Tebow Be Thy Name

I'm like you, you and I we're pretty similar I'd bet. You like football, a good beer -- with no lite in the title -- Russell Crowe movies, and Tim Tebow.

Wait? You DON'T like Tim Tebow? Get out of town you're the only one I know.

You say there's a lot of football minded people across America who do not like Tebow?

The way he plays? His relationship with the media? Because he Gator chomped your Buckeyes?

Tebow found his way into the MVP talk

What a shame. I like Tim Tebow, actually I'm infatuated with the man. Peter, Paul, and Tebow.The Father the Son and the Holy Tebow. You get the point...

Tebow has won a title on both the high school and college levels, and while the Super Bowl is still  three months away it may not be a stretch for the son of a preacher to be a champion in the NFL as well.

After starting 1-4 Denver cut ways with Kyle Orton and handed the reins over to Tebow, who eight weeks later has the Broncos at 7-5 and in first place atop the AFC West. A feat that nearly every NFL expert on every network deemed impossible.

Tebow recorded a 149.3 QB rating vs. Minnesota

All the stat crunchers out there who cannot get by the fact he won't put up Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers numbers received a shock after a a 149.3 QB rating against Minnesota, a season and career best.

Tebow has surpassed the 100 QB rating three times this season, and the 90 mark twice. He'll never surpass the passing marks John Elway holds, but like the Broncos current Team President, Tebow will be in the MVP talk.

Too soon? He won't win it, don't sweat, a man up in Wisconsin will, but he will be talked about and that in itself is a win.

Tebow has 10 passing tds and one interception, an 87.9 QB rating, and 468 rush yards but most importantly he has six wins and only one loss.

A winner both on and off the field, I'll take it.

You may hate his opinions and religious discussion Kurt Warner, but I'll take that over some of the other jail birds in the league. In Week 13 -- Erik Walden of the Green Bay Packers and Ronaldo McClain of the Oakland Raiders -- were starting for their respective teams the same week they were arrested on different types of assault charges. Stupendous! Where's the NFL arrest free clock at?

I'll take a Bible toting Christian over a gun toting alleged woman abuser.

Just saying.

You're free to keep on hating, it's your right. I however will keep on cheering and rooting for the guy who plays quarterback like a linebacker and after Jacksonville fans suffered through Monday Night Football I'd bet they wish they were cheering on Tebow instead of Gabbert.

I would bet Indianapolis fans would rather have Tebow instead of Orlovsky or Painter or whoever, or the Washington faithful instead of Grossman, what about Chicago right about now instead of Hanie or maybe Seattle to team up with Marshawn Lynch double the power!

Denver took Tebow on, they changed their playbook to adapt to his strengths, the defense has stepped up time and again, and with four weeks left the rush to the postseason is on.

The haters will hate and the fans will cheer, but if Tebow continues on this path of righteousness against Chicago Bears as the favorites at home this Sunday -- the cheers will drown out the non believers -- and Tebow will be one step closer to redemption in a home playoff game.

Ask and you shall receive.
