You took me wrong...or maybe I worded it incorrectly...I meant Tim wants to play....If a woman can play a man’s game, then a man should be able to play on a womens team....
Let’s open all sports to either sex and see who gets the money....

(BTW, I did play at the college level and coached both college and high school football....)

NOW your meaning comes across.

I have played with a few players who were all conference players or the best at their colleges, who got invites to combines or at least "looks" by teams. When these guys say they knew they were out classed just walking on the field, it gave me a new appreciation for the pro's.

Every year approximately 3500 div 1 or 2 players graduate and are "eligible" for the draft. About 254 are drafted. Of those drafted about 30-50 (maybe) actually make a team in one form or another. The average NFL career is 4 years. That means for every player like Peyton Manning there are numerous players who make the pros by their finger nails and are gone in a year or 2.

Tim Tebow catches a lot of flak. Most of these people don't have a clue as to how good an athlete even the lowest player on a team is. Tebow at least made the pros for a short while and was a starter.

I was at the Denver v Detroit game a few years back and thought Tebow was out of his element.

I would love to see him play at another position, if possible. (Just to make it in the NFL at ONE position is an accomplishment. To be considered able to play another says a lot about ones athleticism)
