This team has a ton of building to do before tebow can ever hope to capitalize on his potential, no matter how hard he's willing to work. It's gonna take some time and Elway may end up giving up on him before everything can come together. I hope that doesn't happen though, because Denver is a 5-win team talent wise, and he helped them get to the playoffs and beat a really good Steeler team. There's potential there.
Pats did what they were expected to do.
Oh you know, Tebow went up against a team that is good.
Why the hell do people not shut up about him if their team isn't really that good? I don't even watch football but I've been hearing about him a lot lately.

Because he is a good Christian boy. Really it is the religion aspect that people go nuts over. Read the link someone just posted to learn why it is ok to not like him. I dont follow sports, but everyone talks about him at work and his book is super popular, so I had to learn more.
Needless to say, I am glad he got steamrolled tonight. Too much hype can lead to backlash.
I got an email.
The person who sent it to me used to teach organic-chemistry at a very popular University.
I also blew my nose 31 times, and in 6 of them blood came out.
Yeah, Elway at this point has his own challenge for sure. We don't know much about Elway so far as he has to prove himself as well. His future may lie in his ability to make Tebow work out. That team may well have done as well with a no name QB standing behind that offensive line and making a few chance complete passes at the right time. I mean, is it really Tim, or is it just that the entire team (defense) that took this team to the playoffs? Honestly I think the old hurt Steelers laid an egg, and made Timmy look really good for a game. They have a lot to prove, and it will be a lot harder next season. Again I want to root, but he has to show me something special other than some lucky passes behind a very good O-line. I do think his size and running ability are difficult to account for, but we know that style of play has been stopped before.
Their defense that all the hater analysts said was amazing and the reason for Tebow's success was exposed for how awful they actually are.
People love rooting for the underdog.
The entire team was exposed for how awful they are. I'm amazed they were able to make it this far with a subpar O-Line and receiver to boot.

Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider
I still think he's a super nice guy.
I personally do it ironically because it pisses my friends off.
People on ESPN do it because they want a good narrative to talk about on their 80 hours of NFL-related programming each week.
Religious people do it because Tebow was a missionary and was very outspoken in the media about his Christianity since his college days.
I'm not sure that anyone sincerely likes him because of his playing abilities. He is truly terrible.

Reading all about Tim Tebow makes me think of a question that George Carlin raised over 15 years ago:

The first 30 seconds...lol
It's really because he is a good person. The religion aspect doesn't have to be a factor at all if you are a rational human being.

All I ever hear about from people is the religion aspect, so that has clouded my vision of him.

so you admit you're a bigot then?
Did you read the article? There wasn't too much about religion in there.
Too bad he can't leave his religion off the field, like any other professional person doing his or her job.
If you dropped to the ground in prayer every time you did your job correctly, people at your work would probably find it inappropriate.

Pfft who cares? It's no different than a dude doing an endzone dance after a TD or spiking the ball.
Tim Tebow's annoying because of the fervent amount of support behind him when it's pretty obvious that he's a mediocre athlete.
Otherwise he's a nice dude and I don't care if he's religious or anything.

The celebrations he does on the field are leaps and bounds better than some other celebrations that other football players make and I have no problem with it. He has every right talk about and display his religion just like the rest of us. I admit is sometimes makes me cringe when he mentions "his lord and savior jesus christ" or whatever, but in the end I feel that it is not really a major issue. He is definitely not the only player that expresses his religion on the field. I also feel that his actions on the field, no matter how inappropriate some might think they are, should over shadow the great work he does off of the field.
And I don't think many people in my 1000 person Poli Sci class would notice if I Tebowed in Con Hall
It's pretty much this. And the anticipation of whether he can prove people wrong or right after ALL the speculation. It happens to be pretty interesting.

We get it. You hate religion.
You would probably be the guy who files a lawsuit against your employer because someone prayed in the office

It's quite obvious that Tebow feeds off of the attention he now receives and that he knows his stupid "celebration" is for some unknown reason extremely popular, even with people who don't watch football. I hope I am not the only one who's annoyed by this. Good news is we don't have to hear about everybody "tebowing" for a whole year.
Yep, it is annoying that people can't get over the religion thing. Maybe I am not normal, but I am an atheist and I still like me some Tebow.
I do agree that even though he may be sincere, he is certainly aware of the attention, and is pushing it just that bit more. He could always keep it to himself like a lot of other religious "followers", there really is no reason to push it like he does, and I understand how it puts people off whether they agree or not. It's kinda like ok just STFU.
Eh, I don't feel that Tebow should have to change his normal celebrations and what he says to the media just because what he does suddenly became popular.
This guy has done like 2 commercials, one didn't really sell anything except don't abort your babies.(what an evil guy...) has done few interviews compared to many other famous quarterbacks like a Tom Brady, and he only does that pose during games. Considering Aaron Rodgers does his World champ pose every oppurtunity he has, I don't think it's that bad.
It's not that Tebow is a media hog or pushes himself out there more than anyone else. He is a popular subject that people want to talk about. He doesn't force ESPN to kiss his ass. He doesn't force radio shows to make sure their callers only talk about Tebow. Hell he doesn't even do grandstanding things like Lebron James.
yes
You don't watch much sports ... do you ...
Yeah sure, but I think there is something about being aware of yourself and being somewhat modest. He is not stupid, and he knows the effect he creates, and it's up to him to tone it down. Does he have to? Not really, but I would respect him more if he did. But I don't lose sleep over it, whatever...

The guy's allowed to be religious, and it's not like he's flapping his beliefs around like some dick waving party at ProtoCents house. Most people are just jokingly using his strong religious beliefs as a reason for all the ridiculous come backs and wins. That's not something he can control.

Talk of him pairing with Tiger Woods for an upcoming golfing event.
He was crucified and died for our sins.
Sure... I just think that he could keep it to himself if he wanted to, like everyone else, just my opinion. If he were muslim and spouting "praise Allah" after games, I wouldn't need to hear about it. Just an opinion, I like sports the way it is. Celebrate, don't bring your religious beliefs into it at all imo. I understand that it is fine for a lot of people, and that is ok with me. We can have different thoughts.
No, this was Empire Strikes Back. Last week Luke blew up the Death Stars, this week Lord Brady beat blue lightsaber Luke, and in the Superbowl green lightsaber Luke

Honestly, this comic pretty much says it all about Tebow.
Despite the good things he does listed in the OP, I think it is pretty clear from this article that Tim Tebow is a seriously flawed person.

So rumour is that Tim Tebow is going on a date with Katy Perry.
