I think the Tebow-lovers had a lot of influence on the "most hated" results. They weren't able to vote Tebow on the "most liked" list due to there being an abundance of Tebow-haters who balanced it out for him. However, the guys who generally made the Tebow-lovers' "most hated" list are guys that have conflicted with him in some way or another, whether it be playing time (Orton) or in the media (Quinn). Tebow lovers were all sorts of butt-hurt when Quinn made those comments in a magazine interview where he stated that Tebow did not come off as very humble to him. To fuel things even more, Tebow made some sniping comments that were obviously pertaining to Quinn. I think that is why Quinn made the list. Here are the quotes:
Quinn on Tebow: "If you look at it as a whole, there's a lot of things that just don't seem very humble to me. When I get that opportunity, I'll continue to lead not necessarily by trying to get in front of the camera and praying but by praying with my teammates, you know?"
Tebow on Quinn: "I had a teammate at Denver who played the same position as me and he went to the University of Notre Dame. He would brag about his university, how great it was. Most of us in the locker room were like, 'C'mon, we all had opportunities. We chose not to go there.' ... But he talked so much about his university that it became easy. I'd say, 'Your whole team had one guy who ran under a 5.0 40 [yard dash]. Our kicker ran under 5.0.'"
