Again? (Why Tim Tebow is just in the way now bruh)

"Oh I'm gone play bruh!!"

Robert Kiyosaki once said, "Critics only make you stronger. You have to look at what they are saying as feedback. Sometimes the feedback helps, and other times, it's just noise that can be a distraction." Joel Osteen broke it down like this, "Sometimes, I think if you get away from what you're called to do, it's more of a distraction." Then Derek Jeter stopped all of the foolishness when he spit, "I think when things linger, that's when they become a distraction. I don't want any distractions." 

Well playas...the Philidelphia Eagles just picked up a distraction that they don't need! Ole Tim Tebow will sign a one year deal with these duns today and start workin' out with the team durin' it's offseason program. 

Let's keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! Like Derek Jeter said playa, when you let things linger they become a distraction. Tebow hasn't played in two full seasons bruh and he couldn't throw the freakin' football over his shoulder then. 

He's now 27 years old and he is, who he his! Stop with this foolishness! Granted, I was all in the Tebow camp when he was in Denver and took them boyz off of a respirator when they were 1-4 and won 8 of 9 games and then beat the Steelers in the playoffs. He was rollin'! 

Don't tell me that he couldn't play quarterback in the Natiobal Football League because I saw him play and win. It didn't matter that he couldn't throw the football because there were 20 other quarterbacks that could throw it and didn't make the playoffs. 

However, unfortunately perception is reality playa. The Jets screwed him by bringin' him in with all of the foolish fanfare and let him sit. So now he's a built-in distraction. Why bring a boy in that's two years removed from playin' and you've got a car load of quarterbacks on your roster? It's insane!!! 

They've got Sam Bradford, who's perfect for Chip Kelly's system because he ran it in college. Then they've got Mark Sanchez and Matt Barkley hangin' out in the joint. So what's the purpose of bringin' Tebow? You aren't gonna play the duns you've got.

Are you gonna run the freakin' Wishbone bruh? This is the NFL not the Big Eight!! Either you need a dun that can throw the football or you don't and unfortunately whoever is lined up back there has to be able to get rid of the football especially in that system. Otherwise, it's too easy to defend. 

So is this gonna be another side show or a what? On some real talk that janky offense isn't gonna work in the NFL anyway whether Sam Bradford is runnin' it or no throwin' Tebow is runnin' it. We saw it jump out of the cannon last year and fizzle away by week 8. Now you're addin' a side show to the chaos? Stop with this foolishness. 

Ole boy Joel Osteen said it best earlier when said, "I think when you get away from what you're called to do it's more of a distraction." Tebow has bigger things to do than to be sittin' on the Eagles bench beggin' a boy to let him play. Stop me when I start lyin'!

The caption under the photo isn't real but it's REAL talk! 

Let's Ride! (Tebow to Patriots)

"Come on over here bruh and we'll use your talent and leadership the right way!"

Winston Churchill said, “True genius is the capacity for evaluation of uncertain, hazardous, and conflicting information.” Abraham Lincoln leaned over and said, “Towering genius disdains a beaten path. It seeks regions hitherto unexplored.” Then Lao Tzu broke boyz off with this, “To see things in the seed, that is genius.”

Well the New England Patriots not only see things in the seed but they tend to see them before the seed is formed. That's why they are one of the best run organizations in sports because they always operate with the end in mind. Bill Belichick is one of the most hated coaches in the league because he out thinks cats or cheats, whatever side of the fence you live on, more than he cares to remember. On Monday it was announced that Tim Tebow would be signing with the team and is expected to be in mandatory mini-camp on Tuesday.

The move is straight genius homeboy because Tebow is a real football player that can play multiple positions on the field and be effective. Let's keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! He can be lined up in the slot (throw him bubble screens, option & underneath joints), at tight end, in the wild cat (he can run, throw or option out of it) and at quarterback all in one series of downs. Having him and Brady on the field at the same time would be a nightmare for opposing defenses.

 Belichick is the one guy that is smart enough to take advantage of Tebow's talent and most importantly his leadership. Don’t get it twisted bruh, he’s a natural born leader and there are very few people in the world that are. To have that type of personality in your locker room is like finding gold in the middle of the Sahara Desert.

If nothing else he’ll keep boyz focused and motivated to play outside of themselves at all times but you've got to use him for that to rub off. The genie is no good to you unless you rub the bottle and let him out. There is no question that Tom Brady is the starting quarterback playboy. However, Tebow brings so much to the table that the offensive coordinator is like a dope fiend right now thinking about all of the different possibilities and scenarios this cat gives you.

Boyz have completely forgotten that Rob Gronkowski has had 4 surgeries on his forearm this offseason and that the Patriots offense is most effective when they have two tight ends not just one. Tebow can give you another option at tight end too bruh! The freaking guy is 6'3" 250 plus pounds and very athletic. Like I keep saying, he’s too versatile of a player not to be in the NFL.

I saw that dun at the NFL Combine when he was coming out of Florida a few years ago. While I was having dinner with my cousin who was the GM of the Arizona Cardinals at the time, Tebow came past the table. Everybody sitting there said, "that kid is gonna play in the NFL regardless of position because he's a football player first and foremost. You can’t just lock him into one position."  

New England was just smart enough to sit in the cut and wait for ole boy to get desperate enough to humble himself to listen. See Tebow has refused to play tight end etc. in the past. Now that he’s been sitting on his butt without a team I would bet everything I’ve got that the Patriots stepped to him like this:

 “Listen here big playa! If you still wanna play football we got something for you but you gotta be willing to play where we want you to play homeboy. Tom Brady is the man around these parts pimpin’ but we can use you. You down? Well let’s ride!”

It was just that simple. Sit back and watch how they’ll use him to beat the breaks off of the league this year. There will be no press conference and circus to introduce him to the media either. Ole boy will be on the field this morning practicing like the rest of the team with no window dressing. Belichick isn’t gonna comment on it and neither will Tim. He’s been swallowed up by the Patriots system now and that’s good for everybody. Let's Ride!

The caption under the quote isn’t real but its REAL talk!

Poison

"I'm tellin' my momma on y'all!"

The 1st century Latin writer of maxims, Publilius Syrus, once said, “A good reputation is more valuable than money.” Abraham Lincoln said down at the car wash, “Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.” Then William Shakespeare gathered boyz into a huddle in the barber shop and said, “Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit, and lost without deserving.”

