Looking at Tim Tebow and Vince Young
by Bryce Martin

Vince Young is bundled up like an Eskimo on the sidelines of the Titans games while coach Jeff Fisher and other non-players are mostly in light attire. That's a great example for Young to set. He is learning and passing on some wonderful leadership qualities. Also, I wonder what he's really tuned into under the wool caps and hoods.

And what's the deal with three quarterbacks suited up each game? In years past, the Titans have not carried three quarterbacks on the 53-man roster. None of the Nashville media wants to even bring it up. One can only guess they don't want to burn a source (Fisher) by even asking. It's especially newsworthy a subject to pursue since teams have to trim the roster to 45 near game time. Fisher was disappointed a few weeks back when one of his starters came back too soon from a groin injury and had to come out for good after a couple of plays. He made it clear that had he known that he would have instead inserted a backup player who could have, at least, played the entire game.

Yet, none of the media points out how Young, supposedly, the backup quarterback, requires a backup himself. One of which, is "wasting" a roster spot.

Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow seems to be loved by everyone. Opponents aside. And even they voice unusual signs of respect for the big fella. He's Mr. Clean, a young man who goes on Christian missions with his parents.

That's not what I see on television when watching Florida football contests. Florida will likely win the national championship this year. They're big, fast, strong and powerful, just like Tebow, except for the fast part, and he is fast enough.

After Tebow plows through a weak line from a lesser opponent, I see him on the sidelines laughing and high-fiving his teammates with the kind of wide smile and jubilation often reserved for winning national championships. Don't tell me he's happy, he's young and all that cliched nonsense. I would expect someone such as him to show more charity for his opponents on the field. When you and your bullies are pounding the weaklings 40-6, is this the kind of Christian attitude to display?

His actions do not fit his billing, nor his stated beliefs.
