The similarities between Tua and Tebow are fascinating.
Both:
In convo for best college QB's all time
Had personal ESPN PR/Hype machine
Had coaches who got angry if you questioned whether they would succeed
Were so like-able it was hard to criticize
Intangibles off the charts

Both played on teams that had superior -- way superior -- talent than everyone that faced.
Both were raised to be QB's
Both strong faith.
Both easy to root for.

Biggest difference - Tua is clearly 10x the passer that Tebow was
