"Look everyone hated and mocked Tebow because he did not hide his Christianity and that really makes a lot of people angry."
No, most people could not care less about Tebow. Most people were just tired of his obnoxious, delusional fans. The issue was not that he did not hide his Christianity, it was that he sucked and his fans refused to admit it. They wanted to pretend that he was somehow being picked on. This is because, despite being the overwhelming majority in America (and in the NFL) Christians never tire of pretending to be persecuted.
"He didn't force any of it to anyone."
Who claimed he did? And so what?
"He did not kneel down or raise his fist." No, he didn't. That would take a tremendous amount of courage and sacrifice. Instead, he did something that the overwhelming majority in America agrees with. What a brave man.
"It was right for him. After a game he prayed in solitude and not to gain attention, but the media focused on that as being divisive."
Whether he intended to draw attention to himself or not (and we disagree on that) is irrelevant. The fact is, he did. Had he been a good QB, it would not have mattered.
"Yet, he was and is a laughing stock. The kid was unconventional for sure but he won games including a play off."
If by unconventional, you mean he was inaccurate, was terrible at reading a defense and had a slow release, I agree- he was unconventional. A more honest way of phrasing it, would be that he sucked. Do you seriously think stinking up the joint for 3 and 3/4 of the game while your defense keeps you in it and pulling off one drive to save the team from yourself constitutes winning games? This can't be serious.
"There were a lot of people that played QB in the NFL with talent on his level. Jeff Garcia won a lot of games. Mike Vick was a good running QB. Passer? Not so much. How many of us cheered Flutie?"
No, there weren't. Now you have just lost your damned mind. Not a single one of the people you mentioned was anything but vastly superior to Tebow. Vick wasn't a great passer. But he was a hell of a lot better than Tebow. And he was a much better runner. Plus he was better at torturing dogs. Jeff Garcia made four All Pro teams. Just stop embarrassing yourself. And Doug Flutie? He could have lost his throwing arm and sight in one eye and he still would have been miles better than Tebow. Hell, why not just throw Brady and Montanna in there while you are at it? Meanwhile, over here in reality, Tebow was one of the worst QBs the NFL has ever seen and still got 4 different chances, far more than a prospect with similar skills would have gotten if not for his fan base. The greatest coach in NFL history couldn't turn him into a respectable backup. It is well past time for you Tebow fanatics to wake up. At this point it is just sad. It reminds me of the people who think the Earth is flat.
"When you have a Nate Peterman and Tom Savage staring and Mike Glennon being a sought after QB....why not Johhny?"
I'm not a GM, but I'm going to guess it's because you don't have to worry about one of those other guys poisoning your locker room or getting sloshed and wrapping their car around a tree during the bye week.
"If BB could deal with Tebow, Haynesworth, Dillion and the evil side of Randy Moss, if you can have Manziel to agree to be tested EVERY DAY!!!, we gave that plague on society Tebow a try out, why not Manziel?"
Tebow was a favor to MCDaniels. Haynesworth, Dillon and Randy Moss were massive talents with huge upside. Manziel is not and comes with more baggage.
