Please note that I said “interested”. Will the other 3 or so QBs in Washington be able to run the offense installed to fit RG-III’s style? I’m thinking Tebow can be interchageable for RG-III.

Again, ‘Skins might be “interested”.

A smart (politically) NFL team will let Tebow languish and then pick him up when they need him - another Jeff George scenario (not to say that Tebow is equal to George).

With George, it was his ego that turned off the PC owners club. With Tebow it is his unabashed reverence and honoring of God that torques the owners; they don’t want the “XPian albatross” hung on them.

At some point, tho, they want to make money which translates to “butts in the bleachers”.

Sorry, I don’t agree. If the man could complete a pass, they’d build a chapel for him on the 50 yard line if they had to.

Tebow interchangeable with RGIII is like saying Helen Thomas is interchangeable with Catherine Zeta Jones.

George didn’t turn off owners with his ego. He turned off coaches by constantly not running the plays they called and replacing them with long bombs that fell incomplete. There’s plenty of guys in the NFL giving at least as much reverence to God as Tebow, they’re in the NFL because they ALSO do their job, which Tebow does not.

"With Tebow it is his unabashed reverence and honoring of God that torques the owners;"

A few players and some fans don't like him for his religion, but Tebow is not the only player who is a Christian and willing to say so, and owners will not reject a player for his religious beliefs. After last week's pre-season game between Oakland and Seattle, a group of players from both teams - including Seattle QB Russell Wilson - knelt down on the field and said a brief prayer.
