Tebow

[Deano]

Adam Shefter reporting the Eagles just signed him to a two year contract. Oh boy!

 

[deerpathdave]

Wow. I find of figured this may happen if they didn't draft a guy. But this makes we think they may like him better than Barkley and the rookies they were looking at.

Shoot me now

 

[Iron Eagle]

...he is better than Barkley.


...not saying much.

Saw it was 1 year

 

[WIZ]

Love it!

Man, has anyone gone from “promising” to “total dumpster fire” faster than Chip Kelly? Are we sure he wasn’t secretly hired by the Giants/Cowboys to dismantle the Eagles from the inside? He's losing me fast.

 

[Doc Green]

Good, we have a media distraction to take the attention away from everything!

Football-wise... I'd rather have EJ Kinne.

Give me ZJ Kinne over Teblow

He was black balled out of the league for 2 reasons. His beliefs and his fans who turn him into such a massive distraction no one wants him!!!

I'm gonna be sick

No, actually because he flat out sucks as a QB.....no question he is a tremendous athlete who simply needs a position change. I think and have thought for a long Time he should be converted to TE.

God's favorite son is back in the NFL! Fans hate Tim Tebow because 1) he sucks as an NFL quarterback, and 2) he has a legion of rabid, non-intelligent fans who think Tebow is the answer to any teams quarterback problems, anywhere. It's not a good mix

I heard it was a 1 year deal. I definitely expect Bradford to be dealt to the Browns now.

 

[Wings]

Next up, Michael Sam.....Should be signed by the end of the week.

sadly , i like this

so does walterfootball, he gives out very few A grades

Eagles sign QB Tim Tebow (1 year): A Grade
No financial details are available yet, but I'm going to assume that the Eagles are paying Tim Tebow the veteran minimum, or something close to that amount. If that's not the case, I'll adjust my grade.

As of right now, this is a no-brainer "A" signing. Tebow has had more NFL success than current starting quarterback Sam Bradford, as he dismantled the league's No. 1 defense in 2011 by generating 400-plus net yardage against the Steelers in a playoff victory. Tebow will battle for the No. 3 spot at first, but he shouldn't have any trouble beating out Matt Barkley. Once Bradford suffers his usual injuries, Tebow could supplant Mark Sanchez and start (and win) some games. Chip Kelly, unlike many other head coaches, is not homoclitic, so he'll be eager to get the most out of Tebow.

Having said that, there's a chance this signing won't amount to anything. It's unlikely, but Bradford could stay healthy. Also, there's no guarantee Tebow will even make the roster. But he's definitely worth a shot - remember, he vastly outplayed Kyle Orton in Denver back in 2011, and Orton started games last year - and with no risk involved, there was no reason for Philadelphia not to sign the former Heisman winner.

Hooray for Tim Tebow.

 

[deerpathdave]

Well, now he will get a chance to compete and we will see if the training he had over the last couple of years have changed some things.

From a pure roster management perspective, most teams are winging it without a 3rd string QB on game day. I like the idea of having a guy that can be a key special teams and be there as the third stringer on game day. Essentially, Brad Smith was that guy last year as they kept Barkley inactive. So is Tebow a better version of Brad Smith? I would think so.

 

[Wings]

You make Tebow a TE and now you have something.....Absolutely has no clue how to play QB, but I love his athleticism, i hope that is what Chip sees as well.
