- Tim Tebow was one of the most polarizing players in NFL history. For the Florida Gators he was one of the best quarterbacks in college football history, but after just 3 years in the NFL his career was over. This is truth behind the rise and fall of Tim Tebow.

The crazy part with Tebow is that the Jaguars signed him to be a tight end after he hadn't played football in a decade, and somehow, that isn't even in the top 25 craziest things that Urban Meyer did as head coach of the Jags that season
Lmaooooo I know when you think about Urban Meyer with the Jags Tebow doesn’t even get brought up bc of all the other wild stuff 😂😂
it really wasn't that crazy. it was a swing in the dark. it didn't work.
I was at the one and only game he played that preseason. Everyone (because it was Jacksonville, I was working at the game) had his jersey. And he didn’t do well. Like, at all. But people went nuts for him.
@@str8jazPublicity nothing else
Totally read this in your voice 😂
I have a buddy that bet me $1,000 that Tebow would win a Super Bowl before the end of his career.
I still send him pictures of things that I want to buy with the thousand dollars that he owes me. 😂😂😂😂😂
He never paid? Get that money!!!
@@ryanhenson609 I don't think Tebow officially retired from the football so he can still play. Unlikely but I'm "saying there's a chance . . ."
Send him to debt collections
You better hope you outlive Tebow.
He wasn't allowed to even have a football career. If he had that opportunity, I believe that he would have at least one Lombardi.
Skip Bayless made the Tim Tebow era almost insufferable. SAS and others tried hard asf to convince Skip that Tebow can’t throw the football but Skip kept drinking the Kool aid
He can’t sling the football like Thomas Edward Patrick Brady
Tebow could have been a good back up for any NFL team ~ But Timmy wanted to be selfish and start ~ NFL stands for "Not For Long"!!!
@@KingNewJersey how would you make a good backup, he sucked
?? He was a backup. He sucked doing that. Nothing against the kid but could not have a real career in the NFL as a practice squad member much less a backup
He may not have had a good career, but the 2011 Broncos bringing down the Steelers felt like an act of God.
The 316 game.
Then the Patriots washed them out of the playoffs like Noah's flood.
Since 2010...70% of 1st round QB draft picks become career backups.
@@pigdroppings I mean there is no better job in the planet than backup QB in the NFL. You earn millions of dollars to do fuck all, it's great. I wouldn't mind being a backup at all.
@@mrtchadd The Patriots with Brady were the true "Chosen One", Tim Tebow was a false prophet of a lesser god.
That playoff win will never be forgotten
I agree. I feel like it's kind of overshadowed by the 4 Peyton Manning years later though.
that play was so iconic
It's one game
I was with Mel Kiper, Tebow was a terrible QB who willed wins at the last minute. Many of the last minute receptions were acrobatic feats by Demaryius Thomas because the ball sailed or behind him. Why were they close enough to clutch it out? Great Defense, who's play got overshadowed by the Tebow mania.
@@JDay-j8zok and?
Tebow was tough, dedicated and an absolute leader. People knew throughout his college career that his passing skills would not take him far in the pros, but neither Urban Meyer nor any other Florida coach helped him improve for the simple reason that Tebow at his existing skill level most probably meant that he would at least one championship for Florida, and "messing with" his skills by training him to improve would likely interfere with that. Still, nobody ever doubted his commitment, dedication and game leadership qualities.
Tebow had to take the SAT twice to get a score high enough to even be accepted at Florida. Tebow isn't smart, but you can't expect someone to be smart who was homeschooled like he was.
i would never follow in a serious way anyone that is bringing there religion to the table on the field or at work. You can believe in and praise God in your own time, i'm here to get things done.
@@LdyVder Your last statement is ridiculous about children who are homeschooled.
@@jb6879 Agree completely. My connection to God is my business. Same with you and yours. If we want to have a conversation about it a church is a good place, not a football field, or school (unless Bible school).
RIP Demaryius Thomas❤️
Tragic....
WE love DT!!
Genuinely tragic passing. Way way too young.
No question. Do a video for DT, Lauren! 🙏
One of my favorite Broncos 🧡 #Godspeed
I saw this man from behind. I thought to myself, "Damn, this guy is huge!" He turns around a make eye contact. I said to him "Your Tim Tebow?!" He replied, "Yes sir I am". We shook hands. Wished him luck on making tight end for Jacksonville. He thanked me and went on his way.
pause...
Neat I guess.
I don’t care what his stats were as a Broncos fan I always felt we had a chance to win when he was in the game. He reinvigorated a franchise that Josh McDaniels single handedly made crumble to the ground and provided us with one of the most iconic playoff victories of all time. I will always remember and be grateful for that Tebow year.
Thank the defense for always keeping it close and the weapons on offense for getting it done. There’s a reason Manning went to Denver. The only thing holding them back was Tebow.
We all liked the guy but what about him being a QB was good for Denver? Was all the things that made a QB good present in his game?