Well ole Tim Tebow had the reputation of a winner and most deservingly so then the New York Jets put him out there bad and now he’s got the reputation of a bust. They played ole boy crazy by bringing him in with the huge press conference and all of the fan fair only to bury this dun in the bench even though they were losing with an outright lame.

Even when Sanchez was horrible they by-passed him and played the 3^rd team Joe, McElroy, in front of him. Don’t tell me that he didn’t play him because he couldn’t throw the freaking football because he couldn’t throw that joint when he won 8 of 9 in Denver and won more playoff games than dull Peyton Manning did last year playboy.

Now because he rode the pine all year and boyz like playa hatin’ tight suit wearing Merrill Hodge talked crazy about him for an entire season he’s now poison. Nobody’s bold enough to pick this cat up now so his career is probably toast at this point. Reputation is everything bruh!

It's like the cat that took the sweet and innocent girl to the prom and then went back to school lying about his evening with her. Now nobody wants to date her because this clown ruined her rep! That's Tim Tebow right now bruh!

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes first! If he won more playoff games than Peyton did then Denver wasted about $90 million right? If we’re gonna talk playboy, then let’s talk! Don’t tell me that the cat can’t play quarterback in the NFL because I watched that dun play and win. Call it a miracle or happen stance or whatever. That dun won ball games and Sanchez didn’t. So he at least should have been given the opportunity to play.

Here we go, I hear the Tebow haters screaming from the roof tops, “You gotta be able to throw the football to win in the NFL and he only won because of his defense.” So you gotta be able to throw the football huh? Did the other 20 teams that didn't make the playoffs have duns that could throw it? More specifically, did the 17 teams with losing records have quarterbacks that could throw it? Tell me how that worked out for them? Cam Newton & Sam Bradford could hit a squirrel from 60 yards out. Neither one can win right now playa.

Boyz forget how terrible Trent Dilpher was in Baltimore and how horrible the Punky QB, Jim McMahon, was in Chicago and they both won Super Bowls. Now I’m not saying that Tebow would win a Super Bowl but if those duns could win one he sure as heck could get on the field and win games because he’s a winner by nature bruh! I don't care if he has to push the ball down the field with his nose. If he can win ball games then he needs to be playing!   

 Coming out of the University of Florida he was a two time national champ and Heisman Trophy winner with the leadership skills of a General. His DNA says that he’s the type of cat you want in your locker room.

Now on some real talk, going forward if he wants to continue to play in the NFL he needs to take those offers to play tight end that some teams have presented to him. His rep is shot now as a QB so he needs to be a G and change positions so he can keep playing.

Boyz have been doing it for years and found success. Just look at Antwaan Randle El and Hines Ward who were both quarterbacks in college and went on to win Super Bowls. Sydney Rice moved over to wide receiver and extended his career too. There are countless others that have done it too.

Just don’t be like ole dull Tim Crouch from Nebraska and be stubborn and refuse to move to wide out when the Rams drafted him. This dun gave the $395K in signing bonus back and quit. Where is he now? Probably somewhere wishing he had that $395k back! Don't be that dude, Tebow! Stop me when I start lyin’!

The quote under the caption isn't real but it's hilarious bruh!

Cuz I Know!

"Yeah, I'm bout to get up out of here bruh!"

Winston Churchill once said, “A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.” Vladimir Lenin gave it to us like this, “A lie told often enough becomes the truth.” Big Momma just kept it real by saying, “If you keep on lying baby, after a while you'll start to believe it. And that ain't good!”

Well homeboy, all of the talking heads have told us that Tim Tebow can't play quarterback in the NFL so much over the past year that boyz are starting to believe that it’s a fact. They’ve been telling us that because this dun can’t throw the football he's a lost cause. So therefore, in the experts opinion, he can’t play quarterback in the NFL. What they are telling us is that if you CAN'T throw you CAN'T play! So in other words, if you CAN throw you CAN play and be successfull! Right?

That sounds great as a talking point! However, it doesn’t logically make an ounce of sense because you’ve got at least 20 quarterbacks in the league that won’t make the playoffs this year that can throw the joint all over the field. There are 17 teams with losing records with boyz that can put it on the money.

Sam Bradford can hit a Lilliputian in the eye from 80 yards out bruh but he can’t win! Matt Cassel can give a lizard a wedgie from 50 yards out but he’s won 2 games in Kansas City! Cam Newton is the new prototype as far as skill set goes and he’s won 6 games, playa! The Minnesota Petersons have an Amber Alert out for Christian Ponder homie! So don't tell me that you gotta be able to throw the ball to be able to play! Now if you just don’t like Tebow then just admit to being a hater and I’ll move on. It’s just that simple!

Don’t tell me that the kid can’t play quarterback in the NFL when I watched him win 8 out of 9 games and lead the Broncos, who were 1-4 when he took over, to the playoffs and beat the Steelers. Don’t just act like that didn’t happen! There goes the clown in the background again, “Man that was all defense!” Was it all defense when they were 1-4 when they gave him the keys to the ride? I don't know about you, but every time I see this dun he's bumpin' that DJ Khaled, "All I do is win!" Would you rather ride with Tebow that has the "It Factor" or with some cat that can throw it 75 yards on a strike and lose? I'm just askin' bruh?

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! There have been tons of guys that have played quarterback in the NFL that were garbage and won. Remember the Punky QB Jim McMahon with the 1985 Chicago Bears? He was horrible from a skill set perspective but was a great leader. He managed the game without turning the ball over which allowed that Monsters of the Midway defense to win games.

Ever heard of a cat named Trent Dilfer? He was probably the worse quarterback in the history of the league to win a Super Bowl! Ray Lewis and Co. completely made up for his deficiencies! In both instances, they were given credit for leading their teams to victory. Not for being able to throw the football well because neither one of them could throw the ball over their shoulders. They were great leaders on the field and that's what Tebow is! He's proven it! Any cat that can take boyz talking about him all the time and not cursing everybody in the building out, including the little old lady in the cafeteria, is a proven leader!!

 How quickly do boyz forget that Big Ben was only allowed to manage the games during his first Super Bowl run? Now he’s the real deal but during that first Super Bowl run he was a manager of the games only.  Now I'm not suggesting that Tebow will win a Super Bowl or even make it deep into the playoffs during his career. However, I am saying that he can play quarterback in the NFL because I saw him do it with my own eyes. So in my G.I. vernacular, "Tell that to somebody who you know, don't know, cuz I know, playboy! I don't care if he pushes the ball down the field with his nose! If he can help you win, play him!

