As you can tell, this is an old article, as this is far from breaking news anymore, and I am sure you read that the story was posted on September 28th. As a well educated commenter, and blog reader, I am also sure you took the time to read the prior post to this one, as well as the part two follow up. My opinion on Tebow? Yeah, he is a good guy. He has no doubt set records are Florida, and will go down as one of the top quarterbacks to ever play the college game. No one can take that away from him. However, look at the history of Gators superstars that flop in the NFL..Danny Wuerffel, Reidel Anthony, Jacquez Green, Elijiah Williams, Terry Jackson, Chad Jackson, Chris Leak, Chris Doering...all great in blue and orange...but what did they ever do at the next level? UF has a history of having GREAT college football players, but marginal pros at best. Hopefully, this changes with the Urban Meyer era...but looking at the overall history of the program, it would lead one to believe that Tebow would flop like the rest. I personally, hope he doesnt. I think he is a great role model for children, and we sure do know the NFL needs that...I just don't know if he will do it as a QB...maybe a safety or tight end.

Hmm, same IP address, same fear of using your real name to post your opinion. How spineless you are. Really...create a second fake account to reaffirm what you said in your first post? What a very mature thing to do. I am sorry I wasted my time replying to both comments. Should have noticed the misspells and bad grammar in both comments a common theme. Enjoy your day. When you are ready to stop posting behind fake accounts, an give your opinions as YOU rather than on the accounts you created to reaffirm each other...you let me know :-) Oh wait, so I get it now…Jump and Norm…you are the SAME person.

So yeah, I do have some background with it. No one is raging other than you. You seem to be really upset for some reason. Sorry that my blog post about Tebow offended you and the "bromance" you may have for him. Take the time to read the other posts on this page, without your "emotion" clouding your judgment and you will see that I don't think Tebow is a bad guy, I just don't think he will be a QB on the next level...and that is okay. Hell, read this comment thread and you would have seen that. When you post a comment on a page, you really should read ALL sides before acting in an overly emotional way. That shows insecurity.

SO, perhaps a lesson in grammar is needed:

Disdain:a feeling of contempt for someone or something regarded as unworthy or inferior
Distain:Middle English disteynen, from Anglo-French desteindre to take away the color of, from de- + teindre to dye, from Latin tingere to wet, dye

So no, I am not "taking color" away from Tebow, I am saying that MY OPINION is that he will not make it in the NFL as a QB.

Who do you think will be mentioned in the NFL's rookie of the year, for 2009?..Will it be Percy Harvin, or Louis Murphy? -Who leads the NFL in Rushing yards?...Must be that one guy from Ohio State huh? Don't worry, next year you can hate on some other popular College player, and hopefully the rest of the fans that hate that player/team will join in with you and tell you how right you are!....Then, when the fans of that player (and team) chime in that your're an idiot, you can say they are only doing that because they are "emotional"! -What a great system you'll have.

Yeah, he was sack a bunch! Really, Tebow can't be a Pro because he hasn't been HIT?...That really is part of your "distain" for him? Gheesh, you need site Hits from Hater fans THAT BAD? Give me a break, dude has played with a broken hand, ahs said "Nice hit" to a many number of defenders who tackled him after HE RAN THE BALL!...but no, you're spot on here, in that he needs to learn (per YOU) whow to take a hit. What a clown you are! Good luck with your "anti-Tebow" campaig. Oh, and saying a College QB wont make it at the Pro level,, WOW!...there's a cutting edge challenge, eh? How many HAVE failed!...Oh, wait, by your accounts, only Gator Football players fail!...Sorry, must be my emotions cloudy my judgement! ...Clown-act!
