Patriots Sign Tim Tebow

[Reverend Conehead]

We'll see what happens. We'll see if Bellicheck has done something brilliant and can play to Tebow's strengths or if he's done a boneheaded move. Remember, he is the man who cut Bernie Kosar, which resulted in our having a superb-quality backup QB to get us to the Super Bowl when Aikman was out. (Thank you, Bellicheck.)

Btw, I'm clicking on the French flag as my icon only because I've always wondered why this site has a French flag available, but no American flag and no Texas flag. Nothing against the French. Just curious.

LOL, I get what you are saying, but a defense is not going to be tricked into thinking he can complete a pass.

Smart Football has a nice little article on Tebow, and as Chris Brown played QB at one time in his life, coached, and all that, and further, back in 2005, actually scouted Tebow.. he had some interesting things to add. This is Tebow's scouting report from high school..

Tebow, QB, Nease (FL): Dual-threat QB. Solid build, but very good feet. Strong enough arm, accurate on sprint-out and movement passes, accurate on quick game. Appears accurate on intermediate throws if feet set. Throwing release could be more compact but looks like it can be improved. Not particularly shifty but falls forward on QB runs. Just OK at reading DE on zone reads but should improve with reps. Doesn’t seem to get the ball out quickly and if first read isn’t there has tendency to drift and scan vs his progression [i.e., "drift and scan" to me means if first read isn't there, doesn't calmly reset feet and look for second receiver and instead tries to slide or float in pocket and just scan field for any open receiver like backyard football]. Should improve on this at next level. Seems competitive; no obvious behavior changes once team down significant margin.

Chris then notes that it's scary that everything he noted in high school is still in play. It's not his arm, it's how he reads (or doesn't read) defenses.

So, as a tight end/H back/spinning fullback in the single wing/any position that gives him a dual threat and a single read, he's immediately dangerous.

If "hoodie" can teach him to read defenses even to an average NFL level, then they have a QB steal.

: what a funny picture.

There was a better one for Sanchez and Tebow with the Dumb & Dumber cover, but I can't post it due to language. It went something like "Poop & Poopier".

I've always said if Tebow is going to be a better quarterback - which he honestly believes he is - he needs to go to a team with a great quarterback, let him sit and learn.

Tebow has never had that and Urban Meyers ruined him by not investing in Tebow as a passer.

I hope Belichick just lets him sit and learn from Brady for the next two years. He doesn't need to play right now. Don't even play him this year. Just let Tebowmania die for now.

That may be best for Tebow's career.

I doubt Tebow makes the 53-man roster.