You guys went straight to the Super Bowl immediately after replacing him with an actual QB... I swear that insane Denver defense never gets a single ounce of credit under Tebow.
Delusion is what's it's called.
People can say what they want about him. He didn't throw the ball well or pretty..he looked to stocky to play QB...but he was a WINNER ! He was 10 - 6 as an NFL starter. There are a LOT of QB's that would love to have that winning percentage ! People didn't like him because he was an unabashed man of faith and he played the position unconventionally. I'm a Bengals fan, not a Broncos fan...but that TD pass to Demarius Thomas to beat the HATED Steelers in OT is one of my fondest memories of all time !
He wasn’t the most talented, but he may have been one of the best role models and the best leader. It’s hard to tell how much his leadership made an impact, but I firmly believe without him at the helm none of the teams that he was a part of would’ve been as cohesive. His leadership was criminally undervalued.
Religious people aren't role models. They're bigots.
You can laugh at Tebow's sad NFL career, but there's absolutely no argument that he deserves serious respect for his college career......and then trying to make a comeback in Major League Baseball.....the guy was a wonderful athlete and a competitor like no other.....being a huge fan of another SEC team I obviously didn't care fir him then, but hey, his college football resume alone guarantees that NOBODY will forget Tebow.
He never got to the MLB to make a comeback
His story is great, and he's such a good dude. He's got strong morals and I respect him for that.
I actually felt kinda bad for him during that Jacksonville preseason game when he went viral for completely whiffing on a block. I thought maybe they'd try and train him a little more to get the blocking down since he's never had that under his job description, but they cut him immediately. Basically Jacksonville brought him in to sell a few jerseys and then released him.
Helluvah collegiate career, though.
I still tease my friends who are Steelers fans 😂
I can't even imagine being a Steelers fan that day
@@SheGotSports Does that include Urinating Tree?
Blake Bortles beat the Steelers too though lol
That was a great play,DT was a wonderful Bronco, such a tragedy. Demarrious was a fine person as well, he is a well loved Bronco.
We don’t speak on the broncos and the jag losses fuck yall😂
Here in Tallahassee that man was the bane of our existence 😂
Drove thru Tallahassee a month ago, couldn't figure out if I liked the city or if thought it was a dump
i graduated from U of South Carolina so I feel your pain.
Like many players, Tebow was outstanding in college but didn’t cut it as a pro. He wasn’t the first Heisman Trophy winner to play poorly in the NFL.
Saying he is historically bad is insane. His strength was always his mentality and leadership, how he always found a way to win. He made everyone around him better, even if his individuals weren’t so hot. To say he’s historically bad is just so wrong.
For a while he looked good in Denver. They basically abandoned him to bring in Peyton Manning and never gave him a real chance to develop.
There are insidious envious dorks everywhere especially when you have faceless anonymity. Tebow wasn't great at the NFL level but he was 10,000 times greater than i would ever have been and that said I'm not envious I'm happy for the guy
He's just a religious zealot
If he always found a way to win he would have been on a team. He found a way to win a few times and then was historically bad.
@Korisnumber1man curt Warner and Reggie white were bigger zealots but they were good
He wasn't the worst ever. Jamarcus Russell or Ryan Leaf. He was drafted by a first time head coach who didn't know how to utilize him. He was a safe 3rd round pick that would spend the rest of his career as a backup.
he was hyped just like them and couldn't live up to it
yeah I agree Jamarcus or Ryan were the biggest Busts
He wasn't very good in the NFL and probably would have flamed out spectacularly had Peyton Manning not been waived by the Indianapolis Colts and became immediately available to the Denver Broncos. Even though Tim Tebow led the Broncos to an improbable playoff run despite his glaringly obvious limitations, it was a no-brainer for the Broncos to sign Peyton Manning and dump Tebow.
Tebow's athleticism was undeniable, as was his leadership. It's just sad that he was never able to prove he was an elite passer
Those two, by numbers alone were 10 times worse than Tebow. Flukes won't win ANY playoff games
I love Tebow. He played 150% every game. Most athletes could learn a lot from his competetive spirit.
Unless that player plays quarterback..Tebow had a low quarterback I.Q. He can not read a complex pro defense!
100% is max. many players had better passing skills than tebow. tebow was a marketing ploy. the nfl has interest for tebow to succeed. if lamar jackson had an entire offense designed for him, hed be the greatest player ever
@@brightestfuture He didn't in fact make it when just about everyone thought he'd have enough of that moxy to be big despite his camp stats placing him as a second-stringer - the same assessments happened with Warner and Brady, and one's the best in history and the other was **the** catch of all catches away from being the third of three to win the Bowl with two teams and the second to win it all with a 9-7 team. To Tebow's credit, he Vinced out instead of Leafed out and he left with the most iconic playoff miracle play in Broncs' history this side of Elway's helicopter run.
