Adam Schefter reports Tebow signed a two year deal with Eagles!
This is an interesting post. I've not heard from any of the teams that he's been with, Broncos, Jets, or Patriots, that he's been guilty of "evangelizing". He's just been a hard-working football player. His up-front Christianity is just evident in his lifestyle and his community outreach. So, he has been doing exactly what you suggest. He can't help it that the rabid press hates him for innumerable reasons.Tebow needs to understand that his job is to play NFL football, not proselytize to others while on the clock.
He can still go to hospitals, visit sick kids, and give his testimony at church, just save it for when he's not working.
Tim is not getting paid by the Eagles to spread the word. He's getting paid to play a spread offense.
Just like many of us, there are limitations for Tebow in terms of translating his faith to others while on the employer's dime.
If he does it right, he will ultimately reach far more folks with he's message, while still remaining in the NFL. I hope so.

This is a good post by a likely troll. Tebow has been blackballed by enemies he cannot name. He fights out loud for a different cause than we do here. Yet, he represents something much different and preferable than the norm.
If the world was full of more Tebows, perhaps we'd actually tame and civilize Africa. Not a pretty thought, but worth pondering.
Chip Kelley is trolling the NFL hard. Racist Riley, born again Tim, what next Ritchie Incognito?!?! I just hope there's no backlash coming. Kelley is going to have to win and trading away a franchise type QB doesn't help. I wish them the best but expect some blowback.
Why should he have to keep his faith under wraps? It's who his is. Nobody complained about the Reverend Reggie White when he was with the Eagles and Packers. or Tony Dungy who would praise God after a win in his post-game interviews. How about very openly Muslim Hakeem Olajuwan, praising Allah? A.C. Green from the Lakers 80's dynasty years was an ordained minister who constantly advocated celibacy. All of these players/coaches were admired. Tebow is much more than merely an openly Christian athlete. He's a confident WHITE man and he's encroaching on a blacks-only position. He's the perfect lightning rod for everything that Cultural Marxists hate.There's no question Tim Tebow represents something much different than the norm (his faith), which is not what the NFL is paying him for, nor will the executives, station owners and other media moguls stand for.
If we want to see more of Tebow on the field (and I do), he had better stick to reading defenses, rather than defending his faith (something that is not is his job contract).
The NFL is a money making entertainment business (much like the Simpsons), that does not want to promote overt Christianity with it's product.
I hope Tim ultimately gets to start, plays compelling football ( like we all know he can), and gets an extended contract under Chip Kelly.
BTW, I have been posting on Castfootball (under various user names) for about 10 years now. I am not a troll.
