" It is such a shame he does not change to another position. I think he is being stubborn. He is not a great quarterback to say the least, but would be good in another position. "

In the second place, because I'm always fair about this kind of stuff, Tebow was a great QB when he was at the U of Florida. Doesn't mean he's going to be a great NFL QB or even a good one, and he's not.

In the first place...

What he is, is PRIDEFUL.

He had a chance at still being on the roster in New York, only at TE / H-back.

That turned out to not be good enough for him and his penchant for self-promotion, and the Jets, in spite of all the criticism that sticks to them, were being fair when they said "Fine, check out what happens to everyone in the league when the team doesn't have a place for them on the roster."

Let's see what happens with the Jags, or maybe he'll wise up and ask someone to give him a look at TE or H-back or whatever. I mean gee, the guy can run, he ain't afraid of getting hit, he ought to be able to catch, he'd always be a threat to throw or run on a trick play... can he block or does he just not want to?

The narrative about poor Tim being discriminated against because he's a Christian just doesn't make sense to me. In order for that to work, one would have to believe that he's the ONLY Christian in the league.

I think he's having trouble finding a place in the league mostly because he's a prideful, (see also "original sin") self-promoting showboat. Otherwise he would have shown some interest when the jets said they wanted to look at him at TE, which implied maybe keeping him on the roster at TE.

“He had a chance at still being on the roster in New York, only at TE / H-back. “

So you don’t think he can fix his throwing motion but you think he can learn to block and catch well enough to play TE in the NFL despite the fact tha he has never played a position that required him to do those things?

He signed as a QB. The Jets didn’t want to keep him as a QB. I don’t know if he was offered a chance to stay as a TE/H-back, but he was under no obligation to accept that offer if it was made. When training camps roll around, if he still doesn’t have a team he can re-evaluate his options.

He has probably already made enough money to not have a real job in his like. If he can’t get a job as a QB, maybe he will decide to do something other than football. If his heart isn’t in the TE/H-back position, that might be for the best.
