Following the Bronco's (miraculous?) comeback against the Bears on Sunday evening, there was a lot of talk about just how amazing Tim Tebow's performance was.

However, several on the losing side were not so quick to offer praise. As one would expect, their responses were more along the lines of trying to downplay what happened, though Chicago's Brian Urlacher may have taken downplaying too far by suggesting that Tebow isn't a good quarterback but "is a great running back."

The backhanded compliment was met not with scorn from Tim Tebow, but rather gratitude. Tebow responded to the inverted criticism by saying, "Coming from a really good player, that means a lot."

What made Urlacher look worse: sour grapes or Tebow being...Tebow?
