Isn’t Tebow from the Jacksonville area? Since Gabbert hasn’t exactly lit up that place and the Jags need to sell tickets…. Seriously, what do the Jags and Tebow have to lose?

CFL field is 15 yards wider and 10 yards longer with a 20 yard in bound end zone.Let the debate begin wether this would be beneficial to Tebow or hinder him.

There is zero evidence to suggest that “Tebow is a very smart guy”.

Anthony Calvillo has played 19 years and is the leading pro football passer with 76,542. Marcus Allen’s brother Damon is 2nd with 72,381 yards. Brett Favre 3rd at 71,381 and Warren Moon 4th (combined CFL and NFL) 70,553.

Just want to point out that the CFL is a 3 down league. If you don’t get 10 yards on your first two you punt. It’s a passing league.

Just sayin’. Not exactly Tebow’s strength and Montreal has a Hall of Fame CFL QB as the incumbent.

Their coach however is a religious guy and could connect with Tebow on that level.

Bring him here to Buffalo! The Bills are almost as good as a CFL team anyway. At least they might an entertaining 6-10 rather than the painful 6-10 they normally are. Run the wishbone with Tebow, Spiller and Jackson. Can’t be any worse than what we have now.

Does anyone remember the fight for Tebow’s Jets jersey rights at the beginning of the season?

Bet Sanchez jerseys were never even made?

Going to Montreal or Calgary won’t be any easier for him than going to Jacksonville. The CFL still has a requirement that QBs can throw a forward pass to a receiver to get a first down. Tim Tebow is just a bad passer and would be exposed even worse in a passing league like the CFL. Doug Flutie did really well here and even set records but Tebow isn’t even Flutie. I think he should retire and find a real calling in life that he is good at.

I just don’t get Tebow.. OK, he wants to play the QB position which many, including myself, don’t believe he can play. If this guy has some soft hands, he has the potential to be a receiving TE in this league, it’s not that hard, & who knows, this guy might turn heads.
Plain & simple, regardless of what he did with the Gators & the Broncos, if he’s willing to change positions, he “CAN” play at the NFL level. I’m no fan of his, but if that were the case, I’d sign him to play in Jax in a heartbeat. Otherwise, playing the most premium position in sports is a guaranteed “NO WAY.”
PS- Even if the Jags do sign him for such reasons as revenue, the circus would not follow him down here. It’s kind of a win-win now that I think about it!

I have a feeling the Jets are going to look even more foolish at the end of next season when Tebow takes his team to the Superbowl.

I don’t understand why you guys in the media love bashing tebow so much. so he sucks at quarter back. who cares just let the guy be. you complain about all the attention he gets and you make up bull@#$! stories about him. if anyone in the nfl should move to the canadian leaugue it’s probably the raiders.

I realize this is fantasy, but so are any other projections. But in Madden this year playing as the Packers, I traded a 2nd next year to the Jets for him. made him a Fullback. I made him the backup Fullback, 2nd string TE, and the Starting 3rd down back, and a special teams starter, in 15 games he scored 12 touchdowns, 5 rushing, 5 receiving, and 2 on fumble returns on ST. Just an Idea.

Why all the negativces about Tebow? Remember that when Kyle Orton was QB for Denver and Tim Tebow came along, they were 1 and 4. He brought Denver to the playoffs. He cannot be that terrible. Is it the marketing that surrounds him that pisses everyone off? I am a professor of marketing and I agree that the Tebow marketing is annoying, but it is not his doing. Also I think people have issues because he is Christian.

Tebow will never be a starter in the NFL again and will be out of the league for good within 2 years

Anybody who thinks Tim Tebow can’t star in the CFL doesn’t know about Joe Kapp. He was one the greatest CFL quarterbacks in modern history. He played the game the same way as Tebow. He had the same talents. He led the BC Lions to the Grey Cup. By the way, Joe Kapp later led the Minnesota Vikings to the Super Bowl.

Actually, if he’s interested in playing football still, maybe look into becoming the star of the AFL. He could handle the passing game there since it’s such a small field, he could also be a threat running there, not a bad fit for him.

Can’t compare tebow to moon, Garcia or flutie because those players could throw and throw with accuracy!

Tebow is no where near good enough to play quarterback in the cfl!

Tebow is a winner. It’s simple. Why this man gets such disrespect is beyond me and I am going to have to guess it has a lot to do with his Christian faith. He is a good quarterback and the thing that makes him unique is he is not good on paper but good on the field. I would take Tebow on my team because I know he will find a way to win not because I think he is going to put up Tom Brady stats. The NFL is all about winning and Tebow, when given the opportunity wins football games. He deserves to start in the NFL and he deserves a lot more respect that what he gets.

Please just admit to yourself that you cannot play quarterback. Just embrace a positional change. Please!

He did it to himself signing on with the Jets. He thought they would ditch Sanchez. He’s 2x better than $100M Vick and could have started for several teams after his play last season. A couple of years in CFL and he’ll be starting again
———

First off Tebow is not 2x better than Vick. Let’s put it this way. As bad as Vick has played this year I would bet he gets a job as a back up or starter somewhere in the league before Tebow. And please name the several teams Tebow could have started for after last year. Even Jacksonville wasn’t all that serious about obtaining him. Let me put it this way.. he couldn’t beat out Sanchez or Greg M.

Listen….if he has talent some team will step up to sign him to play qb. He is not a talented QB.

I will speak for all Canadians and say you can keep Skip Bayless. I would rather you kept Tebow but I’m sure he will get scared off on his own once he sees all of the beavers.

That is an underrated comment. Kudos, Canuck.

Tebow is coming home to Jax. The only viable option to blackouts that are certainly coming after a two win season. Give the kid a shot without these stupid formations.

If Leftwich, Skelton, Gradkowski, Orlovsky, D. Anderson and others can get work in the NFL, then Tebow should still have a place in the NFL. I’m a Bengals fan, and if not for the media circus that follows him, I would take him over Gradkowski in a heartbeat.

Byron Leftwich is terrible and has a windup worse than Tebow’s (and can’t run). I find is utterly ridiculous that Tebow didn’t get a shot over Sanchez. At least Tebow doesn’t throw 3-4 picks every game. You can’t tell me that McElroy is any better than Tebow either. The Jets just don’t want to see a backlash if Tebow wins a couple games.

Tebow sucks as a qb. He should just go be a preacher and live a quite life somewhere. I’m tired of hearing about him.

themagicman1223 — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 03:24:34 +0000

I live in Montreal and I know my CFL, if you all think he is going to start you don’t know anything about the alouettes. Anthony Calvillo is coming back for another year and Adrian Mcpherson has been the backup for a long time and has never gotten a start. And people tend to forget that the CFL is 3 downs so there’s alot of passing and the running game isn’t active at all. Hope this message clears things up, I was never a fan of the CFL but I know alot about the league.

The poll “Where should Tebow play in 2013?” left out the Who Cares option.
