Tim Tebow has even brought former Arizona Cardinals and Denver Broncos quarterback and current hermit Jake Plummer out of the woods. Plummer is critical of Tebow's call of faith everytime he breaks the huddle and wind. Tebow has every right to mention his faith. Especially after a completed pass as it doesn't happen often. As Rich Eisen says, "It looks like Tebow throws the ball with his feet." Plummer doesn't have only criticism for the young, uncommon quarterback. Plummer loves the way Tim Tebow plays football. As he and others have said, "Tebow's a baller."
Tebow has a nice response when approached with Plummer's comments. Asking if you only say "I love you" to your spouse when its convenient. Anytime is the right time. Its ridiculous that his faith is even an issue. Expressing your faith has never been as destructive as that which leads to a police lineup. We have far too much of the latter. Tebow is on the scene for his football. We should concentrate on that. I was concentrating on that before the 2010 NFL Draft. I was part hoping that the Vikings would draft him. I had questions concerning his passing ability. Everyone did. He was completely reconstructing his mechanics. Something usually done in high school or even earlier. I had no concerns about his desire to work at improving and I had absolutely zero concerns about his natural ability to lead. Many quarterbacks can throw. Few can lead like Tebow. The Broncos will always need a bit different offense that caters to Tebow's strengths. All offenses, defenses too, should bend to the strengths of its players. Tebow's passing needs to improve. A strictly option offense has little chance for extended success in the NFL. He has to be a threat to throw. He'll always be a unique quarterback. Let's leave it at that.
