Holy Christmas, I must'of took a wrong turn at Albuquerque and woke up in the Tim Tebow #1 Fan Forum.
LOL, Gotta agree.
Not sure what happened that all the rookie TT fans massed in one thread.
I like TT, think he gets a bum rap from the mass media, and 80% of fans because of the media over-playing his christian stuff, and think he can be a good EXTRA part of the overall team.
But, other than the reports about TT being his recruiting visit sponsor; I have read NO EVIDENCE that TT played any serious part in mentoring, corralling, motivating AH during their time at Florida.
Everything that has been written suggested that the Asst Coach (whose name I can't remember) who became his surrogate Dad was the one who kept him in check.
All the articles I read said they didn't have much to do with each other because of the age difference (4 years) and maturity level difference (15 years). They just had DIFFERENT INTERESTS (one: christianity, football, school // the other: football as a means to Drinking, women, drugs, & fame; and then also thuggery).
And as far as that and his ON-Field Leadership somehow being BETTER THAN TB (you have got to be kidding ).
As far as his OFF-Field Leadership ---
that same Christian Role-model thing he has going will work well WITH THOSE WHO ARENT PUT OFF BY IT. The vast majority of professional football players would in fact be put off by it (if he was over-the-top-proselytizing instead of just playing the role-model). And a guy like AH was not going to be adjusting his way-of-life just based "on one of the other 53 guys I see 4-hours a day 5-6 days a week lives a christian lifestyle." TT would have to be actively involved in being a 'BIG BROTHER' and sorry I don't see how TT would have time for that as a professional athlete & adult with his own life.
- maybe as a college athlete he might have the time if they lived in same dorm/vicinity - but I again dispute that it was ever that way in FL - I have read NOTHING to indicate that.
