Speechless, will there ever be another person in such a bigger position to walk in his shoes in college football ? Tim Tebow could very much be granted into sainthood. The only thing he does not do is walk on water, and the NFL scouts question if he can play quarterback in the National Football League. The NFL scouts feel that his arm action is to long and it takes to long for him to release the football. Amazing how they can judge an athlete that has put up rediculous statistics, won two National BCS Championships, Heisman Award winner and broke pleanty of records from passing to rushing the football. But maybe the NFL has to look at this from a differant angle, maybe they need a few good men like Tim drafted in the league. This is where kids can finally start to look up at our atletes again, rather than hearing about drugs, domestic disputes and the latest two NBA players for the Washington Wizards having guns drawn in the locker room.
Where do you begin when they mention Tim Tebows name, I would have to speak about what he has accomplished off the football field. We are talking about a 22 year old college kid that through his mothers pregnancy was recommended that she have an abortion due to trauma his mother experienced during her term. Sounds to me he was put on this earth as a miracle baby that turned into a saint. What 22 year old phenom goes overseas to donate hundreds of hours to helping those less fortunate. Born in the Philippines where his parents where on a missionary, to being home schooled this was far from a boy who was going to play for The University of Florida. Was it fate? Where he choose Florida over The University of Alabama where him and Urban Meyer would have a father son relationship and be a Hollywood story. Some of your film legends could not have scripted this Disney story any better than how this played out.
The world stop breathing this year when Kentucky Wildcats defensive end Taylor Wyndham unleashed an monster hit that gave Tebow a concussion and sidelined him for two weeks. But with all the prayers and support Tim Tebow came back with avengence and won the next eight games before losing to an dominating Alabama Crimson Tide Football team. This game was for the SEC Championship game and unfortunately for Florida fans this was a tough loss to swallow. The Gators slipped from number 1 in the BCS poll to number 5 and getting a slot to play an undefeated Cincinnati Bearcats team that was abandoned by there head coach Brian Kelley that jumped ship to take the head coaching position at Notre Dame. The Bearcats were undefeated again this season and won the Big East to only be the next victim to the Gators 51-24.
So the story ends like a tear jerker in Hollywood, farewell to Mr. GOD Tebow. You have achieved an unthinkable status in the hearts of millions. You will be missed on Saturdays in the Swamp but your legacy there will always be remembered to possibly go down as the greatest gator of all time. For the state of Florida including the governor Charlie Christ they all hope he stays and plays for the sunshine state. Will he play quarterback ? This is up to Tim if he can prove the scouts wrong. But the bottom line is he will play some where whether its on the gridiron or in game of life making an impact either way. Thanks Tim Tebow.
