NFL Draft Dansby sees God working through Tebow - Page 5

Quesadilla Joe · 12-06-2011, 05:54 PM

Many athletes who believe in God believe that God has a hand in their on-field exploits. Many athletes and non-athletes who believe in God believe that’s a lot of bunk, because it implies that God for whatever reason wants to make the opponents lose and/or look foolish.

As I said in the very first item I ever wrote about football for an Internet-based publication, God has far bigger things to worry about than who wins and loses sporting events.

But I respect the opinions of those who believe otherwise. And Dolphins linebacker Karlos Dansby believes that God is working through Tim Tebow.

Dansby, whose Dolphins were the first victims of Tebowmania, told Jim Rome today that he and other members of the team saw Godliness in Tebow’s stunning comeback from a 15-point deficit in the fourth quarter.

“Us losing to Tim Tebow the way we did, we seen it first hand,” Dansby said on Rome’s radio show. “Young man is blessed. Young man has a special anointing on him. And for God to show himself in that game the way He did, through the guy He did it through, it opened a lot of guys’ eyes on our team. And it brought a lot of guys closer to God, so like I said, everything happens for a reason. . . . My hat goes off to Tim. And God working through him like that, it opened up a lot of eyes. He’s a blessed young man and I wish him much success the rest of his career.”

If guys truly believe that, Tebow will be a magnet for certain free agents. If they believe God is working through Tebow and if that means God will be helping his team win games, why wouldn’t they want to play with Tebow?

I actually sent this to a couple of coworkers and put in the subject "It's a Miracle". I stated nothing about Jesus and they got pissy with me. I told them they were the ones who saw it. I just put the picture there.

We have been using less and less option as the weeks have went on. We probably ran the option 5-8 times against Minnesota and 3 of them were playaction passes. Teams have already figured out how to stop it, now Denver is calling plays to counter what teams are doing to stop it and are getting big plays out of it.

Yeah. Tebow has been getting NO media coverage. I've never even heard of him, actually.

If a guy like Tamba Hali played QB, people would love him just as much as they love Tebow.

The Donks have a pretty good defense & an amazing ability this year to bring the crappy teams they have faced down to they're level of suck.
Thats all it is IMO

Pasta Little Brioni · 12-07-2011, 03:56 PM

So, instead of blaming his and the rest of the defenses play to letting them comeback...he attributes it to "god". How convenient.

I'm thinking they've played a week ass schedule and will be exposed the first time the play a decent team.
