BULLSHIT!! how can you even say that if you look at his record?...
First, looking at wins to determine the value of a player is stupid because, as you might know, football is a team sport. Was Barry Sanders a shitty running back because the Lions went 74-79 in games he played in? Was Trent Dilfer a good QB because he won the Superbowl in 2000 with a season passing rating of 76.6 on 1500 passing yards? The answer to those questions, of course, is no.
Even ignoring how pointless looking at wins and losses is, you're crowing about the kid because 6-5 as a starter in the regular season? With none of those wins coming against playoff teams? The Broncos finished 8-8 in a horrible division, meaning they got to play 3 shit teams 6 times. His 28th ranked passer rating? His league worst 125 passing YPG? League worst 46.5% completion percentage? As far as his rushing game, well, it's largely dependent on the blocking scheme, but even then he's no Mike Vick or Cam Newton, both of him averaged more yards per carry - Vick significantly more. He's a very bad quarterback who can run a bit. Does that get you a starting QB job on most teams? No, it does not.

In such topics, everyone can an' will have some sort of position or opinion an' they are entitled to it...but in modern America, there is a pervasive an' troubling agenda to minimize Christianity, God, Jesus. etc. - an' any displays of association with these concepts - to the point of ultimate elimination.
The mostly left-wing media industry, the ACLU, NPR, etc. are part of a war being waged against faith and Christian religion in America...all in the name of the small reference in the US Constitution that prohibits the establishment of a "state church" or a "state religion." In much the same way that the "right to bear arms" has been interpreted to suit the interpreter, this admonition was designed to prevent a "church of America" springing up in the newly-formed nation such as had happened with the powerful Church of England (from which the colonists were seeking escape) and also the Pope and the Catholic Church, which had evolved into a nation-state of its own. The idea was to prevent religion from being sanctioned and promoted by the government...and to prevent the church - any church - from gaining any sway or leverage (i.e., 'power' ) within the halls of government.
What has been forgotten is that the Founding Fathers (God love 'em!) were mostly Christians - men of deep and powerful faith. They wanted to establish a secular government, but it was never their intent to wipe out the presence of religion in people's daily lives...Public prayer, Nativity scenes at Christmas, crosses and representations of the Ten Commandments, on which Judeo-Christian morality and civil law are based...these are not enemies to be wiped from the public complexion like one would wash soot from one's face. They are innate and fundamental parts of the unique American experience and culture. Our government - from the national level to the township level - seems intent on showing tolerance for every form of faith EXCEPT the "faith of our (founding) fathers." The same 'leaders' who will fight for the right of Muslims to place a mosque a few blocks from where Muslims horribly murdered nearly 3,000 innocent people on 9/11 are the same 'leaders' who will deny the permits for a Nativity scene at Christmas time, force crosses to be removed, decry calling the 25th of December "Christmas" and saying it is a "Holiday" instead...but make sure there's no "Christ" in there...saying the Ten Commandments have no place in a local City Hall or Court House...
I believe that the blessings enjoyed by Americans - which are unique in all the world - are closely tied to the strong and unwavering faith of our people - in themselves, and it something greater than themselves...Whatever this is, it has made our nation strong and great and enabled it to stand for the power of right over wrong, good over evil, charity over cruelty, and opportunity over oppression more than any other nation in history...but not without flaws and failures...we are only human.
As a nation, we need to return to what has worked for America and the world over the last century or so...and turn away from the ruinous agenda of those who clearly seek to see America broken, beaten down, dispirited, and destroyed...
Folks, let this be a lesson to you; if you try to learn US American History from Glenn Beck you turn into a blathering idiot.
Seriously, there's at least a dozen things that diatribe are just blatantly wrong here, and this has shit-all to do with Tim Tebow.
Take it to your Church, budday.