He strongly believes in a magic man in the sky
@@Korisnumber1man What does that have to do with anything? Almost more then half the world believes in religion lmao wtf
I remember I was in high school when “Tebowmania” was running wild. Everywhere you went it was UF everything. 👴🏼
Never bought into Tebowmania, but nobody could question his dedication and leadership. He just didn't have the skills to be an NFL QB. His fall from glory in the NFL, I blame that on, wait for it, his race. And I say that, because had he had the college career he'd had, as a black player, he would have been drafted from the start with the intention of transitioning him to be a TE or FB. Front offices would have been impressed with his athleticism and dedication...you don't lead a team to the national championship based on luck. His rookie minicamp would have had him learning those positions from day one and based on his other skills, he likely would have had success. But they drafted him to be a traditional pocket passer, even though he did not have the skills to fulfill that role.
The hype also contributed to his less than successful NFL career. He was going to be front page news wherever he went. Who knows, as a less famous prospect, he could have been drafted in the later rounds as a QB project, spending 3-4 seasons as a backup, learning the game. Things might have turned out different.
I did not know that his minor league baseball numbers were so good. Heck, he probably would have had a decent MLB career had he gone that route straight from college.
he refused to switch positions until it was too late
Tim Tebow wasn't the worst ever. If anything all of his coaches from high school to pro's failed him. As none of them ever tried to correct his throwing mechanics, and encouraged his style of play. Not to mention the NY Jets signed Tebow as a QB, but only used him as a punt protector.
Johnny Football Manziel definitely was far worse in the pros
@@Sc9cvsdyea that’s what I was thinking too
Mechanics only gets you so far. If being a pro QB was just about mechanics it would be easy. There's tons of QBs in the NFL that can throw a beautiful spiral. They can't read defenses, anticipate openings, and not panic under pressure.
I agree with you what he was doing worked, so they saw no reason to help him grow. I also think Tebow was a bit before his time. He could run a read option offense, but at the time they wanted QBs who were pocket passers first and scramblers second. He would fit more teams systems today.
@@MrCvjalexanderHis scrambling would translate. His throwing would be just as terrible regardless of era. He has the lowest comp percentage of all time lol
Georgia bulldog here. Tebow played for the gators a team we bulldogs love to hate but but I admit he had a brilliant college career!! In the NFL I believe he was treated unfairly. My man had some success and I couldn't understand the hate by the media for him. Again he from my arch rival school but I rooted for Tebow
I clicked because I wanted to hear "the truth". I think you've fairly nailed it, the only thing I'd add was a lot of people think that if TT had changed to TE earlier his story in the NFL would be different. He couldn't get His mind around changing in the early days, He really wanted to be the QB. He's such a likeable human it's hard not to root for him.
A lot of his teammates in Denver had problems with him. I think he may be a good person but necessarily wasn’t a good teammate.
Tim Tebow:
High school quarterback....check
College quarterback...check
NFL quarterback...he's not built like that 😒
For someone who was so terrible, you can’t really argue the results. He took over a 1-4 team (after his comeback after taking over at halftime of the 5th game fell short) and then took over and went 8-4 the rest of the way before winning a playoff game before losing to Tom Brady (no shame there). No one ever actually gave him the chance after that.
You can't be a quarterback--starting or otherwise--with a 46% completion percentage. So many of his throws were just brutal to see.
@@rikk319 the dude went out and won 9 of 13 games after taking over for the guy who was 1-4, and came close to leading a comeback in the fifth game he took over at half time. Bottom line is that he won games. Not sure why that didn’t matter at all in terms of at least getting a real look.
@@jmcminn1076 Because he also lost games due to his lack of ability. His heart was big, but when you have to go against the Brady Patriots you need more than heart.
@@rikk319 a LOT of QBs lost to Tom Brady. I don’t think you can hold losing to the Patriots when Brady was prime Brady against him to the point of never giving the guy another chance to win a starting job. I could literally make the exact word for word statement above but put in the context of talking about, say, Dak Presscot, and it’d be just as valid, except no one talks about Dak not having a job or being run out of the league.
@@jmcminn1076 because Dak Prescott doesn't have a career, checks notes, 47.9% cmp rate. It is even crazier that you make this comparison when you pull up both career stats on side by side screens. Dak has thrown for 29,459 yards on a 67% cmp rate. In his 2020 season where he only played in 5 games he threw for more yards than Tebow did in 2011 when he was a starter and played in 14 games. The people defending Tebow in these comments are delusional. Tebow was terrible. It is, in fact, statistically provable that Tebow was a terrible NFL quarterback. I will repeat the statement from the video, Tebow is the only Quarter back to have a completion rate at 28% or below in 2 games. The Tebow defenders are insane.
If Tebow played in the 60’s or 70’s he’d still be considered a GOAT. He was born in the wrong era. Everyone is looking for a “prototype” QB. I’d love to see an NFL where the QB’s have more varied skill sets. Aside from that, Tim is an outstanding athlete and an even better person. I’ve never understood anyone hating Tim. I hated UF and still couldn’t hate him.
They hated on that man the same way they hated on Vince young all they did was win
this is probaly the best take
You’re either “The” GOAT or not. How can you be “a” GOAT? That makes no sense whatsoever.
