Okay. I get it. All the criticisms, all the naysayers. Wondering if He is actually right handed. Asking yourself if an NFL team could be successful with a QB passing at a cool 45% for the year. Imagining the possibilities of a Pro Bowl starting offensive line consisting of Jamarcus Russell and Tim Tebow at tackle and guard respectively. I get all that. But as the great Jon Gruden would say, this guy, this guy is a football player. You can’t measure Tebow’s success by simply looking at his passing stats. This guy has more than intangibles, he has timtanglibles(Even more immeasurable than intangibles).
And I know that everybody wants a conventional top QB like SuperTom Brady or Peyton Manning. But nothing about Tebow is conventional. Everybody needs to think a lot more like Taco bell(outside the box) when it comes to Him and realize He’s not going to complete 60% of his passes, hit wide open players 40 yards down the field, or do anything a normal quarterback should. But Jesus wasn’t normal, and he turned out pretty damn good, didnt’ he(Note: Jesus actually ended life pretty horrificly, see the bible for more info. But I digress). Tebow is a different breed, and though I nor anyone else can put their finger on it, the dude seems to somehow be effective and just wins games
And all the while, whether you love him or hate Him, I don’t think there’s any way you can’t tune in to watch. He sort of has that Brett Favre effect in a sense. Though there was a lot of hate for Favre, I’m sure you couldn’t help but tune in and watch the Wizard Gunslinger magically lead game winning touchdown drives in the Lambeau snow or throw heart wrenching interceptions to lose gigantic playoff games. Tebow has that same sort of inspiration and charm to his game, and it’s must see TV. And whether or not this Magical Man will become successful in the long run is remained to be seen. Only time will tell. But you can’t spell Time without Tim.
