Tebow fuckin sucks
Sick of his devout christian gimmick keeping his name relevant, he's terrible at sports

Pretty interesting story. For me, it brings to light the fact that becoming a successful baseball player is different than in football (especially QB).

In order for a team to put you as their starting QB in the NFL, there are certain qualities you need to have. You either have them or you don't, it's almost like god-given talent. Whereas being successful in baseball is much more about the effort a player puts in every day. All the NFL coaches and GMs decided that Tebow didn't have the necessary tools to be a viable starter. But in baseball he certainly has the opportunity to outwork everyone and earn a roster spot.

Your comparison is god awful. For starters Tebow could have been in the NFL for longer than he was if he wasn't stubborn and would have switched positions. And if their was Minor League Football he'd probably could compete at the QB level there. If there was AAA, AA, A football leagues, he certainly could start at QB for a A football team. But there isn't that option. He's only starting at A baseball right now. Sure that should be considered an accomplishment, but chances he moves higher than AA are very unlikely, let alone the Major League Level.

Saying baseball players don't have 'god-given talent' is ridiculous.

No one has god given talent. Natural ability from your genetic makeup sure, but there's certainly no cloud man with a wand saying "voila! You can the ball 400ft!"

Prince Fielder and Pablo Sandoval did not have a genetic makeup that said "You are a professional athelete."

I'm not sure why you're conflating body fat percentage and body aesthetics with athleticism applicable to baseball, but it sure makes you look stupid

I made a point to distinguish between QB and other positions in football. The fact that he would have been more likely to be successful in the other positions at the NFL than at QB goes along with the point I'm making



Every pro athlete does (of course) but all I'm saying is that it's much more stringent at NFL QB as far as what talent you need to be born with vs. what can be developed. Baseball is relatively more about development than NFL QB.
