Jeff, thanks for taking to the time during a baseball lull to write all that. It has been interesting watching the Tebowmania here in Colorado. It was obvious from Fox's first day he didn't want to hear about it. Elway has turned a lot of people off here (and for Elway to get negative press in Denver is one step short of blasphemy) at first forgetting it took him time to learn to play at a higher level. I don't think Tebow will ever pass like an Elway or as others before him, but he does bring other aspects of the game to the table that most QB's cannot.
Does prayer help him? People weren't talking about that when they lost three straight and Tebow looked lost every snap. What happens if the defense line are also praying? Sadly, too much emphasis goes upon Tebow's prayers rather than ultimately bowing down to a sovereign God. Is He so? I believe so otherwise He is not God but merely a god formed in the minds of creatures. That is what Tebow would rather people focus upon.
You hit the nail on the head many times. Tebow has many commentators here in Colorado who have said that really didn't want to like him but his sincerity won them over. He, thus far, has shown himself to be genuine. And many don't like the homeschool route. My own kids have gone that route except for a few high school classes. I am not naive to education or the processes today holding masters and doctoral degrees (only stated because I am not ignorant to my kids needs). It is amazing what my kids and myself get in first impressions from people. Normally it is negative and sarcastic until they get to know us and then it can speak for itself.
The Broncos have had plenty of troublemakers with the team, even more so with the law, even seen suicide in the last few years. Coaches have come and gone in the turmoil. To those who don't like what Tebow stands for or his awful throwing at times, I hope they would appreciate what he brings to a game and, even of greater importance, to life.
Thanks everyone for all of the comments. A nice way to spend my lunch!
