He's trying put as a TE.  Why can't you just have fun and root for the guy?  He's never going to QB.  

It seems like people are determined for him to fail in every sense.   Just enjoy it.  He was and is a great athlete that might be able to help.

People are still defending his performance as a QB and attribute any criticism of Tebow to hatred or jealousy or bias for his religious views.  These same people scarcely even acknowledge his challenges converting to TE after eight years away from the game.  

Even in your post, you tacitly assert I am rooting for him to fail.  I never said I am rooting for him to fail.  If I thought his failure would lead the Tebow cultists to finally give up their vigil, I might root for his failure, but I have found over the years no amount of fact will ever dampen the enthusiasm or devotion people have for Tebow.  I do believe, however, given the totality of the circumstances, he is more likely to fail at making the switch to TE than not, if the measure of success is developing enough competence in the position to:  a.  make the team and; B actually upgrade a position of dire need to objective observers, not merely to the satisfaction of Tebow sycophants.

This really makes me laugh.  But only because it's factual.

There's always an excuse/reason.  Always.  And I don't want to harken back to a prior post, but it's Twilight Zone-ish the length that Tebow cultists revert to.  I don't recall in my 65 years on this earth, the depths of this fanaticism.

I just don't, and probably never will, understand it.
