Thank God Tebow beat the bears.

So...people hate him because he never says anything to give them a legitimate reason to hate him?

I'm starting to think a bit like Harvey. I think people hate him because he expresses his faith 24/7, instead of for 1 hour a week in church like many of them do.

Yes, he's all good all the time... and that annoys people.

Yup! And Tebow's a pretty good fantasy play!

Still rooting for him. He's a great story.

I'm not sure this is centered around religion even if it appears to be. Fact of the matter is that Tebow was not "supposed" to succeed. As Max said, he was supposed to be middle round talent, and yet here he is and he's winning games and he's not "supposed" to be. He's a vocal Christian so many can use this as an excuse to not like him for whatever reason they can identify for it to make them uncomfortable. Me, I don't care one way or another. I didn't care when Reggie was a vocal Christian, when he praised God for healing his injuries quickly, or holding prayer circles before and after games. It was expected and his on-field performance somehow justified it. Apparently, Tebow's somehow does not. My only annoyance is the difficulty in getting away from it and from him. If they'd say their piece and shut up about it, I'd be perfectly fine because I don't watch everything he says and does.

That said, the article was a work of art.

Perhaps he was "suppose" to be middle round talent......and to be honest I thought he was too. With that being said, if you were watching the draft and flipping back between the NFL Network and ESPN report were everywhere that BOTH the Broncos and Bills were trying to move up into round one to draft Tim Tebow. Some teams viewed him much higher than middle round talent. Some teams eliminated him from their boards. I think most thought he was going between the end of round two to round three.

I think the majority of the hate is all about the faith aspect.

Me too. This can't continue long term, but it'll screw up Denver's draft position this year, and the team for years to come! YAY! I hate the Broncos more than the Bears... GO TEBOW! lol

[pbmax]

PB- You can not like Tebow for any reason you like but you have to love him for beating(helping beat?) da bears!

I am rooting for him to succeed. Beating the Bears is just a bonus.

Best of all, I want that offense to succeed, whoever is at QB. Given that his number of throws is increasing in the last two games, I am left wondering what exactly they wish to do though.

THAT is some SERIOUS Machiavellian Schadenfreude........ Not that there is anything wrong with that.........

[King Friday]

I'd love a rematch of SB32...bring it on Tebow!

[Harlan Huckleby]

You always hear theories about why people hate Tebow. Is this hatred a myth? Who in this forum hates him? I don't like the guy because he seems preachy, but can't imagine too many people getting worked up over such a bland guy.

While it's not really interesting, it's still a curiosity to me to wonder how a Packer fan gets to the point where they dislike the Broncos more than the Bears. I don't want to know the reason - please don't respond - I just think it's curious circumstance.

I'd say about 75% love him and 25% hate him. About the same percentage as how people classify their religious affilation in this country. The hate is there, but this run is unbelievable. It's like the '89 Cardiac Pack.

[Freak Out]

I like the Broncos.....I don't really care about Tebow one way or another but he seems like a nice guy with a great attitude.

I'd love a rematch of SB32...bring it on Tebow!

What a crazy game that would be.
