| Tim Tebow |
After all, the Broncos have a 7-1 record with him, are leaders of a weak division and winning despite having a team with less talent than others who are worse off.
The NFL is used to certain guidelines, such as the quarterback must be high, shoot well from the pocket and be accurate with his passes.
Tebow does not meet any of these requirements, so their success can not be explained through the logic for the scouts.
One of the best college players in history, against all odds, this "shining" in the NFL.
I say against all odds, because the college success does not always translate to the NFL. Examples like Ken Dorsey, Gino Torretta, Matt Leinart and many more, abound.
I understand the excitement of the Broncos fans, and do not intend to prick the balloon. I just think it will never be an elite quarterback.
When Denver lost, Tebow is criticized more, and when winning is revered as a God. The culprits are us, the press.
Tebow is a winner, but completed just 48.7 percent of his passes, and his team has scored 18 points or less in six of his eight headlines this season.
Those are irrefutable facts.
His leadership is second only to Ray Lewis probably, and insist that their influence on their peers can not be measured.
Quantitative Call me, but I think like everybody, I believe it costs more so I can not see.
So Tebow wins, leaning on his faith in God. Around him, unusual things happen that often lead his team to victory.
Tebow said Wesley Woodyard at linebacker, who forced the fumble to Marion Barber last week: "Do not worry, I talked to God."
That was minutes before I realized the play that changed the game, as Woodyard said.
Beliefs aside, I think the mind is a powerful tool, and often will power takes you to overcome obstacles.
Tebow Woodyard led to believe he could, and linebacker could.
Personally, I prefer not to justify their victories in the supernatural, because I think it would be disrespectful to their ability on the field.
But while I still believe is the long-term solution for the Broncos.
It has a 7-1 record, but John Skelton has 4-1 record with Arizona, and no one is asking to be the franchise quarterback of the Cardinals.
It is not something personal against Tebow, it's just what I think.
Also I must admit I find myself wanting to classify the Broncos to the playoffs, to see him in a match where there is no tomorrow.
The expectation would be enormous, and I personally think that Denver would be in trouble.
But the sport it was never predictable, so we love it.
He gives us moments like these, players like Tebow.
Now comes a duel of care at New England, whose defense is ranked last, and I'd like to see John Fox giving free rein to Tebow. But I doubt that happens, because it costs up to the coach trust his quarterback.
While waiting for that moment, I see Tebow is declared the winner in the now. Will he win the future?
I think not. But that thought is the same as yesterday ...
