Tebowing for Boston

                Tim Tebow isn’t so much a controversies, but more of a story maker, for both the right and wrong reasons. He was the first ever Heisman winner that was home school throughout college and thanks to his very deep religious views, there is now a rule in the NCAA dubbed “The Tebow Rule”. The rule was created after Tebow wore Bible verses on his eye black, one being ‘John 3:16’, was searched 90 million in 24 hours after donning the eye black in a game.  

                Tebow was drafted 25^th overall to the Denver Broncos and played there for 2 seasons before being traded to the New York Jets. While in Denver, his talents were a bit more utilized then in New York, as Tebow was able to win a playoff game for the underdog Broncos vs. Pittsburgh in only his second NFL season. But in New York, he had only 8 passes and 32 runs, far shy from his 271 attempted passes and 122 runs. Tebow’s use as part of Jets was heavily critized, as the Jets struggled, but Coach Rex Ryan would not play him.

                I feel bad for Tebow for all he has gone through. A former Heisman winner and very capable quarterback has now had 3 teams in his first 4 seasons, as he was signed by the New England Patriots today. After making a great play or before or after the game, Tebow would go on one knee and pray, later going on the being dubbed ‘Tebowing’. SNL and other comedy satire programs did skits and pulled jokes about ‘Tebowing’, his non-playing and other jabs.

                Tim Tebow deserves his chance in the NFL, and as a backup to Tom Brady, he may finally have his chance.
