seriously though the only problem i have is that people talk about him too much. hes kinda makin the nfl look bad right now which kinda sucks also. wait til a fast defense actually gameplans for this crap... really they should be working on tebow's mechanics to make him a better qb... all this ****show is doing is delaying his growth. hes gonna get killed playin like this... think of peppers, urlacher, briggs... suggs lewis and 53... killers just gunnin for the poor kid... its working now for whatever reason... it wont last trust me
As soon as teams get ahold of some consistant game film on him the better Ds will turn Tebow into a stain on the field.
Reason not so much...i just want to see him destroyed. There are certain people in the world that just rub you the wrong way the second you see them...he is one to me.

i wouldn't necessarily disagree with you... that aside however this offense theyre running is only working because teams didn't think they'd actually use it. i gotta believe nfl defenses, as weak as they have become as a whole, are gonna sniff this out quick. even if they dont, 3 quarters of errant throws are totally gonna get picked. even the scoring play (yeah, there was only one) the jets sent a run blitz... one of the safeties went rogue for whatever reason leaving tebow an outside lane. ryan's scheme wasn't even faulty as many suggest, they simply didnt execute cuz a safety got too excited and followed all the inside pressure. if he had stayed home, tim tebow would be getting a mouthful of him instead of strickland getting a mouthful of tim tebow. remember the dolphins awesome wildcat innovation? and how did that go? im just sayin it cant last, and the days of watching three awful quarters and a 35 % passer get away with it are numbered. it's lasted longer than i expected to be sure, but just wait khan a buncha dudes are about to rub tebow in much the way hes rubbing you

I agree totally that much of the reason for the hate is that every time you turn on sportscenter or read articles on any sports website they are flooded with "Tebow Time". I myself am tired of reading it but I hold the media responsible for that. I also agree that all this is most likely a fad that will fade out once defenses get used to this. But there is just as much chance that this kid gets the hang of some mechanics and does enough to keep winning.
What i don't agree with is attacking him personally( refereed to as an A-Hole). I would much rather my son look up to him rather than the majority of other top name players who take their opportunities for granted.
And honestly out of all the articles I've read and watched I don't see him pushing his religious values that hard. I do agree with Khan that should be something you keep to yourself. But if you ask a question expect to get an honest answer from Tebow. If you ask him how he managed to pull something off and he tells you with the help of God or whatever(just for an example). Well someone asked right?
i also don't agree that it is boring. Who on this forum does not like to watch 4th quarter comebacks that pretty much defy logic.

This is a very interesting debate in that there seems to be no "middle of the road".
I think one could use this topic as an identifier of what type of person you are.
Barring prejudices like "I Hate Christians" or "I Hate Denver" one could take the 2 sides and catagorize them in 2 ways.
Those that hate him are brain centered. Tebow's success does not make sense. It violates the laws of football. It's illogical.
Those that love him are heart centered. Tebow's success is a dream. It's hope come to fruition. It's romantic and heart warming. It's bigger than reality.
I don't think you can ignore a comparison between Tebow and Flutie. No matter how well Flutie performed he was assaulted by naysayers. All logic said that Flutie could not be an NFL quarterback and logic is a stubborn foe. After QB Johnson and the Bills got off to an 0-3 start, Johnson was injured and Flutie came in and went 7-3 and led the Bills to a play-off berth. Flutie was a Pro Bowl selection that year but was benched when the more talented Johnson was healthy again. The Bills were defeated in the first round of the play-offs. Flutie was released the following year.
Tebow will have prove himself over and over again and I don't think the naysayers will EVER relent.
Personally, I don't think he can cut it either but I've always been a logical thinker. But there is enough romance in me to not hate him and I would love for him to be successful.

Its funny because I have been reading about Tebow's past. Apparently what is happening to him is nothing new. ever since high school is was told he could not be a QB. Then college, he was told he would get crushed and do nothing. He turned out to be one of the best college players ever. Also I never seen him push his belief. I didnt even know he was a Christian until lately. Many players, celebrities... thank God or Jesus all the time. A person should be able to express his beliefs without being bullied. Up to now Tebow has proven the critics wrong and no one can deny that. He played in the NFL and won! I been hearing wait till next game and he will get crushed. Eventually they wil be right because every QB has a bad game. Who knows if it will last, but I hope it does. And the reason you do hear alot about him is because there are alot of people who hate him for being himself. And hearing him on TV thanking Jesus makes me like him more. He seems humble and is grateful for every games he gets to play. I like a person who is not ashame to be himself, alot of people are. I am not a big church goer but I believe in God. Most people are too ashame or afraid to say prayers or thank God in public because of the people who make fun of their beliefs. Sometimes it can just be playful but sometimes it can be bullying.
