Do you believe that Tebow is worse than every 3rd string QB in the NFL?
Do you actually believe if Tebow switched positions a team would sign him?
If Tebow isn’t being blackballed for his faith, why do writers still call him ‘a culture lightning rod’ (as is the case in an article today on NFL.com), or ‘polarizing’. If his faith isn’t such a big deal, then why has he been criticized by other Christians in the NFL?
We live in a time where the media wants to put a gag on strong Christian leadership while excusing and down right worshiping gays, rapists, wife beaters, and dog murderers instead.
You are failing to see the bigger picture in play.
A more relevant question is "Would Tebow sign a contract paying a 3rd string salary?"
Worse? No, he’s probably about 3rd string level material but the Jets didn’t agree as they actually started their 3rd stringer over him for a few games last year. And the Jets, just like every other NFL team, are interested in winning games more than pushing a political agenda. That’s not what they’re in business for.
If Tebow would consider a position change, work out for some teams at other positions, and display a level competency and ability doing so, I see no reason why a team wouldn’t sign him. It’s not up to other teams to do this, it’s up to him.
“why do writers still call him ‘a culture lightning rod”
You both nailed the issue yet completely missing it at the same time. “Writers.” You see, it’s not the NFL or other players that have made him a pariah. It has been the media and Christian public that have made him a spectacle. Teams are shying away from him due to the circus surrounding him, not his religious beliefs. You are part of that circus.
“You are failing to see the bigger picture in play.”
I see the picture extraordinarily clearly and soberly. You, however, are the one viewing this issue through especially colored glasses. This is a football thing, not a religious one. Quit viewing it as a religious issue and it becomes remarkably clearer for you.
