I still think that Tebow should be the starter. He had another good game tonight. Anyone who thinks he can't handle the transition from college to the nfl is an idiot. Most quarterbacks will struggle in their rookie year but I would be willing to be that he would have alot of hilites. He is ready. Don't listen to the media. Play the guy.

The hate by the media and announcers for Tim is so over-the-top. If he were black, they'd be uncontrollably orgasmic by his performance so far and demanding that he be the starter. It's all that the jock-sniffing, circle-jerk, buffoonish sports radio hosts on ESPN and Fox radio channels would be talking about. It's just part and parcel of the entire rotten Caste System. But, not only is Tim going against the all-powerful and corrupt Caste System, he's also the anti-hero of the Cultural Marxists...their reaction to him is proof-positive of how entrenched Cultural Marxism is in our society.white lightning said:
I think Tebow's better off backing up Kyle Orton for this season and maybe next year too. Because he's such a "polarizing" figure (only because of the bigotry and close-mindedness of so many people who are anti-White and anti-Christian), he'll be better off not having the pressure that goes with starting as a rookie. Peyton Manning was one of the few quarterbacks who did well starting as a rookie and even he led the league in interceptionshis firstseason. Tebowcanbe great, but that's more likely to happen if he's groomed properly. Edited by: Don Wassall

Good article on Tim Tebow from today:

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. â€" They arrived like pilgrims this
summer, each looking for something different and yet ultimately
searching for the same thing: a hero, an inspiration, somebody to
believe. It was, as the woman, a nurse and mother of six said, they were
tired of "the garbage" of "the gunfights and murders and dogfights."
She wanted someone her children could admire.
<div style="width: 180px;">
<div></span>So it would be Tim Tebow.</span></div>
</div>
As the summer wore on and the Denver Broncos
training camp stretched through August, the lines of cars inched along
Arapahoe Road, winding around the office park and delivering fans to a
hill beside the Broncos' practice fields. And they came devoted, wearing
his jersey, No. 15, despite the fact he was the team's third-string
quarterback<div id="sidebar"><div id="sky">They shouted his name. They screamed for handshakes and hugs,
autographs, anything to get close, to touch him, until no one around the
team had seen anything like this before. Not for a player who had yet
to do a thing in professional football.</div></div>
Arguably, the biggest story in the NFL this summer was not in
Minnesota and had nothing to do with the New York Jets. It
wasn't a holdout or the recalcitrant Albert Haynesworth.</span>
It was here where the team's store at training camp â€" a trailer in the
parking lot â€" sold any number of different Tebow shirts in various sizes
and nothing for Kyle Orton,</span>
the starting quarterback and perhaps the Broncos' most important player
this season.
"It's been an interesting summer," several Denver players said
shaking their heads.
And the story only continues this Sunday in Jacksonville, Fla.,
Tebow's hometown, where serendipity has the Broncos playing the season's
first game just 1 ½ hours from Gainsville, where Tebow won a Heisman
Trophy and the Florida Gators were the 2006 and 2008 national champions.
Tebow might not even play. If he does it will be for only a few
moments. And yet the game is all but sold out in a stadium that was sold
out just once for an NFL game last season. Sports radio is filled with
callers who wonder why the Jacksonville Jaquars
didn't draft the quarterback who they are certain would have become the
franchise's savior in Northeast Florida.
There has really never been a player like this in the NFL. One whose
every move appears to be so pure and without pretense that he is beloved
by millions, many of whom wouldn't call themselves sports fans. Yes,
much of it is based on his Christian faith and his proud admission that
as a star athlete he is still a virgin and also about the television commercial he filmed with his mother explaining why she did not
abort him when it appeared that complications were life-threatening.
It was this devotion of his fans that led Tom Krattenmaker, the
author of "Onward Christian Athletes," a book about player's expressions
of religion, to say: "the way fans talk about him is almost idolatry."
But Tebow's fan base goes beyond those who share his faith. "I'm Catholic and he's Christian. We couldn't be farther apart," said
Don Tehan of Denver. "A lot of people believe he's going to win. We
think he's going to take us to the Super Bowl."
<div style="width: 320px;">
<div>Tebow prays with teammates and Steelers in the preseason.</span>
</div></div>
Just days after the draft in late April, when he was taken in the
first round by Denver, his Broncos jersey had become the No. 1 seller in
the NFL. And this summer when Nike put a training shoe in his name on
sale, it sold out in 15 minutes. Such things do not happen in sports.
Not to players this young, with seemingly no redeeming talent to play
professionally.
Yet every day, hundreds of No. 15s stared down at the Broncos
practices.
Where has this happened before, especially for a player who is still
deemed a project, about whom many NFL people still sit on the fence
unsure if he has a chance at an average career and only a small few â€"
including Broncos coach Josh McDaniels â€" believe to be a superstar in
the making? It is unprecedented.
"I don't know if I can put it into words," said Debbie Hightower, the
nurse, who is at Broncos practice wearing his jersey. She is originally
from Orlando, Fla., and considers herself a Florida Gator fan but has
lived in Denver for two years. "He's a good player and a great person. I
find myself drawn to those players."
About 20 feet away stood Jon Cannon. A pleasant man, he smiled easily
as he held a sign with the Bible verse 2 Timothy 1:7: "For God did not
give us a spirit of timidity but spirit of power, of love and of self
discipline."
Cannon is from Charleston, S.C., he always admired Tebow's devotion
to his Christian faith, especially at a time when bad things were
happening in his own life to make him question the strength of his
belief. It was on those Saturday afternoons when Cannon watched college
football on television and saw Tebow as "such a good witness of his
faith." This past summer he was hiking the Appalachian Trail in Virginia
when he kept bumping into people from Colorado. He took this as a sign
and stopped and prayed as to why he was meeting Coloradoans.
God, Cannon said, told him he is supposed to come to Denver to work
for Tebow's charitable foundation. So Cannon flew out. He wrote a letter
explaining this to Tebow and handed it to safety David Bruton,</span>
who happened to be the first player he could find and asked Bruton to
hand it to Tebow. Two days later he wasn't sure if Tebow had seen his
letter. So he held his sign and hoped Tebow would notice.
Such is the lure of Tebow.
"People may not agree with his beliefs but they admire his
conviction," Cannon said. "People are looking for that hero. He's living
what he believes and he's genuine."
Tebow, who professes to have locked himself into studying the NFL,
nonetheless notices the mania that surrounds him.
"I think it would be hard to miss," said rookie wide receiver Eric Decker,</span>
who was Tebow's training camp roommate. It was Decker who watched the
mail pile up, watched the fans clamor for attention, examined the
player's personal hyperbaric chamber in which everyone now knows Tebow
sleeps, and he wondered how anyone could deal with such a mania.
"Yet at the same time, he has surrounded himself with the right
people," Decker said.
<div style="width: 280px;">
<div>Tebow's Friar Tuck haircut, a result of rookie
hazing, was embraced by some Broncos fans.</span>
</div></div>
Maybe his new teammates would resent it, wondering why a quarterback
whose NFL potential is still very much in question. But he has been
charming, so unfailingly polite they couldn't hate him. And like
everyone else, they have melted.
"You can tell this is a kid who didn't ask for any of this," said
Broncos wide receiver Brandon Lloyd.</span>
And yet now that it has only grown, Tebow says he is unfazed.
"This is part of the platform you are on when you are the quarterback
at the University of Florida and you are on a pedestal and then you do
the things we have done, the attention comes," he said pleasantly but
flatly.
Then he brightened.
"It's not all negative," he said. "I do have the opportunity to go to
hospitals."
He said this with seriousness, not the phoniness of some athletes who
use public events like hospital visits to buff their public image, but
rather with joy as if it genuinely pleases him to see sick children. And
it will probably be seen by thousands more who will find it as a
sincere gesture in a sports world where athletes are so hard to trust.
The mania will continue to burgeon as it moves into the season, back
to Florida, to his hometown and propel the Broncos toward a year like
none a team has ever seen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Funny how a player from another team will be the reason why Jacksonville will probably have its only sellout of the year. Do you owners have eyes to see? Ears to hear? There's an easy solution to your attendance problems.

