Two weeks ago, Tim Tebow was on top of the world. He scored his first career regular season NFL touchdown. Now? Not so much. The Broncos not only lost a heart-breaker two weeks ago to the Jets, they followed it up with the most pathetic performance in team history. The Oakland Raiders are the enemy. Always have been. So there is no excuse for the Broncos to get shredded 59-14. Where does Tebow fit into all of this? Well he did not step on the field against the Raiders, though he probably should have in the fourth quarter. Tebow's job as the backup quarterback is to A) learn from Kyle Orton, and B) provide relief or other opportunities. He was not given such opportunity. That falls on Josh McDaniels and a blog for another day.
So what does this have to do with religion? This whole experience is trying for Tebow and after the tongue-lashing McD probably gave the team, faith remains his rock. On his website he Tweeted, "Thanks so much for the kind words of encouragement! You have no idea how much it means to me! BTW, meet my new best friend, Bronco!" Ok, obviously there is no religious statement here. However, the first comment made by a fan was from the Bible and struck me. Tebow's following looks to him for support just as much as he does them and no matter where his profession takes him, Tebow will always be there for people. It is rather inspirational that he has this effect on people.
Tebow's new best friend is a dog, BTW.
