Just put yourself in a position to enjoy it if he's a goal line specialist that delivers some key touchdowns or first downs.  It doesn't mean that you can't preserve your pure hatred for his fans, what he stands for, etc.  But you'll be better for it if you root for Tim Tebow.

This is missing the points.

Initially, the criticism was that we were passing up opportunity for plenty of other younger, capable players at that position. That we were putting time into an aging player with no experience at the position, and that there was little reason for doing so other than the player and coach having past history together.

I don't believe anyone here who is a fan of the team wants to see him fail or be cut, especially now that he's been signed to the roster. I think many more were critical of the tryout or signing itself, but now the bed has been made and we have no choice but to sleep in it.

Why does everyone who refuses to acknowledge the sketchiness of this whole ordeal think of him not as a TE, the position he worked out for and was signed, and also continues to get reps at in practice, but this homunculous "goal line specialist" position, like TLaw, Etienne, Shenault, or Robinson won't be able to get a yard and a half in a critical situation? Why doesn't any of the optomists here think he'll be outworking LB or laying a crucial block like every other TE on the roster? If we were looking to acquire a gimmick, we already had Shenault, Etienne, Jack, and even Agnew on the squad.

I don't care who's wearing the helmet, I'm going to cheer for them. Doesn't mean I'm not going to question our team's leadership if they are making some questionable moves before that big play happens.

Quote:Another credited season would give Tebow greater benefits.

I have firmly believed from day one that if he makes the final roster to begin the season, he'll be on the roster at the end of the season, too.

Do I foresee him on the field much over that season, not hardly.

Given the fact that Tebow is immortal and will likely live forever, that $21k/year can amount to a lot of $$.  Although, I must admit, given the cost of money factor, that $21k will really not be that valuable in the year 2245 when Tebow celebrates his 258th birthday.

Coincidentally, my student loans will be paid off that same year!
