Seeing is believing: Tebow pulls off the impossible

VERO BEACH-- Wow.

Maybe God does follow football after all.  How else could you explain what just happened?

Here's an ever better question:  How can you not be a believer of Tim Tebow now?

With every long pass he perfectly placed in his recievers' hands, he made you more of a believer.  With every hard fought, never-say-never run he had, he made you more of a believer.  And when he let go of his best, most flawless pass of the day, an 80 yard TD strike to Demarious Thomas on the first play of overtime to win the game, he made you more of a believer.

And shame on you if you're still unconvinced; still the ever so popular "anti-Tebow."  What more do you need?

Do you need him to take a once 1-4 team to the playoffs?  Oh wait, he's already done that.  Does he have to put together a winning streak?  Oh wait, he's done that too, winning six in a row at one point this season.  Do you want him to prove himself against an elite defense?  Well he just did that too, torching the league's number one ranked defense for 316 yards, and three total touchdowns.

And for those of you saying he still needs to win a playoff game to really win you over, well, consider yourself won because Tebow and the Broncos just knocked off Big Ben and the mighty Steelers.

Ready to jump on the wagon yet?  If you are you'd better hurry up and snag a seat, because folks, they are filling up fast and furiously.  And for those of you who aren't quite there yet, consider this- Tim Tebow's next opponent?  The New England Patriots.

Why should this sway you?  Well, this is a Dolphins website, is it not?  The name should be a dead giveaway.  Is there anything better than seeing Tom Brady and Bill Belichick knocked out of the playoffs prematurely?  I can't think of a much better scenario than Tim Tebow, of all people, going into the proverbial "House That Brady Built" and taking down the all-mighty New England Patriots.

A real David and Goliath story, wouldn't you say?  I know Tim Tebow would.

If for no other reason than that, you should be rooting for Tim Tebow now.  At the very least, the absolute minimum, he should have your blessing for this one game to go out and perform well.

It's the Patriots for crying out loud!

However, the fact is he shouldn't need to do anything more than he's already done to make you a believer now.  He just went out and won a game nobody, not one single person including myself, gave him a chance of winning.  And he did it fair and square.  No onside kicks, no fluke fumbles, no idiotic running back running out of bounds, none of that.  Tebow won this game with his arm, with his legs, and with his heart.

Still don't believe in Tim Tebow?  Still don't think God plays a role in sports?  Consider this one last thing.

One of Tim Tebow's favorite bible verses?  John 3:16.


For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.


On a night where Tim needed his faith more than ever, on a night where all odd's were stacked against him, he went out and beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 29-23.


He threw for 316 passing yards along the way.


How can you still not believe?
