When I first set up this blog it was supposed to be for professional purposes only. It was meant to track PR releases from different companies and showcase some of my skills as a undergraduate in PR. This entry is going to go against the main purpose of this blog and discuss something a little more personal.
I am a huge Florida Gator Fan and have been for a long time. No, I am not a "bandwagoner" of the gators even though some people will always think that I am. I am also a huge fan of Tim Tebow, the quarterback, the Heisman winner, winner of two national championships, and, more importantly, what he stands for as a man. Tebow just graduated from Florida University and is chasing his dream of being an NFL quarterback. It seems with all the credentials that I listed above that Tebow would be a hands-down top pick in the upcoming draft, however, Tebow is not even predicted to be picked in the first round. He has been under a lot of scrutiny from NFL scouts and ESPN analysts because of his elongated throwing motion and his lack of experience taking snaps from under center. While I agree with all of the things being said, yes Tebow has a long throwing motion and has never really taken snaps from under center, I think what makes Tim Tebow Tim Tebow is the intangibles that define his character. He has the leadership skills that every player wishes they had or wishes they could listen too. Tebow willed his team to victory in the SEC championship game in 2008 and ultimately willed them to victory again in the BCS National Championship game one month later. What about his infamous speech after the gators lost to Ole Miss? Did that not speak volumes about his character and what really defines him as a quarterback? I believe it did. If we take a look back over history we will find that it is not always the most qualified man that gets the job done, it is the right man that gets the job done. Think about the 1980 U.S.A men's hockey team. They were a bunch of college players that had never played together but Herb Brooks picked each and every player for a specific purpose. He didn't want the NHL stars he wanted the right men for the job and it was those boys who shocked the world 30 years ago by beating the Soviet Union and ultimately winning a gold medal. This point is no only found in sports but it can be found in politics, business, education and any other aspect of life. Tim Tebow has what it is going to take to make his dream come true of being a successful NFL quarterback. He is proving that now by changing his throwing motion, taking snaps from under center and many other things. But it is what is inside of Tebow that is going to create success. It is the guts to take on defenders rather than running out of bounds, although this is not always the smartest idea. He studies the game just like the NFL great quarterbacks such as Drew Brees and Peyton Manning. In the end of all this it is only going to take one team to take, what they are calling, the risk on Tebow and let him work his magic. People will see what it really takes to play quarterback on Sunday's. Mark my words, Tebow will find success. It is only a matter of time before the critics are silenced and Tim Tebow becomes Tim Tebow on Sunday's.
