if he hadn't played poorly the rest of the game, they wouldn't have needed a come from behind win.

hey, no one tries harder than tebow...doesn't mean he has what it takes to be a top qb. karma...pfft. has nothing to do with it.

Karma has a role in everything if you believe in it (as I do), if not then it's easy to dismiss. Regardless of your beliefs, the truth about Tebow will be revealed over time, not as a basis of a few games or preconceived ideas.

so if you don't believe in it, it doesn't have a role? what i believe is that the harder you work, the luckier you get. want to alone isn't enough, neither is talent alone. but if someone can do well purely because of drive, then tebow will do well.

I'd take Karma -3 vs. Denver right now.

merit is lot easier to prove than karma and the nfl, for all it's many flaws, is set up to reward the former and not the latter. ray lewis. randy moss. any oakland raider. i could go on.

tebow wasn't a #3 on denver's depth chart at the start of the season because of karma. he's struggled to make the transition to the pro's and anyone with eyes can see where this story ends.

if i believed in a nebulous concept like karma, i might think the fact the bronco's traded up to make him a first round pick with all the financial reward that entails makes him mother f'ing theresa. karma's done it's part.

in the meantime actual talent should have something to do with how the rest of his now predictably short nfl career goes.

he's a really nice ryan leaf.

When the defenses keep a LB in to key on his runs he will be really ****ed, unable to run and unable to pass. Take the Under going forward in Bronco games.