"Bad Boy For Life"

"Take your time homeboy! I'll be still sitting here when you've had enough!" 

Mark Twain once said, “You are a coward when you even seem to have backed down from a thing you openly set out to do.” Thomas Jefferson broke it down like this, “A coward is much more exposed to quarrels than a man of spirit.” Hood protocol says, “If you got something to say, say it to my face! Otherwise, keep my name out ya mouth!”

Earlier this week the New York Jets again proved that they were a complete train wreck in the locker room and why they keep losing when some straight up busters went to the media to talk about Tim Tebow. I told boyz back during training camp that this team wasn’t going to win 8 games because they had too many problems internally to be successful. They have too many cats taking sides and displaying them publicly. All locker rooms have sets but it stays in house.

Earlier this week several unnamed players were critical of Tebow’s ability to play quarterback. One dun told the New York Daily News that he was “terrible.” Another clown who shall also remain nameless told ESPNNewYork.com that they had no choice but to stick with Sanchez because “we have no other viable option.”

Now these cats are 3-6 still ridin’ with a quarterback that keeps running the car into the guard rail and ejecting boyz. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. Why not play Tebow bruh? All of the talking heads keep trying to tell us that Tebow can’t play quarterback in the NFL because he can’t throw the football like we’re all blind and deaf.

I don’t know about you but I remember seeing a Denver Bronco team that was dull last year sitting at 1-4 when Tebow showed up and won 8 of 9, taking them to the playoffs and even beating the highly favored Pittsburgh Steelers in overtime! Even if you didn’t see it you heard about it. Now you can say that it was the defense all day long but was it not the same defense that they had when they were 1-4? Stop it! Just stop it! At least John Fox was smart enough to put him on the field and get what he could out of him. The Jets are complete idiots for signing him and not using him.

Tebow may be a wreck at throwing the football but one thing I do know is that he’s a winner and has the “It” factor. If you’re 3-6 you may as well play the guy. In my Herm Edwards voice, “YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME, HELLO!” Don’t sell me that garbage that you have to be able to throw the football to win in the NFL because I can show you 24 quarterbacks right now that didn’t make the playoffs last year and won’t again this year that can throw it all over the field. Let’s start with Cam Newton who was the rookie of the year and set every record you could think of last year.

Let's keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! I don't care if he pushes the ball up and down the field with his nose! If he can help you win football games you gotta play him. You'll never know unless you put him on the freaking field.

You’re trying to sell me a vacuum cleaner and I’ve got hard wood floors! Why bring the guy in if you’re not going to use him? You’re paying him $1.9 million to run down the field on the punt team and you’re sticking with Sanchez that can’t even blow his nose right now? If nothing else, Tebow will breathe some new life into the stadium and the locker room because he’s a grinder. He works harder than anybody on the roster. You’re losing for a reason homeboy!

Let's keep it all the way 100 again bruh! There is only one team in New York and that's Giants. So the Jets will always be the side piece! They're the joint that boyz mess around with when thing aren't going right at the crib. So don't give me the "They can't win a Super Bowl with Tebow" line because they couldn't win a Super Bowl with Joe Montana in his prime!! They're freaking Jets for crying out loud!

Sticking with Sanchez is like bungee jumping with dental floss or getting into a Bugatti on the autobahn with Stevie Wonder behind the wheel. You’re gonna keep crashing! You’re bleeding and you keep cutting yourself. You’re in a hole and you keep digging! You’re getting beat down in the projects by the rival set and you keep throwing up gang signs bruh! At some point you’ve got to stop the madness and play the guy! Of course, I can hear Tebow pulling up bumpin' that P. Diddy Bad Boy For Life, "WE AIN'T GO-IN' NOWHERE!"

"Put Me In Coach"

"C'mon dawg put me in?"

When a person is or becomes deficient in one area God blesses them in other areas to make up for the loss. For example, people that are blind become extremely gifted in smelling and hearing. Those that can't hear have unbelievable vision and smell. So whenever a person lacks something they don't lose out on the ability to be productive because the equation is always balanced.

That's why I'm trippin' off of boyz that keep blasting Tim Tebow for his inability to throw the football because they are simply putting him in the traditional quarterback box. Yes, his mechanics are awful. His ability to drop back in the pocket and throw the football down field sucks and his completion percentage is terrible. However, his ability to lead a team is astronomical. There is no debating his ability to win games when it counts. They used to call that being clutch but now they just refer to it as Tebow! Why, because he's a football player bruh!

All of the critics are having a field day laughing at the Jets for picking up Tebow because they are merely putting him into the traditional box. He's a real football player that can play multiple positions on the field and be effective. Let's keep it real son! He can be lined up in the slot(throw him bubble screens, option & underneath joints), at tight end, in the wild cat(he can run, throw or option out of it) and at quarterback all in the same series. Having he and Sanchez on the field at the same time makes it even more confusing for defenses. The Jets just have to be smart enough to take advantage of what they have. The freaking guy is 6'3" 250 plus pounds and very athletic. He doesn't have to be Tom Brady or Drew Brees with the football.

Let me take you to school real quick, playboy. Like I said earlier, when you are deficient in one area God blesses you in others in order to compensate. Guys like Brady, Brees and Manning are deficient in their ability to run with the football. Therefore, defenses understand that they aren't much of a threat to scramble. With that being said, they can zone in on their assignments and play the pass first. Therefore, the windows that they have to throw into are naturally going to be smaller. Those types of quarterbacks HAVE to be extremely accurate with the football.

Their windows have been that small since they started playing little league ball because they've never had the ability to run with the football. Therefore, these guys have been FORCED over the years to become EXTREMELY accurate passers because of the windows that they've had to climb through.

Tebow's windows however, have never been as small because he plays on the fly and isn't afraid of contact so you have to be able to account for that defensively. While playing against him you can't just line up and pin your ears back on one assignment because there's always the possibility that he'll  run the joint down your throat or at the last minute dump it off. All you need him to do is be able to dump the joint off anyway. He doesn't need to be able to throw that joint 40 or 50 yards on a strike. That's what your traditional quarterback HAS to do bruh.

With the threat of him keeping it always looming his windows are a lot bigger than your traditional pocket passer. We saw that last year against the Steelers in the playoffs. The best safety in the game, Troy Polamalu, was confused all night, right along with the other Pittsburgh defensive backs. As a result, he threw for 316 yards on only 10 completions without being a very accurate at all. He just needed to throw the freaking ball in the area whereas guys like Brady or Brees have to hit a boy in the mouth in order to complete it. That's the difference between Tebow and the traditional quarterback.

