Ok…this is exactly what I didn’t want to happen, but it had to be mentioned at some point since UT through it out there. This is never going to end, so lets please drop it.
The bottom line with Tebow is, (white, black, green, or whatever) is he won more than anyone else. FACT. So based off of that he deserves at least a shot. That is what I said in the first place. To refute the Leftwich point…didn’t he get a shot? Tavaris got a shot, didn’t do anything and now the Vikings will wait on a senior citizen as a better option. Tavaris could be the best QB in the world, but he hasn’t shown anything, and Tebow at least deserves that.
Looking back, guys like Jeff Garcia, Kurt Warner, Doug Flutie and even Steve Young (at one point) had issues with something and couldn’t play in the NFL. They all ended up being pretty good. That is the only point I’m trying to make. UT, I’m sorry that I don’t view you or Mel Kiper (who said that JaMarcus Russel was going to be a super star, btw) as the know-all-end-all on NFL talent. He should at least get a shot.
Let’s stop with the black this vs. white that argument…it’s like pissing into the wind, it’s not going to accomplish anything.
