Disclaimer: I'm not a christian, but I am a FL Gator.
Tim Tebow is a winner. Not once during this whole streak has he ever taken the credit himself - he always gives it up for the team. But this is the same team that started 1-4. The only difference is the offensive leader on the field.
I met Tim and I can attest that he's genuine. On one occasion, I watched Tim stand for over eight hours on a summer day in FL (you Floridians know about that!) signing autographs, posing for pictures and kissing & holding babies. Never once did he lose his smile. How many other pro athletes would do that? The last family got the same attention and enthusiasm as the first.
Say what you want - I don't believe in religion or luck so this is, IMO, a product of hard work and everyone buying in with Tim on the team. But it's clearly working no matter what Tim's ratings are.
As a Gator, I'm proud of Tim's success as I would be for anyone. I just don't get the "polarizing" thing. He's great for sports and a refreshing break from athlete/elites who don't give the average fan the time of day. Hope the Broncs keep on going!
