Without a doubt Tim Tebow is a major lightening rod and strangely enough, a polarizing one at that.

And I wonder why.

In Tebow we see a man of strong faith and spiritual conviction. He willingly accepts blame and enthusiastically distributes credit. He lacks prototypical NFL quarterback talent yet he continually finds a way to get the job done in Denver and is 7-1 as a starter.

So what’s wrong with that?

Why aren’t we as Americans universally behind Tim Tebow?

This great country of ours has been built upon overachievers pursuing a dream. Why then can’t a winning quarterback be built the same way? And how Tebow wins today doesn’t necessarily mean that he plans on winning the same way in the future. By his own admission he is a work in progress – one who I might add is progressively working!

The hate makes no sense – unless of course the strength of Tebow’s faith leaves those who lack such convictions feeling a bit insecure.

But his faith should be inspiring not intimidating. Driven by faith Tebow will be a great teammate; an outstanding role model for children; and for the doubters it will propel his work ethic providing the fuel to enable him to reach his fullest potential.

Anyone who hates THAT has issues.

If you aren’t inspired to root for Tim Tebow, you are simply uninspirable.

I have no idea where it will end for Tebow. Conventional thinking suggests his bubble will burst at some point. Actually I tend to agree with that yet I hope he proves me wrong.

In the meantime, count me among those who will cheer him on throughout his journey hoping that his bubble survives. Unless of course along the way there's an encounter with the Baltimore Ravens.
