    Amazing...

    that TT gets at least 1 charitable photo-op a week and that rest of the players in the NFL do nothing.

    Tebow hasn't done anything in the nfl that a truly objective viewer would see as good nfl quarterbacking worthy of 'slurping'. If luck or rg3 played like tebow most wouldn't think they were good qb's.

    My feelings about criminals are similar to my feeling about Tebow, I don't care if they are religious or not. In Tim's case, just keep putting Ws in the W/L column. In a criminal's case, just stop being a criminal.

    That is absolutely untrue. NFL players do an incredible amount of charity work. Do they all do same? of course not, but the teams require they do so many hours a year. Some go above and beyond that.

    Because its Tim fucking Tebow, his charitable events get national media attention. Meanwhile, the packers guys working at the soup kitchen, or the falcons players who read to pre-schoolers, or the Saints players that are involved with Habitat for Humanity get hardly any attention outside of the very local markets in which they do the charity work.

    Hell Jets players have foundations, and do multiple events a year, Brick does one for MS i believe, and i know Holmes does a bowling tournament with the Jets and fans for Sickle Cell research.

    That statement you made is incredibly far reaching and insanely uninformed.

    You seem to have missed the sarcasm. I have found his attention grabbing attitude impossible to swallow.

    BS. If one of them wins a playoff game next year you will be shouting "HOF shoe-in!"

    Should have clarified the "you" was figurative and a generalization. No, i didn't mean you personally. Apologies, hopefully we can all play nice again.

    Show me where I ever posted I didn't like Tebow as a person? That the problem with u Tebow nuts once somebody doesn't like him as a QB u think they don't like him as a person. I could careless about his faith,if he gay,if he a great person or a asshole as a person. I judge him by what he does on the football field.

    nope. If they both did the same I would be saying the samething. U Tebow nuts think he the next great QB but ur the only ones saying it. Bottom line he will NEVER be the Jets starting QB on a reg. bases.

    Tebow is not a QB and I was not overall impressed by any skills he has shown at the position during his short career so far.

    I unbiasedly would not be impressed by any player of a different name, gender, race or belief who showed a similar production at said QB position.

    As a person the way he spends his time is admirable and I believe he did not ask for any of this.

    I am glad the New York Jets have provided this genuinely decent human being with a second chance at providing his unique skillset to the NFL and its fans, for without them humbly allowing him to join their team in a supplemantary role and use him in a utilitarian fashion would be an injustice to him and hopefully to the success of this team.

    Thank you for your time.

    I didn't say you did, nor did anyone else. People have better things to do than comb over your posts. You called him "garbage" (obviously slang, I know), but get all butt-hurt over the label "anti-Tebow?"

    Lighten up. I'm "anti" a lot of things and people. I'm "anti" the new Dorito Taco Bell taco.

    Tebow set the all time NFL record for fourth quarter comebacks in first 16 NFL starts with 6.

    So when you say he has done nothing does it also include NFL records?

    He also had 3,835 ( total yards) and 32 TDs in 16 starts ( and appearances in a few other games ) and a winning record as a starter for the worst team in the nfl ( prvious 31 games) prior to him starting .

    Who is not being be objective again?

    Thats not a record.

    Thats like in baseball they got a guy come up to bat and hes the only player in history to hit a homerun against this pitcher when a man is on third, the sun is out and the ump is picking his nose.

    not saying it in defense of either side of your arguments, but situational stats are a plague of modern sports and i hate them.

    If Tebow really helped this guy, then that's great for both of them.

    winning record as starter (at every level including the NFL) does not matter, stats don't matter, records don't matter, got it.

    Trouble with that record is it means he was losing after Q3 a lot. Not something to be encouraged.

    Football is a team game. he was not solely responsible for the wins and he was not solely responsible for the holes the team was in.
    It was a crappy team that was 7-24 previously. Denver was down A LOT of the 3rd quarter in the two years before Tebow.

    Sometimes it seems like people are talking about the Green Bay Packers or saints or 49ers and not the WORST team in the NFL before the QB switch.

    Denver record before Tebow

    2-8 2009 (last 10 games of season)

    4-12 2010

    1-4 2011 (first 5 games of season )

    The worst win loss record in the NFL during that span.

    I'm talking about NFL QB skills which Tebow still hasn't shown. You want to look at combined running/passing stats and team stats instead of watching the guy play. Any other QB throwing the ball like Tebow would also be ridiculed, they just wouldn't have a massive cult following to support him with hand picked manipulative stats. Watch him play, stop reading hand picked combined portions of stat sheets, he's not an NFL QB.

    That's why the Broncos who wasted a 1st round pick on him were willing to get rid of him for only a 4th round pick when they have a 36 year old QB who just missed an entire season due to injury. If he had shown real promise as an NFL QB they would have been idiots to trade him away for so little. He could have learned from the best.
