Why The Eagles Really Signed Tim Tebow
CBS DC ^ | 2015-04-20 | Brian Tinsman

WASHINGTON – If Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly is being paid by media impressions, he will be a very rich man by the end of the offseason.

The team with the most high profile roster moves in 2015–particularly at the quarterback position–did it again Monday, signing former Heisman winner Tim Tebow to the 90-man roster. After a season in which Nick Foles and Mark Sanchez split starts at quarterback, the Redskins’ division rivals will have their pick of Sanchez, Sam Bradford, Matt Barkley and now Tebow.

Or possibly others, at this rate.

With the exclusion of Barkley, who has never been tested in NFL action, the rest of this group shares a theme of hype, disappointment and an attempt at vindication.

I'll bet there'll be a great many football 'experts' watching Tebow very carefully and praying he doesn't end up making fools of them.

I hope he kicks some butt.

I hope Tebow gets a chance to show what he can do. But Foles is by far the best of those quarterbacks right now. Not sure why Kelly would let someone that good go.

Let's just hope they play him. I'd love to see him go up against the Broncos, and win.

They signed this Desperado because he really can Take it To the Limit, even if he’s no longer The New Kid in Town, he’s still a good bet in The Long Run but, I can’t Tell You Why..

A Heartache Tonight is what the opposition faces and they won’t belive their Lyin Eyes...

Ba Da Bing!

Well, I’m glad they “really” signed him instead of “fakely.”

Turn up the Eagles. The neighbors are listening.
