Pssst. Tebow. Eagles. Quarterback. Shhh... don't tell anyone you heard it from me.

[cherokeeprogressive]

Heads... 3, 2, 1... explode!

[hrmjustin]

1. He is not very good and he is annoying.

[cherokeeprogressive]

2. Both things you mention are subjective. He'd be a natural as a tight-end I think.

And if the Eagles' Offensive Coordinator had half a brain, he'd make him one.

Annoying... there's a thought: What did you find more annoying; Icky Woods' talentless dance, or Tebow taking a knee? What if Icky was on the news tomorrow saying HIS dance had the same intent that Tebow's taking a knee did?

Either way, I think it's awesome. Much like I thought Doug Flutie's detractors were wrong, so do I think Tebow's are.

Tight end. Hall of Fame. That's my opinion.

[petronius]

3. According to the ESPN article, they already have three other QBs

( Sam Bradford, Mark Sanchez and Matt Barkley). So you could be right - if they're going to pay him, they ought to put him to some use if he doesn't win the QB job.

I hope it works out for him too; got to give him a lot of credit for sticking with it, and I think most of what makes him irritating was really not his fault - it was all the masturbatory media hype that made me sick of the dude...

[cherokeeprogressive]

5. Think about the depth chart...

Bradford played 7 games in 2013, NONE in 2014.

Mark Sanchez's presence speaks for itself.

Matt Barkley? 43.8 career rating. Four interceptions, three fumbles... -2 yards career rushing. And a partridge in a pear tree...

[hrmjustin]

7. He was not used well by his teams. not his fault.

Don't care for his politics and his waring his religion on his sleve. I say this as a committed Christian.

[mythology]

21. Actually Tebow is rather objectively bad as an NFL quarterback

And he hasn't wanted to switch positions. Maybe he's changed his mind on that, but I doubt it.

And there's roughly speaking a 0% chance that he could make the NFL Hall of Fame as a tight end. He has no experience at the position and is several years into his career. Trying to make such a radical change in position would be at best very difficult.

[LiberalFighter]

27. He likely has not improved enough to warrant success.

[Yavin4]

24. Thing is, he doesn't want to change positions

He thinks of himself as a QB.

[rufus dog]

33. WHAT!!!

He would be way undersized as a tight end.

Other than having no proven ability to catch the ball consistently, let alone catching the ball in traffic. Add to that that he would get steamrolled by D linemen in run and pass blocking situations, a HOF potential???

WHAT!!!

[ProfessorGAC]

35. Too Slow

The tight end position, to be HoF level, requires speed he doesn't have.

[yeoman6987]

14. I don't have a problem with him but he needs to step it up

Because as a football player, he is average at best.

[hrmjustin]

16. Nice guy who let himself be used for an agenda and hid football abilities suffered.

[yeoman6987]

17. The media f'ed him but he wasn't the first and

Won't be the last. Good luck to him but he really needs to step it up because I can't imagine him getting another chance after this.

[hrmjustin]

18. True but as I said he had a part in that and I don't care for his preachiness.

[yeoman6987]

20. I agree he had a part in it

He would have been given more respect if he said yep I go down on one knee as thanks to God and shut it forever. When asked again he should have said I answered it and won't speak more about it.

[hrmjustin]

23. I think the knee thing was blah.

I was pissed about his rw social politics.

[yeoman6987]

25. Yes that too.

Surprised he hasn't spoken at some of those klan rallies. Oops I mean GOP events. But enough about him. Lol.

[LiberalFighter]

28. No. He mostly did it to himself.

But it also didn't help him much in college with the throwing technique he used.

[brooklynite]

38. Simple answer...I don't care

First, I don't care about football, and second, if Tebow wants to pray before, during or after a game, that's up to him.

[Taylorz]

4. Who cares? He's unqualified.

His favorite target is the ground.

I have that right to criticize him - I'm a Bronco fan.

But knowing Chip Kelly's favorite is run option, Tebow might just thrive in it in the preseason, then get cut anyway.

[cherokeeprogressive]

6. Payton Manning has won just as many Super Bowls with Denver as Tebow did.

And last Super Bowl, Manning led the Broncos to a defeat of historic proportions.

