*[[Tim Tebow]], a devout Christian dismissed by the media, led the Denver Broncos to the playoffs his first season as a starter, and was inexplicably traded to the New York Jets, who preferred to play "expert" quarterback Mark Sanchez, costing them the season and finishing a pathetic 6-10.  Tebow was again rejected by the [[New England Patriots]] in favor of "expert" quarterback Tom Brady.  The team performed poorly in the first quarter of the 2013 season, with Brady playing at a mediocre level of play.
