Does Ryan Tannehill flash Tim Tebow "like" intangibles?

Plenty of football players are as Christian as Tebow. A significant number, even. Tebow is more in people's face about it though. Some people like that, some people that rubs the wrong way. I happen to be in the latter category. I could go on but I'm not trying to stir up that pot this evening.

When I said people hated Tebow I meant from a football perspective, not a personal perspective. No fan on this team wanted to touch him with a 10-foot pole when the Broncos were shopping him. There's a reason for that, that's all I meant.

Why couldn't you separate the negatives from the positives? You couldn't discern the point of the thread, huh? You just had to bring in all this outside BS, and for what? It wasn't relevent to this post at all! Why bring it into the discussion? If you had read carefully, I stated if you would put Tebow's inability to throw the football aside, etc... And why try and tarnish the guy's faith, in a football related topic?

NOT AS A PASSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But just for a brief moment if we can compare the two -- who would seemingly be the future of the Dolphins/Jets rivalry -- it's quite interesting the similarities that are shared. Both were 1st round draft picks considered by the media to be "developmental type players", or "reaches" not worthy of their selected spots. They both are versatile athletic guys running with the football. And they show that uncanny natural leadership with the ability to motivate their teammates. Also they both stepped into an organization with huge expectatons of replacing Hall of Fame QB's respectfully. And to be honest, both are pretty decent people.

Now if you will, take out Tebow's passing inefficiencies and allow me to simply pose a question to you all. I hear this talk about how Ryan will eventually be the starter around mid-season or so. So that gets me wondering, do you guys think Tannehill is capable in his rookie campaign to replicate the success Tim was able to achieve in his?

Thanks, and please don't flame me.

Why not. Tebow went 1-2 in the three games he started as a rookie to end the 2010 season.

Interesting that you choose to chastise me, not the poster who ACTUALLY brought up the issue of his religion. :rolleyes2: How is it tarnishing his faith to say that his ostentatious display of religion rubs me the wrong way? I'm entitled to my opinion. I'm not judging him for his beliefs, I'm judging him for the way he imposes his beliefs onto the lives of others.

You asked me to put aside his inability to throw the football. I think that's an absolutely asinine request, because it's inherently tied to playing the position of QB with leadership and confidence, and it affects the confidence those around him have in him. When charisma and leadership stem from skill, it's called confidence. When they don't, it's called arrogance. You can't sift through the personality traits of Tebow and ask us if Tannehill reflects certain handpicked qualities that you deem worth of starting a thread.

Oh, and when you ask for people's opinion, you can't get mad just because they disagree with you. You asked.
 
I love the people who say they root for him because he's a Christian-- Yeah, he's a Christian, and I'd feel very comfortable in saying that, at a minimum, 90% of the people who have ever played in the NFL identify as Christian. But I guess it only counts if you're a right-wing fundamentalist Christian.