[Fawke Em]

8. Peyton... not Payton.

And I have the right to say that AND criticize Tebow: I'm a University of Tennessee fan.

[Taylorz]

13. And we Coloradans want to thank you for another U of T product - Todd Helton

17 terrific years!

And I know if it wasn't for Helton, Manning would not have had a chance to shine...

[KMOD]

9. Oh please,

do not ever use Tim Tebow and Peyton Manning in the same sentence again. Ever.

[Taylorz]

15. The best decision was dumping Tebow like a hot potato...

when Elway was smiling like a jackass (and know he was grimacing every time Tebow threw the ball) and went for Manning.

Manning has the tools, he needs a good running game, and that's why the coach was changed too.

[fishwax]

12. lol -- yeah, at least Tebow had the grace to get blown out in the Divisional Round, instead of

leading the team all the way to the Super Bowl.

[Logical]

37. Who is Payton Manning? Another brother? nt

[cherokeeprogressive]

40. Oops. Never mind. There is no Payton Manning. No story here.

[KMOD]

10. His favorite target is the ground

^^^This

lol

[KMOD]

11. lol, I didn't even mean to use the Hillary alphabet

I just wanted to use the up symbol to aim at your post, but lol at the result.

[LiberalFighter]

29. Maybe the ground has some magical properties?

Maybe he has an implant in his throwing arm in which the ground causes his release to be late.

[Lint Head]

19. So Eagle's fans. Get down on your knees and.......oh never mind.

[Yavin4]

22. If he wasn't a White Christian, he'd be an after thought

He keeps getting chances to fail because of his faith.

[msongs]

26. jesus says when you pray go in the closet and close the door. tebow says pray when there is a

microphone and/or camera on you. the status of his football career is god's will after all

[calimary]

30. THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[cherokeeprogressive]

32. He says that? Really? REALLY? Can you cite a quote?

He prays. The camera is always on him... but mostly because of people like you, who HATE to see him pray. So, you have to see him pray. Pretend he's praying to someone you HATE. Pretend he's praying to someone you LOATHE. Pretend he's doing it in broken glass.

Maybe they should put up a three-sided screen where he could be out of sight of the cameras. I'd give that a 50/50 chance of working though; because people would KNOW what he was doing in there, and it would bother them.

[Blue Owl]

31. Let the Tebow Soar...

Perhaps John Ashcroft could sing the National Anthem on opening day...

[Inkfreak]

34. This year will bring an entirely new team dynamic to Philly.

How Tebow fits in is beyond me. But I'm a huge Eagles fan and I think Chip Kelly has the right idea restructuring the team. He inherited Reid's team and needed to put that team to rest.

The QB situation is not looking great in my eyes. But he is a hell of a coach. I can't wait to see what he does. The real news in Philly is how that D is gonna do...it was the huge problem last year. Blowing big leads....blows, frankly.

[Logical]

36. LOL, who really gives a shit? nt

[cherokeeprogressive]

41. You, as evidenced by multiple posts in the thread, and the other 659 people who felt the need to

open the OP and read it.

[Logical]

43. Just to see who was so facinated with tebow! Nt

[GOLGO 13]

39. Good. Another chance for his legion of fans to see

Just how terrible he really his. Thus confirming yet again their "saviour" is not good enough to play with men.

So this will be his 4th team now?

[cherokeeprogressive]

42. Yup

The legion of fans, coming together behind their saviour.

Oooh I hate it, it irks me no end! Chaps my hide! I mean, taking a knee (no matter how you slice it, it's a damn sight less awkward than the Icky Shuffle)? WTF?

[trumad]

44. The sycophants with this guy simply do not know ...

What is takes to be an NFL QB.

He has one of the worse accuracy rates of a QB in NFL recent history. He has no pocket presence and has horrible happy feet....he trys running but is to slow for any effect. His throwing motion is horrible. He's simply not a NFL caliber quarterback.

As far as tight end...in today's NFL he's way to small and his route running is horrible.

Face it sycophants. ..he's not NFL caliber.
