Tim is too popular to be on a team??? That seems unlikely (yes I know he isn’t the greatest player of all time but if he brings in fans why would the owners even care?)

As much as I dislike the Gators, I hope Tim Tebow hasn’t been blackballed. However, there is no telling what The Lord has in store for Tim Tebow. Frank Reich was a relative unknown backup for the Bills who led his team to a huge comeback. Since that day he has shared the gospel from coast to coast in large measure due to the fame he gained from that one game. When Frank entered the NFL he probably didn’t anticipate becoming a pastor and eventual seminary president. He couldn’t have dreamed of one day preaching in my little church, something he has done several times. For a man who knows Christ, life is much bigger than football.

Testaverde says he and former NFL QB Chris Weinke worked with Tebow in April. "Chris and I looked at Tim careful and we were both amazed," Testaverde told Rich Cimini at ESPNNewYork.com. "Everybody has been focusing on his throwing motion, trying to fix that, but nobody had picked up his footwork. His footwork was all screwed up. Chris and I looked at each other after about four or five throws, and we saw the same thing. We got his footwork fixed. His throwing motion is now a non-issue. "He throws with what we call 'effortless power.' He doesn't have that elongated motion anymore and his head isn't moving 2 1/2 feet when he throws it."

If this were about any other young NFL quarterback who needed to develop, then Testaverde's comments would be at the top of every team's mind and that QB would already be signed. But it's Tebow. It's not about his skills, his intelligence or his work ethic. It's about the media circus. And the media loves having someone to crucify.

If he was a complete thug teams would have been fighting to pick him up even if ti was only suggested that his team was dropping him.

In the Bible Potiphars wife lied about Joseph and had him thrown in jail. He went on to become Pharoah’s #1 leader in Egypt. God has a plan for Tebow and no lies or schemes of sinful men can stop it. Can’t wait to see how He will bless TT.

Tim didn’t have God’s back when he backed out of speaking at this church because of a ‘controversial’(truth telling) pastor.http://www.denverpost.com/sports/ci_22636809/tim-tebow-cancels-speech-at-church. Could be a little payback.

Another example of why I have completely given up on all forms of television, including the NFL.

Even in the NFL it is "politics first and above all." Tebow may not be a great, but he is good. Elway canned him because Tebow embarrassed him. Elway couldn't go to the right parties with the right people without facing their disapproval.

Folks can believe what they want but if Tebow decides to switch to halfback or tight end he will be sought after by many teams. At this point the only thing standing between Tebow and an NFL contract is Tebows own stubbornness. Sheesh......

I hope the kid gets another chance from a coach/team that can bring out his true potential. The JETS debacle did a lot of damage to him.

Hell, outright thugs get multiple chances and end up as train wrecks anyway in this league. This kid really did nothing to deserve this treatment.

I find it hard to believe that Tebow could go through a program like the one at University of Florida, spend two years at Denver and a year at New York with all the assistant coaches and all the practices, and nobody would pick up on his footwork.

I wasn’t too impressed with Tebow’s backing out of his commitment to speak to the congregation at First Baptist Dallas. Granted, there may be theological differences, but wouldn’t it have been better for Tebow to just lay out his path the God there, and leave the rest to debate? I wish he would have.

I pray that Tim Tebow believes that he has a higher calling than throwing a ball to tattooed thugs and making billionaires richer while cities that are broke are forced to pay for stadiums out of taxpayer dollars to serve the NFL. I hope he gets a really great offer and then turns it down to go serve the Lord.

I can’t believe the Jets didn’t utilize him in a unique backfield.
Two QBs in the same backfield, one with terrific running ability. Seems to me a whole series of plays could be built around that and drive the defense crazy.

I wonder if Joe Gibbs wouldn’t be able to help find a home for him and a use for his on field talent and give some direction to his off field Christian charisma.

TT needs to follow Densel Washington and get a contract with a Hollywood Film Company or perhaps Walt Disney.He is done as far as football goes, he is just too big of a pain in the ash.

Tebow’s current being in limbo is rather sad. While at Denver he was exciting.