He knocked the Steelers out of the playoffs, saving the Super Bowl for me. I'll never forget that. That alone makes him great!!!
Meh, it was just a wild-card game, not a good team. That was his peak. As soon as he was replaced = S.B.
he was one game away from the super bowl.
That time period when Tebow was everywhere and I remember some people in my school Tebowing
The Tebow was like the "Dab" before the dab lol
@@SheGotSports your right about that
2011 was a weird year, lol. Tebow was never destined to be a HOFer, but that Linsanity run in '11 was as close as he would get. God bless the dude...seriously! Only divine intervention would make him a competent passer 🤣
@@frederickshaibani5655I think Linsanity legit happened in 2011 too lol what a time
So annoying.
I'm British and don't know anything about this sport but it sounds like he was an insanely talented sportsman playing in the wrong position...
They tried putting him other positions but he did worse there. College teams can win with a running QB but in the pros you have to be able to pass.
Tebow was the man. Incredibly athletic, had a magical run with the Broncos. They hated this man for no reason. Yeah, he wasn't a typical passer, but he was a winner.
" he wasn't a typical passer" = he didn't complete passes
He wasn't a winner. He had the best defense in the NFL and his team actually managed to score twice per game and win.
@@PackMan13x Oh, you're right. He didn't win in high school and college.
@@TheKingfisher745 How about kindergarten? Did he win any playground games?
@@mrsatire9475 Probably and an NFL playoff game and then never got another chance to start. So he won at every level and was ran out of the league. Makes perfect sense.
Got literal goosebumps listening to the "Promise" speech as a FL alum. I went to UF after Tebow left but the level of reverence for him on campus definitely didn't drop off in the following years.
He won an NFL playoff game that's more than 99% of drafted quarterbacks can say
He also had the lowest completion percentage out of any quarterback in history, so there’s that
Rex Grossman went to a superbowl and he was a bad qb. We are going to pretend that the defense and a great running game help turn the season around. Tebow was a terrible qb and im a bronco fan.
I'm not saying he's Joe namath but let's not pretend he didn't accomplish anything in his life, he did very well
He won it? Lol
The fact that he won the National Championship and was draft eligible but decided to go back for one more season in college says everything IMHO
Mel Kiper being called a draft expert is the funniest thing in this video 😂
lol yeah that’s what ESPN calls him…but yeah idk if he’s really an “expert” considering he thought Manziel should have went #1 😂😭
Kiper has always been a fraud. A stopped clock is right twice a day.
But he was tight about Tebow and many others weren’t.
@@matthewhuszarik4173 a broken clock is right twice a day.
@@austin7029 Tell me anyone who is right all the time? Whether a college’s kid can make the transition to pro-ball is just about as random as whether a High School kid becomes a good college player. In fact College Coaches seems to do a significantly better job of assessing talent.
What is the flop rate of five star High School players versus the flop rate of first round players?
ya as a football fan i already forgot about this guy
Soccer isn't football
That playoff win vs steelers was legendary
It was tim tebow time
Good video as always lauren
Thank you for taking the time to watch!
@@SheGotSports your welcome Lauren anytime
Yes, calling one playoff win anything except legendary would be criminal.
@@aheroictaxidriver3180 oof
It is not his fault. Tim Tebow should have been used in the NFL as a 'situational short yardage quarterback ' then he might have had a decent NFL career, much the way QB Chris Streveler is used. For example, if the offense is in a 'third and one' or 'fourth and one' situation, the team can pull the starting quarterback and put Tebow in specifically for that one short yardage play to get the first down or on the goal line. That is what Tebow was made for. I felt badly for him in the way his skills were misunderstood.
He didn’t want to do that. When he realized his career would end if he didn’t give up his dream of being a starting QB he decided he would try it.
Meh, not worth having on the roster
Yeah they kept trying to make him a pocket qb when he's obviously only going to be effective in the option, if at all.
JOHN ELWAY FORGOT THAT HE WAS WORSE THAN TEBOW BUT WAS GIVEN A lot OF OPPORTUNITIES
Anyone that TRULY understands the game of football they knew Tebow was NEVER going to be a successful NFL QB.... Its not even an argument.... dude was a great college QB Athlete in HS and NCAA but that wont cut it in the NFL.
@@freshnorthwest6756 to say he wasn't successful, you have to forget about his winning rookie season, which he topped with a playoff win against Big Ben and the Steelers.
@user-fr8kf5uu9y It wasn’t his rookie season and he was not very good that season. An NFL quarterback in modern times has to be able to complete 50%
@@user-fr8kf5uu9y If you call that success than i really dont know what to tell you lol he absolutely failed after that so im not sure what you are trying to get at.
Y'all looking at everything except what matters he made them better he wins games
@user-fr8kf5uu9y he didn't have a winning record and the defense won those games and plenty qb have won 5 games in a row doesn't mean they good
He could NEVER throw the ball he should have been a RB
NFL just wasn't ready for a faith based offense.
