Tebow




Tim Tebow. That name has been the source of great debate over the last few weeks.  His very public displays of faith have thrust him into the media spotlight.  Some have gone as far as to attribute any success he has experienced on the field to his faith.  Here's my take. Tim Tebow is at best an average football player. His team is in the playoffs because the defense started to play lights out at the same time Tebow took over as the starter.  That's it in a nutshell.  His devotion to his religion is admirable, but his football skills and his faith are two totally separate things.  Tim Tebow is not the only Christian in the NFL, not even on his team,  and it's ridiculous to suggest that God somehow favors Tebow over all of the other Christians in the league.   I believe this is a non-story if Mr. Tebow were of another ethnicity.  Luckily we will be able to put this discussion to bed after the Broncos get bounced in the Wildcard round of the playoffs.
