Tim Tebow has had a rocky NFL career starting with a first round draft pick in 2010 and potentially ending with a dismissal from the New England Patriots about ten days ago. But not all hope is lost as Tebow has been offered a potential "million dollar" contract with Arena League franchise LA KISS.
Operating out of Anaheim, California the LA KISS team, owned by the infamous KISS rockers, has extended an official offer to Tim Tebow. Known for his strong Christian beliefs and positive outlook, a partnership with the rowdy rockers may not seem like the most conventional choice, but the band member believe that Tebow can bring a lot to their team.
"Acquiring Tebow would not only be a great investment for the team, but his exciting style of play would definitely send shockwaves through the League," said KISS bassist Gene Simmons, a.k.a. The Demon, in a press release.
"We're excited for the opportunity to see him with an LA KISS uniform on, and for the LA KISS fans to be rockin' their Tebow shirts and jerseys."
The release stated that Tebow would have the opportunity to "earn millions" if he chooses to sign the three-year contract that has officially been extended. The league owner also expressed faith that if Tebow chose to take the offer, he may find one of the best places to improve his skills.
"Similar to how Kurt Warner blossomed in the NFL after becoming one of the greatest quarterbacks in AFL history, we feel our league is the best place for Tim to refine his skills and gain valuable repetitions. We have tremendous faith in Tim's ability to succeed in the AFL," KISS co-owner Brett Bouchy said.
This is not the first offer that has been extended to Tebow by indoor football. The Omaha Beef offered Tebow a contract in April, that same month, Tebow also got an offer from the Lingerie Football League to be the LFL's "National Quarterback Coach." Other offers have also come out of Canada, but Tebow's management team has shown little interest in any of them
No. I’m the one claiming one person ISN’T important “Giving him the win stats ignores the other 52 on the field.” Teams win or lose, declaring all the victories the result of the QB no matter how he performs is stupid. But of course exactly the kind of stupid the Tebow worshipers insist on when they declare he’s a “proven winner” for getting Ws with less than 10 complete passes. Individual plays, often times lacking the player in question, make or break games. We can declare Manning “lost” the game last year, but he wasn’t on the field when a make or break play happened, so maybe the team lost it. We could declare Tebow won a bunch of games, but a good chunk of them he’s only completing 6, 7, 8 passes, not really game winning QB type stuff, so maybe the team won those.
I'm no Tebow worshiper, he clearly has not been able to make it as an NFL QB, but your inability to stop beating the dead horse shows more about your state of mind than Tebow's shortcomings.
Ball control means not turning over the ball and QB’s are team leaders. That’s why the QB is the highest paid player on most teams and the OT that protects him is usually the second highest paid. While QB’s may change plays, the plays are called from the sidelines.
Look this has gotten moronic. You’re now saying the same completely horribly wrong thing for the third time on this thread. It’s over. Tebow stinks. Just like the analysts said he would when he was in college. Sorry you and he can’t accept it, but the facts are the facts and he sucks and you’re both self deluded. Good bye, good luck.
I gave you the quote. I wasn’t trying to make it one person. My “state of mind” on Tebow is that he’s nice guy and a crappy QB. It’s really the sad pathetic worshipers that bug me, the guys that think his failure in the NFL must be anti-Christian bigotry and couldn’t possibly be because he’s a crappy QB. If they’d just rent a freaking clue these threads wouldn’t happen. The saddest part is they’re part of the problem for him. If these folks hadn’t been blowing smoke up his butt all through college he might have actually taken the critics seriously and taken the necessary steps to fix his game so it could work in the NFL. But he believed, and apparently still believes, the wrong set of people and still thinks he has a shot at being an NFL QB.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
