Tim Tebow's Continued Success is Making me Believe in God

I was hoping that Tebow would touch Cutler and Forte, healing their injuries instantly.

I find it more impressive how teams keep handing games to the Broncos. Marion Barber literally gave Denver the ball twice when they had no business touching it again. It was kind of miraculous.

edit: this quote is funnier if you consider the context of Cousin Sal doing his weekly impression of Bill Simmons leaving Sal a voicemail that he never remembers leaving. If you don't listen to that podcast, you should start to.

All right - the Broncos are going all the way to the Pray-offs.

Something is afoot. I've never seen a starting QB with such shitty form...yet he keeps winning games. The game where he threw just two completions the ENTIRE FUCKING GAME blew my mind.

Fortunately, he's thrown a few more times in tonight's game - 21/40.

Tim Tebow for 2011 Troll of the Year.

“You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”

The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I was watching Broncos games you selfish fuck"

Folks who are spouting off about Tebow's success have failed to notice the immense improvement in Denver's defense. All of Tebow's work is useless unless the Bronco defense keeps them in the game.

No surprise that his kicker's name is a hybrid of "Prayer" and "Fate"

Tim Jennings is a worse cornerback than Tebow is a good quarterback.

I think he paid all the experts after he left college to tell everyone they could that he couldn't play QB in the NFL just so we could all claim him to be a Jesus/Elway hybrid...I'm on to you Tebow

yrogerg123 · 5 months

There is something happening in Denver. I'm not comfortable saying it's god. I do believe that Tebow has absolute belief both in god and his ability to be an NFL quarterback. And that absolute belief is infectious. Tebow believes completely that he will lead his team to victory, his team sees that and believes him, and they play harder. You can see that the Broncos on defense just play harder than pretty much any other team. That coupled with above average talent and a belief that they will not lose makes them extremely hard to beat.

And then Tebow just dominates in the last five minutes of games despite being terrible in the first 55. That I simply can't explain. The rest makes sense to me.

I doubt he will cause any conversions (well, the season isn't over) but it's pretty crazy how a search of the word "Tebow" will reveal that 3/4 of the posts are from /r/atheism. Mocking him during the week, raging on Sunday night. I love it.

So if Tebow never wins games, it's just that everyone loses to him?

Except my Lions. (Go Lions!)

I sure hope there aren't any believers in god on these teams they are playing then.

I started saying this a few weeks as a joke, but the more that the Broncos win, it becomes less funny and more eerie.

Does scoring one touchdown make you believe in god?

Take religion out of the equation does scoring a touch down a game make a "great player'. Does having a 50 percent passing rating make a great player?

Or does playing generally bad teams (with the exception of the Jets.. that was a miracle) or at least generally low scoring teams make you believe in god? Or having the other teams quarterbacks get injured?

The patriots aren't a great defense, but I will say if the patriots lose to the Broncos I'll definitely second guess this. however I see tebow getting his 2 tds, but Brady getting 4-5.

I'm sorry, but I just don't accept "divine intervention" when the only change is you dropped a QB who could throw the ball, and instead took a QB who has bad completion percentage, good rushing yards, and a single or double TD each week? Wouldn't God's chosen one be able to complete amazing passes?

Came in here to say I heard a thing on NPRs program called Radio lab about how people who lie to themselves are more likely to succeed. As in, if you're a track runner, and you dont walk onto the track believing that you're the best god damned runner on the face of the earth, you probably wont succeed.

If Tebow is playing football honestly believing god has his back and that hes unstoppable because of it, hes going to do well.

I think the NFL needs a new rule that disallows victories if the winning quarterback did not look good enough throughout the game.

He's a terrible quarterback. But his defense and other player's mistakes, Marion Barber, is why they keep winning.

I really don't see what is so hard to believe about a dude that knows how to win football games, winning football games. He's working in a system that he knows how to run, his defense keeps him in games, then he puts his team in a position to win...

We all know the Tebow prays harder/more than the competition, and that god picks favorites in the various sporting events, why is this even questioned? Non believers must be heretics/satan lovers.

offtheboard · 5 months

I sincerely believe that favorable variance from the expected statistical outcome is a more plausible explanation for the Broncos winning than Tebow actually being a good quarterback.

PointlessDelegation · 5 months

This win was 100% field goals. And I love (hate) how people on the Tebow bandwagon refuse to call him lazy for not doing the work needed in the FIRST 3 quarters. He's like the anti-Lebron, instead of not giving you the fourth quarter, it's ALL he gives.

Because Marion Barber had no say in what happened. Nor did Matt Prater. So fucking stupid to think a divine entity would care about a sport.
