People hate Tim Tebow because of how much the media shoves him down their throats. This was more true of when he was in college. Now they have to listen to NFL analysts talk about how he isn't an NFL QB non-stop. Any time the media is infatuated with someone, people are going to hate him.

As for the specific hatred of Tim Tebow, it's quotes like "I'm a better person for having met Tim Tebow" that are gonna make people hate him. It might be true, but that won't stop people from being annoyed by it. He is a great competitor, a great athlete, and by all accounts an even better person. It's like he's a living breathing cliche. Except in this case, the cliche isn't actually a normal thing in real life.

That's what I don't get though. Hate the media, not him. Tebow has no control over how much the media talks about him. People are facinated by him, for good reason or not.
 
I have no axe to grind with Tebow, but please, Denver is winning despite him for the most part. Yes, he has made some clutch plays at the end of games but Denver's offense is about the most impotent in all of football under his leadership and are only in a position to win games because of the defense which has been playing lights out. He is a poor quarterback. Statistics can lie but not this bad.
 
The obvious counterfactual is "what would Denver's record be with Orton instead of Tebow?" Unless God himself is actually getting involved, my supposition is that there is nothing that Tebow has done that Orton couldn't do.
 
yes the running game and defense has 'stepped up' but tebow has a lot to do with that....threat of an option/mobile qb opens up the run game and the offense doesnt make a lot of mistakes, runs some clock and leaves the d in good field position for the most part

Eh, it's hard to agree with this considering the team was 1-5 before Tebow and is 7-1 with him.

They're winning largely because of the Tebow, and partly because of Tebow. (And also because the running game has been reinvigorated and their kicker has been unreal in clutch spots.) Sure, you can say that the D has been the main reason he's been put in the positions to lead late comebacks, but to his credit he's now done it week after week after week.

Basically the entire team has responded 7 out of the last 8 weeks. I have no idea if it's because of a higher power, Tebow's a great leader, everyone coincidentally playing well at the same time...whatever. But while I still don't think he's a great quarterback (nor do I think you can make a SB run with him as your QB), 7-1 in the NFL is still 7-1.

you know orton played this year on the same broncos team right? and went 1-4? and lost at home to two teams that tebow beat on the road?

Please.... The whole team is energized cause of him. Orton wouldn't of made the run vs the jets. And God very well maybe involved. Dilfer and Tom Jackson all but admitted that on SC today after the game.

Oh please. I am glad I am an Atheist if people actually believe God is making Tebow win football games while the world is going to shit.
 
God, Allah, Buddha, Mohammed, Yahweh, Moses, Zeus, Neptune, Cupid and the Flying Spaghetti Monster all don't care who wins a football game. The God that's in the Bible also liked to test people's faith by giving them undue hardship, so I'd be more apt to believe that Marion Barber is the chosen one right about now.
 
You guys need to rent Angels in the Outfield. My black friend would call you guys "Haters"

You motherf***ers are just pissed that God loves the Broncos and not your team.

If he did, he would have sent his second born down to help your teams.

But he didn't, so suck it, losers.
 
And you need to read the Old Testament. One poor believer had his family killed for no reason, and I think another was eaten by a whale. Granted, he didn't make Job run out of bounds after the two-minute warning with the other team out of timeouts - that might have put him over the top.

I could go on and on. They are all objectively better QBs than Tebow.

He can manage a game. He's better than Orton, in part because he is a fearless competitor, and he can run, which mitigates some of his weaknesses. He's benefitted from a great defense, and his ability to run has helped open up the run game (like Vick used to do in Atlanta, but Tebow is not as good or game changing).

Burnsbros, I know you must be kidding. He's not even in the same stratosphere as Aaron Rodgers let alone Brady and Brees. It's absurd that he's winning all these games, sure he's made some plays but it's a lot of factors leading up to it. Total collapses by the opponents a bunch of freak plays and oh yeah God. Tebow must have blessed the field goal kickers foot, he kicked that field goal about 80 yards to sent it to overtime. They also haven't beaten anyone good.
 
Jesus ain't in no box score, son.

I'm not really sure what that even means, but I'm gonna make it my catchphrase.
 
Tebow 7-1
Brady 10-3
Brees 10-3

Double tebow's record since he has only played in 8 games and they would go 14-2 this season simple math....

Please stop, you are getting to the point of embarrassing. Are you one of those Tebow fans who never watched the NFL before? Because you have no idea what you are talking about.
 
Must we get into Tim "T(h)e Bow" in the mountain clouds of Denver and the NFL Betters Bible Code?

Genesis. 9:13-17 . Noah and Tebow of the Covenant.

13I set The bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth. 14“It shall come about, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud, 15and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16“When the bow is in the cloud, then I will look upon it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” 17And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.”

Denver will survive the flood.

I'm OK with this. There was a minute there in the 1996 Super Bowl that I thought Parcells was God.

I saw a great nickname for Tebow - The Mile High Messiah
 
Burnsbros is kidding, he knows his sports to well to actually believe this nonsense. Well played though.
 
In all seriousness, I cant believe some people started posting stats. Tebow is fun to watch and what the broncos are doing is hilarious and awesome. But no I dont think he is a top 20 qb in the NFL.
 
I feel like I dislike him more and more not so much for what he does, but for how insane some of these Tebow fans are getting. I had to sit at the TV today and listen to one of my friends' roommates tell me how he deserves the credit for them tying the game because he got them into position for the kick.... a 58 yd kick. This is becoming Vince Young on crack. A mediocre at best QB with a pretty solid team around him (Titans were better than the Broncos but played in a tougher division) who "just wins". I feel as though a lot of this hysteria will die down this next week when they face a good team finally and if they get to the playoffs and see a good team.
 
Awww, man. Now our 2011 title is tainted. Might as well just take the banner down so we don't have to reminded of it.
