A look at Tim Tebow no comments
Tim Tebow’s college career is, arguably, and very probably, the best the sport has ever seen. And this video shows you why — in a roundabout, humorous sort of way.
But the reason I like it so much is not just because it’s done in such a funny way – Tim Tebow’s foetus stiff-armed his illness away when he was in the womb, apparently – but because so much of it is so true. At least in my opinion.
Every time I hear someone criticize Tebow’s irregular throwing motion, I chuckle a little bit inside. Because to me, it’s like saying you don’t want Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi on your team because they kick the ball in slightly odd ways.
It even sounds ridiculous. Aren’t high school and college supposed to form a bit of a bridge into the professional league? Players are going before him — players who have achieved nowhere near as much as Tebow on the field — because of his throwing motion.
They say he holds the ball too low; that it will be easy to knock it out. But the reality is other players in the league have unorthodox throwing motions, and they have had MVP calibre seasons. And when the ball is in a quarterback’s hands, no matter where they hold it, it is easy to knock it out for a fumble.
Somehow, the last few words in the video seem to sum it all up perfectly.
