As a Jets fan, I can tell you this: Tim Tebow IS being blackballed...
...because he’s a quarterback who can’t throw the ball.
Don’t get me wrong: I LOVE the guy. What’s not to love. And, AS a Jets fan, I wanted him to start. Mark Sanchez would be better suited to pack groceries at a Pathmark, (assuming they wouldn’t let him pack the eggs.)
I think if Tebow agreed to play another position, Tight End, for instance, he would be playing in the NFL, no problem. His Christianity isn’t keeping him out of the game; his lack of a position does.
I agree with you. I’ve said for years that Tebow is simply not cut out to be an NFL quarterback. Football history is filled with examples of players like him who were exceptional collegiate players but could never replicate their success in the NFL because their position is played so differently at that level.
He does have a noticeable hitch in his throwing motion that makes him vulnerable to fumbles. I remember watching videos of him working on changing that motion after college and just before the NFL draft -- but I don't think he was successful in doing so.
