Not too mention humble enough to play at the level you are capable of playing at in an effort to improve enough to someday reach your dream, rather than refusing to accept a demotion and insisting upon playing only at the highest level or nothing at all. I'm not a Kurt Warner fan but Tebow would be well advised to be humble enough to try and take the same route to NFL success that Warner was willing to go through.
Why should he follow Kurt Warner's path? Let him do it the way he wants. It doesn't hurt anyone but him if he doesn't make it. He doesn't need the money, he already has the fame. He's already won an NFL playoff game. Seems ridiculous to me that people think he "needs" to go to the Arena Football League to prove himself when he already proved he can win in the NFL.
It's not a demotion, because the AFL is not the minor league of the NFL. There is no affiliation between the organizations. The Patriots did not send him down to AAA football. It's nowhere near an analogous situation.
If Tebow wants to refuse to play in the AFL, that's his choice alone to make, and I am very surprised that people want to say he is selfish or not humble for that choice. There are other ways to improve besides playing in the AFL. Most free agent QBs just wait around until someone calls. It is the rare exception that joins the AFL. I don't have statistics, but I doubt there are many NFL playoff game winning QBs that went to the AFL after getting released.
