I'm a huge Gator and I like Tebow a lot (I think the Bronco [well Elway really] and the Jets screwed him) and I wish he was on the 'Fins instead of the Pats. Or at least selling seats for the Jags. He's likely gay since he has no associations with any women, but who cares? Obviously there's tons of gays in football. It's not like nat'l security is on the line.

It did not work out between Tebow and the Jets but that does not diminish Tebow's attributes...two of which are intensity and physical strength. It was the same story in college. Here is a little vignette by someone in a position to know.
Jets coach Rex Ryan was asked about Tebow’s intangibles after Thursday’s Organized Team Activity, and Ryan responded by talking about Tebow’s feats of strength.
“Let me give you a little story about Tim,” Ryan said. “I saw this in the weight room. A player had challenged him, holding these big huge sledgehammers. They held them doing this big iron cross kind of deal. The big lineman went first. [Tebow] said you want to go first or second. The big lineman said he’d go first. He went for about a 1:04, shaking. Tim went for 1:18. This guy is crazy with how strong he is and the kind of focus [he has]. I see that from him. He’s super competitive.”
It’s great that Tebow competes in the weight room, but does that really make much of a difference on the field? Ryan says it absolutely does. And although some would say Tebow relies too much on his strength and athleticism as a runner and still hasn’t learned to be an NFL passer, Ryan likes the way Tebow approaches the quarterback position."