 So it's completely asinine to compare the two because defenses have to play them differently. Brady for example, is throwing into a 12" window every time because boyz know he isn't a threat to run it. While Tebow is throwing into a 110" window because he is. It's like Kobe shooting into a regular basket playing against a guy that is shooting into a basketball that's eight times bigger. He doesn't have to be a better shooter than Kobe to beat him.

If the window is always bigger he doesn't have to be as accurate! The fact that Tebow is 6'3" 250lbs makes it easier for him to take off and run because he's delivering more punishment to corners and safeties than they are to him. Michael Vick is listed at 6'0" 215 but that's being generous. He's more like 5'11" 190lbs and he can't take the contact like Tebow can. He's broken more ribs than he can afford to at this point. If Mike breaks another one this year he's gonna have to ask his woman for that joint back that God made her out of. Tebow isn't going to have that problem because he's a beast and can absorb the contact.

If the Jets are smart they'll use the guy all over the field because he's a football player first that can help their team win games. USC lost the 2005 National Championship to Texas in the Rose Bowl on that 4th and 2 because Pete Carrolle didn't have Reggie Bush on the field. Everybody in the building knew that Lendale White was going to run it up the gut. If Reggie had just been on the field, Texas would have had to account for him. They could have ran the same freaking play but boyz would have been watching Bush and White walks for two yards and the 1st down game over.

 If the Jets are smart they'll keep Tebow and Sanchez on the field as often as they can to keep boyz honest. More than anything Tim Tebow has the ability to do the one thing that very few people have ever been able to do and that's Lead Men!!! He's a natural born leader bruh! To not have him on the field at all times is like showing up to a gun fight with a butter knife.

Information in this article was taken out of the brain of Ya Boy!

"Not Gon' Cry"

"I know exactly how you feel Tebow!"

Tim Tebow did everything that the Denver Broncos asked of him. He never believed the hype and just went to work everyday trying to make the team better. He was like the girlfriend that came along side of her deathly ill boyfriend and nursed him back to health. The Broncos were 1-4 and on a respirator when they called on Tebow out of desperation. He was the girl that showed up at the hospital when no one else would. She stayed by his side until he could finally breathe on his own.

She remained loyal even though ole boy kept telling folks publicly that she wasn’t the one but the next thing you know she helped him to become better than his old self. The Broncos were suddenly winning 7 of 8 games and were in the playoffs. They told that world that they were going to get marry him because it was the right thing to do. Well even the word of God says, "It's better to marry than to burn!" So Elway and company promised to put a ring on his finger and commit to him.

However, on Wednesday the Denver Broncos traded him to the New York Jets for a fourth and sixth round pick in the upcoming draft in April. Hey, it was like ole boy in the Tyler Perry's movie Diary of a Mad Black Women when he revealed to his wife that he was ending the marriage and she said, "Charles you're not leaving!" and he responded, "You're right! You are!" Her things were already in the U-Haul out front with a driver! Straight gangsta move if I should say so myself!

Tebow however, handled it with class by saying, "I'm thankful they stuck with me through this whole crazy process," he said during a call late Wednesday night, repeating several times that he was "excited" to be a member of the Jets and to play for coach Rex Ryan." When you know he really wanted to go Angela Bassett "Waiting to Exhale" on them and burn all of their clothes and the ride for hooking up with the new chick after saving their season and taking them to the playoffs!

You now he was bumpin' that Mary J. Blige joint "Not Gon' Cry" all the way to the airport bruh! I can hear it now:
"I was your lover and your secretary
Working every day of the week
Was at the job when no one else was there
Helping you get on your feet"

Now these boyz are leaving with the other woman that we still don't know if she can cook or be loyal when times get tough. Is she really going to be there through the thick and thin? Everybody keeps telling us that the doctor's are saying that Peyton's good to go but let me tell you something about medical care bruh. There are two categories of people that get the worst medical attention in this country, the extremely poor and the extremely wealthy.

Poor folks get only what people are willing to give them and that's the bare minimum. Wealthy folks get whatever they want even if it's not the best for them because they can always find a doctor that’s willing to say or do whatever they want them to do for the right price. If you don't believe me bruh holla at Dr. Conrad Murray and ask him if Michael Jackson got enough Propofol!

If the Broncos were only going to get a fourth and a sixth round pick for him they may as well have held on to him! Why not keep the guy and let him learn from the best brain in football? Let's keep it real or all the way 100, which ever comes first! How long is Peyton Manning going to be there bruh? Or better yet how long will he be healthy? The Jet's got over like a fat cat because the media attention alone will profit the team big time. All of that for a fourth and sixth round pick? It makes sense to me!

Even if Peyton goes down early Tebow could have taken advantage of having a guy that knows how to play the position better than anyone else. Elway wasn't even thinking bruh! What ever happened to building for the future as well? Having Peyton for a short period of time would have been helpful for a young quarterback!

Hey I just hope the Broncos don’t end up like Charles, temporarily unable to walk when it’s all said and done!

Set For Life!

"Thank you for allowing me to overcome the odds!"

They are people that earn millions of dollars every year making a living as motivational speakers. Large corporations and private groups bring these guys in to rally the troops, if you will, to get the very best out of their organizations. I've seen some guys make more than $100K per lecture. I can remember Lou Holtz and one of the guys from Apollo 13 (NASA) speaking at one of my employer’s national meetings some years ago.

Well, if Tim Tebow would have retired after the 45-10 beat down to the Patriots in Foxboro last night he'd still be set for life. Now I'm not saying that I'd like to see him ride off into the sunset just yet. However, my point is that he never HAS to take another snap in the NFL to be like the Beatles! He can live off of the catalog for life bruh! He can tell his story of overcoming the odds until he dies and companies will pay big money to hear it. Of course, I'd like to see him in a Broncos uniform next year because this could potentially be one of the greatest endorsement off-seasons for an athlete that we've ever seen.

If Tebow's agent and PR people are worth their weight in their credentials he's about to get ridiculously paid off of the hype alone. There’s not a company peddling a product out there that wouldn't want Tim Tebow pushing it right now because he's as hot as they come. Any product that promotes performance, being the best, results, stamina or simply staying on top of your game. Tim Tebow is your guy! As a matter of fact, I want my cut for selling it bruh!