It got a belly full from Kurt Warner, and Tebow was even bolder. They straight up shut him down over his outward love for Jesus. You don't win 8 of 12 and a playoff game in your second season (first real opportunity), sell the most jerseys, draw A TON of publicity and love in miracle win after miracle win, beat the first or second best team in the NFL, and never get a chance to play again otherwise.
Well played bro, well played.
@@johnboehmer6683I hate when people use my love of sports as a cudgel to hammer me with religiosity. I wish they would keep that shit to themselves
@@joeshoe6184
If all there was to it was a religion, I would 100% agree with you Joe. But let me ask you, if Jesus really is who he said he is (of which there is abundant evidence for), and every person's eternal destination hangs in the balance of what we do with the God question, isn't it safe to say that should you end up in hell one day, that you would be at least 10 times more outraged at those who knew that he is, but said nothing?
Has it never occurred to you that these people proclaiming Jesus are merely people who have experienced something you haven't (yet)? Is it not possible that they sincerely only have your best interest at heart?
I know my words to you right now are just that, a genuine concern for a fellow sinner like me, who needs God's mercy as much as I do...and who will be overwhelmed with inexplicable euphoria on your day standing before God Almighty, and learning he lS, and that your eternity will be with him in Paradise instead. I beg you to rethink this...
@johnboehmer6683 I respect your views, but do not subscribe to them. I try to do the right thing in life simply for the sake of doing the right thing. That's good enough for me, no religious dogma necessary.
Patrick the PR guy for the Florida Gators looks at me and says, “Timmy, this is exactly three years from the time you put John 3:16 under your eyes.”
I was like, “Oh really? That’s awesome. That’s really cool.”
He says, “No, you don’t realize. During the game, you threw for 316 yards. Your yards per rush were 3.16. Your yards per completion were 31.6. The time of possession was 31.06. And the ratings for the night were 31.6. And during the game, 90 million people googled John 3:16 and it’s the number one thing on all social media right now.”
As a Broncos fan, he started a game in KC and only completed two passes…AND WON THE GAME. KC destroyed so many Broncos quarterbacks in KC. Jake Plummer lost his job after losing a game in KC. The defense had to play lights out to win that game 😂
Jesus said to pray in PRIVATE not out on the 50 yard line for millions to watch. "LOOK AT ME! LOOK HOW HOLY I AM!"
So obnoxious.
There's a lot of good NFL QBs that never won a playoff game. He was a fierce competitor and won games. That's how I'll remember him.
I can name some bad qbs that went to a superbowl. Rex Grossman went to a superbowl and Trent Dilfer won a superbowl just to name a few bad qbs. Tebow was a bad qb. Very bad. 😂 great athlete.
yes and mark Sanchez made it to the AFC championship game twice. but he did pass higher than 50 percent
He was a terrible passer, lost games and got fired. That's how I'll remember him.
The thing is, Tebow was never a bad QB. The only reason people didn’t like him, was because he threw the ball funny. 😂 When he was winning at Florida nobody mentioned his throw. But as soon as he was going to be drafted, his throw came up. Of course. I think Florida haters just jumped on the hater bandwagon and that became his legacy when he was in Denver.
College football is not NFL football. That's why he got away with it at Florida, that's why a lot of QBs get away with things in college sports (manziel, zach wilson, Jamarcus russell). Dude quite literally had one of the worst arms ever in terms of mechanics and overalll talents lmao. Dude was not fit to be in the NFL
I started FSU in 2010. We used to hand out bottles of water labeled "Tebow Tears" to UF fans at tailgates. Good times.
Why? Tebow owned FSU.
@jasonavery Him crying after losing to Alabama was pretty iconic. It was kind of a meme at the time.
@@TheSeanathon again, he owned FSU, what does losing to Alabama have to do with him beating the shit out of the Seminoles for 4 years?
@jasonavery if UFs lord and savior cries like a baby on national television, we're gonna make jokes about it. Idk what else you want me to say dude 🤷♂️
@@TheSeanathon salty that cry baby beat your ass over and over and over again 🤣 cope harder
Tim took a 1-4 team and went 8-5 including the playoffs. He had weaknesses as a traditional NFL pocket quarterback, but he is a winner and a great football player. He got shafted because his faith and his rabid following was a distraction. Each team carries at least two quarterbacks. I can't believe that 64 quarterbacks were better than him. Some coach could have made him the backup/wildcat quarterback and had some patience to develop him. Maybe even the practice squad. Shame on the Broncos for how they treated him. I used to like them, now they are one of my least favorite teams. I laughed so hard when Seattle destroyed them in the Super Bowl!! Haha Tebow Time!!
I dont ever think Ive been mad at a TH-cam Title but this one got me ngl... great video though as always
@@dotMILD broncos fan? lol. I mean no disrespect sirs 🫡
Tebow could have easily succeeded in the NFL. To many politics though. He was a winner and you can’t replace that. He even won in the NFL. It’s actually sad.
