    The best football player in college football history is definitely already a legend. :tu:

    Mocking Jesus Christ is :dan:.

    I am a huge Tebow fan and want him to go down as an all time great NFL qb, but I doubt he does. Either way I hope he begins silencing his detractors (haters is too cliche these days)

    I actually prefer Tebow does well. I think it would make the Broncos somewhat interesting to watch. I've just been labeled a Tebow hater because I didn't fawn all over him...and I have no problem playing the villain. Every hero needs a villain.

    And its kind of mandatory that I disagree with Germ.

    I don't really care how nice the guy may be, I just quickly get tired of anyone that has a GIANT fuss made over them for no reason, (he hasn't done anything in the NFL yet) or stupid reasons (he's religious).

    To me he ranks on the importance level of the Kardashians.

    He uses his platform as an athlete to positively affect those around him in a way few people presently do. He has yet to prove anything on the field, however, he certainly uncommon in the way he uses his fame to influence with his message!

    So you are saying few athletes positively affect those around them? Really?

    I think it's completely fair (and accurate) to say he does it more broadly, than others.

    No, most all do, but look at the positive manner in which he affects not only football fans but those around the world. Many athlets make huge donations in the face of tragedy, or in some cases, simply as an act of charity. There aren't many, though, who travel around the country and world speaking their message as Tebow does.

    Not sure what this post is trying to prove.

    Tebow said and continues to say that he is a crier. He says he poors so much into everything he does that, when he fails, crying is sometimes his natural response. Please tell me you're a bigger man than to mock such a dedication to one's craft.

    I'm not sure if this is good or bad.

    This.

    Come on now.

    I guess it depends. Obviously his message is Christian based but, at least in this country, unwilling ears don't have to listen. Internationally, I guess it depends on how you look at it. I know one of my favorite Ed Abbey quotes is, "The missionaries go forth to Christianize the savages – as if the savages weren’t dangerous enough already." :)

    The values he preaches, and shows, I'm all for. Its the christian propaganda I could do without. Just my lowly opinion.

    That does not affect what I think of him as a player, or his talents. That other stuff is just to ruffle feathers. He sounds like a good dude, and I do hope he does well. Even if it means incessant I-told-you-so's from his disciples.

    OK, what end were you seeking or what were you hoping to accomplish in posting numerous pictures of Tebow crying?

    My guess...to bug you.

    Tebow supporters are an easy group to poke.