You think Jordan or Tiger got crazy bread from endorsements? Tebow is about to set a new standard! For all of those folks laughing at him this season. He's about to laugh all the way to the bank! The guy that can't throw the football? The guy that can't play in the NFL? Yeah, that guy! He's about to get so much money that he'll have to keep it in Fort Knox!

All of the so-called expert analysts keep asking the silly question, "How long can he play in the league?" My question to them is, how long can anybody play in the league? The last I checked the average length of time of an NFL career was 3 and a half years. So let's say he only plays that long! He'll still make money off of his legend until he dies bruh!

There aren't too many people that can say that! Off of the top of my head Jordan is at the top of that list. Some people come through the world of sports and make a splash where the ripple never goes away and Tebow is one of them. People don't even realize that he's already been immortalized in Florida Gator folklore.

He never would have had to work a real job in the state of Florida even if he'd never taken a snap in the league. Tebow could speak to groups in the Sunshine State and name his price just because his nose remained clean after winning two national titles and a Heisman Trophy. He'd have a job at the University for the rest of his life making a VERY comfortable salary I might add. If you don't believe me just ask a guy by the name of Archie Griffin that was the only person to ever win two Heisman Trophies ('74 & '75). He went back to Ohio State after playing six seasons in the NFL and got his MBA. He's currently the President and CEO of the Ohio State Alumni Association. Interpretation: shaking hands and signing autographs bruh!

Now that Tebow has taken the world by storm because he overcame the odds, he can write his own ticket. All of the Tebow hater's really didn't want to hear that but since I'm Ya Boy, I felt like I needed to break the news to you gently. Tebow's saying in his P. Diddy voice, "We ain't, go-in nowhere, we ain't, goin nowhere!" For those that are checkin' Puff Daddy changed his name to P. Diddy in 2001 in time for the release of that record after he was cleared of gun possession charges. I had to throw that out there cause I got boyz analyzing my work cause I’ve got hater's too. Holla At Ya Boy!

I truly believe that even with Tebow’s deficiencies at throwing the football he’s earned the right to come back to camp as the starter until he can no longer put this team in a position to be successful. He should be given the opportunity to work on his mechanics and improve on throwing and playing in the NFL. Keep in mind folks! This was his first year as a starter and he was able to lead Denver to the playoffs and that hasn’t happened since 2005 bruh! For those of you that have doubts about his future just turn on the Beatles bruh! He’s going to be just fine and very rich for the rest of his life! Not to mention the fact that he's living for the Lord and for that reason more than anything he's "Set For Life!"

Holla At Ya Boy!

"The Real Disabled Quarterback!"

"I've had to overcome my inability to run!"

When a person is or becomes deficient in one area God blesses them in others to make up for the loss. For example, people that are blind become extremely gifted in other senses like smelling and hearing. So whenever a person lacks something they are overly blessed in other area’s in order to balance the equation if you will.

Tim Tebow is a perfect example of that balanced equation. Yes, his mechanics are awful when throwing the football. His ability to drop back in the pocket and throw the football down field sucks and his completion percentage is terrible. However, his ability to lead his team is astronomical. There is no debating his ability to win when it counts. They used to call that being clutch but now they just refer to it as Tebow!

Even after this kid has led the Denver Bronco's out of the depths of despair of an early 1-4 start to now being 9-8 and being only two games from the Super Bowl. The experts are still comparing him to Tom Brady, Drew Brees and guys like Peyton Manning.

Let me take you to school real quick bruh. Like I said earlier, when you are deficient in one area God blesses you in others in order to compensate. Guys like Brady, Brees and Manning are deficient in their ability to move in the pocket. Therefore, defenses understand that they aren't much of a threat to scramble. With that being said, they can zone in on their assignments and play the pass first. Therefore, the windows that they have to throw into are naturally going to be smaller.

Those windows have been that small since they started playing little league ball because they've never had the ability to move in the pocket. Therefore, these guys have been forced over the years to become extremely accurate passers because they've always had smaller windows to throw into.

Tebow's windows however, have never been as small because he plays on the fly and isn't afraid of contact so you have to account for that defensively. While playing against Tebow you can't just line up and pin your ears back on one assignment because there is always the slight possibility that he'll throw it or just run it.

With that threat always looming his windows are a lot larger than your traditional pocket passer. We saw that last week against the Steelers. The best safety in the game, Troy Polamalu, was confused all night, along with the other Pittsburgh defensive backs. As a result, he threw for 316 yards on only 10 completions without being a very accurate.

That's the difference between Tebow and the traditional quarterback. So it's completely asinine to compare the two because defenses have to play them differently. Brady for example, is throwing into a 12" window every time because boyz know he isn't a threat to run it and Tebow is throwing into a 110" window because he is. It's like Kobe shooting into a regular basket playing against a guy that is shooting into a basketball that's eight times bigger. He doesn't have to be a better shooter than Kobe to beat him.

If the window is always bigger he doesn't have to be as accurate! The fact that he's 6'3" 236lbs makes it easier for him to take off and run because he's delivering more punishment to corners and safeties than they are to him. Michael Vick is listed at 6'0" 215 but that's being generous. He's more like 5'11" 190lbs and he can't take the contact like Tebow can. He's broken more ribs than he's got bruh. I heard that he was about to ask his woman for the rib back that God made her out of if this keeps up. Therefore, he's got to be able to throw it better as well.

So in my Snoop Dogg Gin and Juice voice, "Back up off of him and sit your cup down!" Like I said before you look stupid trying to defend your argument the more he wins. I know I hit the so-called experts in the dome with this one but that's what I do bruh! If I don't make you think there's no point in hollerin' Ya Boy, right?

Aliens & Heavy Chevy's!

"Tim Tebow and the Bronco's pull the upset!"

What if I told you that I saw green aliens driving a Heavy Chevy through the hood, bumpin’ that Geto Boys “My minds Playin’ Tricks On Me” or that Big Foot was selling dope down in the Village. What if I told you that the Flying Monkeys had a house party and the Wicked Witch threw down with her famous brew and it was as Don Cornelius would always say, “A stone cold blast!” After a few days of telling those types of stories you would recommend that I see a psychiatrist because I would have no proof of the events.

