Tebow: Why the Madness Will Die Down No Matter What After New England

Why do we even bother arguing? Why do we even bother watching the absolutely nauseating ESPN First Take segments that feature Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith verbally dismembering each other day after day?

Let's leave it at this: If Tebow is what some people says he is, just the thought of arguing in his defense or against him is pointless. POINTLESS.

Thankfully, the argument will die down no matter what after this Sunday's game vs. the Patriots. If Tebow wins, hundreds of Tebow "haters" will switch sides, and the debate will be lessened to a pool of disbelievers against a sea of ten million strong.

If Tebow loses, you toss that "all he does is win" phrase out the window forever. And, you can accept the fact that the Denver Broncos win streak was primarily because the defense kept them in the game long enough for Tebow to have an attempt at a comeback. 

To cover all my bases, given a never-before-seen skill set that includes unmatched physicality and strength at the quarterback position, a relentless determination to win, Joan-of-Arc leadership and an other-worldly ability to rally his team back from fourth quarter deficits, Tebow shouldn't need anybody's support or good graces to succeed in the NFL. 

Not Stephen A. Smith's, John Elway's or John Fox's.

If the statement "all he does is win" is actually true, then he will never be benched again. He will never miss a Pro Bowl or Super Bowl. He will remain the Broncos starting quarterback until he decides to retire at the age of 30-something.

There will be no finger pointing at John Fox or Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, because despite their best efforts to sabotage Tebow, Tebow will win, since all he does is win.

Tebow's Law of Physics states that no matter how high the chips are stacked against the Denver quarterback, and no matter how poorly he plays for 45 minutes, he will find a way to win given a chance to start at the end of a game. If you are a Tebow supporter, there is no splitting hairs here. This is what many have argued for months, and it is the reality.

If Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos jump out to an early lead and are somehow able to take down the offensive behemoths based in New England, then we as fans must accept the fact that on any given day, Tim Tebow is more than likely to lead his team to victory, no matter how poorly he plays.

If Tebow's Broncos sputter to a slow start and are blanked for the first three quarters like they were against Chicago, and the Patriots put up 28 points, a Tebow comeback will be impossible.

But you can't fault anybody but Tebow if you refuse to credit anybody but Tebow for a Tebow win. If you won't credit the Broncos defense for any of Denver's last nine games, then you can't fault them if they give up 28 to New England and Tebow can only put up 17.

If he fails to win against the Patriots, we have to realize that the Denver Broncos are human. That Tebow is not quite there yet. That all along, this was a massive team effort aided by the encouragement of a young man. And nothing more.
