At home watching Sportcenter, they're breaking down the Denver/Dallas game from last night. It's preseason so I don't care, but of course they're making a huge deal about Tim Tebow leading Denver, and making plays with his feet and arm. I don't like Tim Tebow, I don't know why. The kid wins, I like winners, he plays tough, I like tough guys. Yet, everytime I see him I say he's not a NFL QB, he doesn't have the fundamentals to lead a team. I think I do have a couple things, for one he's shoved down our throats, he's a back-up yet has advertising deals. His jersey sells like crazy (hence why he's shoved down our throats, people want to see who they like). It could also be the God thing, not many guys are as up front about their love of the lord and savior. Is that my problem, is he too unthugish for me? I don't like Mike Vick b/c he's a punk, but I don't like Tim Tebow b/c he's too good of a guy? That makes no sense at all.
Tebow is probably the most polarizing guy in the NFL. No matter what he does, good or bad, the people that like him will like him, the people that don't will always not like him. Unless the guy wins a Super Bowl he'll never get credit for being a "real" QB. When he was at Florida he ran more than he passed, I didn't look that up I'm just assuming. He won 1 national championship, and was the back-up for another, he won the Heisman, but since when does winning that make you a good pro QB, Matt Leinart I'm looking at you. My main problem is he's not a natural thrower, and in the age of the robots that are Manning, Brady, and Matt Ryan, guys who don't "look" right stand out and make you think they can't make it. He's a big kid, so big he looks shorter than what he actually is, I think he's 5'10" but he's actually 6'3" so he's not tall and big like Ben. He's also a runner, that really bugs the crap out of me, it's easy to run when guys are running routes and the DB's have their backs turned. I want my QB to stand in the pocket and only run when needed much the way a your Donovan McNabb was, I liked that, I don't like Vick and Tebow who take 2 seconds see nothing then take off. It's almost unfair, especially since their both so damn fast. That's another thing about Tebow he doesn't look athletic, he looks like a FB, but he's quick and will run you over. The more I type the more I think I should love this guy, but I don't. I can't wait for the fall of Tim Tebow and when he does I'll say I told you so, but when I'm wrong and he wins a ring you can shove in my face and I'll take it I promise. I know my opinion is backed up by much fact, but it is what it is.
