Everyone has an opinion about Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow right now. And that includes the guy who used to roam around the Denver backfield. During an interview recently, former Broncos QB Jake Plummer was asked his opinion on Tebowmania. And, not surprisingly, he had some very, very strong words for him—and his religious beliefs.

"I wish he'd just shut up after a game and go hug his teammates," he said. "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 a little 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. He knows how to win and when your teammates believe in you then you can do good things and that's what they are doing."

Sooooooo, to sum things up: Keep balling, Tebow. Just stop talking about Jesus so much. It'll make Jake the Snake a much happier man. 'Cause, ya know, that is what this is all about after all, right?