Tebow took a losing team to the playoffs his first year from the bench. They didn't let him develop. Shows you how good Tebow actually was.
tebow completed less than 49 percent of his passes and having a low QB Rating. they were winning despite his play
That Denver defense got them to the playoffs not Tebow.
Tebow couldn't hit a barn from 20 yards ,but not worst ever.
He was a .223 hitter in the MLB, and that isn't solid in double A. Even a .273 average isn't that great in the minors when you aren't hitting tons of homeruns, and he wasn't.
Tebow looked good at Florida because he was throwing to guys so wide open that I could have completed those passes. In the NFL, that just doesn’t happen.
Dude, had had 1st round receivers, first round tight end, first round OL. He ain’t have to do much with that crazy talent
@Keepdapocket and people don't realize that he played kentucky, Vanderbilt, and south carolina who all have all time losing records and some FCS school each year. FSU and UGA and TENN were down during tebow years
@@GoodStuff1992That was at the beginning of the Saban era at Alabama. I remember he played a good Alabama team and got destroyed in the SEC Championship game. Yes, he had that one win against Pittsburg in the NFL playoffs, but New England completely dismantled his Broncos team when they played then in the playoffs. I believe the score was 45-10.
The guy was incredibly talented and dedicated! If he had a good developmental QB coach and was allowed a few years to progress like Jordan Love was, he would have had a good career! 💯
He has half the amount of Playoff wins as Dak Prescott... LMFFFAAAOOO
Tebow allowed the NFL to change his throwing mechanics....as a FSU Fan....he was a bull run 1st passer 2nd....the only pass he threw in the NFL that the Receiver didn't have to slow down...or adjust and appeared a natural throw.... that's what happened to him.....sad...
This kid doesn't pump out one video after another, but she sure puts a lot of info in a relatively short amount of time. Well done!!!
She is a grown woman, old man!
Thank you!!! That means a lot! I've switch my approach to quality over quantity. I hope you guys enjoy!
@@SheGotSportsI love your work!👍
You know she hates him when she says Jamarcus Russell was better.
He definitely underperformed for a first-round pick, but Tebow was far from the worst QB in NFL history
I've been against Tebow since his college because im a graduate from another sec school....but you cannot say Tebow ain't a solid human being. Dude is legit a great role model.
He took a 2-4 roster and 28th in rushing, then explosively won 7 games in a row , 1 in rushing and beat the the #1 defense in the playoffs, so your elementary deceleration of his NFL career is Very fraud
One fluke season doesn't make his career as a whole great. He was carried by an amazing defense and great receivers. The Broncos won in spite of Tebow not because of Tebow. Her assessment of his career as a whole is correct. He was not an NFL caliber QB and his ego didn't allow him to transfer to a position he was better suited for. If he really was good, he would have succeeded elsewhere. Once he left Denver, the novelty of the Wild Cat offense had been figured out and he got exposed.
@@paccmannhtx I love when people make this argument. Let me ask you some questions not a single person has yet to answer me no matter how much they know about the NFL. Despite how much you people hate this man, and down play that season, if Tebow was carried by the Broncos def and receivers, why were they 2-4? Even if you don't care about any of that, why was he not given a single chance with any other team to play QB after such a run when there have been SEVERAL bum QBs that played in the NFL multiple years even as backups yet Tebow was told fuck you and drummed out of the league? And as a bonus, if you're one of the people that says he could only run, Lamar Jackson is a star QB for the Ravens right now and his QBR is one of the worst in history yet he's praised.....
@NSAgent I don't hate Tebow, never once said I did. What I did say is he had a fluke season in Denver, and I stand by it. If he was as good as you seem to think he was, then why didn't he succeed anywhere else? He was a terrible qb, and once the rest of the league figured out the wildcat offense, he was done. Lamar Jackson was in the top 5 QBR last season. Yea, he's a terrible QB alright 🙄.
@@paccmannhtx still didn't answer my questions
@@NSAgenthe never should have been drafted in the first place.
My dad is a giant Branco's fan, as well as a former alcholic. Unfortunitly, he was drinking during Tebow's run
I didn't watch all his games, but I did watch some of his winning stretch and the Steelers game. He wasn't good, he didn't have stats to back up his play, but he had something. Luck? Divine Intervention? Just a really good defense and 4th quarter scheming? I don't know lol
Cam Newton was1 finished after the beating he took
There were 50+ other guys on that team that contributed, too.
Divine intervention.
@vh8542 Pretty much everything you brought up is correct. However, his luck ran out vs the Patriots in the divisional. It was definitely entertaining while it lasted.
I would say lots of energy! Lots of good will. ....not enough talent to back up his game though against rock solid teams in the NFL.
HE was easily one of the worst QBs in NFL history
Before watching, my opinion is that Tim Tebow was good enough to be a backup Quarterback. But just like Colin Kaepernick, and Cam Newton, too much noise comes with them for a franchise to be like. Yeah that's my backup, Not my starter. No one's putting up with the headaches for a backup.
