Tim Tebow wouldn’t be the first college star to struggle in the NFL. He wouldn’t even be the first to utterly strike out in the NFL. So what if he may not be a Ben Roethlisberger ready to go almost immediately?
Give the guy a break already.
Playing in the NFL is hard. Playing quarterback in the NFL is damn near impossible. Tebow is facing three problems. First the offense run at Florida wasn’t a Pro-style offense. Second, Florida had a lot more football talent than most of its opponents. In the NFL, parity is the norm and Denver isn’t threatening to roll into the Super Bowl any time soon. The third problem is simply the high expectations and the glare of being under the microscope.
There’s nothing we can do about the first two problems, they’re water under the bridge, but at least the media can lay off the kid already and give him a chance. John Fox knows what he’s doing on a football field as opposed to McDaniels who I always suspected had the wrong motives with Tebow.
I have my issues with Christian Fundamentalists but that doesn’t have anything to do with playing football. I wonder if the guy ever got laid? Maybe that’s his problem. I don’t think there’s ever been a successful virgin NFL quarterback. Hell, I don’t think there’s ever been a virgin NFL quarterback period.
