Opinion on Tim Tebow's NFL future is clearly divided, but count LeBron James among the many fans of the former Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback. James took to Twitter on Wednesday, supporting Tebow and proclaiming, "Tim Tebow will succeed in the NFL. He's a hard worker, a student of the game, a natural born leader and most of all a WINNER! It takes time and he'll be nice." James' tweets were in response to comments from ESPN NFL analyst Merril Hoge's criticism of Tebow earlier Wednesday on Twitter and "SportsCenter." Hoge wrote on Twitter: "Sitting watching tape off bronco offense from last year! Orton or Tebow? It's embarrassing to think the broncos could win with tebow!!" Appearing on "SportsCenter" Wednesday, Hoge, a former running back with the Pittsburgh Steelers, offered a strongly worded critique of Tebow's game. "He is awful as far as accuracy goes and what's kind of even more disturbing, he's probably worse moving and running around with the football and throwing than he is from the pocket," Hoge said. "Can you get better there? A little bit. If everything is perfect, the pocket, your feet are good, all your fundamentals come into place, the coverage is what you want it, you can be successful. But that doesn't happen at the National Football League. Rarely does that happen."
I hate both Lebron and Tebow with a passion it's sort of for the same reason. They're both delusional when it comes to their game. I think Tim Tewbow legitametly believes he's a future hall of fame QB that wasn't drafted by another asshat with an inflated ego(josh mcdaniels) to just sell tickets. But on the other hand, if Lebron says something then we have to believe it. His judgement is never clouded. When's the last time Lebron said the wrong thing or made the wrong publicity move or disappeared in crunch time? I can't remember. If Lebron says Tebow is gonna be"nice" then Tebow is gonna be "nice." A winner knows a fellow winner and both those guys have proven themselves on the big stage of professional sports.
P.S. Oh Lebron hasn't won a title? But hasn't he been to the Finals twice? And hasn't he led teams into the playoffs as the number #1 seed a whole bunch of times?
