Well as a life long Pats fan (since the franchise started). let me say the following.
If Hernandez is indicted for Obstruction of Justice he will never play for the Pats again. Gronk will placed on PUP, but will play starting in mid season, don’t think he will be at full strength this year, but will still be a ++ TE. They have plenty of options at TE. Ballard will start and then back up Gronk as the inline TE, Sudfeld will be the surprise and be the pass catching TE (Hernandez’s role). Fells & Hooman will be on the roster 1 may get cut when Gronk returns
Tebow will have a chance to develop as a back up QB for the next few years. He will have chances to show off his skills during preseason games. He could remain as a backup or go to another team to start. IMO they will keep Mallet to become the starter when Brady retires, think Rodgers/Farve or Young/Montana.
I think the Pats will develop Tebow into a serviceable NFL QB, he will be in a very good place to learn.
Typical gator scum. Tebow was too good for them.
