I think he would be Welcome in Buffalo- we need a quarterback better than what we have and the religious community would make him feel right at home

So did Elway and the Broncos.

Canada may be a good fit for him.

Imagine him as a back on 3rd and 6+... pitch it to him and allow him to run or toss on stretch.

At the very minimum it would be something defenses don’t have to be serious about now - the choice of attacking the run vs defending the pass. Tebow is expert at that option.

There really is not a serious runner who can throw it worth a dang. Not that Tebow is great at throwing but he did win a few games at a high level in the SEC by forcing defenses into the choice outlined above.

The Jets with the blessing of John Elway/Broncos did him dirty.
Manning ha! didn’t even take the Broncos s far as Tebow did....I hope the Broncos flail for years.

Charlotte is the home for him. The fans down here will love him for his faith alone. Plus, with the way they played the last two years, Tebow will help get fans into the stadium.

How is getting a better QB “doing him dirty?” Their job is to win. Tebow couldn’t even beat out Mark Sanchez. And at the end of last year when he had a chance to start, the Jets started Greg McElroy over Tebow.

Tebow’s problems at NYJ say more about that idiot Ryan than about Tebow. How that guy keeps his job is beyond me.

My guess would be Jacksonville. Gabbert, Henne, a rookie quarterback and Tebow. Jax is his hometown. He could fill up the stadium. They need that more than anything else.

Although I live in Florida, I'm not a native, and certainly not a "gator fan".

Tim Tebow played for the Florida Gators, and (as I recall, led them to two (2) National Championships ... and I think, won the Heisman Trophy twice.



Now, I don't follow college football all that much ...

but Tim Tebow's accomplishments clearly place him as one of the "most outstanding" college quarterbacks of all time.

and "that's a fact".



Tim Tebow's destiny is "not" controlled by John Elway, or the cynical atheistic NY sports press corps ...

it's guided by Christ Jesus ... and as long as Tim Rebow walks that path ...

he'll do just fine.

as a God fearing man, he’ll be fine whatever he does. as for football, speaking as an former college player, he’s fantastic, top notch, but more importantly, he’s a far better man then football player. God bless him.

Of course they didn’t work out the way you hoped. You hoped that your starting QB would be so good that you would never need to think of using Tebow. But he wasn’t, and you still didn’t use Tebow. So you screwed yourself there.

Surprised it took 14 posts for someone to make the obvious point.

Rex Ryan has been Sanchez’ biggest problem, too.
