They would be fine if he spoke one way and lived another. His example makes them feel convicted bt their own lives
Add to that he is average to below average in talent, yet his team plays hard for him and has experienced success. You have the recipe for what we are seeing

the option i would pick beyond his faith which i think just urks the stupid is just being inundated with too much of him.

most people i know dont' dislike the guy, they dislike the tebow saturation of everything. kind of like a good song that you've started to hear just too many times.

espn has turned into sensationalist sports journalism at best and will latch onto a story and milk the spit out of it until there is nothing left.

Who hates Tebow? I don't know of anyone who hates the guy. How do you confuse not agreeing on the judgement of the future of his success with hating the guy? I love Tebow, I just don't think he's a good QB or will ever be one. I can't say that I know of anyone who dislikes Tebow.

I love it. Everybody keeps waiting for that story where Tebow is outed as a fraud but it's just not coming. He has said that he sees the NFL as a platform to tell the world about Jesus and is doing a fantastic job in doing so.

I'll continue to root for him and the Broncos... unless they are playing my Redskins.

I agree with some of the above posts. I don't hate Tebow, I hate the hype that is around him. My brother is a huge Tebow guy and it makes watching games with him nearly unbearable. He goes out of his way to point out how good some of his throws are. Sure, hitting a guy in stride is a good thing; the problem is, it's what a good QB should be doing every time. I've never heard anybody shouting in amazement when Brady, Brees or Rodgers throws the ball where it's supposed to go.

QUOTE "yet his team plays hard for him" ... He and coach Fox are both cheerleaders and don't seek credit for themselves. Team rallies around them .... leaders!

okay guys, I have to come clean....I created this thread with bad intentions. It should be locked. I put one option up that I thought was ridiculous and some one selected it and I believe they are serious so please lock it up...

But, just so you know, a dean of liberty feels that the media hates Tebow because he doesnt have sex. They made this known through their radio program and I started to think how absolutely idiotic that type of statement it in our culture. sorry guys

I dont think he is a member, but he is so narcissistic that he has employees of his on this board. I just need to let it go because he probably does it to draw attention to himself. Unlike Tebow

Has the Bible not said this would happen? I mean it pretty much spelled out this entire scenario and everything else except call him by name....which if you look in some of the newer translations I'm not so sure you wouldnt find it.
