Patriots to sign Tebow... really.

[JuiceTheGator]

Go back to the PF where you make some sense, Juice. :rollseyes:

Ha! Just like in the PF, I'll just give you the facts and hope you can manage a reasonable conclusion by yourself. (not yet I see)

Correct me if I'm wrong but this isn't true. Is it?

Mallett>Tebow x 1,000,000

Likelihood Mallett gets hooked on Coke again>Tebow X 2,000,000

 

[Gatorchip]

The team was mediocre healthy and crippled by injuries.

That excuse again? Denver was decimated themselves.

Tebow destroyed the great Troy Polamalu.

Mallett is mild risk/ reasonable reward. Tebow is mild risk/ no reward.

People are so dumb. Forget who holds the most passing yards ever in a BCS bowl game or the only Heisman winner to ever win an NFL playoff game, just ask Hernandez if this is a solid addition. With the best tutoring from Brady, the Pats just insured their future.

Only what? Umm...guess you never heard of Roger Staubach?

Tebow destroyed the great Troy Polamalu.

I mean he only threw for 316 yards, 2 TDs and an 80 yard TD pass in OT for the win. But he didn't do anything himself.

 

[Tubbs1518]

Mallett is mild risk/ reasonable reward. Tebow is mild risk/ no reward.

except he has actually won meaningful games in the NFL including a playoff win and Mallett has never played a meaningful snap?

he meant in the past 25 years.

You could be paralyzed and make the throw that won it.

Why aren't you playing in the NFL then if it's that easy to be an NFL QB and win an NFL playoff game?

Tebow could run a 3.0 40 and wouldn't be worth a roster spot if he insisted on being QB. He can't fucking throw.

threw well enough to get the broncos into the playoffs and win a playoff game. Last I checked winning is all that matters.

 

[JDM]

Novelty has a short term positive effect. The rest of the team played well for the right stretch. When he played a mildly healthy (but straight bad) defense the next round he got shit on. Then he failed to take a spot away from mark Sanchez.

So what happened the following week?

 

[Crimsoncrew]

Look, Tebow is a hard worker who has a strong "never say die" streak, but the reality is that he's not good passer at all. His MO is to run around avoiding would-be tacklers and then heave the ball downfield to guys who have had enough time to beat coverage. It's similar to what Wilson did early this year before he started actually passing effectively all over the field. And it can work out at times, especially when he supplemented it with running. But it's not a long-term plan at the QB position.

 

[JDM]

I don't dislike the person. But I hate the QB with a passion. He's a joke and I am legitimately angry that he is on my team.

 

[HammerDown]

Will Tebow evangelize to Gronk?

 

[SEC Official]

If he lines up as TE, there are going to be some DE and LB wanting, no make that CRAVING one good shot at the Jesus Freak and his sweet little smile.

Someone wake me up from this bad dream. This is going to be worse than Favre ever was.

Kinda like Eric Berry did in college when he had a straight line on Tebow and got decleated....

I am not a big fan of Coach B, but he is a good football coach... and obviously has a plan. And unlike other idiot coaches who make a media circus out of Tebow... Coach B will make him earn playing time.. .and he will get his shot. If he fails... he fails. But at least Coach B will give him the shot and not leave him on the bench all year leaving everyone speculating.

My guess is they had a serious discussion with Tebow and told him IF we sign you then you will play x position... yes or no? If no, then we pass... and he realized he had no other options... and will likely do what they want.
