Why The Cult Of Tim Tebow Isn’t Going Away Any Time Soon
“[INSERT TEAM NAME] consider signing Tim Tebow.”
As long as there are quarterback injuries in the foreseeable future, there will be Tim Tebow rumors, Tim Tebow hopes, arguments for Tim Tebow and arguments against Tim Tebow.
Aaron Rodgers got knocked out of the Monday Night Football game. The conversation has already been started. Mind you, Sports World Report dismisses the idea of Tebow to Green Bay (“There is no chance this happens as the Packers will avoid signing anyone that could be a potential distraction. But hey, anything could happen”), but it’s already been said and will be said again.
The Cult of Tim Tebow adores the former Heisman winner, and for good reason. He’s a very talented athlete. He’s successful. He’s a believer. All great things. But Tim Tebow is idolized more for his faith than his football fundamentals. Comments from when The Inquisitr previously broached the Tim Tebow conversation?
Tim Tebow is a class act. A man with Religious convictions,morals and principles.Commodities that are sorely lacking today,in any sports venue. I’m glad to see him maintain his values.
There is nothing wrong with admiring him for that, of course. But there comes a time when logic must step in and the faithful must realize that being a good person does not mean Tim Tebow should get another shot in the NFL; being a good quarterback would.
Tim Tebow may be the victim of his own arrogance. While fans call it conviction when he refuses to play QB at lower levels of football or switch positions in the NFL, the other side calls it stubbornness and conceit.
Tebow fans argue that he has more playoff wins for the Denver Broncos than Peyton Manning. While this is true, it’s also a very silly comparison. Tim Tebow is not Peyton Manning. As classy and as humble as the man is, Tim would likely be the first to say so. Being a successful QB and being a good one are not the same thing, despite the protestations of thousands of Team Tebow armchair general managers.
The Bleacher Report posits that Tebow-mania won’t subside until he gets another NFL shot and fails, as fans cling to the success he had in Denver in a short sample size. It’s the enduring memory of Tebow in the NFL, not riding the bench in New York or getting cut by New England. Many out there would love to see Tim Tebow fail, but, classy to the core, he likely forgives them.
At the end of the day, Tim Tebow deserves what everyone else deserves: the best of luck in everything he does. But, as an intelligent man, he may want to temper his faith and conviction with reality and reevaluate his options.
Do you think Tim Tebow has what it takes to play quarterback at the NFL level? Why won’t his hometown of Jacksonville sign Tebow? Has Tim Tebow been given a fair shot in the NFL?
