Interesting similarities between Tebow and Roethlisberger i.e. both large and strong enough to sustain hits from NFL linemen and linebackers without much fear of damage and it's that fear which causes most other QBs in the league to screw up and throw the occasional really bad pass..

Tebow is the stronger and more heavily built of the two. He has a rifle arm, is accurate and getting more accurate and when he pulls the ball down and runs, it's more or less like having one of your better fullbacks running with the ball. He has no fear of running for yardage rather than for survival nor is there any evidence he needs any (fear) and, on top of all that, if there's anything he needs to know about quarterbacking which he didn't learn at Miami, he has the team president, John Elway there to tell him about it.

All of that's on top of being a highly motivational player and if there's a down side to the picture I've no idea what it would be.

The fact that some of us really don’t like Tebow very much? I’m not quite sure how insisting that Christians are all in the tank rooting for him has anything to do with our faith.

Look, Tebow a Christian - cool. But he’s not the only one out there on the field.

“Tebow is the stronger and more heavily built of the two”

I’m not so sure about that but the man can sure scramble, and make clutch throws when he needs to.