Nice work! This was a really well made video! Informative & flowed well. You tell a good story, Lauren.
I think he would be good as a coach.
me too! Thank you for taking the time to watch!
That playoff win over Pittsburgh made my decade 😅and I'm not even a Bronco fan
Such a wild game! Thank you for taking the time to watch!
One name....Tim Couch...Nebraska QB...
THAT is who Tebow was for his time in the College.
He had a winning record as a starting QB, and managed to beat the Steelers in the playoffs.
The throwing motion was just to much to over come by the time he made NFL start .
He needed a better qb coach in college .
Great point. It's just to darn hard to complete anything with that awful motion
I moved from Buuffalo to SW Florida. I adopted the Gators. Tebow mania was something to behold .
Y'all don't understand that Tebow just wins. I don't care that his release is janky or his passing percentage is low. Those numbers don't tell the full story of a guy who was a champion in College and took his NFL team to the 2nd round of the playoffs, first time starting. You cannot put a number on Tebow's intangibles. You cannot put a number on Tebow's clutch. You cannot put a number on Tebow's luck. Any young QB that led their team to the things Tebow did his first season starting, would be put on a pedestal. Tebow doesn't fit the mold of old and tired coaches. The mold Tebow is cut from is a bright, shining, faithful, winning, clutch, lucky and tenacious one that few appreciate or understand.
PREACHHHHH
He’s a natural athlete, leader and most importantly a good person. Doors will always open for him.
I still love Tim Tebow at quarterback playing at University of Florida he really was amazing so awesome to watch he was special he won the 2007 Heisman Trophy a 2X National Champion but yet he still became a 1st Round 25th pick by the Broncos in the 2010 NFL Draft but as a Steelers fan I certainly remember the playoff game in overtime he threw a picture perfect pass to Demaryius Thomas on one play it was one of the absolute BEST play in Tebow's career but let's be real honest here Tebow is overshadowed cause of Peyton Manning after Tebow left the Broncos for the New York JETS although he's not in the NFL anymore but I still appreciate and respect Tebow more and more cause he is by far the single most handsome man I've ever seen for he's cool he's calm and collected he's like the Boy Next Door type of guy and I mean that in a good respectful way at least he's living his real incredible life outside of football! 4:11
Wtf 😳 are you trying to tell us something
He won a Heisman Trophy, people are nuts to call him bad , he knew how to win .
being a Broncos fan during the Tebow hype was an amazing and exciting time. I knew the Broncos defense were the ones really carrying the team. I also knew if they went up against a high scoring team, they would lose - for example, vs the Patriots that year.
Yes, the defense was excellent, and key. But 2 key things cannot be denied - the team with Orton at QB could only manage 1-4, with Tebow 7-4 and a playoff win. Second, the unreal win after win had to ultimately be credited as much to the Tebow-lead offense as the defense, by virtue of the way it would come from behind and give them just enough points to pull out all those dramatic wins.
The name of the game is winning, and it's undeniable that Denver doesn't make the playoffs without Tebow. He's the one who put God on their side, to give them all those miracles! Just unreal how awful his numbers were, but how incredibly good he played for just enough time in all those fourth quarters.
How is Tebow literally the combination of Jimmer Fredette and Taysom Hill?? For real.
Jimmer - Beloved by the nation in college; the BEST player. Drafted in the first round. After the first season, the coach and management that drafted him are gone. In and out of the highest level of the sport, but the mania continued to follow.
Taysom - The biggest, strongest, and most physical dude on that field. LOVES football and an on-field leader. Then off the field, the nicest guy. The comparison is already made in this video.
Oh.. and not to mention the fact that Tebow is a devout Christian, and both Jimmer and Taysom are BYU alums and known for their faith as well.
Seriously.. Tebow is literally Jimmer and Taysom in one. Unfortunately, Tebow wasn't able to do what Taysom has done in his NFL career. Tebow is/was special. Great video!
Tebow was given the opportunity to choose for himself where he was traded to and New York offered him a chance as a wildcat QB while Jacksonville offered him a starting job at QB.
I will never understand why he or any QB would choose backup/wildcat while having the chance to be a starter
I live in Jacksonville. They never gave him an offer for QB. All of us here wanted to draft him, wanted to sign him, wanted to trade for him, get him here in any way possible as a backup or something. They never did until later as a tight end, but it was too late.
I once read backup QB is the best job in the NFL. Holding a cardboard most of the time, earning more than decent money and when hitting the field, a lot less pressure because, well, just the backup QB after all..
So what I'm hearing is that the Jags could have been even worse than what they were at the time🤣
@@JonyRotten Nothing could be worse than Blake Bortles.
@@clarkkent1521 🤣
Tim: knocks the Steelers out of the playoffs
Bill: hold my clipboard
I’ve barely watched and I can already tell this is going to be a banger
Thank you for taking the time to watch!
@@SheGotSports yw
I really love your documentaries. You are one of the best. Keep up the good work.
