Stop Bashing Tim Tebow

I love NFL football and have been a San Francisco 49er fan since John Brodie was the QB. Yes, SC fans, I remember when Steve Spurrier took them on a win streak when Brodie was hurt back in the day. I also remember when Bill Walsh picked up my second favoite QB of all time that people said would never make it. He had made the news as a player in the USFL not for his stats, but his contract. He was a lefty and liked to run as much as he did pass. People said Walsh was crazy and the press in Tampa couldn't get him out of town fast enough. All he did was break several of my favorite QB's Super Bowl records and then join him in the Hall of Fame. I'm talking about Steve Young. How quickly people forget the same stuff they are saying about Tim Tebow today they were saying about Steve Young several years ago.

Assumption gets you in trouble many times, so trouble here I come. I am assuming that many of the Tim Tebow bashers don't like his image as a clean-cut, Christian gentleman. Yes, that used to be the standard people sought after in our nation, but if you take a stand for God now very openly as Tebow does you get attacked. His talent is raw in the NFL and he's just in his second year, yet people are all ready saying his career is over. Seems like same of these same people or their forerunners said the same thing about Steve Young.

I knew when John Fox was named coach of the Broncos that Tim's chances there were numbered. Foxy won't go through another season with a young QB like he did in Charlotte last year. So with every throw that's off they find another reason to bury Tebow. With every throw or mistake he makes it becomes a big deal. The kid's got more talent in him than most people believe and I am praying he proves them wong.

I'm not a Bronco's fan, not a Florida fan, but I don't like it when somebody doesn't get a fair chance to compete in any profession. Not matter what he does somebody is on his case. Sportswriters and sports reporters please find another hobby horse to ride. Stop bashing Tim Tebow and just give him a chance. Remember, there just might be a little Steve Young in him.

P.S. Isn't it amazing that most of his critics careers in the NFL were not very good. Kinda makes you wonder doesn't it?
