Thread: a little perspective on a Monday after a loss

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d...headline_stack

And that's his focus for his life

He works hard at football so he can be the best player possible, so that he has a platform to affect as many lives as possible

The football player Tim Tebow may never be a Tom Brady, but the person Tim Tebow is working toward greatness

I personally would prefer to see him a smidgen more upset after a loss.

from report from the postgame, he wasn't laughing and happy like usual, but when you have someone waiting to see you after the game what are you going to do? Had he been all pissed of he would have ruined his meeting with this young lady. I have no doubt he is upset(he took a lot of shit for crying during a loss to Alabama), but he is a pro, be positive around the people he is trying to help out...brood later and practice harder during the week

edit: here is the post game interview

Not me. Not unless I thought he hadn't given 100%, and whatever TT's flaws as a football player I would never in a million years accuse him of that. I want him focused on beating the Bills, not brooding over mistakes he made v. the Pats. Plus, I sure as Hell don't want him ranting and raving in public Josh McDaniels style. That always strikes me as fake and contrived.

As long as I am sure he wants to perform well and win at least as much as we fans do I have no gripes. I never felt that way about (say) Jake Plummer or Kyle Orton. I don't need him obsessed though.

maybe the reason so many find it so easy to criticize tebow thew QB because he is beyond criticism as tebow the human being.
I want my QB to be someone who can help my teaM WIN the SB.
If he also happens to be a really great human being, thats just icing on the cake or creamcheese on the bagel.
( i really dont like cake without icing)

To be fair, I said a smidgen. I don't want him to look like a broken fool like Cam Newton, but maybe acknowledging that the loss/mistakes were at least somewhat important.

He took ownership for his fumble and the fumble by Ball, saying it was on him and is something he will be working to improve. He can't get into the turnovers as a whole without calling out his teammates, I don't think he will do that nor should he.

Not saying I disagree that he shouldn't take it to heart and work on his issues, but just as with Elway I don't know the guy personally so I don't know how pissed he actually is.

My statement is causing a bit more of a stir than I intended. I should probably clarify. I'm not talking about prior or subsequent interviews, I was simply responding to the link in your OP. I know he has other priorities in life, and that's fine, just sharing my preference.

Man I hate going back and forth over little s***, so I just roll my eyes. I'm sure I would have made a comparison to your comment. You would have said NO NO I would have said Yeah Yeah and we would be in the same position as we are right now so a does suffice.

want to clarify my statements too..I'm not trying to disagree with you...let me just put it this way.

The NFL chose to write a feel good piece about Tebow, it would not have fit the theme of the article to include items of a non-feel good nature. I wouldn't take it as anything more than a feel good articel, and would go to the locker room and post game intervfiews to get a feel for player mood.

I don't think this article gives a good feel for Tebow's actual mood after the loss...it is a fluff piece nothing more. Not calling you out or disagreeing with your posts, or upset or anything like that, hope I am not coming across like that, just saying probably not the best article to get a feel for Tebow's mood after the game....also monkey on a dog

That's cool. But if you don't want to go back and forth, then why post at all? If you are going to post something, it should at least be informative. A rolleyes icon doesn't tell me anything about what you don't like about my statement.

But that's cool. I wasn't expecting everyone to agree with me.
