I think his occasionally annoying and over-the-top personality has something to do with it (flashback to him crying at Florida).
It's almost funny to think about, because more than a few athletes get criticized for not caring enough/not trying hard enough, but it's almost like Tebow tries too hard and cares too much. Lots of people enjoy seeing that kind of character fail. I suppose you could put some kind of spin on it by saying they're all secretly jealous that they don't try that hard in their daily lives and want validation for their lackadaisical methods, but that might be putting too much thought into it.
I think this is part of it, but it's also a skill debate as well. I've never seen a player in professional sports with such a wide range of evaluations.

UPDATE: I have uploaded a copy of the criminal complaint filed in Hurd's case. (See below)
According to the complaint, Hurd told an undercover operative that he wanted up to 10 kilograms of cocaine and a half ton of marijuana per week "for distribution in the Chicago area."
It's not even shocking anymore.
Ha! I just got a call from a reporter at our local paper - we had evicted Hurd and his roommates back in 2006 and she wanted to know if he paid the judgment.

Funny. I just directed the reporter to our (former) client. The article could have at least mentioned a "no comment" from me.
Actually, this case ended our relationship with the lady quoted in the article...she thought the judge was giving them a break because they played for NIU. I can assure you, had we still been representing them, they would have received a wage-garnishment check from either the Cowboys or the Bears to satisfy the judgment.
Everywhere I look, Pittsburgh seems heavily favored. With Big Ben's ankle problems, perhaps the Steelers may have scoring problems of their own against the Bronco defense? Would Denver have a chance, being at home? How do the special teams rate, comparing between the 2?
