As far as his rep as having bad practices , Tebow probably flourishes in those “adrenaline” moments in games, as in Denver where he made the most of broken down plays, or runs that required his “all”.

A mess from Woody to Tanny to Rex to Tony.

Try this: I don’t care if you call him a fullback or whatever you like, but put the guy on the field FOR THE WHOLE GAME (to the extent anyone is ever on the field “all the time.” Put him right there beside the traditional quarterback most of the time–one side or the other, or behind him, or ANYWHERE ELSE POSSIBLE!!! Oh, excuse me–before you do that, devise a book of plays so outside the box that no opponent will know what to expect. Leave the guy in there all the time, and start by–for better or worse–using him enough to let opponents know they have to pay attention to him–and no opponent will ever be sure if the “traditional”quarterback is going to do something “normal” or TT might run, throw, or both. And how about some downfield monkeybusiness (think Aussie rules.) Yes–all the guys at the pro level are good. Even the “worst” is good and fast and strong by most any standard. So why not somebody–SOMEBODY!! have guts enough to challenge the freaking status quo?!

it’s gonna be “Die Trying”….

when the Jets skipped over him on benching Sanchez…. that killed Tebow’s QB career….

everyone knows now that he looked so bad in practice as to convince the coaches that there was NO way he could QB AT ALL….

Umm…no it’s not.

I would give Tebow a shot over these guys:

Bruce Gradkowski
Byron Leftwich
Matt Cassel
John Skelton
Blaine Gabbert
Joe Webb
Caleb Hanie
Terrell Pryor
Brady Quinn
Derek Anderson
Kellen Clemens

…and probably more. Tebow has an 8-6 record as a starter, has a 75.3 passer rating, is an excellent athlete, has a great attitude, and has won a playoff game. That’s a better resume than most NFL backups.

——————-

No one is suggesting the Patriots would use him as a QB or take Brady off the field for even one play.

They’d use him as a FB for a hand-off or screen pass then let him run – occasionally running a reverse where he might look for an open receiver.

THAT’S how Tebow could effectively be used. Puzzling that the Jets never even tried that once.

But since Tebow wants to be a QB, not an FB, he’s likely not going to land in NE. (CFL may be more likely than that)

You also prefer your sports folk to cheat so Tebow won’t fly there for sure.

If Denver had allowed him to stay and learn behind Manning, it would have been the perfect situation for him; he’d have been a backup in a place where he’d actually gotten some results as a starter.

Tebow’s hope of playing QB is suffering from the same plight as Joe Webb of the Vikings; both need more playing time at that position to get better, and neither is going to get it. Both could stay in the league by playing other positions, and neither will likely get a shot to play QB full-time again. Both these guys could go to the CFL and probably play very well there as QBs.

Also, Tebow’s religious zealotry just won’t fly here in New England like it might down south. We prefer our sports folk to play their game and keep their mouths shut. See Tim Thomas and how reviled he is here in New England. Same with Schilling, who blew all kinds of goodwill with his loudmouthed politicking.

That said, if I was Brady’s O-line, and I knew Tebow was one ACL away from becoming the starting QB of the Pats, I’d probably start taking my job even more seriously.

That being said he could probably stay in the league if he changed his goals and switched positions. Notice I didn’t say give up his goals, just change them.
