Tim Tebow is more popular than your favorite rookie

Didn't think new Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow would push merchandise sales in the NFL like he did at Florida? Think again.
According to league spokeswoman Joanna Hunter, Tebow has the most popular jersey among this year's draftees. And it's not even close.
"It’s a pretty substantial difference between him and the next guy," Hunter told the Gainesville Times.
The league isn't releasing sales figures, but the next closest rookie is Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. They are followed, in order by Sam Bradford of the Rams, Eric Berry of the Chiefs and Dez Bryant of the Cowboys.
League-wide, Tebow's blue Broncos jersey is the second-best seller, according to the "top jerseys" menu on NFL.com. He's sandwiched between Donovan McNabb jersey variations.

This is partly because a number of people are simply Tebow fans showing their support.
i.e. Tebow = fans of other teams making the Broncos their “second” team.

I don't mind. Lately, the Broncos either get ignored, or outright bashed.

I’ve already started to laugh. Tebow’s is selling a lot of Jersey’s. Will they keep them on when they figure out he can’t play?
Good luck.

It's all about the Tebow
Tebow posters.
Tebow drinking glasses.
Tebow bibles. This just in: the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox and Protestant church leaderships have united and agreed to add a Book of Tebow to the end of the New Testament. The Book of Revelations will be edited out as the Rapture is no longer necessary.
Witty's 2010 Draft review is full of meaty goodness. What you mean, you're vegan?! Sigh. Just read it.

To be honest
I’d buy a Tebow bible. Not religious in the slightest, but that’s the kind of thing that looks great at a garage sale.
How many of them came from Florida?

I can't stand fair-weather/bandwagon fans, stick with your team, throughout the good and the bad.
