Tim Tebowitis

I have noticed that the majority of comments from users about Tim Tebow on blogs and forums (where public opinion is really formed) are negative. With this draft lacking a healthy or participating skill player near the top, Tebow has become its focus and that has caused some backlash (or Cushlash if that is more appropriate).

From my prospective, Tim Tebow’s wide ranging draft stock, views on faith, and undeniable leadership and character is giving this draft what it needs:  a story that brings in extreme viewpoints. Few people will sit around and debate the pedigree or selection of Ndamukong Suh or Gerald McCoy. What they will do is discuss Tim Tebow regardless of where he is selected in the NFL draft.

When you have a person who is a quarterback, religious figure, and an anointed head figure rolled up into one , the media has a gold mine. It’s like having Brett Favre, the Pope, and George W. Bush rolled up into one. Make no mistake, Tim Tebow will continue to use this media coverage to get his viewpoints across and the media will continue to eat it up until the real season kicks off.

So love them or hate them, figures like Tim Tebow will dominate the big time football media as long as we continue to love them or hate them.
