Thoughts on the NFL: Tebow-mania, the unbeaten Pack and the Chiefs coaching situation

Some Monday morning quarterbacks are up in arms about Tim Tebow receiving too much credit for Denver's overtime win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Of course Tebow was given too much credit for the win. That's the same for any quarterback in the NFL.
Sure, Matt Prater hit two long field goals to tie and then win the game. Sure, the Broncos would not have even been in position to win the game had it not been for two mistakes by Chicago running back Marion Barber. But, had Barber stayed in bounds in regulation or not fumbled in overtime and Chicago would have won, the headlines would have read, "Tebow magic runs out" or something along those lines.
So the same people complaining that Tebow was given too much credit for the win would have been blaming him for the loss. And that's fine. That's how NFL quarterbacks are treated - too much praise for wins and too much blame in losses. That's kind of the general rule.
For those people who don't like Tebow because of his faith and were pondering on Twitter, "Which god does Prater pray to?" Does it matter? I'm pretty sure Prater is also a Christian, albeit not as outspoken as Tebow. But who cares? Whether your god is called Yahweh, Jehovah, Allah or anything else, every monotheistic religion prays to the same god. If you're an atheist or agnostic, then too bad. Tebow's not trying to convert you or anyone else. He's just being himself.
We've see too often so-called Christians come across as hypocrites when their actions don't match their words. It's almost as if everyone is waiting for the other shoe to drop with Tebow, but guess what? I don't think that's going to happen, so let it go and just enjoy the fact that we are watching a Broncos team that has found a way to win close games and Tebow's ability to make plays late has a huge part in that.
Now anyone calling for Tebow to be an MVP candidate is just ridiculous. There is one MVP this year and his name is Aaron Rodgers.
PERFECT PACK: Speaking of Rodgers, he threw two touchdowns in Green Bay's throttling of Oakland on Sunday. As the Packers are now a perfect 13-0 and marching closer toward that undefeated season, Rodgers has throw at least two touchdown passes in each of the 13 wins and tied Brett Favre's franchise mark with his 39th TD toss this season.
As fun as Broncos fans are having watching their team, every fan should be having fun watching history in the making with the Packers. I think Bill Cowher said it best on CBS' pregame show, "Only the Packers can stop the Packers."
COACHES CHOPPING BLOCK: You've got to feel bad for now former NFL head coaches Todd Haley and Tony Sparano. I've never been a fan of coaching changes before the end of the season. That's why whenever anybody asked me if Steve Spagnuolo will be canned before the season, I always tell them no. I still believe that.
As far as who replaces Haley in Kansas City, I think Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli would be making a mistake if he goes after Josh McDaniels. What has McDaniels done to show he can be a successful head coach. He got off to a 6-0 start in his first season in Denver before things spiraled out of control and he was fired midway through the 2010 season. He was given another chance to work his way back this season as the Rams offensive coordinator, but it's been a huge disappointment. The Rams are scoring a league-worst 11.7 points per game, Sam Bradford has a quarterback rating of 72.3 and the offense is 31st in total yards.
I don't care what kind of success McDaniels had with Chiefs quarterbacks Kyle Orton and Matt Cassell, he has not earned another shot at a head coaching job.
Now if the Rams can just somehow lure Cowher to St. Louis with Dick Vermeil as GM and Marshall Faulk as the president of football operations. Hey, why not? A guy can dream.
