Elway was willing to give Crapernick a job, and yet Elway fired Tim Tebow. Tebow is the only under 30 quarterback in NFL history who led his team to the post-season and was not invited back the next year.

. Denver had a 1-4 record. Then Tebow took over, and the Broncos went 7-4 and won the AFC West. During their wild card victory over Pittsburgh that year, Tebow’s performance was electrifying. Tebow was blackballed because he was an evangelical Christian - period. All this “he couldn’t throw” nonsense is just that. Nonsense. Don’t believe me? One NFC head coach told journalist Michael Silver: “It’s just not worth dealing with all the stuff that comes with him.” What “stuff”? Oh yeah - his love of Jesus Christ. An AFC head coach said to Silver: “You don’t want to put up with the circus.” What “circus”? Oh yeah - Tebow gave thanks to God. But all this BLM and black power/hate America stuff? That’s just fine.

Tebow was traded to the Jets after the Broncos signed Peyton Manning. You can't fault Denver for that decision.

So how do you explain all the other evangelical Christians who have played and who do play in the NFL? Other than the fact that they have the talent to play at that level and Tebow doesn't?
