I have a confession to make...I'm a Tim Tebow fanatic. Call it "buying into Tebow-mania" or whatever you may. I'm a fanatic for that man: as a person, as a player, and in every other way. In light of the recent news of Tebow practicing with the Patriots, I've been asked over and over what I think so here goes....
I think Tebow is one of those players that makes the line between love and hate very clear. There's not a lot of grey area. Either people are Tebow-bashing haters or they love him. Both sides are equally as passionate about their views and both sides are equally as vocal about it, as well. I happened to be in downtown Denver the day that Tebow got traded to the Jets and, let me tell you, there was a very definite anger at Broncos management in a lot of people talking about loyalty and how much he'd done for the Broncos. I think that Tebow got the shaft in New York. They brought him in knowing his style and what he had the ability to bring to the team and didn't bother attempting to use it. Instead they kept putting Sanchez in, regardless of how much the team was sucking.
With that being said, I have very mixed feelings about his possible signing with the Patriots. IF they actually allow him the ability to perfect his strong points, work on his weak points, and learn in general, he's going to be incredible. His work ethic is second to none and he has a heart like no other player I've ever seen. He has the ability to pull a team together just based on his energy alone. Let him develop his skills further and he's gonna break out and be amazing! IF they are bringing him in just to shaft him like they did in New York, I'm NOT happy. I'm not, by any stretch of the imagination, expecting him to be a starting quarterback for the Patriots because it's just not his time. If he DOES get to train and work on his game, he'd make an INCREDIBLE back up and, maybe down the line, a starting quarterback.
So what do I think about it? I'll let you know in about six months when I see how things go.
