dorquemada Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) Didn't see this posted yet; http://tracking.si.c...t2_a7&eref=sihp Basically, after the Patz cut Tebow, another team showed interest in him, but only if he would consider playing another position. Tebow said no, he'd rather play QB in the Arena League. I wondered if it was the Bills looking for a TE/FB type, seems unlikely, probably more likely it was someone who would see him as a draw for fans, maybe Jacksonville? It's almost too bad, I think he could make a pretty good TE with some decent intangibles. edit for hurr durr Edited September 6, 2013 by dorquemada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microscopes Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Where does it say he would rather play in the arena league? What I read said he has no interest in playing anywhere but the NFL. "Tebow isn’t ready to give up on returning to the NFL, retire, or accept any offer to play for the Canadian Football League or Arena Football League."

Wazzu Bill Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 That's pretty dumb of Tebow...he could at least take an offer to be TE (If it's even true he got an offer) and work on his QB skills in the process...because right now it's not looking like he's worth a dime as QB so he might as well count his losses and switch positions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hindsight Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Simply put, No. I highly doubt it. Marrone has said he wants players on his roster than can contribute today. Tebow, at any position is a project at best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufcomments Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) Well he does have a TE body, we know he can't play QB worth a damn.....

PTR I said in my post that I thought it unlikely that it was the Bills, but was curious nonetheless. It's not like we have any TEs that are going to light up the league as it stands today, which demonstrates the need, not saying Tebow could fill it.

DC Tom Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Can he play CB? Of course. He can play free safety, goalie, point guard, and designated hitter all at the same time. He's Tebow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tebow's a big guy and he could easily take on linebackers in this league. The guy can play football, he's just not suited to be a QB in this league.

Joe Buffalo Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Good luck with that Tim. The guy threw for 7 total touchdowns over the last 19 games he has appeared in. His best season as a QB (2011 Broncos) he only completed 46.5% of his passes. He simply doesn't have it, can't buy it and will never be able to develop it.

Nitro Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Tebow refuses to change positions and does not want to plan in the CFL. Well that says he will never play in the NFL gain unless he humbles himself and gets a personal QB coach and maybe talk to another running southpaw like Steve Young. Young was considered a bust until year 6 of his career. I am sure Mr young can give insight and tips on how to be a better QB. A coach can break some of his bad habits and improve his mechanics. Until then, Mr Tebow will be one of those guys that NFL films does a story on one year wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

run dat back Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 At this stage in the game he's in no position to hold out for what he wants. Take what you can get, or you're out of the game. If by a miracle some team takes you as a QB, it's only going to be a backup position and you're gonna be riding the pine 95% of the time. Meanwhile, has there ever been any fullbacks who could throw a surprise pass here and there? (I know, every throw with Tebow is a surprise...)

Pondslider Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Yep, Tebow is so horrible that 3 NFL teams took a chance on him. He must suck so much. Let's berate him. Three NFL teams also gave up on him. Nobody is berating him. It's the obvious reaction to the years of pushing the Tebow story on everybody who follows college and professional football. Is it fair to him? Maybe not, but he certainly benefitted from it when the all the news was positive. What goes up must come down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonborn10 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Yes he does suck that bad. The jesus crap only makes it worse. The fact he is gay and doesn't come out of the closet is annoying. Perhaps his only redeeming quality is his self awareness that he can't play any position other QB. He is not tall enough or fast enough or big enough to play anything else. He was a great college football player. He can be a hero for other gay players if he admits he is gay. Until then he is an out of work jesus freak who's peak in life occurred at age 22. He has achieved great things in life already. I just hope he can live without the crowds and the adulation. I think he will hit rock bottom in 2 years when he is caught in a park late at night.

T master Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Bottom line is the guy finds ways to win & i believe this is the perfect underdog scenario , the guy will give 900% all the time , he proved in Denver that he could do it but i think Elways ego was to big for the both of them what would have been the best thing for him but to sit behind Peyton & learn .

He proved in Denver he could be awful for three and half quarters, let the defense keep them in the game, and then have one or two good drives. I will not dimiss his drive and energy. Have no issues there. His throw in OT to beat Pittsburgh was perfect. So was Fitz's throw that Stevie dropped that would have beat Pittsburgh in OT. I'm kind of shocked a team like Seattle or San Francisco doesn't bring him in. If either starter was hurt they woudl not have to change the entire offense for him to play. New England, Indy, and Atlanta with classic drop back QB's seem the least liekly places he would succeed. Have no idea what the Belichick was thinking but his FO moves ahve been horrible for 3-4 years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Tebow isn’t ready to give up on returning to the NFL, retire, or accept any offer to play for the Canadian Football League or Arena Football League." Oh Canada .... I love Tebow's spirit, work ethic and leadership but he needs to consider Canada or Arena if he wants to get back into the NFL as a QB. Why do people think he can play TE in the NFL? And why assume the Bills were that team? PTR Lots of QBs switch to TE, he can run like a tank, knows the routes and with his talent and drive he could easily make the transition. My guess is that you'll soon see him in Martial Arts films. Tebow as an MMA Heavy weight would be awesome (meaning cool) and a HUGE draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have "touched" on the point of him being gay two times in this relatively short post...am i missing something here... The other day you made a comment about Jim Leonard not being good because, I believe your words were, "he is too white" but I may be misstating that one. But definitely a comment about skin color... What's the deal? That speaks volumes to the maturity level with which you are working. Wether or not Tebow is gay, and Leonard is white, black, or hell even blue for that matter is completely irrelevant to their abilities athletically. If you don't care for somebody's skill set at least use an argument with valid points... He's gay, or he's white, just leaves me to wondering what on earth that has to do with anything Buffalo Bills, or even football related for that matter. Or is that the kind of well educated, informative responses that we can come to expect day in and day out? Again, I'm just wondering.
