Reggie White black, so he got a pass. Kurt Warner publicly criticized Tebow for his professions of faith and so became a left wing sports media darling. Warner actually cautioning on the backlash from the media and the NFL. Trouble for Tebow commenced when his mother & he appeared in a mild, pro-life Super Bowl ad (that, BTW, made no mention of abortion). Mike Lupicas of the world made it their mission to destroy Tebow, and they've succeeded pretty much in doing so. Every move, utterance, mistake amplified and scrutinized. May be too late now, but he was, and should have been treated as, a developmental project. One more cut deadline; Pats might keep Tebow, even though they typically go with only two QBs. Could use him in other roles, which he said he is willing to do.

So everyone except Tebow is responsible for the position he is in?

The media, mike lupica, the broncos, the jets, probably now the pats too.

not even an ounce of it on Tebow?

The modern NFL doesn’t have time for developmental projects. There’s too much money on the line and too much pressure from fans and owners to win NOW. There’s a reason why so many rookie QBs start, and so many of the ones that aren’t good in the first year are never heard from again. The age of NFL teams developing a player ended a long time ago. And yeah Tebow, and quite a few other QBs, probably could have benefited from being developed, but he came up in the wrong era for that.
