Is Kurt Warner Right about Tim Tebow?

Kurt Warner

Former QB, Kurt Warner gave some football pointers to Tim Tebow but it had nothing to do with his actual game skills. Warner suggested that Tebow should tone down the religious rhetoric. According to AZ Central, Warner is quoted by saying, "You can't help but cheer for a guy like that," former NFL star Kurt Warner said. "But I'd tell him, 'Put down the boldness in regards to the words, and keep living the way you're living. Let your teammates do the talking for you. Let them cheer on your testimony.'

"I know what he's going through, and I know what he wants to accomplish, but I don't want anybody to become calloused toward Tim because they don't understand him, or are not fully aware of who he is. And you're starting to see that a little bit."

Apparently Warner is not alone about this. Former Bronco's QB Jake Plummer stated,

Tim Tebow

"I think he's a winner, and I respect that about him. I think that when he accepts the fact that we know that he loves Jesus Christ, then I think I'll like him even better. I don't hate him because of that. I just would rather not have to hear that every single time he takes a good snap or makes a good handoff. Like, you know, I understand, dude, where you're coming from. . . . But he is a baller."

Of course Plummer's statement gave Atheist and unbelievers alike a platform to stand on as they feel that religion should be separated from all sports. That's surprising. (sarcastically speaking) 

Plummer immediately went on the defense by applying the fact that he wasn't "dissing Tebow about his faith" and he was merely suggesting that he should basically "chillax". (Chill + Relax...in case you didn't know.) 

Warner is a born again Christian but stands in agreement with Plummer. So is Warner right about this? Should Tebow tone it down a bit? Absolutely! Your greatest sermon is not what you say, it's what you do and it's all good if "Tebowing" becomes your signature trademark reflecting your faith but your continuous preaching can be overwhelming for people who don't walk in the faith.

Tebow my friend, I stand with Warner on this fully. There's no need to wear a banner and parade your faith around. This doesn't mean hide your faith but let your light shine through your actions and performance. If you have to repeatedly tell someone that you're a Christian as if you're reminding them, then something's wrong. Trust me, people don't forget but they are constantly watching you. Look at Tony Dungy, Lovie Smith, even Kurt Warner just to name a few. There are some many Christian players and coaches in the NFL, so Tim Tebow is NOT the only one.
