QB. It has been shown again and again that there are many Christians who excell in the NFL. It is not enough for those who have made up their minds that TT is being blackballed. They want to believe it and you can’t tell them otherwise. Oh well. People are allowed to be wrong about stuff.
You are correct there are serious questions about Tebow’s level of skill, even though he was successful.
However, you are ignoring the fact every team says he is not good enough to add to their roster IN LIGHT OF the media circus or attention which follows him.
So plainly the insane leftist tilt in society is playing a major role here, because the media circus is about Tebow being a quiet nicely behaved devout Christian who also happens to have been surprisingly good at the position.
I listen to sports radio all the time and they engage in massive group think. Tebow may have limited throwing skills but the constant repetition that “he’s not an NFL quarterback” is a completely crazy statement about someone who in fact was an NFL quarterback on two teams and a playoff winning qb.
Without the Christianity Tebow is at least a back up quarterback on some team and probably a starter.
