Isn’t It a Little Early for Tim Tebow to be Writing a Memoir?

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Tim Tebow announced yesterday that he’ll be writing a memoir to be released next April.

HarperCollins will publish the book, which will be titled “Through My Eyes”.

Tebow’s much publicized life is one of the most inspirational stories in American sports.  He captivated the country with his relentless will to succeed on the field and his passion for others.  The memoir will reveal how this remarkable young man constantly strives to be the best, has always overcome the odds and how he has managed to do so while remaining true to his faith and family values.

Isn’t it kinda early to write a book though?  Granted, he’s had an inspiring life and college career, but writing his book now gives the impression that he is satisfied with what’s he has accomplished.  Which is fine, he’s done incredible things in college and assuredly has plenty to write about.  But shouldn’t he wait to write his memoir till he’s proven himself–or at least even played a season–in the NFL?  What if the books comes out in April and in May he’s named the starter?  Will he then write another book?  Perhaps, “Through My Eyes 2.0”.

Maybe that’s the reason he is writing it now.  If he doesn’t have a successful career in the National Football League, who would want to buy a book about a first round draft bust?  Being the confident guy that he is though, it seems unlikely Tim’s planning for anything less than success as a pro.  Perhaps his ultimate plan is to write two books, two books will bring in more revenue than one.

With all that said, I’ll be among the first to buy and read the book. Still, writing a book about his life before he’s even attempted a pass in the NFL is premature, no?

Tim Tebow’s Official Memoir Through My Eyes To Be Published April 2o11 [Tim Tebow Foundation]

  • Jeff T.

    3 words. “The Blind Side”.

    The drive this kid has won't let him fail. Bottom line, he's a winner. It's not his time yet. Look at QB's who had time to sit and wait and the sideline. Aaron Rodgers… Phillip Rivers… both turned out pretty well in my opinion. Don't rush this kid into the starting role. The memoirs are more about his take on life and spirituality than on the field accomplishments. Mark my words, the kid is gonna be great.

    If some hack like Justin Beiber can write his memoirs at 15 or whatever, Tebow can certainly write his.

  • Awesome, Austin

    Lame.

  • Nisse

    i dont think it was beiber or tebow who wrote there momoirs.

    but thats a good thing, we dont want tebow to have anything other than football to worry about.

  • k1111111

    of course he has time to write these. its not like is actually having to play football or anything. holding that clipboard is as far as this kid is gonna go thanks to MCD

    The worst thing Tebow did was call it his “memoirs”. Had he just labeled it a story about his life and college football career… well he still would have probably gotten a lot crap.

  • Britt.

    If you ask me him writting one now is between him and God. Maybe he feels lead to write one now. I'd personally be happy if he wrote more then one, he can't write as many as he wants and I know I'm going to by how ever me he writes. I also think even if he does have a bad NFL carrer (I don't believe he will) people would by his book cause he is Tim Tebow. A lot of people that hate him will probably by it just to see what it's all about and then the people that love him will buy because they love him.

    I hope once Tims book comes out & you read it your blinds will be off I'm so sorry but I will pray for you

  • Kelli_386

    Well said thanks for your thoughts

  • Kelli_386

    Please dont judge its a sin plus the momoirs havent even come out yet so once they do you just might like them that is if you'll take the time to look at them.

  • Kelli_386

    I really think you need to watch some Bronco games so you can see the passes & hand offs Tim completes plus touch downs. Oh and belonging to a N.F.L. team requires alot of training even during the season.You must not of seen that Tim Tebow is “ROOKIE OF THE WEEK”

  • Kelli_386

    I think you need to do some research on Tim Tebow With his college hes top quarterback for the FLORIDA GATORS,first year out of college he plays for Denver Broncos plus over the years all the charity work hes done etc…. And its his book so he can call it what ever his heart desires.

  • Kelli_386

    AMEN

  • Kelli_386

    GLORY TO GOD cant wait til its published its a “BEST SELLER”

  • MrEast

    I think you need to actually read what I said instead of just assuming I'm bashing Tim Tebow's decision to write a book on his life. No where in that comment did I say anything bad about Tim Tebow. All I simply did was mention that Tebow will get crap from his critics about everything he does.

    Also no where did I say that the title of the book was called his memoirs. Please relax. I love Tim Tebow and yes I'm happy he's writing a book.

    Do you actually think I'm unaware that Tim Tebow does good things?