However, I’ve been telling you that Tim Tebow can, in fact, play quarterback in the NFL but you keep insisting that he can’t! Now I’m beginning to believe that one of us is crazy and it ain’t me bruh! Now are you going to voluntarily put the straight jacket on or am I going to have to wrestle you into it? Let me know if need to call some real “G’s” and move my furniture around before this gets ugly.

Tebow strikes again as all of his hater’s watch in disbelief. He led the Denver Bronco’s on yet another amazing victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers 29-23 in overtime, I might add, in the AFC Wild Card Match up. A poised Tim Tebow hit Demaryious Thomas across the middle on a mind blowing 80-yard touchdown pass on the first play of overtime to win the game. The play took only 11 seconds and was the quickest ending to an overtime in NFL history. Who else ladies, gentleman and hater‘s but the incomparable Tim Tebow?

Ole boy put a career high 316 yards in the air in the biggest game of his pro career to shut all the hater’s up for good. Whatever happens in New England next week is irrelevant because my point has already been proven weeks ago. Just like there are actually people in the world that look like and act like Madea, Shanaynay and Ole Man Otis. Tyler Perry and Martin Lawrence didn’t just make those characters up. Go to any hood in America and you’ll find all three of them playing cards together. Just like if you go to Denver you’ll find a real quarterback under center.

I’ve been saying all season long to stop telling me that he can’t play quarterback in the NFL when I’m watching him play every week! If my television is on and the Bronco’s are playing and he’s on the field then he’s playing bruh!

I’m not the one who’s crazy. What’s crazy is to keep listening to these so called experts that have convinced you to believe that in order to play quarterback in the NFL you’ve got to be able to throw the football like Dan Marino, Peyton “Freaking” Manning or Tom Brady.

No Sir! You’ve got to be able to lead the team by rallying the troops and by not putting them into bad situations! He’s got the “It Factor” and you can’t teach that. All Tebow has done this season is make the Bronco’s a better team because of his leadership. They were 1-4 when he took over. Now they’re deep into the playoffs. I’d say that’s much better.

I’m the one who’s crazy though? All I’ve heard was “Tebow’s mechanics are terrible! Defenses are going to figure him out. The Bears gave them that ball game because of some bone head mistakes down the stretch. The Steelers were banged up with too many injuries. Big Ben couldn’t move in the pocket!” Bla Bla Bla! It’s football bruh and regardless of what’s happening with the other team you’ve got to take advantage of the circumstances you‘re faced with.

If defenses couldn’t figure him out early on, Win! If the Bears imploded in the last seconds of the game, Win! If the Steelers roll into town snake bitten, Win! It’s just that simple! A winner knows how to win under whatever circumstances you put them in and Tebow happens to be that guy. Stop fighting it because you look stupid trying to tell the world that he can’t play quarterback in the NFL when we’re all looking at the freaking guy not only play but win.

Now I’m gonna start throwing people off of the band wagon because this joint is starting to get crowded. This isn’t the subway bruh, where just anybody can get on! I mean you had to already be on this joint week six when the train left the station. I’m seeing boyz hollerin’ Tebow that were walking just last week.

As a matter of fact, I’m stopping this joint and I want to see some ID. If your card doesn’t say “I Believed After Week Six“, I’m throwing you off. Don’t be the girl that wouldn’t give the guy the time of day and then after he’s blown up she’s suddenly lost her watch. I’m just saying! Can we now officially say that Tebow is the real deal and move on from this ignorance because I’ve got to go. My boys are pulling up in the Heavy Chevy?

"Who Ya Wit?"

"I'm riding with Jesus!"

Those of us that understand the power of God aren't at all surprised at the success of Tim Tebow. Most people are scratching their heads trying to figure this thing out but there is no logic to what God can do. All he's doing is allowing Tebow to have success without reason so that he can get the glory. On Saturday the very man that didn't want Tim to play in the first place, coach John Fox, asked Tebow to address the team. According to the Denver Post, Tebow turned to the Bible, quoting Proverbs 27:17: "Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."

"He said iron sharpens iron and men sharpen other men. And I think that's totally true," rookie linebacker Von Miller told The Post. "He gave us a great speech. We came out (for the game) fired up. And that was a wrap. I've never seen a human who can will himself to win like that," Miller told The Post.

Let's keep it real or all the way 100, which ever comes first! Tebow shouldn't even be on the field according to the numbers not to mention be winning. However, the word of God says "if God is for you who can be against you?" Isaiah 41:13. Tebow is bold in letting folks know that he is a believer and God is allowing him to prosper as a result of it! So even though all of the experts continue to hate and explain to us that we aren't seeing what we're seeing. God is showing us that he can even be God on the football field.

You can throw the stats out of the window because when God takes over there's nothing you can do about it. How is it possible for a guy to win a football game in the NFL only completing two passes? How is it possible that a guy can start on a team when both the head coach and VP of Football Operations don’t want him? It's not, using the world's logic! However, all things are possible with God because his word says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Phillipians 4:13. Now you can hate all you want but Tebow will have success as long as God wants him to.

There are a lot of people that despise Tebow because of his faith. However, there will be a lot of people that will get saved because of him. Like it or not. God’s power is moving in that locker room already! The very fact that Fox asked Tebow to address the team is the door opening for Jesus to move. Fox isn't stupid. He knew exactly what Tebow would use to motivate his teammates, the word of God!

If Von Miller bought into the understanding that iron sharpens iron. I'm quite sure that others bought it to. That's the beginning of people moving towards the knowledge of God. Everything in that book is relevant and can be used to make us better people. It's not voodoo, it's wisdom! I'm proud of Tebow for being the person that he is and for being the role model that he is for our youth.

It's crazy that we respect guys for all of the wrong reasons. We loved Tupac for promoting Thug Life but he taught us nothing that would enhance our lives. We loved Allen Iverson because he had heart but he didn't use that heart to better anyone's life that watched him play. We loved Jordan because he was the greatest basketball player to ever lace them up but he only played for himself! But we hate Tebow for loving God.

Sure, athletes should be put into a box and we shouldn't look to them to be our role models. Charles Barkley said it best and even made a commercial out of it. "I'm not a role model! Your parents should be your role model!" Well, that sounds great in a perfect world when everyone has productive parents. Unfortunately, not everyone is blessed with parents not to mention productive ones.

So guess what? Kids will turn to athletes and entertainers as their role models like it or not. How many kids do you see walking around looking like Allen Iverson or Kanye West everyday? I'm just glad that some kid has the option to mimic Tim Tebow today! So let me ask the famous question in my Bernie Mac voice, “Who Ya Wit?”

