Remember Finebaum saying last year that he was the greatest talent since our Lord and Savior Tim Tebow himself?

And even Tebow was a stud in college and won crucial games.

That's an understatement. Dude has a heisman and 2 Nattys

Yeah, Tebow was one of the best college players of all time regardless of how his pro career turned out (And his pro career wasn't as much of a flop as the Terrell Pryor/Johnny Manziel's of the world)

Tebow is a playoff winning QB.

That’s better than most QBs who enter the league

Tebow was amazing in college but there have been plenty of QBs that were awesome in college that couldn’t play at an NFL level. Another Florida QB, Danny Wuerffel, comes to mind.

And that stupid fucking playoff win (and I say this as a born and raised Bronco fan).

He wasn’t the starter on one of the natty’s. Chris Leak was the senior starter in 2006. Tebow was a goal line gimmick QB his freshman year. Tebow contributed but they don’t win the title that year without Leak.

I know Chris Leak was the starter. Tebow was still a key tool in the offense.

In before Arch tells me that through Christ and a deposit of $10 000, I too can become a stock market Wiz.
