Tim Tebow

[whatsup]

overrated!

 

[dngnb8]

Love him or hate him? Is he overrated or unfairly maligned?

He is fairly Maligned

 

[Eeyore98]

He signed on to do commercials for an anti-equality organization.

No thank you.

Exactly.

 

[LisaR]

Very overrated. I LOVED watching my Lions stomp all over his butt last week!

 

[EmmaBrault]

Exactly.

Are you guys talking about the Super Bowl commercial?

I just have to add my 2 or so cents Like someone else said, he's a rookie on a pretty bad team. Given more time, I think he'll work out just fine and if I wasn't totally , I may be tired of hearing about him. Seems like a lot of pressure when you know at any minute if you stink, there's someone ready to take your place.
Anywho, the boy is on my fantasy team and he is awesome so far for me!!

I feel like I should add, I may be a little biased, I may have a tiny crush on him Too bad I'm old and married

Both!

I don't "know" him so I don't really like or dislike him one way or another.

He was a good college QB, but was WAAAAY overdrafted by Denver as most people thought he wouldn't make a good NFL QB....he's showing that now that those people were correct.

IMO, if his name weren't Tim Tebow -- and if Denver hadn't wasted a 1st round pick on him -- there is no way he'd be their starting QB now.

That said....he's still better than Colts QB Curtis Painter....who is likely the worst Qb in all of the NFL.

He's not a rookie. This is his 2nd year, and he got some PT last year too.

I have a MAJOR crush on him as well. I love him and everything he stands for. I could watch his documentary Everything in Between every day! I am just reminded that I need to buy his book! I am totally rooting for him to do well in the NFL and shut all the critics up!

It sounds like another curse of the Heisman trophy curse. Do any of the winner of it ever do very well in the NFL?

 

[Princess Dolly]

Both!

I agree. He's worshipped or hated and not much between.

I think he was let down by the coaching staff at his college and the Broncos.

He does not currently have the mechanics to be a professional level quarterback. He will be made the scapegoat for the Broncos poor management and play this year and sent out the door.

What about:

Doak Walker
Paul Hornung
Roger Staubach
O.J. Simpson
Tony Dorsett
Earl Campbell
Marcus Allen
Barry Sanders
Charles Woodson

Carson Palmer... maybe.

Mark Ingram, Jr. - too soon to tell.
Cam Newton - too soon to tell.

 

[GoofyBaseballMom26]

Well, since you asked... I think he is highly overrated.. talked about WAY TOO MUCH by sports commentators. I also think he is a crybaby...

Sorry, that not very impressive considering how long they have been doing the since the mid 1930?

You should see the clip of him working out on Youtube.

Well, you asked if ANYONE has done well. Those were the Hall of Famers. I'm sure you could list others, like Jim Plunkett, Herschel Walker, Doug Flutie, Bo Jackson, Vinny Testaverde.

I don't think Doug Flutie would be someone I would be consider a great NFL player
