Tim Tebow’s future as a player in the NFL is hovering up in the air like a Johnny Unitas Hail Mary pass. Some suspected he would find a welcome reception with his hometown team, the Jacksonville Jaguars. Yet the Jags’ new general manager, Dave Caldwell, said at a press conference Thursday, “I can’t imagine a scenario where Tebow will be a Jacksonville Jaguar.”
How does the record-setting star winner of a Heisman trophy and a national championship, celebrated for his work ethic and beloved for his leadership, find himself on the sidelines?
Tebow, all 6 feet, three inches, 236 pounds of him, brings with him a level of celebrity, charisma, and faithful fandom any team should be glad to have. Some say he isn’t a classic drop-back and pass QB. So be it. There are plenty of teams who could benefit from doing something very different from what they did last season. (Including the Jaguars, who went 2-14.)
Wherever Tebow ends up, I hope it’s still in a football arena where his influence brings God to the world of sports, America’s favorite religion.

They hate Tebow because he is an unapologetic Christian. Period. RGIII is one hell of a quarterback and the liberal sportswriters have been all over him because he isn't a thug like their heroes Mike Vick and Ray Lewis.

Lovie Smith just got fired, and Cutler pisses off his O-line and doesn't win. I want Tebow!

Tebow is certainly not one's classic qb. He is simply a winner who loves the game of football.

Time for him to look to the CFL like Doug Flutie did. He will do great there.

Dearie, a wastes of ink; the boy can't play pro football as a quarterback, He's an athletic anomaly and that's too bad for him.

Any quarterback who had the first season Tebow did with Denver would be said to have had a good first year and would grow and mature as a professional player but this is not said about Tebow. It is for the ONLY reason cited by Teflon93. It is because he is a vocal Christian.
These days the warning given in scriptures increasingly applies to our society, "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil;" Isaiah 5:20.