The Newest Black Quarterback

"I'm  just doin' me!"

It's only natural for people to hate what they don't understand. For years  black quarterbacks in the NFL have been told that they couldn't play in this league not because they were necessarily black but because they were different. He plays with a different style and swagger that most find to be offensive. They aren't the prototypical passer that stands in the pocket. They've always had the ability to make plays without going the traditional route. Even though black quarterbacks have managed to win ball games they still never get the credit for leading the team to victory.

Any of that sound familiar to you? Tim Tebow is the new white chocolate. He's so different in the way that he plays the game that people want to see him fail. The media wants to say that in order to play quarterback in the NFL you have to play like Tom Brady or Aaron Rogers etc. That simply isn't true and Tebow is once again proving folks wrong.

In 1953 Willie Thrower became the first black quarterback to play in the NFL. He played in one game for the Chicago Bears against the San Francisco 49'rs and it was his one and only NFL game. Thrower relieved the current quarterback, George Blanda. It would be another 18 years before Marlin "The Magician" Briscoe would star in the AFL as a quarterback for the Denver Bronco's. He was originally drafted in the 14th round as a defensive back but negotiated a 3 day trial at quarterback. He did so well that they named him the starter the very next week.

Sound familiar! The Denver Bronco’s once again has a guy that is doing so well that they HAD to make him the starter even though the head coach and VP of football Operations didn‘t want to. As Tebow continues to win the haters keep saying that he can't play quarterback in the NFL. He's won 5 out of 6 games but he can't play quarterback in the NFL? It's asinine to continue to say that he can't play when he's in fact playing.

All I keep hearing is, "he can't do this or he can't do that!" but I keep wiping my eyes because all I see him do is win. I keep asking myself is this kid black or white because I've never in my life seen a white quarterback win ball games and the powers that be keep telling me that I'm not seeing what I saw?

Doug Williams had to win the Super Bowl and the MVP to go along with it before people said that he could play quarterback in the NFL. I'm trippin' because there have been tons of guys that have played the position for years that were garbage and didn't get this type of scrutiny. Remember Jim McMahon with the 1985 Chicago Bears? He was horrible from a skill perspective but was a great leader. However, he managed the game without turning the ball over which allowed the defense to win games. Ever heard of Trent Dilfer? Not very good but managed the game which allowed Ray Lewis and Co. to succeed in winning the Super Bowl! In both instances they were given credit for leading their teams to victory.

So why are people acting like Tim Tebow is the first guy to manage a game and let the defense make plays to win games? How quickly do we forget that Big Ben Roethlisburger was only allowed to manage the games during his first Super Bowl run? Now I'm not suggesting that Tebow will win the Super Bowl or even make it deep into the playoffs. However, I am saying that he can play quarterback in the NFL because I can see with my own eyes that he is in fact doing it.

You can throw all of the stats you want at me but the only one that means anything is wins vs. losses! The Bronco's were 1-4 when he took over as the starter. Now they're 5-1 with his inability to throw the football that will never work in the NFL. Tebow is like the white kid that eventually pledges the black fraternity on campus because he's got more in common with the brothers than he previously thought. Over the years, people hating has very little to do with race or skill set but everything to do with being different. Go Tebow!

The "It" Factor!

"Baby Tim Tebow before he became the winner that he is today!"

Tim Tebow can't play quarterback in the National Football League if he can't throw the football! It'll never work! You can't run the option in the NFL! Defenses are too fast and good to run the ball all night against! It'll only work for a week or two and then defenses will figure him out! Bla Bla Bla...it's starting to sound like Charlie Brown's teacher or better yet just some good old fashion hatin'!

All I keep hearing is the so-called experts saying that it can't happen but it keeps on happening! It doesn't matter what it looks like as long as it gets the job done! Tim Tebow's 20-yard touchdown run with 58 seconds left capped a 95-yard drive to elevate the Broncos to a 17-13 victory over the stunned New York Jets on Thursday night.

"I like winning," Tebow said after his third comeback in a month, "but I wish it wasn't this stressful."

"We played them well through the whole game, until that last play," Jets star cornerback Darrelle Revis said. "We played them well. Tim Tebow's legs took them to victory, ran them to victory."

In my Herman Edwards voice, "YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME, HELLO!" Tebow has the "It" factor and there's nothing you can do about it. He just goes out every night and plays the game the way he knows how to play it. His passion is contagious and his teammates keep catching it. You can't teach what this kid has. You have to be born again. He's a winner and that’s all there is to it. While at Florida he won two national titles and a Heisman. They weren’t just giving those joints away like government cheese!

Neither Head Coach John Fox nor the Executive VP of Football Operations for the Denver Bronco's John Elway believed in him. It's almost impossible for a kid to find success when his own organization doesn't believe in his ability to lead the team to victory. However, Tebow understands that the Almighty God has the last word on everything. He says it best in Romans 8:31, "If God is for us, who can be against us?"

Tebow's faith (IT) is strong and God takes care of his own! It doesn't matter if he can't throw the ball the way everybody thinks that he should. After completing just two passes in a win at Kansas City four days earlier, Tebow completed 9 of 20 passes for 104 yards Thursday night that results in another "W". If he keeps collecting W’s he can start saying “whew, whew, whew” like hilarious Martin Lawrence!

When he took over as the starter the Bronco's were 1-4. They're now 5-5 and rolling with Tebow! Like we used to say in the hood, don't hate celebrate! What blows me away are the guys that keep saying that you can't build your team around this guy. You can't run an offense that only Tebow can run. Well...the Colts got away with it for 14 years with Peyton Manning.

It's obvious that he's the only one that can run that offense now. Every move from free agency to draft picks for the past 8 or 9 years was made to accommodate Peyton's brain. Now that the brain isn't on the field it doesn't work. However, they got multiple 12 win seasons, two Super Bowl appearances and one title out of it. Now I'm not saying that Tebow will be as successful as Manning but I am saying that offenses have been built around one persons unique talents in the past.

The only problem with the Colts was that they didn't have a contingency plan. If the Bronco's are smart enough to have a plan B then keep ridin' the horse until it pulls up bruh! I keep hearing people saying that they should go back to Kyle Orton because he can throw the ball better. Listen up knuckle heads, they were 1-4 fooling around with him. That makes as much sense as walking to work when you've got a new fuel efficient hybrid in the garage.

