Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant praised Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow on Twitter following the Broncos’ 29-23 overtime victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Sunday’s AFC Wildcard playoff game. Many of Bryant’s followers didn’t like that.

When Tebow connected with Broncos receiver Demaryius Thomas for the game-winning touchdown pass in overtime, Bryant tweeted the following:

I wonder how all the people who criticize Tebow feel? #stupid lol

After several fans responded with some rather non-flattering tweets, Bryant continued his praise of Tebow:

I guess all the people who are mad in my mentions are #Tebowhaters..everybody can say what they want about his QB skills he is #Winning

Finally, Bryant actually mentioned Tebow in a tweet with more praise:

Much respect to @timtebow keep doing your thing...I'm off to the movies lol

Even though Bryant’s tweets weren’t that opinionated, his resiliency in not responding directly to those fans he mentioned does illustrate his maturity, in a sense. A year ago, Bryant would have attacked anyone who disagreed with him on Twitter. Cowboys fans have to look on the bright side here; this could have been another PR disaster for Dallas, but Bryant held his peace.
