Preseason Week 1: Pats vs Eagles Gamethread

[Drawmeomg]

Holy wow. Tebow just can't play. I knew that already, but there's so much hype around him that I sort of trick myself into thinking maybe I'm misremembering, but no. He just. can't. play. quarterback.

And they're halfway through camp - it's probably too late for him to change positions and make the roster somewhere else. I mean who are you going to cut to keep him? Hoomanawanui AND Fells? Bolden? Blount? Those guys definitely bring something to the table and one of them will be gone by the start of the regular season.

Fells goes IMO.

But so does Tebow. This is embarrassing.

I think now we are seeing one of the reasons we kept Edelman. I think Edelman can play QB better.

Hey draw.. Yeah that the consensus

Eric what's up with the tebow love.. What do you think he adds to the team as a qb?

I just want the kid to have some success. I am not in love with him. He is a good kid, who loves the game. I want him to do good, sort of like the geek in gym class who gets picked last. I am not saying he is the best, but he wants to win, and that means something to me....We have to get pass Brady and Mallet before we hit Tebow. I do not see that happening, or at least we don't want it too. Just give the kid a change...root for him...why does everyone want to see him fail? I do not get that..

Edelman's on a bubble in my mind too. He put the ball on the ground twice today in very limited looks.

Oh man I stepped out for a second..

It's not wanting him to fail. I don't want to waste a roster spot on the worst player at his position in the league.

I think Fells makes it. Let Huiomomo??? do the blocking and let Fells catch passes like he did in Stl.

Edelman needs time on the field. He has not practiced much. He'll make the team.

He's had a problem with taking care of the ball, though. This isn't new so I'm not sure rust can be blamed.

Eric, a lot of us like Tebow. I want him to succeed. He is GOING to be cut if he does not show something. He looks terrible!

 

[JDM]

Wow. Just wow.

 

[eric5577x]

Geno Smith left with an ankle injury....Poor Sanchez...LOL

 

[dblakejr7]

Speechless ...

 

[JDM]

Geno shouldn't be starting this season anyways.

Your prob right...so we run with no 3rd qb again?

 

[dblakejr7]

Horrible..

 

[JDM]

Probably.

What was Arrington doing out there?
