Is Tebow being given a Fair shot? (1 Viewer)

Most polarizing guy the NFL has ever seen, I can't believe how many in-season bumps this has had and....it's really rather amazing how the public reacts to Tebow.

Most polarizing guy the NFL has ever seen, I can't believe how many in-season bumps this has had and....it's really rather amazing how the public reacts to Tebow.

95% of people who comment on Tebow seem to fall into two buckets.

Bucket 1) Those who enjoy seeing talented, humble, team players like Tebow succeed and be recognized for their positive contributions on and off the field. These people are generally self-confident, talented, and positive.

Bucket 2) Those who are bitter, lonely, and jealous, therefore creating false controversy and trying to bring down others (Tebow, Tebow fans, etc.) to their level of depression and negativity.

Bucket 3 (mostly empty now) Those who believe Tebow has enough talent to play in the NFL.

Bucket 4 (will never be empty) Those who believe Tebow deserves to play in the NFL regardless of lack of talent because of what he represents to them.

These buckets are much better quality. The other buckets held no water. At all.

Finally changed my vote. If he's going into broadcasting rather than trying to prove himself in the CFL, it proves NFL teams were right to stay far away.

Bucket 5. Those who like Tebow as a person and leader but have never felt he has the physical tools to be in the NFL. These people understand that life isn't fair and know when to move on to something else.

Good addition.

What a quitter.

Good Lord, NFL owners would hire Osama Bin Laden, Pol Pot, and Adolph Hitler if they thought it would help them win. Some of you really think a clean-cut, no-trouble, white kid would be black-balled? On a message board with hundreds of thousands of threads, tens of thousands of members, and an infinite number of misguided posts - this line of thought may well be the most head-scratching of any I've ever read.

Yes the league has had players with felony convictions for armed robbery, drug dealing and other thuggish crimes.

....or maybe that there's more potential from broadcasting.

We need a thread title change to 'Is Tebow being given a Fair shot at broadcasting?'

Boy, ESPN just can't get enough of Tim Tebow. Polish off the shrine and offer him a job. When you consider how many people truly deserve that position based on their actual ability to analyze football (and probably actually have degrees and work experience in the field), its just sad.

I get it for the draw; for the ratings. But, to me, its just one more example of why 95% of the guys that cover sports on ESPN are terrible and offer a watered-down product.

Right now, across all the networks, the guy I like the most is the Redzone's Scott Hanson. I know, he's not an analyst, per se, but he's a guy that worked his way into his position and actually worked as a reporter for several years and actually shows genuine entusiasm for everything he says on Sundays. And...I never have to lose 5 minutes of my life watching him and some other ex-pro shlob all over each other as they pump up the other's ego about how great he was "back in the day".

He’ll be a college football analyst for the “SEC Nation” pregame show when the network launches in August. He’ll start work immediately, though, participating in ESPN’s Jan. 6 coverage of the BCS Championship game.

I still think ESPN needs to get Tebow and Ray Lewis on the same show. If ESPN doesn't do it Vince McMahon should.
