I have a bone to pick with all of the Tebow haters. I know that there is this theory going around the NFL that he can’t be a quarterback in that league. But I do not subscribe to that theory, because all of his quarterbacking career has been a success. The numbers don’t lie. When I look at the seasons Detroit, Cleveland and Jacksonville (just name a few) always have …. please …. if teams like that had Tebow as their quarterback those cities would finally come to life … they would begin to feel successful and I guarantee they would start winning. The few fans they have left deserve it. TO THE BOTTOM FIVE OWNERS, GET OVER YOURSELVES .. STOP SNUBBING TEBOW. He WON the Heisman.
First of all, you have an awesome first name. Second, we can’t really find holes in what you’re saying. Tebow has won at every level: high school, college and even in the pros. Remember that run with the Broncos? Remember that playoff touchdown pass against the Steelers in overtime?
I mean, name the last person who orchestrated such a dramatic victory and then was unceremoniously dumped the following offseason (besides every Marlins team that had any success).
Nadine, we’re friends now. The reason why NFL teams don’t want to bring in Tebow is because of emails like yours. You’re not the only person who feels this way. And like you, those people are VERY outspoken about their feelings. NFL owners and head coaches are overprotective control freaks. They don’t want anyone or anything bringing the dreaded “d” word. Distraction. And people screaming for Tebow to start, organizing letter-writing campaigns, taking out billboards along highways and lobbying the White House (unfreaking real) are giant distractions.
Here’s the Laces Out advice: You want Tebow to land somewhere? Clam up. Keep quiet. When the hysteria dies down, some team will pick him up as a backup. Tebow ultimately has too much talent to remain unemployed for long.

Laces Out Crew ….
Give me ONE good reason that Tim Tebow is not a quarterback in the NFL? Convince me that he is not better than the bottom 5 starting quarterbacks in the NFL. Please don’t feed me the standard garbage. Give me something based on his football career, his record, that if any other quarterback had (currently playing in the NFL) you would say that they can’t be a quarterback in the NFL.
Thank you
Hey, it’s Nadine again! You serious? Because I went over that in your previous email … fine let’s work it out. Let’s list all 32 teams and their probable starting QBs. Then we’ll see if we’d take Tebow ov
