They said Tim Tebow was only a running quarterback who could not pass. Yet he put up some of the best passing statistics in college football history, and his passing numbers against the best defensive backs in the best conference in college football, the Southeastern Conference, were vastly superior to every SEC quarterback in the NFL Hall of Fame. They said he could not play quarterback in the National Football League, but he led the Denver Broncos to one of the most dramatic playoff runs in the sport's history in 2011, garnering the highest television ratings in a generation. Tim Tebow was simply the first football legend of the 21st century, and his upbeat, optimistic Christian faith remains an inspiration to countless millions of Americans. This book examines all the pros and cons about Tim Tebow with insight and gentle humor, and concludes he was blackballed from the National Football League because of his unorthodox passing motion and his strong faith.