Like the old grandma's in the hood would say, "Tebow, go on wit yo bad self!" Tebow, tell the media what they can do like the ghetto girls would always say, "You can kick rocks!" Better yet, stay humble, keep doing what you're doing and keep giving God the Glory!

The Odds Beater!

"I'm here now bruh!"

It's finally Tebow time in Denver! On Tuesday coach John Fox officially announced that Tim Tebow would be the starting quarterback for the Denver Bronco's. It's couldn't have come sooner for the frustrated fans of the Mile High City. They've been calling for this guy for weeks.

"Well, I think 1-4 has a lot to do with it," Fox said. "We haven't gotten it done as a football team. It's not one guy. It's not all Kyle Orton's fault. But we do have to make adjustments, we have to change and we have to do something to win football games."

Fox had seen enough by halftime Sunday when he decided to bench Orton and call on Tebow. After a sluggish start, the former Heisman trophy winner and two time national champion pulled a Kobe and put the offense on his back and came to within a last-second pass of bringing the Bronco's out of the toilet and beating San Diego.

As the Broncos disappointedly left the field, the stadium roared like the Roman Coliseum and all you heard was "Tebow! Tebow! Tebow!" It was great to see the guy completely change the momentum of the game and almost win it. Some people have what they call the "It" factor and Tebow has definitely been blessed with it.

I'm completely blown away at the amount of people that keep hating on this kid. When he was in college at the University of Florida all he did was win! He's clean as a whistle and only shows up in the news for one thing, winning ball games . He has a solid Christian foundation and the world seems to hate him. Isn't that what we want our kids to see in an athlete? We're always complaining about guys being terrible role models and how we'd like to see them make better decisions etc. Now here the guy is and people don't want him.

Well, I'm glad to see him get a shot at the big time. Why not? He's won everywhere else he's been! Tebow's arguably the most accomplished college football player of all-time. That alone should at least give him a huddle pass and 10 starts. Before you write him off see what he can do.

What two guys sat in a dark room and said that the prototypical NFL quarterback has to be 6'4" 230lbs with an excellent delivery? Why can't he play with the quirky throwing motion that he has and run all over the place. He’s a football player before he’s a quarterback. Limits are meant to be broken. Not everybody is going to fit into the same box.

They said that Doug Flutie wouldn’t make it because he was a dwarf in size compared to the typical height of an NFL quarterback. They also said that a black man could never play quarterback in this league until Doug Williams showed up, won Super Bowl XXII in 1988 and was named the MVP. I guess the same two guys told Mohandas Gandhi that his non-violent protests wouldn’t work during the Indian Independence Movement. Then Martin Luther King, Jr. used the same strategy in America during the civil rights movement and changed the world.

Those same two guys told me that I couldn’t succeed in life because I was born with one full arm. Throw in the fact I could barely read when I graduated from high school scoring 642 total points on the SAT. I can remember the councilor at the start of my freshman year telling me that I shouldn’t be in college because the entrance exam showed that I was more equipped to drive a bus. What? Me, a guy with one full arm? Are you kidding me! I need a job where I can wear tailor made suits, high end shoes and watches. Good luck with that!

While he was telling me that foolishness his brother was whispering to the kid next to me, you shouldn't be here either because you were raised by a single parent in the ghetto. Those same two guys have been trying to stop folks from succeeding for years. However, for people born with the "It" factor their tactics have proven to be ineffective.

 Tebow feels the same way right now. I know he’s saying to himself because he’s too humble of a guy to say it out loud, “I’ll show all of the haters what’s really real.” So you better believe that this kid will be ready to play when the Bronco’s show up in south Florida in two weeks because they‘ve got a bye this Sunday.

Now that he's the starter, the Mile High City should name a drink after him. Since he’s not a drinker make it a virgin daiquiri but whatever you decide to call it,  it'll be a winner!

Thought Leaders!

"Hey man, let me do my job!"

There are different levels of expertise in every profession. However, those that typically make the most money or at least generate the most revenue are what those in the industry would call a thought leader. They've come up through the ranks and seem to have a knowledge of the profession that most people just can't seem to grasp. That's why they end up in a leadership role within the organization.

With that being said, why would John Fox, the head coach of the Denver Bronco's listen to the fans in making the decision on who'll start at quarterback on his team? Let's really step back for a moment. He's the head coach of a several hundred million dollar organization that’s paid to win football games and he should listen to the fans, who are drunk I might add, when putting together his depth chart?  Now most people may not look at him as a thought leader but anyone coaching in the NFL is a leader in the industry.

The faithful in Denver want Tim Tebow to be their starting quarterback as opposed to Kyle Orton. During Sunday's game they began to chant T-E-B-O-W in hopes that Fox would make the change.

That's like Steve Jobs, former head of Apple, showing up at a frat house on Sunday morning at 3am during the height of the foolishness to get advice on which products in the pipeline should be launched next and how to market them. Fan is short for fanatic remember that! The more I talk sports with folks the more I realize that most people in the world know absolutely nothing about it. Everybody watches it but very few understand it.

If you don't believe me just turn on your local sports radio show today or read the local newspaper's editorial sports section and pay attention. You'll find more often than not, that both the host and the writer don't have a clue and the people calling into the shows sound like they're from Mars.

The local host and columnist are normally complete homer’s that will never have a realistic view of what's really going on with their team and the fans are even worse. Now Fox and the Denver organization get paid to evaluate players and their ability to play the game but you want them to listen to Craig, who by the way drives a truck for a living, on who should be the starter. Maybe they should listen to Roger that works as an engineer in the auto industry because he's a problem solver. Yeah that makes sense!

"Hey, I'll play when they think I'm ready!"

I even heard a well known columnist on a national show the other day say that Denver needs to put Tebow on the field just to prove to the fans that he isn't ready. What? Now the Bronco's are in the "I told you so” business? If Tebow isn't ready to take over just yet then he isn't ready. It really is just that simple. Obviously the coaches see something that is keeping him on the sidelines otherwise he'd being starting because they drafted him in the first round. He's third on the depth chart for crying out loud!

Just let John Fox do what he’s paid to do. I think it’s disrespectful to show up on someone’s job and tell them how to do it. How would you like it if someone showed up today at your place of employment and told you that you were wrapping the burger’s wrong and that the shakes should be churned to the left instead of the right? That would completely aggravate you wouldn’t it? Have some respect for the man’s ability to coach the team. If he can’t get the job down the owners will find another thought leader.
