It wouldn't make sense for anyone to call me a hater given my favorite college team. As for others, look no further than the accusations of bigotry in this and other threads when there wasn't any bigotry even remotely taking place.
It also wouldn't make sense to call you a hater because you haven't engaged in "hating" that I am aware of.
I still have yet to see any example of a person being attacked or called out for criticizing Tebow. I've asked repeatedly for anyone to provide examples and it has yet to be done.
As for criticism, here's a first hand camp report on Tebow from Joker:
http://www.patsfans.com/new-england...-four-monday-july-29-a-page2.html#post3498758
Saw a lot...really, really got good looks at a lot of different players. Let's just say, for you Tebowers, that the jury is still out but it doesn't look good. His reads are molasses like and he has a real problem on throws to his right. It's accuracy. He does not have consistent accuracy and in this offense a QB needs THAT more than anything else. He's got a lot of work ,and I mean a real lot of work, to do for him to stick. Tunes is much harsher in his assessment as I'm sure you'll read.
That's far from being a glowing report blowing sunshine up anyone's butt. In fact, it's pretty critical.
Guess what ? No one attacked him for it in any way.
Here's another from the same thread by 50-yard-line:
Tebow...what can I say? Watching him deliver the ball...his mechanics are all over the place. Next to Brady and Mallet, it's like the difference between an infielder and an outfielder. A guy like Iglesias gets the ball out so fast, you blink and think you've missed something. And it goes like hell. Outfielders usually have this huge running windup before they unload - yeah, that's Tebow.
He made some really great throws. He's very good with a guy coming back over the middle at 15+, particularly running right to left. His sideline and fades, not so much. And he gets into these places where it looks like he just blanks and starts running around. His decision-making simply isn't there yet; he seems to get caught between "throw it!" and "tuck it and run!" and all the time, the clock keeps ticking.
Again, hardly a flattering report, but yet no criticism or attacks on the poster.
Tune's writeup:
* Tebow just can't muster consistency with his mechanics. They're perfect when he's playing catch before practice, become erratic while throwing in drills and then go AWOL against a defense. I think at this point what we're seeing with this guy is what you're going to get, which is non-NFL caliber QB play. Held his own at punt protector, though.
Yet again, a critical review, but no attacks calling him a hater . I did comment in another thread that I disagreed with Tune wrt this being Tebow's ceiling.
Then there are those who will not be named, who instead of offering criticism, throw out a bunch of outlandish BS.
Here's a point to chew on. If it were only us Tebow supporters pointing this kind of stuff out, then others could say that we are showing our own biases or what have you.
BUT< the fact of the matter is that there are long time Pats supporters, guys who appear to not care one way or the other about Tebow who have come out and been just as critical of those posters and have called them out on it as well.
That's rather telling in my opinion.
