Oh and I agree with almost everything Dane has said in this thread. I don't bet against guys who REALLY love the game, have a passion and desire to win more than anything else in the world, and have incredible work ethics. Those are the guys that end up being your greatest players regardless of skill set.
Steve Largent wasn't fast, wasn't big, had shitty measurables but the guy was Jerry Rice before Rice came along. How? Why? Same reasons that Dane is citing for Tebow. Because he had an incredible want inside to be the best and worked for it.
People can hate on Tebow because he's religious (that seems like a stupid ****ing reason to hate on a guy but to each their own) but he seems like a real decent fellow and truly loves the game. If Dwayne Bowe had Tebows work ethic and want-to, he'd be considered the best WR in the game right now. Basically, he'd be Larry Fitzgerald.
That's the difference between a guy like Bowe and Fitz. Desire and want-to. Fitz is not the most talented WR in the league from a measurables perspective at all. But he works his ass off and wants it. Tebow has that. He won't win in the NFL as a rookie, but he'll probably sit and learn a lot and take over next year. In 3 years he could be scary good. But we'll see.