If he wasn’t religious nobody would care. He was surrounded by a great defense and won games literally with scores like 10 to 3. Instead of giving credit to the defense they gave it to him because the media fawning over him because of his religion.
If he converted to TE immediately I think he would’ve had a good, potentially great, career
I don’t think so. He was too slow and too small (6’3”). That era of tight ends were “basketball fame” types.
too arrogant to do so. he never wanted until they gave him an ultimatum to be signed
Christians really hyped him up
Was he a good qb? No. Is he a good person? Yes, and at the end of the day, that's the part that's most important.
The division title Tebow won was the most mid in history, a 3 way tie between three 8-8 teams and KC was 7-9.
IDK what would have happened if KC won one more game, but it would have been chef's kiss.
Broncos had not won the division in five years before Tebow did.
Being a Brincos fan for life I can say there have been some truly unbelievably talented QBs that had all the physical traits to be great in the NFL but none of the mental fortitude and leadership that Tebow had. And they washed out of the NFL with none of the winning that Tebow produced. He had this way of making his teammates believe. And you can't put that on a Stat sheet.
None of the QBs Jhon Elway drafted had as much success as Tebow had in the NFL. But they were all more "talented".
That said, I hate Josh McDaniels till the day I die lol
John Elway didn’t like Tim Tebow, and he was also in the way of Elway’s bromance with Peyton Manning
You are crazy 😂. Tebow wasn’t good
Can you blame him? Most people would take Peyton throwing with his left hand over Tebow.
Yeah you're crazy with manning play with The Broncos, the same team, same coaches Manning, was scoring 30 points by halftime.
All the while Brady was wrapping up super bowls . Lol
Sure...that explains why he flopped with the Jets & Patriots too. It was Elway's fault. If only Elway had seen how much better it would have been to go with a guy who couldn't pass instead of one of the best of all time.
My new favorite youtube channel. you do an excellent job keeping viewers glued.
Wow, thank you!
Tim Tebow is absolute trash. The fact that people couldn't separate his trash play from his religion is what irks me. He's objectively trash and we have people making excuses for him because he wears his religion on his sleeve. Trying to say he is being bashed for his religion instead of the career 47% completion rate. I'm not a Steelers fan or a fan of Big Ben. (no means no). But as a fan I was robbed of watching a divisional game. Instead, we got to watch Tebow go 9/26 136 yards and 5 sacks. And give Brady the easiest path to a conference game ever.
He was a dreadful christian as well.
No means no 😂
Bitter much? You would be lucky to have this man's courage, strength, charisma.... Don't even know his backstory and so full of hate. You could only hope to be mentioned in the same light of this great man.
@@carlbrenda6518 Cool story bro what does that have to do with football? Oh right, you're the type of person I was talking about. He sucks at football cope harder.
Once people got film on Tebow it was all downhill. He was essentially an option QB who couldn't make the transition to the NFL dropback passing style.
very true
He’s literally the best player in college football history.
Watch the video. She says exactly that.
lol thanks
Lol 😂 lay off the crack not even close
This guy was a winner. While his QB skill set didn’t translate at the NFL level, he still could have had a standout career. To go play baseball was nuts though. You cannot step away from baseball for 10 years and go back. That sport doesn’t work that way.
He was Media Hype in the NFL , College he was pretty decent and good obviously winning two titles and a Heisman , also always cool to see a Lauren Video out
Thanks for watching daniel!
Trent Green and Ian Eagle had the call for the Jets game. You could hear Green whimper a “go”, under Eagles’s real time call on the game winning Tebow TD run. Epic.
One of my most cherished moments of my sporting life is watching the Patriots completely destroy Teblowmania. He never recovered from that playoff beatdown.
Thank you, Coach Belichick, for exposing a fraud.
If that’s one of your most cherished memories you gotta get a life
Imagine being such a sad human that you enjoy watching someone fail. Im not a denver fan or tebow fan by any means, but most decent people were rooting for him to succeed regardless of how talented they thought he was.
You can actually thank Tom Brady and the Patriots offensive coordinator and QB coach Bill O'Brien you casual .. Brady threw for 6 TD's in that game and put Tebow into a situation where the Broncos had to pass every play in order to keep up. Do you know how easy it is to play defense when you know the opposition has to pass every play because you are down 20,30,40 points?
Denvers defense gave up over 500 yards you lame 🤡
just come out and tell us you are mentally challenged without actually saying it
@@senderoverland that Loser is long gone
Literally biggest tool on the internet for the year. Congratulations being a Jackwad
Tim Tebow didn't have NFL throwing mechanics but he had enough heart and faith to make up for it.
"Warrior mentality?" I'd call playing with a broken leg stupid... he WAS great in college- and he got the EPIC playoff win vs. the Steelers (ARRRRGGGG)- but the NFL was not kind to this man...
Sure. But I almost can't believe it. It might be the most impressive physical feat I've ever heard of. He deserved another season. We know he was rough, but he won some games.
