All-purpose, running Tim Tebow sucks/is a deity thread!

That is where you and I disagree then. There are many more people in this country than 1 in 10 that care about Tebow.

Every Monday morning I am deluged by people that want to talk about Tebow and they don't the difference between a first down and a touchdown.

If I walk out in public on any day of the week wearing something that even speaks remotely to my love for football, strangers ask me what I think about Tebow. Again, they don't know anything at all about football.

That, to me, is the masses. Like Brian said, people that don't give two shits about football are following Tebow. And the number is much higher than 1 in 10, IMHO.

 

That's what's sad. To these people, Tebow is showing a bunch of heathens what faith can do. What they don't realize is there have been players just as devout as Tebow who have been much better players than Tebow now and probably better than he'll ever be.

Start with Kurt Warner. I don't know if Tebow will ever really be better than Kitna. And as far as a player, Tebow is certainly no more overt in his faith than Reggie White was and White was 100 times the player Tebow is and probably many times better than anything Tebow can hope to be.

Yet, it seems like to some, Tebow must bear the cross for all of Christianity. That's unfortunate for him because that's enormous pressure on him that he doesn't need to have.

 

The last home Texans game I went to: As we are leaving, people are looking on the field and they say: "Look! both teams are praying together!"

I say: "Yes. They have done that at every single game I have ever been to live."

Tebow is NOT the first player to pray before, during, or after a game.

Why does he get all the credit for something that many of the players have been doing for years?

 

Because he's Jesus.

 

Which proves my point of the masses loving him!

 

Faith, admirable leadership skills, and an improved defense.

 

I get what you are saying... Tebow has generated more water cooler talk than any athlete I can remember in a while... Still, his highest rated football game got around 20 million viewers.... in a country of 330 million... that's all I am saying.

The demo for Kardashian is much smaller. Female, young and stupid.

 

I think the Kardashian demographic is even smaller than that. Female, young, stupid and working at People, US or TMZ, where they try to decide what the rest of the world should think is cool, hot or trendy.

 

but that is the masses. nothing gets even half the people watching, except the Super Bowl and the last episode of Mash.

 

My neighbor is as religious as all fuck but he can't play a lick of football. Is his faith preventing him from being able to play?

Good leadership skills and a GREAT defensive performance that has overcome offensive issues that have a lot to do with Tebow. No other NFL quarterback can get away with not producing a single first down on more than 1/3 of his team's possessions. That would put most QBs on the practice squad or the street.

 

Hey poindexter: Pride goeth before the fall.

There's a lesson in this, somewhere.

 

Anchovy, I say I was 100% wrongabout Tebow. I thought he could show natural progression of a second year Qb, and it never happened. At all. He was TERRIBLE today, with it all on the line. No ability to read progressions. If his first receiver was covered, he was done for. And either he lost all scrambling ability, or defended adjusted, as was predicted here by people other than me.

Ricksain, you, others were right. I thought he'd improve but the last few weeks looked like regression to me.
