Quote:White was dubbed "The minister of Defense" not just for his on field accomplishments. He was actually an ordained minister. Tebow had nothing on that.

 

If Tebow could find a job in the league, maybe they'd give him a cool nickname like Offensive Circumcizer or something like that?

 

The bottom line here is that Tebow benefitted greatly from a stout defense that played out of their minds in Denver.  Anyone who bothered to actually watch any of the games during his "miracle" run there will recognize that for the most part he had very little to do with their success.  When your boss is a former NFL QB, and all he wants to do coming off of a playoff run is to find a way to get rid of you, that speaks volumes.  Elway, a guy who knows a thing or two about playing QB, refused to commit to Tebow as his starter, and traded him when he had the first opportunity to do so just to get away from him because he saw that despite being a wonderful human being, Tebow wasn't an NFL QB. 

 

The Jets found that out pretty quickly.

 

So did New England.

 

Now Philly has done the same.

 

I know the Tebow worshipers think that if he'd only come here, it would have saved this franchise AND his career.  The reality is, this franchise didn't need Tebow to be saved, and his career has landed right where it should have, in the media.  Had he decided on the Jags over the Jets at the time, it probably would have set this franchise back even further than it already was, and it would have fractured the fan base so severely that his very presence on this roster could have meant something very different about the long term prognosis for this team in this town.  The best thing that could have happened to this franchise was Tebow shooting down a better offer from the Jags to go to NY.  

 

Tebow is a good guy.  He's someone who inspires many.  However, it's not his faith that cut his career short in the NFL.  It was the simple fact that he wasn't very good.  Great college players don't always equate to all pro careers.