Tim needs to get married.

I can see it happening: Tebow because of all the girls who throw themselves at him- slips up and has sex- or does something past kissing a girl- and the media finds out and starts calling him a "fake" Christian. He needs to find a beautiful Christian woman with good morals- to settle down with- while he's still quite young IMO, to stop the temptations he will get- and put to rest the "virgin" or "gay" jokes he sometimes gets. Of course it's his choice and he should make sure the girl is right for him before rushing into marriage, but this would be my advice to him. I admire his courage and integrity for trying to stay abstinent until marriage- as that is what I intended to do- since being taught by my religion, until I slipped up in college once. However, it is harder than ever- with all the in your face sexual stuff on t.v and the web etc. and immoral behavior being pushed as "cool" to only have one partner your whole life. And even once you find the one, it is very hard to wait all the way through the engagement until the wedding day.

It's interesting that these "gay jokes" are never made at the expense of the NFL's black population"¦you know, the "men" who wear expensive jewelry, fur coats, diamond earrings, designer clothing, pricey sunglasses, and are escorted around in a manner similar to the narcissistic female Hollywood socialites.
A guy I work with said that he suspected Tebow of being "gay"Â because he is soft spoken.
I said: "Then what does that make all those black SEC defenders who Tebow literally ground into the turf on a weekly basis for the past four years"¦Transsexuals? Females?"Â
If the Entertainment Box ever hints that Tebow "might" be a homosexual"¦then Drunken White America will refer to his as such for all time.
Sometimes, only emasculating oneself simply isn't exhilarating enough for the modern white man.
