Jax should have gotten Tebow. All around better situation for all involvedComment -
Probably all the Christians buying them for themselves and their kids who are looking for a good role model and not a good NFL player. Tebow won't be much more than a backup the next few years. If he starts anytime soon, you know Denver is in huge trouble.Comment -

Mile High who knows if the air will get to this southern bible belt boyComment -
As we've mentioned once or twice, quarterback Tim Tebow's habit of openly expressing his religious beliefs could potentially rub folks the wrong way, especially in a locker room of grown men who choose to keep their beliefs to themselves, who don't share his beliefs at all, and/or who only want to hear "God bless" after they have sneezed.
We're told that Tebow already has gotten a taste of the resistance he might face at the next level.
At the Scouting Combine, the Wonderlic exam is administered to players in groups. The 12-minute test is preceded by some brief instructions and comments from the person administering the test.
Per a league source, after the person administering the test to Tebow's group had finished, Tebow made a request that the players bow their heads in prayer before taking the 50-question exam.
Said one of the other players in response: "Shut the fuk up." Others players in the room then laughed.
We're not passing judgment on this one; we're just passing along what we've heard. And it illustrates the type of challenges that could be faced by the team that drafts Tebow.
That said, some teams might embrace those challenges. The final decision will depend largely on the composition of the team, and the personalities of the coach, the G.M., and the owner.Comment -
This is a testament to the type of person Tim Tebow is. I'm not sure if he'll ever pan out, but he is definitely a great story. I hope he proves the haters wrong and has a great career.Comment -
Tebow is a winner, if he plays the team will always have a shot to win.

The Business Of Tim Tebow: How The Broncos Are Cashing In
By Matt Conner - Editor
If Tebowmania makes the NFL Playoffs, then all bets are off as to what can happen and how big the fan frenzy would be. A big business would become astronomical.

Dec 9, 2011 - Tim Tebow is good for the city of Denver. That much is true.
No matter how much credit you want to give the Broncos starting quarterback for the team's current winning streak (which for me is not that much compared to the head coach, pass rush and the running game), it's hard to deny that Tebow has been good for the Broncos in so many ways.
The obvious signs are in the stands and the standings. The Broncos have risen from a 1-4 team to first place in the AFC West, and if Tebowmania makes the NFL Playoffs, then all bets are off as to what can happen and how big the fan frenzy would be. That said, he's also been good for business. Very good. Albert Breer writes:
Here's how ridiculous it's gotten: The wife of Broncos president Joe Ellis wanted a Tebow jersey, and couldn't find one, despite having some pretty good connections at Dove Valley. As Ellis himself puts it, "It's a tough one to find."
And then, of course, earlier this week, there was the mudwrestling between CBS and NBC over the Patriots-Broncos game on Dec. 18, something that was pretty unimaginable a year ago when the team was playing out the string with an interim coach and Ellis was trying to help find direction for a franchise that had lost its way. "We'd have taken that result," he said.
"This place is on fire for Sunday," Ellis continued from his office on Thursday night. "We track the sales of our tickets on the secondary market, on the Internet -- eBay, StubHub, Ticketmaster, Razorgator. We track all of it. And this week, there are a very limited number of tickets available for purchase. And the reason, we think, is all the season-ticket holders are showing on Sunday. They're all in. That tells me that on Sunday, Sports Authority Field is gonna be electric and alive."
It's not just in Denver, either. The team's television ratings are up 18-20 percent from this point last year, and while the Broncos have a sellout streak that stretches back to 1970 officially, they have seen a boost in premium seating and suite sales. And while Ellis wants to spread the credit, he's well aware of the buzz the guy who wears No. 15 is generating.
This all leads to a very important point for every team to consider when watching the Broncos and their rise in several categories. Kansas is learning this (and will continue to do so) with their hiring of Charlie Weis as the new Jayhawks head coach. It's something that the Kansas City Chiefs need to put into practice for the sake of their own quarterback quandary.
If the Chiefs announce that Matt Cassel is coming back next year as the starter with Tyler Palko and Stanzi backing him up, they're missing out on the chance to generate some real numbers -- not just wins on the field (although that is to be debated, I'm sure) but the chance to generate some other numbers off of the field (not to be debated). The reason a fan base wants Scott Pioli to reach out and grab the next great quarterback of the future isn't just a random hope for greatness but a chance to get excited again. And that sells even if the product on the field isn't that pretty to watch at first.

Playoffs and he is a legendComment -
I'd do almost anything for a Tebow jersey. My team is the Saints, maybe I can get a Saints Tebow jersey. That would be neat.Comment
